Cayenne pepper is a good treatment for sciatica. Cayenne pepper contains a substance called capsaicin, which when applied externally, acts as a powerful stimulant. It is applied externally in a poultice. It slightly irritates the skin and stimulates blood flow to the area, which reduces inflammation. Be careful with excessive contact with the skin for it can cause dermatitis and blistering.
