(This is the herb that launched Nature's Sunshine Products in America in 1972)

Capsicum (cayenne) grows as an annual and was used regularly as a condiment by the South Americans to add flavour, and help with digestion, and therefore, flatulence.

It is often referred to as “Queen of the herbs”.

It is a very heating herb and needs to be taken with food to disperse the heat throughout the Alimentary canal, otherwise it can cause a burning sensation at stool.

Capsaicum is the compound within capsicum that produces the heat.

This herb is very warming in general and provides nutritional support for the circulation.

It is added to many combination herbs for this reason and also to act as a catalyst for other herbs in the product, helping them to perform better, and to target certain areas in the body.

Capsicum is also used externally as a poultice to assist with pain levels in joints.

I have also used it (in a very, very weak liquid from a home made tincture), in inflamed eyes from an allergic reaction. It clears the flood of pink in the eyes and relieves the pain and inflammation.

Common names

Capsaicin, Capsicum, Cayenne, Chili Pepper.
