Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have been researching the issue of taking cayenne pepper before surgery. Some cayenne supplements advise to stop taking them before surgery and this is the reason why:Most important reason is cayenne peppers is also well known for clearing blood clots. So therefore in event of surgery, they are afraid of hemorrhage as the issue that might occur during surgery due to cayenne peppers.I received a reply back from Kristi, the herbalist that I so often speak about, and this is what she said with regard to how cayenne works:Cayenne does not 'technically' thin or thicken the blood - it normalizes circulation. If bp is high, it brings it down; if bp is low, it brings it up. If you're bleeding, it stops the bleeding by regulating the circulation of the blood. Powder, applied externally, will also stop bleeding and intensely assist in wound healing. This action is more like a "styptic pencil" action than anything else (as I understand it). There's some aspect of it that stops bleeding and seriously promotes healing /regeneration. Dr. Schulze once out in the woods with a guy that cut off the end of his finger; he ran to the car and grabbed his trusty cayenne powder, put cayenne on the 'stump' and the 'tip', stuck them back together, covered it all in cayenne and wrapped it in a rag bandage. He was going to do more when they got back home, but when he took off the rag/bandage, there was no need to do anything but rinse it, apply more cayenne and bandage it properly. I think it was about a week/week and a half later they removed the bandage, and it was totally healed....and ultimately healed with NO scarring whatsoever.Since I didn't receive a specific reply with regard to taking it before surgery, I went on my own quest. Several sites advised not to use it before surgery because of its blood thinning properties. I found the best explanation at earthclinic.com which I posted above.I hope this answers your questions.Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
