Cayenne has traditionally been used as an anti-inflammatory and to give relief to pain when applied topically to skin. It is used to help with relieving the chronic pain of arthritis whilst also soothing the intense pain of shingles.
Cayenne is also a traditional herbal preparation used to improve circulation, which in turn can aid in the treatment of heart disease and high cholesterol.
Due to Cayenne's antiseptic and antioxidant properties, it is also used to help treat digestion, sore throats, headaches and toothache.
