My mother had an irregular and rapid heart beat. Sometimes at night she would call me to put a "pinch" of Cayenne Pepper from the spice cabinet, in hot milk to calm her heart. I have insomnia and Lupus, and have started using a pinch of Cayenne in hot milk.(powder) Please tell me how much could be used? Also, if I get the Cayenne from a health store in liquid form, how much would be safe for use every night. Thank you.

I heard you can't take any aspirin with cayenne. You get a bad after effect, I know I did.

Had a friend with Lupus. It took her 5 weeks of eating raw/living foods to be pain free with out medication. Thought you might benefit from hearing that??

Cayenne slowed my heart rate from 78-100 bpm to 58-64 bpm only after 2 days of use 1/4 of a teaspoon with warm water... BP is down as well

aspirin and cayenne both thin the blood, taking them together could thin the blood too much.
