The Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Tweet

I am into natural remedies so I wanted to share this with you all and discover the benefits of cayenne pepper. 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.
