Medicinal uses of Cayenne red Pepper

Posted by Aldie at 2:04 AM | 0 comments

Cayenne red pepper is used all over the world in cooking. Cayenne is very hot so should not be given to children under the age of two.
It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine, and has warming and mucus-relieving qualities.

The fruits, or hot peppers, commonly known as chillis, contain capsaicin, a stimulant that helps control pain and dissolve blood clots. Chillis can stimulate the appetite and digestion, release phlegm and increase sweating thus helping to boost the immune system.
In moderation, powdered chillis can help heal stomach and duodenal ulcers, promoting tissue growth through the release of histamine.

Cayenne pepper is also effective in the treatment of arthritis, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney infections and respiratory problems.

Natural therapy for head pain and migraine.

Posted by Aldie at 12:25 AM | 0 comments

Migraine symptoms can come and go and may last for several hours.
What is migraine?. It is a severe and often disabling pain in the head, usually on one side only. Sometimes it is accompanied by alarming symptoms such as altered perception, a feeling that the skull is in the grip of a tightening vice, pins and needles or numbness in the limbs, nausea, vomitting, and the inability to do anything.

Migraine sufferers should first seek advice from a medical practitioner, and then verify that their problem is not caused by a food allergy.
Beneficial foods include carrots, celery, beetroot, cucumber, spinach, and parsley. Supplements of vitamin c, and b, (especially b3 ) and the mineral magnesium are said to help prevent attacks. Royal jelly is also said to be effective.

You may like to use the herb Feverfew, which is available in capsule form from any good health food store. The herb can also alleviate depression and nervous disorders.
Guarana is a native vine of the Brazilian Amazon, and can be bought in tablet form. It is claimed to relieve headaches and migraine quickly. Guarana is also used as an appetite-suppressant and is claimed as a slimming product. It is also reputed to be an effective sexual stimulant.

Other natural help for migraine/head pain comes from homeopathy. The remedies Nat mur 6c taken hourly may help although it is best not to self-help, and as always with homeopathy the remedy may depend on circumstances and symptoms.
