Health benefits
It is said to be one of the purest and most effective natural stimulants in herbal medicine. It produces natural warmth and is said to promote blood circulation and aid digestion. It is added to tonics and is thought to help prevent infections, especially colds and fevers.
Cayenne pepper can also be used to treat chilblains.
Many from around the world recount amazing results from using cayenne pepper. It improves circulation, rebuilds blood cells, lowers cholesterol, emulsifies triglycerides, removes toxins from the bloodstream and improves overall heart health. It's even a great insect repellent.
As mentioned, it can also heal ulcers, which seems contradictory considering its native calidity or heat. It immediately equalizes blood pressure in your system, shrinks hemorrhoids, and heals the gall bladder too.
Cayenne pepper is added sparingly to curries, etc.
