What common spice has the power to relieve pain (arthritis and other), reverse diabetes, normalize high blood pressure, end heart disease, and do just about everything else a body needs?
It’s hard to believe that a common food seasoning can do so much but it can- and has been doing it for thousands of years.
Even researchers in the scientific community agree that including this one single spice can cure a litany of health problems, and even keep attackers away.
For millennia, cayenne pepper has been the go-to cure for almost every health problem there is. It is even used as the main ingredient in the spray that repels combatants or attackers. It is powerful, but completely natural.
The active ingredient, capsaicin, has been used for many hundreds of years across thousands of cultures to cure everything from pain to heart problems.
But what makes it work?
For blood pressure, capsaicin works by affecting the receptors that govern neural-hormonal systems. By making the receptors more sensitive, the body doesn’t have to work as hard to produce the hormones needed to soften the arterial walls.
[adrotate group=”5″]However, because of its effectiveness, you should talk to your doctor before you start on a capsaicin regimen. It is available at most health food stores but people can get into complications with traditional drugs by supplementing without their doctor’s oversight. So just make sure you have his or her blessing to try it.
Because of its influence on veins and arteries, it has actually been attributed to being able to stop a heart attack in mere seconds.
But it also can stop pain, which is critical for people who have conditions that make it impossible to take pills.
The oily structure of cayenne pepper makes it highly permeable through the skin, and the pepper’s compounds have been proven to dull angry nerve endings. This is why people who suffer from arthritis love it as an alternative to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These drugs can cause a host of side effects, including ulcers or other bleeding disorders.
Cayenne pepper doesn’t affect the body in this way, and can be used as a topical treatment. This makes it a safer choice for many with chronic pain disorders like arthritis.
The pepper even has positive effects in the digestive tract, helping to rid the body of dangerous, cholesterol-filled fats that would find their way into arteries. It has also been shown to aid in peristalsis, which is the concentric squeezing of muscles that moves food through the digestive tract.
Improving metabolism and circulation helps keep the diabetes gremlin out of the picture as well.
While there isn’t a generally recognized serving size, most charts will reference the nutritive benefits based upon a 2-teaspoon serving. However, if you are like many people who are not accustomed to eating or ingesting this pepper, 2 teaspoons can pack a real whollop.
Work your way into using it slowly by using no more than a tiny pinch in your soups, stews, egg dishes, etc. Gradually increase the amounts as your body (and taste buds) acclimate to the increasing serving size. Cayenne pepper can be really hot!

I hate what is biting but I will give this a good try…
I use cayenne pepper all the time in my food as well as cinnamon spice. Both spices are very helpful indeed with cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension. I have cinnamon in my oats/porridge for breakfast every morning. I also add it to my coffee in the morning and into my cocoa at night without sugar. I have no problems with arthritis, no diabetes, no cholesterol and moderate hypertension. I am 75 years old and very grateful for my good health.
I usually try to stay away from pepper but it sounds like this is a mistake. Will be more deliberate in adding this spice to my meals now. Might even look at the supplement form.
Capsaicin is the miracle food 🙂 It clears airways, nullifies the negative effects of dairy , drastically improves metabolism and digestion, kills pain (especially effective for osteoporosis and arthritis). About the heart, it will effectively improve circulation and slow down and normalize your heart rate, blockages – even emotionally – will be lifted and things will be put in a better perspective mentally. It increases focus and concentration by 10%. Also, it's definitely an aphrodisiac. Medicinally it is one of the few medicines that will first raise and then lower bloodpressure. This physical movement is incredibly healthy for our bodies; other examples of this physical movement in the body include aerobic exercise (the heart rate and blood pressure is raised higher and higher until one exhausts and then 'cools' down as the blood pressure and heart rate drop again. Also isometric exercise where one squeezes/ contracts muscles while breathing in and relaxes and lets go muscles while breathing out is an example of this movement. Medicinally the medicine named 'Kambo' is a much more serious version of capsaicin which also works on the basis of the heating up and cooling down principle. You think this is a long post? There's a guy – who's completely sane – who wrote more then 30 books about peppers, get exited! 😀
Can it also benefit people with Gastro Influx (GERD)? or it will be a disaster for their stomach?
Thank you Doctor.Sounds very helpful though it’s really gonna be HOT!! But I am going to gradually adapt this spice in my dishes as it can relieve one of many ailments. Thank you again.
What is its’ effect on intestine villi? It sounds like it undoes the effect of gluten and casein.
Thanks again Christian. Am going to use more cinnamon Frances.
Lately been taking apple-cider-vinegar couple times a day. BP has been lower but difficult to know if one thing is doing it isn’t it. there are many testimonies re a-c-vinegar.
I’ve always been a hyper-active guy and it helped to become ‘the tortoise in the race with the hare’. I started winning. and I believe slow-down exercises
have helped, at least in preventing the BP from going higher.
get the best "capsicum" @ http://www.herbs4you.mynsp.com.
test for quality, potency and efficacy.
I use it in place of pepper – I much prefer the taste. I also have a shake of it in my hot chocolate in the morning.
Thanks for this. What should be the strength of Cayenne pepper in terms of heat power? Can we take the Cayenne tablets?
Well, I have benefitted from a lifetime of use of fresh hot peppers of the ahbanero variety ie very hot, used in most savory dishes.BP is good. Most times, I sweat when I use it.
One acquires a tolerance for the heat on the tongue as well as when it says good bye.
I have taken capsaicin capsules in the past, but never saw any recognisable improvement.
It’s a bit like what my doctor told me. These alternative medications/remedies can and do work, but they are so light compared to pharmaceutical drugs there’s no comparison.
Why do we want to spend $$$ on light remedies? Alternative therapies can be very costly and have only modest results.
Better is to eat well by buying in fresh food, cooking it at home and avoiding processed stuff with its loads of soy and sugars. If you want to ingest capsaicin, cook with chillies as is done in Asia.
I cannot tolerate hot peppers at all and have had to give up salsa and other things which contain jalopenas. Does one get the same benefit from green, yellow and red sweet peppers?
When my chest gets tight with congestion, 1 Cup of hot chicken broth with 1 tsp. of cayenne pepper opens it right up and starts me coughing and bringing up all the gunk in my lungs.
Also, my Dr. recommends hot chicken broth for coughs, colds and flu.
I love eating hot pepper, but I never eat cayenne pepper, I do have diabetes, and high blood preasure, I would be very greatful if I get a remedy for them, so I will try and find some cayenne pepper
capsaicin is not pepper
How effective is the powder 2305 oak
I love all type of pepper especially cayenne even as a toddler. Now due the nature of my eating 80% raw based on my blood type it is stating cayenne is not good do to the lack on digestive juices in my stomach that is why I should only eat turkey, chicken, and hen. I have decided those will be my 20% but I prefer fish instead. What is a woman to do, sometimes cayenne burns my belly but that is okay with me because I know it heals any parasites or problems. So I will go fish and live as I go, since the only validation I need or that matters is my own.
is there any one who really get benefit from high BP by eating hot pepper and cinamon in food. Please do comment.
I'll start having it today!
can one put cayenne pepper in a capsule and swallow it whole as my tongue does not like hot peppers.
I cannot tolerate the taste of cayenne pepper so I fill size 00 capsules and then take 4/5 capsules a day. They need washing down with a glass of water and it is a good idea to eat something after you take the capsules to stop the taste coming back up your gullet.
A small size 00 capsule machine and quantity of 00 capusles cost me about £25.00 GBP.
Have been using C, pepper and cinnamon for a long time. Do not use any medication and am in my seventies, fit and well.
Read this my friends.
I will definitely be using more of this spice. I love spicy food, but I thought it wasn’t healthy so I tried to stay away from it.
Thanks for sharing this great information!
I will give it a try.
Everything you said about Pepper is correct. I am from Afrika and Professor in USA. From childhood we were taught to eat pepper as our WAY of life which we use in all our soups and stews and because of that , at age 64, I have never been sick, never been hospitalized, not on any drugs, I eat only AfrikaFood with hot peppered soups and stews DAILY and I feel clean inside out and light inside all the time .
Thi is correct but while using pepper see that the seeds are crushed to the dust level
I have used cayenne pepper to cure ulsers for years. I have friends who have used it successfully for the same thing. I friend had bleeding ulcers and hadn’t slept for two weeks until he followed my instructions using cayenne pepper. It worked like a charm and let him get a good night’s sleep.
I have been greatly schooled. It has never crossed my mind that pepper could be so medicinal. Let's give it a try!
“One Spice Lowers Blood Pressure and Cures Everything” – please stop using such hyperbolic language in your titles. In this case referring to one spice as “curing everything,’ which it does not Whenever one reads “cures everything” in an article’s title, it wholly invalidates its contents and is used as a “grabber” to get you to read the article.
Years ago I had a recurring, extremely painful sore between my gum and cheek. During a visit to a health food store, Eric, the counter person asked about my puffy face. After telling, he opened a capsule, put it on a dish told me to wet my finger and put it on the sore.
It was cayenne pepper powder – placed in an open sore. Wasn't expecting that !
After the burn went away, I dried my tears 🙂 and Eric explained that cayenne is hot, but it's a healing heat. And he was right – never got that sore again. That sold me on lots of natural treatments, among them capsaicin.
I use cayenne in lots of different dishes. Love the stuff!
