Overview & ApplicationsCayenne pepper (Capsicum fruticosum), is a small tropical plant or shrub from which the fruit is used for culinary- and many medicinal purposes. It has been used for health benefits for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine. Taken orally, capsicum as support and a remedy increases peripheral circulation and improves digestion. Cultures that consume cayenne pepper regularly, have a lower incidence of stroke due to an increase in fibrinolytic activity (process that prevents blood clots from growing and becoming problematic). Capsaicin (phyto-chemical compound in Chili peppers) is present in large quantities in the seeds and fruits. The potent, hot fruit and seeds have been used as a Traditional Medicine for centuries. It is considered helpful by herbalists for conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as stomach aches, cramping pains, and gas. It is also frequently used to manage diseases of the circulatory system. Rubbed on the skin, as a cream; it is a traditional, as well as modern, remedy for rheumatic pains and arthritis due to what is termed a "counter-irritant effect" (a chemical that causes irritation to a tissue when applied, thus distracting from the original irritation). Used against psoriasis (virus disorder affecting the skin and joints; it commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin). Cayenne is also adequate against post-herpetic neuralgia caused by shingles (herpes zoster). )

Pharmacology )
The American Association for Cancer Research reports studies that suggest that Capsaicin may kill
prostate cancer cells by causing them to undergo apoptosis (a form of programmed cell death in multi-cellular
organisms). The studies showed tumors managed with capsaicin were about one-fifth the size of the untreated tumors.
A study by the University of Nottingham suggests capsaicin is also able to trigger apoptosis in human lung cancer
cells.Cayenne (Capsicum) is a general tonic, specific for the circulatory and digestive system. It regulates blood flow and strengthens the heart, arteries, capillaries and nerves. It improves arterial blood supply to the tissues and toxin removal. It is a strong circulatory stimulant; it seems to reinforce the action of certain prostaglandins, thereby increasing the flow of blood through all tissues of the body. Capsaicin is known to mimic the effect of some of the prostaglandins. It desensitizes the sensory nerve endings to pain stimulation. This is the basis for its use as a local analgesic, and recent research suggests that cayenne can ease the severe pain of shingles and migraine. The addition of Capsicum to other herbs and/or drugs makes these quickly reach all tissues, even where there is a poor circulation. Helps to halt the spread of prostate cancer; a study at the Los Angeles School of Medicine revealed that capsaicin has the power to slow the growth of prostate cancer cells and even destroy these. Cayenne has pain-relieving properties such as low back pain, pain caused by damaged nerves in the feet or legs due to diabetes (peripheral neuropathy), osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis, pain from fibromyalgia, pain after surgery and mastectomy, and nerve pain from shingles. Dosage Tincture: 5 -30 drops (1/6 - 1 ml) with water, 1 - 2 times daily; it is advisable to take with some food. Infusion (herbal tea): 2 - 3 times daily. Start with the smallest amount powder possible and then add more if you can tolerate the heat. Tincture 1:1: 2 drops each time. An infusion can be made by pouring a cup (250 ml) of hot water onto ½ - 1 teaspoon of Cayenne powder. Steep for 15 minutes. Take 1 - 2 times daily. Drug interactions Aspirin may interact with Cayenne. Cayenne may also increase the absorption of other medications. It should not be used if people are taking ACE inhibitors or antacids. Use with caution in ulcers and chronic bowel irritation. Might increase bleeding during-and after surgery. Using capsicum along with cocaine might increase the side effects of cocaine. Reference 1.
