Herb

Cayenne

Parts Used: Fruit

Collection: The fruit should be harvested when fully ripe and dried in the shade. 

Cayenne is the most useful of the systemic stimulants. It regulates the blood flow, equalizing and strengthening the heart, arteries, capillaries, and nerves. It is a general tonic and is specific for the circulatory and digestive system. It may be used in flatulent dyspepsia and colic. If there is insufficient peripheral circulation, leading to cold hands and feet and possibly chilblains, Cayenne may be used. It is used for treating debility and for warding off colds. Externally, it is used as a rubefacient in problems like lumbago and rheumatic pains. As an ointment, it helps unbroken chilblains, as long as it is used in moderation! As a gargle in laryngitis, it combines well with Myrrh. This combination is also a good antiseptic wash. 

Infusion: Pour a cup of boiling water onto 1/2 -1 teaspoonful of Cayenne and leave to infuse for 10 minutes. A tablespoon of this infusion should be mixed with hot water and drunk when needed.
