Cayenne pepper has been prized for thousands of years for its healing power.
It is totally shocking to realize that most doctors, paramedics, and military medics in the field do not commonly know this very simple piece of technology.
During the civil war, where shrapnel injuries were great, a tremendous amount of amputations were performed. The not so bright doctors used a hot iron to cauterize the amputated limb and some 35+% of the victims either died or got severe infections and complications. The smart doctors had a bowl of red-hot cayenne pepper powder, which they simply slapped on the amputated limb for 60 seconds and even with such a severe injury, cauterization occurred.
Today, most good herbalists know that the uses of cayenne is extremely broad with many purposes other than stopping bleeding. One of the very best, but a difficult book to get is called A Layman’s Guide: Curing With Cayenne and it’s Herbal Partners by Sam Biser.
Another good book, which is out of print, however, you might be lucky enough to find a used copy.
If you’ve cut yourself, one of the best remedies for cuts is believe it or not: Cayenne Pepper! Cayenne can be applied to open wounds or even taken orally to stop bleeding.
Nosebleeds, deep cuts, even arterial gushing will stop within seconds. Cayenne pepper allows cuts to clot quickly so you can keep all your blood inside your body, where it belongs.
How to Stop Bleeding in 10 Seconds with Cayenne Pepper:
Just sprinkle organic cayenne powder on cuts, scrapes and abrasions to stop bleeding. Contrary to what you might think, it does not burn.
A poultice of Cayenne wrapped around a wound will ensure safe healing and will often not even leave a scar!
You can also stop internal wounds from bleeding by drinking a cup of hot water with a teaspoon of cayenne stirred into it.
Here’s a quote from the late Herbalist Dr. John Christopher’s book, School of Natural Healing:
“take a teaspoonful of cayenne in a glass of extra-warm water, drink it down, and by the count of ten, the bleeding will stop. Instead of all the pressure being centralized, it is equalized, and the clotting becomes more rapid. Whether the bleeding is internal or external, a teaspoon of cayenne taken orally in a glass of hot water will stop the bleeding quickly.”
Other Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper:-
The Health Benefits of Cayenne. The Amazing Spice and It’s Curative Power in Colds, Circulatory and Digestive Problems, Respiratory Ills, Infections and More.
Cayenne is rich in capsaicin. The pepper also contains vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin E, potassium, manganese, and flavonoids (which give the chili its antioxidant properties).
*Pain and Inflammation
Cayenne is great at relieving pain from inflammation. It works by depleting a neurotransmitter called Substance P, thus desensitizing nerves that signal pain. It is good on sore muscles, backaches, stiff neck and other pains.
*Beneficial for Blood Clots
Cayenne pepper also helps reduce atherosclerosis, encourages fibrinolytic activity and prevents factors that lead to the formation of blood clots, all of which can help reduce the chances of a heart attack or stroke.
*Helps Cure Ulcers
Cayenne pepper also helps in treating ulcers by peristaltic movement of intestine. Cayenne pepper is also great for the stomach and the intestinal tract. It stimulates the peristaltic motion of the intestines and aids in assimilation and elimination.
In my First aid kit, I carry two types of cayenne pepper.
1. Extra hot cayenne pepper powder.
I buy the East Indian Extra hot cayenne pepper, but I will also carry regular extra hot cayenne pepper as well.
2. Cayenne pepper tincture, (cayenne pepper soaked in alcohol, usually Vodka or Everclear).
This is best used for increasing blood flow for fainting spells, heart attacks, strokes, and adding to other herbs.
