RE: Herbal Remedies - Cayenne pepper

[Guest guest]

Hi Elizabeth,

 

So, I think there are two options you have - the Total Tonic (the recipe you grabbed already) or cayenne tincture. Technically, the Total Tonic is a tincture as well, and has tons of good stuff in it. Cayenne tincture is just cayenne.

 

On the TT, 1-2 dropperfuls 3-4 times per day is the recommendation. (I'm sorry, but I don't have an accurate measure of a "dropperful".) On the cayenne tincture, anywhere from 1-10 drops (it's strong stuff!) per day. I can do 2-3 drops and in a whole glass of water it still burns my mouth!

 

Hope that answers your questions!

How much and how many times a day?

Actually water makes cayenne's burning sensation worse. Try chasing with some apple juice or rice milk.

Kelli,

The secret is put those couple drops in a swallow of water... down it! Then take a drink of water or two after...
