I used to use cayenne on cuts but it hurts like fire and I never use it to cook with, so don’t have it on hand any more. I like turmeric better and find it works as well.
But certainly both are good.
Cayenne does sting but found that was a minor discomfort. No worse than Mecurachrome or Merthiolate (forget which caused a burning sensation when used; LOL that was years ago)
Never tried this with the turmeric
I sliced my finger up last week using one of those super sharp Japanese knives to cut up a cardboard box. Yeah, what was I thinking?
It was a jagged cut and wasn’t healing well. So I made a paste with turmeric powder, put it on it, and within two days I could go without a Band-Aid. After that it healed really quick.
