Healing Benefits Of Cayenne Pepper

Monday, January 7th, 2008

cayenne pepper pictureNatural healer, Dr. Richard Schulze, is a strong advocate for the use of cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper is a spicy herb and is known for its pungent taste and smell. It is used widely in cooking in many regions. Cayenne is also often referred to as chili, which is the Aztec name for cayenne pepper.

The main medicinal benefits of cayenne come from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin is the ingredient which makes the peppers hot. A pepper’s capsaicin content ranges from 0-1.5%. Peppers are measured according to heat units. The degree of heat determines the peppers’ usage and value. Generally, the hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. Additionally, capsaicin acts to reduce platelet stickiness and relieve pain. Other constituents of cayenne are vitamins E, vitamin C and carotenoids.

Dr Robert Schulze recommends cayenne for treating a variety of health conditions, including poor circulation, weak digestion, heart disease, chronic pain, sore throats, headaches and toothache. He said “If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other.”

Cayenne is an important aide to blood circulation. Cayenne increases blood circulation immediately within seconds, more than any other herb. When there is a restriction in terms of blood flow, Dr Robert Schulze recommends that you use a tincture of cayenne pepper.

Lower Blood Pressure With Cucumber Juice

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Cucumber You can reduce blood pressure by drinking cucumber juice. The cucumber has more benefits than you ever did realise. Most of you probably just toss in a few slices of cucumber into your salad. Some beauty experts even suggest that you use cucumber to reduce puffiness around your eyes. Cucumber extracts are also used as an astringent for a face freshener. But few know that cucumber juice is excellent for reducing blood pressure.

This finding did not just come out from nowhere. The benefits of drinking cucumber juice in reducing blood pressure came from a research study done recently. It showed that foods high in potassium, magnesium and fiber can reduce blood pressure. In combination with a healthy diet these foods reduced study participants systolic blood pressure by 5 points and their diastolic blood pressure by 3.5 points. Well, cucumbers are not only high in these three nutrients; they’re also a significant source of Vitamins A and K, folate, caffeic acid, and silica. They also contain a significant amount of Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that may also help to lower blood pressure.

You should juice cucumber yourself. Juices made fresh is full of live and active enzymes. Cucumber is also great for juicing because its water content is high. It is preferable that you get organic cucumbers since you are going to consume them raw.

Of course, you can always mix cucumber with other fruits and vegetables to make a juice. Carrot and celery can both taste great when mixed with cucumber, plus they have great benefits of their own.

Other than being able to lower your blood pressure, cucumbers can improve your skin, help grow hair, nails, and teeth, and even clean out your kidney. Never think of cucumbers as just a salad ingredient anymore! There is more to cucumber in terms of health benefits.
