How to make herbal medicine using Cayenne? </span><br /> <span class="dropcaps"><br /></span> <span class="dropcaps">T</span>he spicy cuisines of Mexico, Southeast Asia, China, southern Italy, many Caribbean islands, and North America’s Cajun cultures share an ingredient: hot pepper. Not the tiny black peppercorns ground in pepper mills, but the fleshy fruits borne by plants belonging to the genus <i>Capsicum</i>. More than a thousand varieties of <i>Capsicum</i> are grown worldwide. They produce colorful fruits that vary considerably, not only in color, size, and shape, but also in the intensity of their heat. That heat comes from a plant chemical called capsaicin, which, in addition to adding zest to food, has pain-relieving properties.<br /> <br /> <h2 class="section" id="c05-s01"> <b>Therapeutic Uses</b></h2> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1li77rqmqK3xdqtuAKSlFjGV0u17fbn2WveDDnBpODPqZgzlLT6y_vE7-8Y_-iApw35JLPPetUvWcKsYTySm5uLfGyXHuJmgYuQtxT9tYZXKQXI8wXDh3MWndB1xZSliMbsYMOztY8w/s1600/benefits-of-cayenne-1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD1li77rqmqK3xdqtuAKSlFjGV0u17fbn2WveDDnBpODPqZgzlLT6y_vE7-8Y_-iApw35JLPPetUvWcKsYTySm5uLfGyXHuJmgYuQtxT9tYZXKQXI8wXDh3MWndB1xZSliMbsYMOztY8w/s320/benefits-of-cayenne-1.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Arthritis</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Nerve pain</i></div> <div class="extract"> Despite its bite in spicy cuisines, purified cayenne pepper, yielding the essential compound capsaicin, is an effective topical pain reliever. Capsaicin is absorbed through the skin and binds to specific receptors that act to deplete a compound responsible for conveying pain sensations to the brain.</div> <div class="extract"> <br /></div> <div class="indent"> One category of conditions that cause pain originates from nerve damage resulting from diabetes or other nervous system problems. For this discomfort, creams containing at least 0.075 percent capsaicin applied to a painful area over 6 to 8 weeks have been shown to provide relief. In some cases, just one high-dose patch containing 8 percent capsaicin can be beneficial. A common pattern in the treatment is that the pain gets worse for a few days before it gradually gets better; benefits are often sustained even after treatment stops. Some studies have shown that preparations with a lower percentage of capsaicin, some of which are available over the counter, are less effective, either because of the lower dose or because of poorer absorption. These creams are also used by people who experience the lingering pain of shingles.</div> <div class="indent"> <br /></div> Osteoarthritis may also respond to capsaicin creams. Creams containing 0.025 percent capsaicin have been shown to help ease joint pain of adults suffering from osteoarthritis over a 6-week period; one study, in which subjects used the 0.075 percent cream for 4 weeks, resulted in decreased arthritis pain and tenderness in the hands. <br /> <h2 class="section" id="c05-s02"> <b>How to Use</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Cream:</i> For nerve-related pain, apply cream containing 0.075 percent capsaicin 3 to 4 times daily. Lower-dose creams containing only 0.025 percent capsaicin applied 4 times daily may be effective for arthritis. For optimal benefit, treatment is usually recommended for 6 to 8 weeks; benefits for arthritis may occur before 8 weeks. Researchers also are developing other higher-dose forms of cayenne, including a patch and injections, which look promising for pain relief.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c05-s03"> <b>Precautions</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Application of cayenne preparations to the skin can cause a rash as well as burning, stinging, and redness. The rash, often an irritation rather than an allergic reaction, is usually worse on first applications of the preparation and then gets better with repeated use. However, if the rash gets worse with time, treatment should be discontinued and improvement should occur quickly. Do not apply to broken skin. Occasionally, people will develop a cough after using higher strength preparations, presumably from the spicy substance that gets inhaled.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <br /></div> <div class="nonindent"> So that's all, now you know the<b><a href="http://www.articlemostwanted.com/2013/04/benefits-of-cayenne-cure-nerve-pain.html"> benefits of Cayenne</a></b> for your health. </div>

One of Black Cohosh Benefits - Menstrual Cramps

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLfjPtjJhRsS5AhrVGmWm8IFNdnIVriOrciOlCD11rLiGetCd4WrEEQVNFIW8Ws9K0WiJmBRARGnaUubGMsq8288R-j_ReXMZeTxK4XKHk0z-TaBZh5tgrDLMU0wM120Uu2JWU4F4Z5Mo/s1600/black-cohosh-benefits.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLfjPtjJhRsS5AhrVGmWm8IFNdnIVriOrciOlCD11rLiGetCd4WrEEQVNFIW8Ws9K0WiJmBRARGnaUubGMsq8288R-j_ReXMZeTxK4XKHk0z-TaBZh5tgrDLMU0wM120Uu2JWU4F4Z5Mo/s320/black-cohosh-benefits.jpg" width="236" /></a></div> <div class="nonindent"> <span class="dropcaps">N</span>ative to eastern North America, black cohosh thrives in moist, shaded woodlands. Over time, it has also become a popular garden perennial that rarely goes unnoticed. Shortly after midsummer, black cohosh begins sending up tall flower stalks covered with tiny, pearl-shaped buds. As the buds open, the stalks take on the look of soft, white bottlebrushes towering above the dark green foliage. The fact that honeybees scorn the flowers but flies and beetles love them may be the source of at least two of black cohosh’s other common names, bugbane and bugwort, respectively. Another is black snakeroot. To understand this nickname’s source, dig around the base of the plant and expose its twisted rhizomes, which look like dark little snakes.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c03-s01"> <b>Therapeutic Uses</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Menopause</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Premenstrual syndrome</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Menstrual cramps</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Arthritis</i></div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Mild depression (melancholy)</i></div> <div class="extract"> The primary use for black cohosh is to treat menopause-related symptoms. Germany’s health authorities recognize its use for menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances), as well as for premenstrual syndrome and menstrual cramping. Early studies suggested that black cohosh acted like a natural estrogen, or phytoestrogen, gently reducing hot flashes and vaginal dryness. But newer research has found no hormonal effects of black cohosh in menopausal women.</div> More than 20 published clinical trials have evaluated the effectiveness of black cohosh for menopausal hot flashes. While some studies show a modest reduction in symptoms, not all clinical trials have been positive. There may be added benefit when black cohosh is combined with St. John’s wort. One clinical trial of 301 women reported a 50 percent reduction in symptoms with the combination, compared with 19 percent reduction in the placebo group. Current research has not yet determined the effectiveness of black cohosh for hot flashes. <br /> <div class="indent"> Scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago have demonstrated that compounds in black cohosh act as antidepressants and reduce pain sensitivity, lending support to the traditional use of black cohosh as a treatment for melancholy, or depressed mood, as well as its widespread use as a remedy for arthritis and menstrual pain. No clinical trials have evaluated its effectiveness for these conditions.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c03-s02"> <b>How to Use</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tea:</i> Simmer 2 teaspoons of chopped root and rhizome in 2 cups water for 10 minutes. Strain. Drink ¼ cup, 2 to 3 times per day.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Capsules:</i> 40 to 200 mg of dried rhizome taken daily, in divided doses.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Tincture:</i> Generally, 1 to 2 ml, 3 times per day.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <i>Standardized extract:</i> 20 to 40 mg black cohosh extract twice daily.</div> <div class="nonindent"> Products are often standardized to provide 1 to 2 mg of 27-deoxy-actein.</div> <div class="nonindent"> </div> <h2 class="section" id="c03-s03"> <b>Precautions</b></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Except for minor gastrointestinal upset, clinical trials have shown black cohosh to be free of side effects. A few reports have suggested black cohosh may, in rare cases, cause damage to the liver, prompting European, Australian, Canadian, and British health authorities to require product labels suggesting conferral with a health-care provider by anyone with any type of liver disease. Safety during pregnancy and breast-feeding is not known.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <br /></div> <div class="nonindent"> <br /></div>
