Cayenne pepper has a lot of uses and is pretty underrated. I mentioned in an earlier post how Cayenne can help fight against colds and flus. There are a lot of other properties and benefits that come from this fiery little pepper though.- Migraine prevention
- Anti-irritant
- Anti-fungal
- Anti-allergen (has been known to help relieve some allergies)
- Digestive aid
- Helps reduce blood clotting
- Aids in detox (promotes circulation)
- Relieves joint pain
- Anti-bactieral
- Prevents tooth and gum disease.
- As a poultice, cayenne has been used to treat rheumatism, sores, wounds and lumbago.
Capsaicin is what gives Cayenne the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Any hot pepper will have these properties. This is why you can see hot sauce being left out at restaurants and never getting stored in a fridge or freezer.
I'm sure I'll have more to write about hot peppers in the future. However, Cayenne stands out among all of them as an amazing healing pepper.
