Cayenne pepper has so many amazing health benefits, I try to incorporate it into as many recipes as possible. It also works as an energizing herb in herbal tonics..similar to a battery...it sparks the synergistic action of other herbs it is combined with. It is very warming to the entire body so will increase circulation and metabolism - making it helpful when wanting to shed excess body fat as it improves cardiovascular performance. Cayenne's warming ability makes it a very beneficial herb to incorporate into a detox program; it burns off mucus and helps expel toxins from the body. It is also wonderful to consume when fighting off a cold, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia..etc. as it can help induce a fever and sweating to help the body kill off viral or bacterial invaders and heal faster. It is great for pain relief in the back and joints and can be applied topically within an ointment. Dr. Sebi the world renowned herbalist/naturopath who taught Dr. Razor and who designed the 'Mucusless Diet', promoted the use of cayenne and discussed its benefits in all his books. He recommended 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper 3 times per day in water...starting in the morning. He said to begin with 1/4 teaspoon and work up to 1 teaspoon 3 times per day. He also recommended apple cider vinegar and raw honey in 8 oz of water 3 times per day along with kelp, molasses and wheat germ oil. The cayenne pepper along with these revitalizing healing aids, (and avoiding toxic mucus forming foods such as dairy, sugar, fast food, fried foods..etc.,) help build up strength in the body while they start cutting the mucus out of the tissues and eliminating the catarrh from the system. Each day the body will become stronger, the cells cleaner and better able to function while overall health is improved.
