and knows his herbs.

Some people are advised to avoid plants from the nightshade family

(tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes, tobacco), so does this mean that

they should stay away from cayenne? (It IS the cayenne pepper plant we are

talking about, right?)

xcerpts from The How to Herb Book

Cayenne or capsicum, one of the most important herbs, is a wonderful

healer. References to it have even been found on plaques in the

Egyptian tombs. It is an herb many herbalists would choose if they

could only have one herb. It is found in many combinations with other

herbs because it acts as a catalyst.

Nutritional as well as medicinal.Builds up the body's resistance. High in vitamin C, good to take at the beginning of a cold. One of the best general stimulants. Stimulation is the key to

healing. When the body and its organs are properly stimulated, they

will heal, cleanse and begin to function normally. If taken regularly

it will reach every part of the body. Improves entire circulatory system; feeds the cell structures of

arteries, veins, and capillaries so they will regain elasticity. Regulates the flow of blood so it influences the heart immediately

– the frequency of the pulse is not increased but is given more power. Normalizes blood pressure; used for both high and low blood pressure.Taken internally for an injury to stop internal or external

bleeding. The powder can be poured directly on an external wound to

stop bleeding, fight infection and promote healing. It may feel warm

but it will never cause a blister. Used to treat shock or to keep someone from going into shock.Used with lobelia for tetanus.Used for a gargle for sore throats and pyorrhea.The tincture is excellent for first-aid kits. It is an herb to keep on hand.

Excerpts from Practical Herbalism

Capsicum (cayenne) has benefits for both the young and old, but is

particularly useful in the elderly and the debilitated, when the

body-heat is low, vitality depressed, and reaction sluggish.

This medicine possesses an extraordinary power in removing congestion by its action upon the nerves and circulation.

Tired, painful muscles, stiffened joints, poor circulation, and

relaxation of any part are common conditions in the elderly that can be

improved by Capsicum (cayenne).

Externally, the infusion and tincture have been found valuable as a stimulating astringent gargle for sore throat.

Powdered Capsicum (cayenne), sprinkled inside the stockings, was a

favorite prescription of the Eclectics for cold feet, a practical use

no doubt derived from an old folk remedy.

Indicated Usages - External:

Arthritis, muscle painLaryngitisBleeding wounds (styptic)Cold ExtremitiesSore throat, TonsillitisRheumatismPleurisy, Lung Congestion

Excerpts from Nutritional Herbology

Contains aromatic resins that increase blood circulation, promote

sweating, increase the production of digestive fluids and reduce muscle

spasms. It has been used to treat flatulence, colic, ulcers, rheumatic

arthritis, cold hands and feet and dropsy.

The most common use of capsicum (cayenne) by the South Americans was

as a condiment, since their vegetable diet made them develop flatulence

(gas) that capsicum helped correct.

The most striking medicinal use of capsicum is as a catalyst herb in

nearly every herbal combination conceivable. As a rule of thumb,

capsicum is added to nearly all formulas except nervines. Its stimulant

effects speed the circulation causing it to enhance digestion and

absorption and thus the effectiveness of nearly any herbal formula.

Capsicum is used in this manner in formulas for pain relief of

arthritis, female complaints, athletics, infections, heart, laxatives,

diuretics, ulcers, thyroid balance, male tonic, and cleansing and

respiratory ailments.

Thomson incorporated capsicum into his system of medicine.

According to Thomson, illness is the result of loss of heat. Treatment

of an illness required ridding the body of toxins and restoring the

life heat. Capsicum was often his herb of choice because of its

pungency.

Capsicum has also been used in poultices as an irritant and

counter-irritant. Exposure to the pungent principle causes pain.

Prolonged exposure deadens the nerves to any pain. Prolonged exposure

to mucosa will make the mucosa insensitive to industrial pollution. As

a condiment, capsicum stimulates the stomach to produce mucous which

tends to sooth some intestinal ailments.

From Our Reading and/or Experience...

This is not like the Cayenne you may find on a spice rack in a supermarket. This is much fresher and more effective.To avoid stomach upset, Cayenne should not be used internally on an empty stomach.Like most spices, it is potent and a little goes a long way.

Nonetheless, we do go wild with it. This is probably our all time

favorite herb. Second, only to Garlic.We hardly make a tincture or fill capsules without adding a little

bit of Cayenne. It not only aids with the digestion of other herbs, but

it magnifies their properties too. Of course, it can be used in many

other types of remedies. Except as a tea, as powders are not normally

used in tea combinations.The only time Cayenne is used in teas is during a trauma and/or

medical emergency. When it comes to hemorrhaging, heart attack, shock,

and so on, a cup of warm water with no more than a teaspoon of Cayenne

is what we have used with great success. Of course, it is not a

pleasant drink, but during such immediate and life threatening

situations, it's what we choose.Cayenne is a food and spice. Thus, we keep it in the kitchen as all

other food ingredients. We add it to many dishes (salads, meat dishes,

stir fry, vegetables, and on, and on) to enhance the flavor and add

nutritional value to our foods. We recently started adding a tiny bit

of Cayenne to our home-made ice cream recipes. We first had this on an

outing in Ohio, and it was unforgettably good.For oral health, we also sprinkle some on the toothpaste on the

toothbrush, almost daily, before brushing. It's reported to cure or, in

our case, prevent many dental issues. It tastes great, too.Cayenne can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including

before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.As is the case with most spices, Cayenne should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.
