The red pepper or cayenne is a small perennial shrub that is
a native of South America, or any other warm of the world. This plant has white
flowers, then green, and then eventually red or yellow pods.
Cayenne can be taken in capsules, extract form, or powder by
just sprinkling it over your food, just go with a light hand unless you can
take the heat.
The benefits of taking cayenne are very effective for
treating a cold, poor circulation, or a weak digestion. In some of the tropical
climates cayenne when taken actually cools the body by promoting sweating.
The health benefits are many there are prescription creams
and liniments that can treat be shingles, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome,
and even sore muscles. The reason it is so effective is that there is an active
ingredient called “capsaicin” which effectively blocks the transmission of the
pain impulse in the body.
The burning sensation that you may feel after ingesting cayenne
is normal and won’t hurt you, and in fact cayenne can help heal an ulcer rather
than aggravate it.
