Cayenne pepper really is a great spice for healing inside and out. My mother has severe arthritis in both her knees and I made her sachets for the shower that contained cayenne and other helpful spices. She used them and they really helped. Of course, she's had both knees replaces since then, but they did work.

cayenne pepper kills cancer in the prostrate;lung and brain.

Dear Karen,

Although it is great to hear that Gregg has had such amazing results, I would caution not to rely solely on cayenne when dealing with such a severe and complex condition as cancer. That being said, cayenne is a very efficient de-toxifier. It is also excellent for improving circulation. These 2 actions are why cayenne can be helpful for circles under the eyes. You can use it internally for this. Many people apply cayenne topically also, however as this is near your eyes, please be very careful if you decide to do this. Use it sparingly. You may also consider something as simple as Witch Hazel applications under the eyes as this is a natural astringent.

In Good Health,

Meredith

I have been doing research on the benefits of cayenne pepper all day and I'm convinced I have to try it. Do I just go to the supermarket and buy actual cayenne pepper from the spice aisle?? Or is this something I should get at a GNC-type store??

I haven't read how you take the pepper and in what quantities?

Very nice blog/website with great info.
I'm 53 years young,very active and I'm a big guy at 6ft. 6 ins. and 250 lbs.
As an athlete all my life playing sports like hockey for 40 years ,basketball for 17 years, ball hockey (I know I'm Canadian eh so lots of hockey stuff), for 20 years.football for 10 years,15 years of tennis......those are sports that grind us down.
My point of telling that is only the last 5-10 years have I found how incredibly well foods like cayenne pepper,curcumin, ginger, and good oils all of which I supplement with daily for 2 years now actually are anti inflammatory big time.
I spent years buying different combinations of products that were over priced and did not work.
Only when I stared on these natural foods that I had total relief.
I've refused to get pharmaceuticals a try since I give little stock in that.

I've had this cold now for about 2 months and cannot shake it. For about the last 1-1/2 weeks i have been non stop 24/7 coughing, so bad i've almost lost my voice. A freind told me about cayenne pepper and that i should give it a try. So i went to the health food store and bought just a little bit (1/4 lb) just to try it. For my first time trying it, i was told to do about a 1/4 t spoon mixed with a little water to fill t spoon. As soon as i did it i felt it working immediately, i did this 2 more times throughout the day and by evening time my cough was about 90% gone. Today (day 2) i increased the dose to about 1/2 t spoon and i allready fill 100% better in just 2 days. Whats more exciting about this is i've done some reading about all the benefits of cayenne pepper, it's unbelievable what this pepper can do. I am definatly spreading the word to family and freinds, i think everyone should know about these benefits of life.

how did he used it, mix w/water or sprinkle on foods. thanks.
