Cayenne pepper as a first aid

How to Use Cayenne for external wounds:

Take a little cayenne pepper powder and put directly into the bleeding cut or laceration. The bleeding should stop within 10-15 seconds. Cayenne powder should be reserved for small cuts and scrapes, if it is a larger wound, take a teaspoon of red pepper powder, dispersed in a glass of warm water and drink it quickly. Cayenne is actually a powerful styptic (substance able to stop bleeding when applied to a wound.) It does a quick equalization of blood pressure and blood clotting starts. Not only does cayenne work to stop bleeding quickly, it also disinfects the cut so you don’t need to worry about infections.

Dr. Richard Schulze, ND, MH, proclaimed, “If you only master one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It’s more powerful than any other.”
