There are several books just written on the healing power of Cayenne Pepper!

It is food for the digestive fire, Agni.  It stimulates appetite, destroys toxic build up, strengthens the heart and circulatory system, and purifies the blood.   It is a very high source of Vitamins A and C, has the complete B complexes, and is very rich in organic calcium and potassium, which is one of the reasons it is good for the heart.  Use Cayenne sparingly, especially during the summer and for people with high Pitta dosha.

Cayenne has a deceptively mild aroma, yet it has a fiery taste.  It may be sprinkled over soups, stews, eggs, omelettes, souffles, fish, vegetables, casseroles, curries and chutneys.
