Cayenne
Proclaimed as one of
the most useful remedies in the history of herbal medicine. This herb
dates beyond biblical records and has been used in every major
civilization. It is one of the strongest stimulants known, but can be
used internally as a relaxant and a healer of ulcerous conditions in
the
digestive system. Because of it's high mineral content of sulpher,
phosphorous, magnesium, iron and calcium, it is also used for:
diabetes, gas, heart, pancreas, throat disorders, arthritis, bleeding,
coughs, etc.
Many herbalists
believe that Cayenne is the most useful and
valuable herb in the herb kingdom, not only for the entire digestive
system,
but also for the heart and circulatory system. It acts as a catalyst
and
increases the effectiveness of other herbs when used with them.
