While each of these natural anesthetics is applied using a different method, they are all topical. This means they are not digested but are instead put into the affected area. That way, the substance goes right to the source of the pain. There are so many other natural aesthetics out there so do some additional research if you're interested! You might find yourself stocking your medicine cabinet with these natural alternatives instead of bottles from the drugstore.

Clove Oil

Clove oil has been used for centuries to relieve toothaches.

You can make a gel with it or simply dab some of the oil straight onto your gum and let it sit. Keep in mind though that this is only going to numb your tooth, not cure the problem. You’re eventually going to need to take care of the bad tooth.

Clove oil can also be used to relieve itching and burning related to dry skin, poison ivy and poison oak.

Cayenne Pepper

In addition to many other health benefits, the capsaicin in cayenne pepper is also great to use to treat arthritis, bursitis, psoriasis, eczema, muscle pain, and nerve pain.

Capsaicin causes your body to release a chemical called Substance P. This is the chemical that carries pain messages from your nerves to your brain.

In addition to capsaicin, cayenne also contains salicylates, the same compounds found in aspirin.

The best way to apply the cayenne to your skin is to make a gel or cream out of it using coconut oil or other natural bases. When you first apply it, you’ll feel hot. That’s because the capsaicin is causing the Substance P to flood through.

Lavender

This pretty purple flower has been used for centuries as an antiseptic, topical anesthetic and sedative.

It’s great to use to treat cuts and scrapes too because in addition to relieving the pain, it also helps prevent scarring and stop bleeding.

If you make a lavender salve, you can rub it on your muscles and joints to relieve sprains and other muscle pain as well as cramps and sore feet.

Wintergreen

Wintergreen is just a mild anesthetic that’s good to treat toothaches or stomach aches.
