Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper: Cayenne pepper health benefits.

Cayenne Also known as: Bird pepper. Latin description: Capsicum frutescens.

USES: It is unequalled for warding off disease and equalizing circulation. It increases heart action without raising blood pressure. It is useful as an internal disinfectant. Although it has a hot feeling, it does not damage tissue as some other hot herbs can do. It is the purest and best stimulant and also acts as a catalyst enhancing effectiveness of other herbs. It can stop haemorrhage internally or externally. Amazingly it heals stomach and intestinal ulcers.

It is a good emergency remedy: if someone is having a heart attack or other heart symptoms, while you are rushing him to hospital, put a few drops of tincture of cayenne under his tongue, or mix some cayenne with a bit of water and put the paste under his tongue: if the patient is semi-conscious, don’t put in enough to choke him but you can still put some under the tongue: For angina, the tincture in a bit of warm water usually does the trick or a bit of the powdered herb in water. The cayenne from herbal suppliers is many times hotter than that on your grocery shelf, but in a pinch, any cayenne is better than none.

People with damaged or weak hearts have found great help in taking cayenne capsules regularly: start with 1 and work up to 3-4 a day. Cayenne is useful in lowering blood pressure. It should only be taken short term. It is an excellent gargle for sore throat and oral ulcers. It allays the pain as well as purifying and cleansing. It is antibacterial. Cayenne is a tremendous remedy for stopping bleeding both internally and externally. It is indicated in use for arthritis internally and externally.

If you do not have access to medical attention and some one is having a heart attack, several capsules orally may be quite beneficial towards keeping the heart beating and regulating the beat. Cayenne will also stay off and avert the heart attack temporarily.

It can be used internally and externally for pleurisy. It is also a systemic stimulant. It is not a neurological stimulant or a nervous system stimulant like many of the other stimulants that we know of like caffeine, etc. Used on a short term basis it can be good for increasing vitality overall.

Cayenne should be understood to be a natural medicine and not a long term food product. Many people use it as a dietary mainstay as far as a seasoning or a flavoring and that should probably not be done. There is controversy surrounding cayenne as part of the diet. Although it does appear that cayenne can be an irritant to the digestive system, that seems to only be where it is cooked and not taken simply as a dried and ground product.
