Anyone know

where I can get "capascin oil"? It's an extract from hot peppers, and there are aromatherapy uses for it, and I want to try some of them. Is it the same stuff as for culinary use?

I know you can get habanero oil (5.3M CTH Capsaisin oil) in spray form from Fox Labs... I carry one around on my keychain for when I'm downtown at night.

You can learn a lot about it from the Wiki article, too. Alas that there's no place to purchase, there. But I will advise you to be very careful with the oil... the spray I have will incapacitate a drunk-and-beligerent individual upon contact with any skin (let alone in the face), so this is not stuff you want to spill or mishandle. ;)

I should have linked you to the Fox Labs site right away. Here is their discussion on Pepper Spray, which is incredibly informative, despite it's bias towards their (very much superior) product.

While I appreciate the effort and concern, TK, I want it for therapeutic purposes, not defensive :)

Oh, I understand that. But the site made for interesting reading, and I just wanted to pass along the info. It's actually a well-written site. :)
