NATURAL MEDICINE MONDAY
Cayenne pepper has many health benefits and is rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Its active compound, capsaicin, and source of its signature heat, acts as a natural pain reliever and may support heart health by helping lower high blood pressure and reducing the risk of blood clots. Cayenne can also help soothe digestive discomfort, ease sore throat or cough, and break up congestion and mucus.
As a natural detoxifier, cayenne gently increases body heat, promotes sweating, and can support weight management by boosting metabolism.
As always, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using cayenne supplements, as they may interact with certain medications.
