Materials
Castor Oil
Cayenne Pepper
An Empty Container that can withstand heat
Optional: Lavender Oil
Step 1: Gather all your materials together in one place. Open your empty container.
Step 2: Place your desired amount of Cayenne Pepper into the container. I always am very liberal with how much I add because Cayenne Pepper is a strong anti-inflammatory, and I know that the more I add, the more potent my mix will be.
Step 3: Pour in your Castor Oil.
Step 4: Seal your container and store in a cool dry place.
After the Castor Oil is poured in to your container, don't mix around the oil! As the Cayenne Pepper absorbs the Castor Oil it will turn a darker color, showing that it is saturated with oil. You don't want any of the Cayenne Pepper to settle on top of the castor oil, because then it won't saturate. However, if that does happen, simply place your tightly sealed container into another container of hot water, and shake it up until the castor oil and cayenne pepper are completely mixed together, with no cayenne pepper sitting on top of the oil.
When you are ready to use your oil, either use it as is, rubbing the oil between your hands to heat it up, or place the tightly sealed container into another container full of hot water to heat your oil. When I heat my oil, I usually place the container into boiled water to get maximum potency, and then I use the oil once it's heated.
Be careful not to let any water get into your container! That will make the oil mixture start to go bad.
Optional: Add a few drops of lavender oil to your mix to make it smell nice! As I've mentioned before, Lavender Oil also has anti-inflammatory properties. :)

I didn't bother to measure how much Cayenne Pepper I put, I just put a lot! |

After pouring in the Castor Oil. I didn't measure the amount of Castor Oil either, just made sure to add enough to more than cover the Cayenne Pepper. |

This is what your finished product will look like. |
