The Many Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne is an amazing spice! Here are just some of the ways it enhances our health:

Prevents blood clots by reducing platelet aggregation.
Aids digestion.
Decreases appetite, raises body temperature, and speeds metabolism.
Helps prevent and heal ulcers.
Treats psoriasis.
Decreases inflammation.
Lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Helps stop the spread of prostate cancer
Reduces pain in the treatment of arthritis, headache, fibromyalgia, amputation, neuropathy, and shingles.
Decreases cravings for alcohol and promotes detoxification in addiction recovery.

If you use the culinary spice rather than a supplement form, make sure it is organic. Many commercial spices are irradiated which decreases their nutrient value and increases free radical activity.
