Cayenne has been prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old-time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated.²⁷

Cayenne is a unique herb in that makes everything else it is put with, work so much better.²⁸ It is at the top of the list of the ten most important herbs to have in the home, because it will make the other nine work better.²⁹

Capsicum (cayenne pepper) is said to be unequaled in its ability to boost circulation and increase heart action. Capsicum exerts a variety of desirable actions on the entire cardiovascular system. It has the extraordinary ability to enhance cardiovascular performance while actually lowering blood pressure. Capsicum has an energizing effect on the entire system. It has traditionally been used for overcoming fatigue and restoring stamina and vigor. It is a natural stimulant without the threatening side effects of most other stimulating agents.³⁰

Cayenne's benefits can be attributed to the antioxidants, flavonoids and carotenoids it contains, all of which have anti-inflammatory effects and enhance circulation. It also depletes nerve endings. Those that use cayenne four times a day experienced reduced pain and tenderness.³¹

The best remedy we can use to naturally alleviate inflammation is to improve circulation to the affected area as best as we can. Circulation is essential to healing any part of the body of any condition. Without circulation, healing will not take place.³² Cayenne is a powerful herb in that it makes for better circulation. When taken internally, it boosts and strengthens the overall circulatory system. For any injury or inflammation, cayenne is a herb that will greatly boost healing.³²

Circulation is especially critical when we are talking about severe or serious inflammatory situations. We cannot use some mild soothing oil or ointment and expect it to work. That would be like using a small pail of water to try to put out a huge fire.³²

Cayenne goes immediately into the blood stream and adjusts the blood pressure from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet, equalizing pressure over the whole body.²⁸

Circulation is so important that it warrants another mention. Whatever the cause of inflammation, be it trauma, injury or infection, circulation is CRUCIAL for healing. When severe inflammation is involved, it is ABSOLUTELY essential.³²

SUMMARY: Cayenne will help to heal the inflammation that is causing your restless legs. The "bristling" in your legs (arms, feet etc.) is caused by the energy moving through your body and irritating the inflamed cells. As the inflammation lesses, your RLS will lessen. Cayenne is also essential for good circulation, which promotes faster healing with the other supplements. It ensures that the nutrients are able to get to where they are needed.
