Many people are familiar with cayenne pepper as a popular spice in cooking. It has long added heat to popular dishes in many cultures. But few people know that cayenne has also been used medicinally for thousands of years. Cayenne was originally cultivated in South and Central America. Christopher Columbus took it to Europe in the 15th century and it spread around the rest of the world from there.
The main health properties in cayenne come from a chemical called capsaicin. This is the chemical that gives pepper its heat. Capsaicin acts to relieve pain and reduce platelet thickness. Cayenne also contains Vitamins C and E and carotenoids.
Today cayenne is used worldwide to aid digestion, chronic pain, heart disease, sore throat, headaches, high cholesterol levels, and poor circulation.
