“ If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other.” Is a famous saying of the herbal healer Dr. Shulze.
But he is not the only herbalist that prized this herb. Dr. John Christopher was even nicknamed “Dr. Cayenne” because he claimed the healing properties of cayenne the substances in chili peppers that creates a sensation of heat. He strongly recommended it for the treatment of heart attacks and believed that it can save man`s live in 1 minute. What is more he also claimed that it can stop heart attacks in progress. He published many texts in which he explained his theory and the following is a citation of one of his texts:
“In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in–if they are still breathing–I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutes they are up and around).”
In the recent years this has been scientifically proven. In a study conducted at the University of Cincinnati (UC) the scientists revealed that capsaicin which is the main component of cayenne can stop a heart attack if it is applied topically.
Dr. Christopher explained how to use chili peppers as first aid for heart attack. He says that we should give the man who suffered heart attack a glass of water mixed with chili immediately after the stroke. And it is better if the person is conscious because we could just put some drops of hot peppers extract under his tongue and it will have immediate effect.
According to him this is the easiest way to save someone`s life in less than a minute.
Statistic shows that in cultures where the consumption of cayenne pepper is part of everyday life, people have less heart problems.
It can lower the level of cholesterol and triglyceride and at the same time dissolve excessive blood cloths in the circulatory system.
