7.Capsaicin
Put it on your skin in a cream, ointment, or patch, and it breaks down substances in nerve endings around there so they can’t send pain signals. One study found that people who used a capsaicin patch one time for 60 minutes had pain relief for up to 12 weeks. This is the chemical that makes peppers hot, and it can burn a little when you apply it.
8.Supplements
More research is needed, but early studies suggest that the antioxidants alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and acetyl-L-carnitine may protect and repair nerves and lessen pain. Check with your doctor before you start taking these because they can cause problems for some people and with some medications.
