Cayenne Pepper
Historical Use: Cayenne was introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus.
Medicinal Use: Cayenne treats a variety of ailments. The fruit contains the active ingredient capsaicin, a powerful stimulant having a soothing effect on the stomach and mucous membranes. Taken internally, it tonifies the stomach, intestines, and other internal organs and treats constipation; it stimulates the production of saliva and gastric juices and aids digestion. Prepared as a poultice, it treats chest and lung congestion, general lethargy and painful joints.

The capsaicin in the cayenne stimulates endorphins in the brain–these make you feel GOOD. This is why chili-heads are addicted!!
