One of the most effective stimulants, cayenne targets the digestive

and the circulatory system primarily. Cayenne regulates blood pressure,

strengthens the pulse, feeds the heart, lowers cholesterol, thins the

blood, cleanses the circulatory system, heals ulcers, stops

hemorrhaging, speeds healing of wounds, rebuilds damaged tissue, eases

congestion, aids digestions, regulates elimination, relieves arthritis

and rheumatism, prevents the spread of infection and numbs pain.

Cayenne stimulates every system and cell of the body. Cayenne has

been valued around the world for its uses as a stimulant, astringent,

antispasmodic, circulatory tonic, anti-depressant and antibacterial

agent. In addition, cayenne acts as a diaphoretic to induce sweating, a

rubefacient to increase circulation at the skin's surface and a

carminative to help prevent and eliminate gas.

As a condiment, cayenne aids digestions and soothes intestinal ailments by stimulating the stomach to produce mucous.

In the circulatory system, it helps the arteries, veins and

capillaries regain the elasticity of youth by feeding the cell

structure. It helps equalize circulation by regulating the flow of

blood from the head to the feet. Cayenne strengthens the pulse by

increasing the power, not the frequency... In addition to helping

prevent the build-up of cholesterol which can narrow the veins and

arteries, cayenne also helps thin the blood and prevent blood clots

that can clog the arteries and cause heart attack and stroke.

In more ways than any other herb, cayenne gets the blood moving.

Touted as "the purest and most certain stimulant known to man," cayenne

is considered to be one of the best crisis herbs. By helping the

circulatory system operate more efficiently, the snappy red pepper

boost the energy level and eases the damaging effects of stress on the

body.

By increasing the circulation of the blood to peripheral tissues

throughout the body, cayenne helps deliver necessary nutrients to

inflamed and infected areas. Studies show that the nutrients in food

ingested with cayenne are assimilated faster and more easily.

The herb itself contains many nutrients essential to the health of the circulatory system including alpha-tocopherols, vitamin C

and minerals. Cayenne also contains a high amount of vitamin A

(beta-carotene) which aids in healing ulcers... Cayenne's high mineral

content, including sulphur, iron, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus,

makes it an effective treatment for diabetes, gas, arthritis,

pancreatic and throat disorders.

One of the most remarkable qualities of Cayenne is its ability to

act as a catalyst. Cayenne intensifies the beneficial effects of other

herbs by ensuring speedy and thorough distribution of the herb's active

components to the important functional centers of the body such as

those responsible for metabolism, data transmission, cellular

respiration and neural hormonal activity.

Just a small quantity of Cayenne can dramatically increase the

efficiency of most herbs, this catalyst herb is added to nearly every

herbal combination available. Added to garlic, for example, Cayenne

speeds up the antibiotic action of the other herb. Cayenne boosts the

power of garlic so much it's akin to taking liquid penicillin.

Together, garlic and Cayenne lower blood pressure safely and rapidly.

Cayenne is used in formulas for pain relief, infection, respiratory

ailments, female problems, thyroid balance and heart treatments.

Cayenne is an ingredient in laxatives, diuretics and ulcer medication.

Added to ginger, Cayenne helps clean out the bronchial tubes... This

powerful stimulant can also be used as a relaxant to soothe gas,

diarrhea, asthma and toothaches.

Externally, the aromatic herb makes a very effective pain killer or

anesthetic. Cayenne has been used in poultices for centuries as an

irritant or counter-irritant. Exposure to the pungent herb can cause

pain but prolonged exposure deadens the nerves to pain.

Folk medicine prescribes Cayenne powder, plaster, poultice, tincture

and ointment for a variety of aches and pains including arthritis,

rheumatism and bursitis. Cayenne has also been touted as one of the

most powerful cures for hemorrhoids. Application of Cayenne ointment

brings relief from hemorrhoids but it is also recommended that the

patient be warned of the pungent herb's potency... Mexican folklore

also refers to the use of Cayenne as a pain killer and it has been

applied dry on wounds.

With the advent of the gelatin capsule, people who could not

tolerate the bite of the red pepper can take it with ease... It is

important to remember that a little Cayenne goes a long way. Nature

made the red pepper hot for a reason so if you can't swallow too much

outside the capsule, don't try to swallow to much inside the capsule.

People who don't usually eat hot spicy food should build tolerance

slowly.
