I have severely burning feel on my lips from eating salsa with jalapenos.

One of the simplest and best home remedies for jalapeno burn relief that you could use is cold milk. Cold milk can be applied on the burn or even drunk to provide quick relief from the burning sensation. Milk contains casein which helps in removing the capsaicin from the nerve receptor binding sites inside the mouth and on the lips. Another one of the effective jalapeno burn remedies is lemon juice which can be applied on the site of the burn to provide pain relief. Lemon juice contains citric acid which helps in neutralizing the alkaline content in the jalapeno capsaicin. It can also be used as a mouthwash incase of burns inside the mouth.

Lemon balm can also be applied on the lips for quick and effective jalapeno burn relief. A good natural cure for jalapeno burn relief is a thick paste of baking soda and milk which can be applied on the burn site and left for at least 5 minutes. This remedy should be repeated at least 5 times a day to get good relief from the burning sensation and pain. Aloe vera gel can also be directly applied on the lips to provide relief from the stinging pain and burning sensation.

Sucking on a ice cube serves as a remedy for pain relief from jalapeno burns. Baking soda, when used for brushing, instead of toothpaste provides relief. Iron-rich foods are recommended and further intake of spicy irritant foods are temporarily avoided.
