CAYENNE PEPPER

I've decided that I'm going to write out the Complete Handbook of Cayenne Home Remedies...right here, right now. 

PLEURISY. This condition involves the inflammation of the lining of the lungs. Cayenne is a stimulant and a vasodilator that may help this condition. DO not inhale cayenne powder, but rather take 2 capsules of cayenne powder (40,000 heat units or higher) with lunch and dinner.  
You can also use a time-tested herbalist's favorite rub for speeding the relief of pleurisy. Be sure to wash your hands afterwards. 

NEURALGIA. This is a pain of a severe throbbing or stabbing nature and can be found anywhere in the body. For relief, see the section "Pain". 

HEAT EXHAUSTION. Not to be confused with heat stroke, which can be a fatal condition involving excess exposure to heat, with symptoms of headache, confusion, elevated skin temperature, and eventually COMA and DEATH. For heat stroke, get medical help immediately. For heat exhaustion, which is characterized by weakness and general dehydration, cayenne, water, and electrolytes can help.  
For 9000 years natives in warm climates noticed that chilis make the "dog days" of summer a little bit more bearable. The reason: capsaicin causes peripheral vasodilation, or expansion of the blood vessels in the skin region. Eat a hot pepper like cayenne makes the world around you seem a whole lot COOLER.  

FROSTBITE. See "warming effect" below. 

GAS. Reduce it by eating cayenne. 

PAIN. See "Neuralgia". 

SORE THROAT. Mix 1-2 capsules of cayenne powder in 1 cup of warm water. Swish in your mouth and gargle, but DO NOT swallow. If this preparation is too hot to tolerate, then cut the cayenne in half and try again. 

....the COMPLETE HANDBOOK is too fleeping long, so I just picked my favorites.  

CAYENNE also cures HEADACHE, FATIGUE, DEPRESSION, FATTY LIVERS, HEART DISEASE, ANOREXIA, ASTHMA and a boatload of other things.  THE MIRACLE PEPPER also soothes and heals BRUISES & SPRAINS and PREVENTS CANCER.  

EAT CAYENNE PEPPERS.
