Health practitioners consider cayenne one of the most important herbs and a wonderful healer. Prized for thousand of years for its healing powers, recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of these old-time health applications and have validated cayenne’s medical value. Herbalists use it as a catalyst in many herbal combinations, thus aiding the absorption and effectiveness of the other herbs in the combination.
