Cayenne Pepper General Information
Cayenne Pepper, which is actually a berry, is also known as Capsicum, and Hot or Red Pepper. It is used as a spice and a dietary supplement. The name Cayenne is derived from a Tupi word, “kyinha.” The Cayenne plant produces long red peppers and grows to a height of 2-6 ft. The plant is native to tropical areas of America and is cultivated throughout the world in tropic and sub tropic climate zones. Most of the United States’ Cayenne supply is imported from India and Africa. Cayenne was originally grown in Central and South America in pre-Columbian times. It was cultivated in Mexico 7,000 years ago and in Peru 4,000 years ago. Native Americans have used Cayenne as a food and as a medicine for stomachaches, cramping pains, gas, and disorders of the circulatory system for 9,000 years. Christopher Columbus brought Cayenne to Europe in the fifteenth century. Starting in Europe, Cayenne was transported to tropical regions around the world, where it is now grown.

Cayenne Pepper Uses & Scientific Evidence For
Cayenne Pepper contains beta-carotene; beta-ionone, citric acid, hesperidin, imonen, lutein, and quercetin just to name a few. It also contains capsaicin, which reduces pain and inflammation. When combined with other herbs, Cayenne Pepper helps increase their effectiveness by helping them enter the blood stream faster. Capsaicin can also stimulate and then desensitize the warmth detectors in the hypothalamus gland so that a drop in body temperature is evident. This enables natives in hot southern climates like Central and South America and Africa, to tolerate the heat a lot better than we would.
Cayenne Pepper has been known for its ability to aid in digestion, improve circulation, and reduce or stop bleeding from stomach ulcers. Taken internally it stimulates circulation and induces sweating to breed a fever. Some native people of Thailand believe that eating Cayenne everyday helps reduce blood cots. Herbalists recommend it to treat colds and infectious diarrhea, arthritis and rheumatism. There is scientific evidence that suggests adding Cayenne Pepper to meals boosts vitamin C levels and revs up the metabolism. This pepper is also used with lobelia to help soothe nerves. It is beneficial for the heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, spleen, and stomach. In naturopathic medicine, Cayenne Pepper is combined with lemon juice, and salt to relieve even the worst sore throat pain for up to 4 hours. It also fights viral infection. When applied topically in a lotion or salve Cayenne works to soothe muscle aches and pains associated with arthritis, rheumatism, backache, strains and sprains.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)has approved Capsaicin for pain caused by shingles, an adult disease that is caused by the virus that causes chicken pox in children. Such over-the-counter (OTC) creams as Zostrix or Heet contain capsaicin and are applied externally to treat rheumatic and arthritic pains, cluster headaches, diabetic foot pain, fibromyalgia, and post-herpetic nerve pain. These creams usually contain 0.025–0.075% capsaicin. In 2002 there was some research done that helped to determine Capsaicin’s pain relieving effects. Creams that contain the compound lowered pain in arthritis sufferers’ hands by 40% when used four times a day. A study done for pain from long-term shingles found that 77% of the people had reduced pain after using the cream for four months. The study also said that Capsaicin containing ream is less expensive and safer than other painkillers used for the same conditions.

Cayenne Pepper Dosage Information
Cayenne Pepper comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. For taking capsules, the recommended daily dose is 1 capsule 2 to 3 times a day. Adults and children two and above can safely use it topically 3 to 4 times a day. For treating a sore throat, combine the juice of one-half lemon or lime with one full tablespoon of salt. Stir both into one-half cup of lukewarm distilled water. Stir in one-quarter teaspoon of Cayenne pepper. Gargle as needed, but do not swallow.

Cayenne Pepper Safety & Interaction Information
Cayenne Pepper is generally regarded as safe; however, it is hot. Avoid contact with eyes. If you do get it in your eye, rinse with cold water for relief. Burning can occur when applying topically but usually disappears within a few days. It is important to wash your hands with soap and water after applying. Do not apply on broken skin or pre-existing rashes and do not use in conjunction with a heating pad. Do not take if you are hypoglycemic.
