Hot Sauce Love

It might sound like a terrible thing to do, but scientists both in Europe and the United States have begun dripping hot sauce on open wounds. They say that chili peppers may hold the key to after-surgery pain relief. A pain specialist from Denmark named Dr. Eske Aasvang and a California-based company Anesiva, Inc. are using a purified phytochemical chemical called capsaicin to help patients get over the pain of surgery.

Chili peppers have traditionally been used as a topical painkiller, with capsaicin creams available in tubes or jars or as the active ingredient in heating pads for sale at most drugstores. It can also relieve itching (pruritis). Among the conditions it is used for are back pain, bursitis, fibromyalgia, joint pain, muscle pain, nerve pain, osteoarthritis, pain due to diabetic, neuropathy, phantom pain after amputation, post-herpetic neuralgia, post-surgical neuropathic pain, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Capsaicin or 8-methyl N-vanillyl 6nonamide is one of the six capsaicinoid compounds in chili peppers, and is what gives them their distinctive mouth-burning, eye-watering, and sweat-breaking spiciness. It

works by activating the chemical terminals of sensory neurons which increases membrane permeability to elements like calcium and sodium, thereby triggering the release of substance P, the substance responsible for the sensations of pain we experience inside our mouths when eating a habanero chili pepper. The chemical terminals are receptors called transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1). When they bind with capsaicin, they open and allow the latter to enter specific pain fibers, letting extra calcium inside the cells until the nerves become overloaded and shut down. When these cells shut down, it temporarily numbs the feeling in that specific area where it was applied.

The brain responds to the burning sensation by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller.

Endorphins are a class of neurotransmitters produced by the body to respond to any kind of pain, and bonds to some of the same receptors in the brain as the opioid morphine. The term itself is a blend of two words coined by American scientists Rabi Simantov and Solomon H. Snyder, “endogenous” and “morphine” and literally means “morphine produced naturally in the body.” Endorphins are also known to cause a sense of well-being, and is the attributed cause of a phenomenon called “runner’s high.” This is largely because its release is triggered by exercise, which puts a great deal of wear and tear on the body and causing muscle pain. The muscle pain in turn becomes the signal for the body to release endorphins. Similarly, capsaicin has also been known to trigger the release of endorphins.

But it is the feeling of numbness that scientists would like to explore further. By bathing surgically exposed nerves in a high enough dose of capsaicin, the area should be numbed for weeks, translating to less pain and suffering for those who have just undergone surgery. It means that patients will require fewer opioid painkillers as they heal. Opioid painkillers are also fraught with serious side effects that limit their use, and are potentially addictive. The most common side effects of opioids (morphine) include euphoria, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, dilated pupils and respiratory depression. Some side effects may be harmful or even lethal. But with capsaicin, research suggests that a one-time dose applied to the wound that works inside the wound, allowing patients to start physical therapy after surgery without needing to be incapacitated by the side effects of opiate-based painkillers.

Although the application for chili peppers for pain relief after surgery is yet to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, many scientists are optimistic that capsaicin is the future of pain relief.

Sauces are food seasonings and flavorings used in garnishing and enhancing the thirst of food or meals. Whether it is on top of vegetables or meats, or used as a dipping sauce, numerous people use some form of sauce in their daily activities.

During the summer months, I like to make my own homemade spaghetti sauce. Once I have it made, I will freeze or can it for future use. This particular sauce is great for spaghetti, lasagna, rigatoni, ravioli and manicotti.

How to can your spaghetti sauce:

Sterilize and clean your canning jars. (I prefer using quart-sized wide mouth jars). Ladle hot mixture into hot jars. Clean the rims of jars with a clean cotton towel. Seal jars and then process in a water bath canner for 30 minutes. Remove jars from canner and allow them to cool down in a non-drafty area of your kitchen.

I have always wanted to make my own salsa, and I anticipate in the next year or so I will be able to do that when my wife graduates and we find her a great job in a larger city. My plan is to start our own garden, and grow all the essential things I will need to create original, authentic sauces, including bitingly hot, spicy salsa.

I would really like to experiment with hot sauces like Louisiana style, Mexican, and Asian style sauces. In order to make a hot sauce with my garden, I needed to become familiar with the Scoville scale that measures hotness. I also needed to become extremely familiar with jalapenos

I do not know much about gardening, but the area where we live is very fertile, and there are lots of people around who know how to do it, so I can get some real pointers from them. My brother in law, as a matter of fact, comes from a family where the dad grew vegetables in a huge backyard garden. They were always giving us peppers, squash, onions, tomatoes, and all sorts of great vegetables that I knew would work wonderfully in a salsa mix.

So what I will need to do first is investigate about home gardening, and find out which peppers and other vegetables grow well in the area that we will be moving to. Then I will need to decide how large I want the garden to be. In order to do that, I will simply reference the information on the Internet, and also get some advice from friends that have small gardens. I suppose it would not hurt to visit the local do it yourself store as well, since I will be headed there anyway for seed and fertilizer.

One question I will have is what kind of yield to expect? Once I have my garden set up and ready to go, I need to have some kind of idea on how much food will be grown in that area. Then I can prepare for it, and when it is time to harvest the vegetables, I will have plenty of storage space for all the produce.

After harvesting, I will review some recipes for salsa. I’m already a fairly good cook, so once I’ve learned a recipe and it turns out well, then I will feel comfortable experimenting with different seasonings and combinations of peppers. Afterwards, I can share my new, homegrown concoction with some friends, and if they like it than perhaps I will approach the local grocer. Salsa is definitely one of my favorite foods. Hot or mild, sweet, tangy, sour, it doesn’t matter, I love it all.

It will take some work, and I know there are some unexpected challenges coming my way with the idea of starting a garden, but I think it will be worth it. I look forward to the upcoming year and the prospect of learning how to start my own garden, harvest it, and create a delicious salsa that everyone will love!
