Capsicum: Historically as a stimulant, diaphoretic (causes sweating), condiment, aperients (expels gas), hemostatic (stops unnatural bleeding), energizer, calmative and cleaner. Capsicum is probably the most effective and harmless stimulant in the herbal kingdom. Capsicum produces an immediate effect of heat and energy. Though it may taste like "liquid fire," it is not known to actually burn or blister, although in pure strength. The renowned doctor and surgeon, William Beaumont, observed in his now classic observations of the stomach through a hole which formed after a gunshot wound to a young fur trapper that Cayenne does not irritate in any way the lining of the human stomach despite its sensation of great heat. The herb is used by the Mormons and the people of the Balkan countries to heal bleeding ulcers of the stomach. Cayenne stops the flow of all unnatural bleeding within seconds; it has internal or external use, and is said to stop a heart attack in short order. A powerful influence is exerted at the same time over the nervous system to produce a great calm of abundant energy. The U.S. Dispensary Part I recommends Cayenne as a totally workable remedy for malignant sore throats and also as a gargle. The best action of Cayenne is prolonged by the addition of a catalyst herb. It is also strongly recommended by the U.S. Dispensary for local application for joint pains especially due to rheumatism.
