Powdered Cayenne Pepper - Red Hot Item In Both Medicine And Kitchen Cabinets

When you think of a place at home where the powdered cayenne pepper is, you may immediately associate it with the kitchen or dining room instead of the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. This is understandably because this red hot powder is widely known and used to spice up food. However, in some societies, particularly among the Native Americans, powdered cayenne pepper is also used as their time-honored medicine treating for thousands of years such health problems as flatulence, stomach aches, cramping pains and circulatory system disorders.

Powdered cayenne pepper is a powder extract from cayenne pepper, more popularly known as red pepper or chili, a blood-red warming shrub that is grown in tropical and subtropical climates. This extremely red hot herb energizes and rejuvenates many systems in the body, including the circulatory and digestive systems.

Furthermore, powdered cayenne pepper is also known to be an effective pain reliever. Its most active component, capsaicin, exhausts substance P, the culprit for the pain we feel when our body is in some sort of problem. Substance P functions as a chemical receptor that sends back pain signals to the brain from the local nervous system. By depleting substance P, capsaicin in powdered cayenne pepper relieves pain since there is inadequate levels of substance P that will convey the message of pain to the brain. With this pain relieving property, this red chili pepper in the form of cream is also used to alleviate pain due to rheumatoid arthritis, muscle spasms, shingles, bursitis, diabetic neuropathy as well as phantom pain brought about by amputation. Besides relieving pain, capsaicin also improves circulation and has also been shown to mitigate psoriasis.

Cayenne may also be orally taken in the form of cayenne supplements and is used to soothe heartburn, headaches, indigestion and even for weight loss. Orally taking powdered cayenne pepper has also been done to assuage pain due to menstrual cramps, to address seasickness, loss of appetite, alcoholism and diarrhea. It may sound contrary due to its being a spice, but powdered cayenne pepper is also used to bring down body temperature by triggering the part of the brain associated with cooling the body. Paradoxically, powdered cayenne pepper is also used to treat cold extremities. It seems nature has a way of providing a plant that allows the body to resist heat for people in countries with hot climates as cayenne grows in tropical climate zones. This body heat regulating property made cayenne a widely-used folk remedy for fever, even for yellow and malarial fevers. 

Considered as an organic expectorant, capsaicin in powdered cayenne pepper helps to thin mucus, hence, allowing it to be easily expelled. It is deemed to be a remedy for cough and may be used as adjunctive treatment for pneumonia. Furthermore, there are ongoing studies probing into the ability of capsaicin to prevent cardiovascular diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, heart disease and stroke. Cayenne is thought to be effective in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides. 

From simple cough to the complicated cardiovascular disease, powdered cayenne pepper is shown to exert its therapeutic effects. This gives powdered cayenne pepper its rightful space not just in the kitchen cupboard, but as well as in the medicine cabinet and the first aid kit.
