This
is a magical herb and has numerous external and internal uses.
Cayenne is a traditional spice and additive to many health foods. It is widely used in Mexican and East Asian cuisines.
Also known as Capsicum, its botanical name is derived from a Greek word meaning 'to bite'. It is closely related to the other species of pepper, especially the sweet red and chilli pepper. However, cayenne is the species which is used medicinally for its stimulant, antiseptic actions and its digestive properties.
Internally cayenne is considered one of the best circulatory stimulants. It stimulates all parts and systems involved with blood flow. Its stimulating properties also extend to the digestive system, by stimulating the flow of saliva and stomach secretions.
It also make a wonderful supplement for circulation when it is combined
with ginkgo biloba, ginger and garlic. We have full information on this
on our blood circulation page.
CAUTION: Large amounts of cayenne can irritate the gastrointestinal
system and it is always best to start with small amounts before
increasing quantities. Follow the label instructions.
