Cayenne pepper is a very powerful, versatile healer that is not just for flavoring food. Cayenne aids in digestion, improves circulation, and stops bleeding from ulcers. It’s good for the heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas, spleen and stomach. In addition to being helpful for arthritis and rheumatism, cayenne helps to ward off colds, sinus infections and sore throats. It can also be applied topically.
