Hello everyone! A new month is already upon us. Wow, does time fly. I would like to share a little bit about Cayenne pepper this month. Now, there are two kinds of Cayenne. There is the culinary Cayenne and the medicinal Cayenne. The culinary cayenne is excellent for spicing up food. However, I don't know if it works very well for medical purposes.
Medicinal cayenne has three different strengths. They are 40 HU, 90 HU, and 180 HU. "HU" stands for Heat Unit. It is used internationally for more clarity. Cayenne is a stimulant that is used to stop bleeding, improve circulation and prevent shock. It can be used internally and externally. If taking it internally it is best to start withe the 40 HU and work up to the 180 HU.
Internally it can be taken as a teaspoon in an 8 oz glass of water or as capsules. If taken in capsules and after seven minutes a burning sensation comes, drink another galss of water to calm that down. This is an excellent way to improve the circulation and keep blood pressure levels where they should be. For shock, the quickest way to do this is have the cayenne tincture that was mentioned as part of the herbal first aid kit. Two dropperfuls under the tounge works well. That anount also helps slow internal bleeding.
Externally a powder is best. For a cut or other open wound that is bleeding cover the area with cayenne pepper. It will not burn at first, but once a burning feeling occurs than rinse of the powder and pat dry. The bleeding should have stopped and then the body can finish making a scab.
