How to prepare Capsicum Liniment

A liniment prepared from mature fruits of Capsicum frutescens L; applied by massaging gently a few drops on painful muscles and joints, morning and night.

Materials:

Siling labuyo fruits,
Vegetable oil,
Wide-mouthed glass jar with cover,
Medicine bottles,
Labels

Procedure:

1. Macerate siling labuyo fruits in vegetable oil, enough to cover all the fruits, for one week. Keep the jar covered.
2. After one week, strain to separate the fruits from the oil. (The macerated fruits may be discarded; or leave the maceration mixture in the jar and just decant portions of the oil as needed, from time to time).
3. If the resulting product is turbid (cloudy), heat the oil gently at low temperature (do not boil) until the product becomes clear.
4. Transfer to medicine bottles.
5. Label properly.
