Put a 1/4 teaspoon in your mouth, it will work in minutes.

As a person with POTS, Dysautonomia and more, thanks to Ehlers-Danlos, I use African bird pepper. It is the heat units we want. Having worked for Dr. Schulze at his American Botanical Pharmacy, he adds both cayenne and African bird pepper to all his products, which is why they are so darn strong. That heat makes all other herbs work better. Cayenne/African bird pepper of at least 160,000 heat units is excellent for ridding body of mucusand keeping blood thin. Grocery stores sell weak versions.

Prior to being diagnosed with much, I had the hot powder near my bed, just in case. It can give energy, so experiment before taking at bedtime.

To Ash from India, the buttermilk may be the culprit. If I eat too much fat or bread, even sweets, my heart can feel like it's going to beat out of my chest.

Dr. Schulze was a student of Dr. Christopher, so he carried on the cayenne and/or African bird pepper legacy. The latter is hotter.

Dr. Schulze sells both liquid and powder, both usually rated between 250,000 and 500,000 heat units. At least they were when I worked there. His products are pricey but well worth it.

African Bird pepper however beinga single ingredient can be bought from other reputable herb suppliers. I buy an organic pound at a time.

To all, if the heat doesn't work, diet will. I've learned much thanks to two birth defects.

I tried two teaspoons of powdered cayenne in a glass of buttermilk, once a day, for two months. It has not worked for me.

Greetings EC,

My Aunt is 85 weights about 102 pounds, and she is a smoker. She is a strong woman and as I have said before, she can tie her own shoes. The only medicine she is on is blood pressure medicine. When my aunt had a complaint of being dizzy, I took her pressure it was 154 over 93. Her heart rate was 144!

I had her to do the breathing exercises and gave her a magnesium supplement, which helped to lower her pressure and got her heart rate down to 100. However when she arose the next day we had to fight the same battle with heart rates of 138,119,133. Her heart rate would go down with the breathing exercises and slowing creep back up.

She woke up the third morning with a fast heart rate of 144 once again, however her blood pressure was 130/89. But I said this means war! I remembered that in 2020 we used to give her cayenne pepper capsules, this kept her normally high blood pressure on the low side. When she ran out we did not continue it. Someone needed to be there to monitor it. So remembering cayenne pepper, I got the hot sauce bottle out of the cabinet. I put about two tablespoons in a half cup of water with a spoon of molasses. She said this is bitter. So I added a half teaspoon of sugar and she drank the mixture down. Ten minutes later, I took her pressure again, it was 146/84 with a heart of 79. Seventy-nine what a big drop from 144.

Before the day was over her blood pressure went down to 120/66. We took her to the doctor the same day, they gave her an EKG. The doctor said her heart rate was good, but that he would order more test. A week later without giving her anymore cayenne pepper her heart rate was still in the safe zone below 100, her blood pressure has remained good so far as well. So a now and then dose of Cayenne Pepper will be what we use for Auntie.

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here. I know when my head and body aches then I got problems. I test my stuff and get on my PEMf device and ask my Tractor Driver to get me some ice and some cayenne pepper in water. Don't know why my blood pressure is now a deal. I test and learn that I'm in deep dodo. Not a problem. I have the answer............ don't get old. I put ice on my neck and face and drink a 1/3 glass of water with 8 drops of Cayenne extract and I get to live. Amazing how that works. As all know, I have been down some tough dusty roads and have asked you to follow me you know if I know squat. Me, I have no clue. it appears to me that the further you get down the road, the more interesting it gets.

Here is what I think I know. You will live better if you eat well. Food is the Rx that old timey doctors knew about. The short cut way will not work. I thank the Lord daily for another day. But, it is going through my mind that I may need to just go. I love my Tractor Driver and want her taken care of. I am now a burden on her. I know . She has to bend over when I can't. That hurts my feelings. I am the man. Don't sweat my program. I have a plan to get me a few more years. That is EECP, if I can pull it off. This is a mechanical system that pushes blood through your heart as if you were excerising. FDA does not like it because they can make more money with Rx . That's the way they are. ====ORH=====

Cayenne Pepper Extract does a better job for High Blood Pressure than the capsules, in my opinion.

Ginger Tea with garlic water will also address the inflammation involved with HBP issues. Using all (3) will give you the long term results you’re looking for.

I have had high blood pressure problems and just started taking Cayenne Pepper, half teaspoon of powder in some warm water, my bp is now 116/75! Its miracle stuff! I haven't been in the normal range for years! I highly recommend Cayenne Pepper Powder if you want to naturally lower your bp -- be careful though of the heat rating and the amount you use, start low 35,000 units and work your way up the heat scale slowly. The results are amazing!!

Yep me too. I can't take cayenne. Drank V8 tomato juice with hot cayenne in it only had one small glass and my bl pr went up over 40 points. A few months ago I tried drinking a glass of water with a quarter ts of cayenne and the same thing happened. Bl pr rose to over 170/95!! I guess I just can't take it.

Arginine does not work for me either. I took 6 grams divided 3x a day for four whole months and still bl pr high. I am in age 60's now. Going to see a holistic md next wk. I was at the er last nite cuz my bl pr was 195/116. I was freaking out., and this is with a bl pr pill which I normally only take half. But a whole one does not work either. I am trying the Apple Cider Vinegar now and will buy some beets and just eat one raw.

Cayenne is wonderful and it works well for HBP. I take cayenne in a tincture form. I didn't like the pills because when they break up in your stomach..ouch! The tincture can stop a heart attack in 60 seconds with the correct amount. I took 2 drops in a little milk just before my last doctor appt, and when the doc took my BP it was 115/70. It is usually 133/90. Now I take it daily with a drop/day. Buy it online if you can't find it.

It has been a week since I've been using cayenne pepper and also a hypertensive, I must say that the health benefits are out of this world. I take half teaspoon with a quarter coldwater every morning with no side effects. Thanx to all tips about cayenne pepper.
