Cayenne pepper is one of my favorite herbs and is on my top 5 important herb list because it has so many uses and i love how it spices up the flavor of foods.
Cayenne is often referred to as chili, which is the Aztec name for cayenne pepper.
One of the greatest health benefits from regular cayenne use is for the heart. Scientific research indicates that cayenne can help to strengthen the heart, remove plaque build up in the arteries, remove toxins from the bloodstream, and stop a heart attack. It stimulates blood and lymph circulation and helps to build red blood cells. It is useful in treating a sore throat, eliminating headaches, aiding digestion, and helping with weight loss. It is high in vitamin E and C, is used to treat flu and cold symptoms, and helps to relieve muscle and joint pain. Cayenne has too many benefits to list here; there are entire books written on this delightful herb. So try out a few remedies using this fiery conqueror!
