Cayenne, also known as Capsicum, is one of the most important herbs for health and wellness I know of. It should be on the “must have” list of anyone who uses herbs for remedies or general health.

You’ll often find Cayenne combined with other herbs, because it acts as a catalyst, which stimulates your body to heal faster. Stimulation is a key factor in healing your body, and if Cayenne is taken regularly it can reach every part of your body: Helping with healing, cleansing, and having everything begin to function normally.

Cayenne is very high in Vitamin C, and that makes it a great choice for taking when you feel a cold coming on. I tend to mix it with an herbal antibiotic when treating the flu or infections, because it helps resolve the problems much more quickly.

Cayenne is also a wonderful herbal choice for improving circulation. The entire circulatory system in fact, is helped with this herb because it feeds the cell stucture of arteries, veins, and capillaries, and this in turn helps them to regain elasticity.

In addition, Cayenne helps regulate the flow of blood, and normalize blood pressure. The blood pressure regulation makes it an excellent herbal choice for either high or low blood pressure problems. Taking Cayenne will not increase your heart rate, but it will strengthen your pulse within minutes of taking it.

Cayenne has actually been used to treat shock victims, or prevent people from going into shock. And it stops bleeding. The powder can actually be taken for internal bleeding, or poured on an external wound to stop bleeding too.

I’ve used Cayenne for several of the above noted purposes in the last 20 years. I’ve found for instance, that as I get older I tend to have problems with my arms and hands “going to sleep” – particularly at night because I have a habit of laying on them while sleeping.

Simply by taking a Cayenne pill before bed, my circulation is improved immensely and I don’t have the problems in my arms and hands all night long.

I’ve also used Cayenne to stop bleeding many times over the years. When you have kids at home you know there’s almost always an accident of some kind right around the corner. It’s a very simply process though, to just sprinkle Cayenne on a bleeding wound to make it stop. I’ve never tried it with any large, massive sized wounds – I’d rush to the hospital for something like that – but I have successfully used Cayenne to stop all kinds of bleeding. It’s particularly helpful when nothing else seems to work.

Putting Cayenne on a wound will feel warm, but it won’t create any burns or blisters and doesn’t generally cause additional pain. Treating wounds this way also helps stimulate healing as well as stopping the bleeding too.

Chlorophyll is sometimes referred to as Nature’s Green Magic. It’s also known as the blood of plant life, because it is the life force of plants. Chlorophyll contains many nutrients which are assimulated by the human body easily. In fact, the molecular structure of Chlorophyll is quite similar to the molecular structure of human hemoglobin – our red blood cells.

Chlorophyll has an extremely long list of uses. It can be used for simple nutrition and digestion, to cleanse and heal, to purify the body’s organs, and to create healthy intestines.

Here are a few examples of Chlorophyll’s power…

– It helps control and regulate calcium levels in the body. This is particularly useful for menstruating women, because up to 40% more calcium is present in menstrual blood, and you could become calcium deficient very quickly during your period.

– Chlorophyll helps with blood sugar problems, regulating blood sugar levels in your body which is good for general health and wellness, and could help with weight loss initiatives.

– Chlorophyll increases iron levels in your blood, which is especially useful for pregnant or nursing women.

– Excellent as a general cleanser or for use in a cleansing diet. The Chlorophyll fluids are said to clean cell stuctures and help build new cell life.

– Bacterias that cause diseases find it hard to live in the presence of Chlorophyll, so growth and development of toxic bacterias can be inhibited or stopped.

– Chlorophyll counteracts toxins and inhibits the actions of cancer causing elements.

– It helps purify the liver to get rid of toxic deposits built up from drug usage, chemicals in foods, artificial flavorings and other potentially harmful things from our daily lives that get stored there.

– It accellerates tissue and cell growth or re-growth activity which helps the body heal faster.

– It helps get your bowels moving, and acts as a detergent and deoderizer for your intestines, bowel and body.

– It helps kill toxic and disease causing bacteria in your colon, helps rebuild damaged bowel tissue and helps eliminate mucus from the bowel too.

– It helps reduce and eliminate bad breath.

Again this is just a small sampling of all the wonderful qualities and health benefits this herb provides.

I’ve personally used Chlorophyll for years as a general daily vitamin. I first began taking it during menstruation only, because it’s so high in calcium and I sometimes became anemic during that time.

I’ve also used it over the years for constipation relief. Taking one gel capsule with the powdered herb inside tends to resolve the constipation problems within just a few hours.

And when dieting – particularly with a very low carb diet – Chlorophyll works wonderfully for getting rid of bad breath and body odors.
