Roots of Healthy Living

One of the first things I learned when I began to study natural healing is the wonderful power of cayenne. Cayenne is one of my favorite medicinal herbs and one I would never be without. I carry a tincture in my purse as well as an ointment and have a large supply in my kitchen cupboard.

My first experience with cayenne was last spring when I sliced through my thumb with a kitchen knife. I had heard that cayenne could stop bleeding in seconds so I decided to give it a try. I put a tsp in a glass of water and drank it down. I counted to ten and watched the bleeding slow down and stop. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! It worked! I have used it many times since and it has never failed.

Cayenne is fabulous heart tonic and has the ability to equalize blood pressure instantly. Dr. Christopher (Founder of the School of Natural Healing) swares he never lost a patient to a heart attack. He has said that even adminstering cayenne even in the middle of a heart attack can stop it instantly.

Cayenne has also been known to pull someone out of shock and or hypothermia. This is one reason I carry a tincture of cayenne in my purse. I carry ointment because of the heat. Cayenne can pull oxygen to the area of injury facilitating faster healing.

It has been known to cure stomach ulcers, help with high blood pressure, and used in combination with other herbs help increase their overall effectiveness.
