Guest guest Report post Posted November 28, 2000 Hey Starry, You're a brave one and no doubt about it. To make the tincture, just add your fresh Habanero or African Bird pepper to 50% Alcohol, 50% distilled water = 100 proof vodka and blend in a blender. Let sit in a jar for two weeks and then press. Remember to shake your jars a few times each day and for best results, make your tincture on the New Moon and press it on the Full Moon. The longer you let it "perk" the better it gets.

Is that a heat unit? I've not heard of the Scovil unit before. What is it? This is the main unit that is used to measure the hotness of peppers. It reaches as high as 300,000. I've heard of using the BTU method which I think goes as high as 60 (??? not sure) and another scale that goes from 1 to 10 which is used in nurseries. Why there are so many scales to measure the hotness of peppers, I have no idea ) The hottest orange brown Habaneros reach as high as 300,000 and so do some African Bird Peppers. These are all great for making Cayenne tincture. I was also amazed to hear of the 300,000 BTU levels of cayenne. Maybe we can make an elite 300,000 BTU club for all those who try it? lol! (you may not see my name on that roster : D) The 300,000 is in Scovil units not BTUs, 300,000 BTUs would burn one to a cinder in a little over a nano second. I think Penny was referring to Scovil units here. Love, Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted December 1, 2000 The hottest Cayenne tincture I ever made was when I was using up all my spare peppers (mostly Habanero and a few African Bird {Fresh, Dried & Powdered}, I never did keep track of all the varieties that went into that batch) and through them all into a blender with my 50 - 50 Alcohol, distilled water blend. Two weeks later, one whiff seemed to singe the hairs in my nostrils, and one dropperful kept me hiccupping for a half hour.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 11, 2001 Kristine, Wow when you said deep you meant DEEP. Reminds me of the story I put on the list several weeks back about the finger tip that came totally off and cayenne was used to put it back together with the same result as your story = no stiches and a perfect healing. I bet you were glad you had just bought that CAYENNE. I agree definitely an emergency herb to have on hand. Good job!!!

Idid not even taste the cayenne when I took it in water, and I took a lot ofit. The shock effect I think, as it normally burns for me pretty bad, evenjust a little, and I took far more than normal. Then I put my finger tip,which was coming half off into the bag of cayenne and held it tight and overmy head. It formed a nice little cocoon over the cut. When we washed itoff, it did not start bleeding again. I did not go for stitches, and thewound healed very nicely.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 12, 2001 I've heard that to stop profuse bleeding (i.e. a deep cut) you should pack cayenne into the wound.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 17, 2001 Okay, when you put cayenne in a wound, where does it go? Does it dissolve? or do you have to clean it out of the wound? As a general rule of thumb, how much should be used based on the wound size? For a heart attack victim, how much would you use? Is there such a thing as giving someone too MUCH? Are you putting it under/on the tongue? Would you NOT use cayenne on people with certain medical conditions? Are we talking regular kitchen cayenne, or health food store cayenne?

Gargle, let it foam up for a few minutes until it is done foaming, spit as necessary and then rinse the mouth well with some water. Be careful not to swallow the peroxide of course, but this worked for me when nothing else did. Paulissa, The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 19, 2001 See answers below. Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington Okay, when you put cayenne in a wound, where does it go? Does it dissolve? or do you have to clean it out of the wound? As a general rule of thumb, how much should be used based on the wound size? It gets totally absorbed into the wound and you never need to clean it out. As far as "how much?" is concerned, don't get cheap here. You can slap the stuff on there and it won't hurt and will only do good.For a heart attack victim, how much would youuse? Anywhere from half to a full ounce straight into the mouth, but the guys in the middle of a heart attack here and who's got the time to measure it out. If you have a two ounce bottle on you (like I do at all times), just open his mouth and pour in half the bottle. Too little and he may die. Too much --- well I don't know if there is such a thing under these conditions but you'll probably save his life by not getting stingy here. Is there such a thing as giving someone too MUCH? Probably, but I haven't crossed that line yet and I've used it very freely for years. Now, if the guy's 98 years old, and there's barely a breath on the mirror, I'd probably only give him a quarter of a bottle to begin with, but if he threatened to "do-a-bunk", what have you got to lose? I'd give him the rest of the bottle if I had to. I guarantee you that if he's in that bad of shape, you're his only hope at that stage cause the Medicos will finish him for good if they show up on the scene. Are you putting it under/on the tongue? In his mouth hon. Under, on and around the tongue. Would you NOT use cayenne on people with certain medical conditions? Are we talking regularkitchen cayenne, or health food store cayenne? Can't think of anyone I wouldn't use Cayenne on though if you were to get specific, I might think of one after a very long questioning. Just can't think of any circumstances at this time. As far as qualtity and where to buy is concerned. Just go to your local healthfood store and ask for the hottest, ORGANIC cayenne they have. Organic Habanero is the best as it can range anywhere from to 220,000 all the way up to 300,000 Scoville heat units. The hotter, the better here. You can take the fresh cayenne peppers and immdiately make a tincture out of it which is second to none using 100 proof Vodka in a blender. Best is to press it after 14 days but you could use it right away in an emergency and it'll work wonders. Stay away from your supermarket cayenne pepper powder as it is usually irradiated, fumigated, and generally of way inferior quality. I know so many questions, but better to ask thembefore I need to. No problem hon. Hope I've answered them all for you. Love, Doc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just punch into "messages" and scroll back until you find all the talk on the subject. Lots of good data. The way you get Cayenne down a heart victim while in the throws of an attack is in tincture form. You can simply pour the tincture into his or her mouth and it'll do its job.
