Knowing this could truly benefit everyone! Spicy foods, including hot peppers, have powerful effects on the human body. They improve blood circulation, relax the muscles, and relieve spasms in the blood vessels. Additionally, they send signals to the brain that trigger the release of endorphins—natural chemicals often referred to as “morphine” of the body. These endorphins help boost mood and create a sense of well-being.
This remarkable pepper tincture can be used for various purposes, making it a must-have in any natural remedy collection. It’s especially useful in the following cases:
- To increase appetite
- In cases of mild food poisoning
- To strengthen hair roots and stimulate growth
- For massaging sore joints
Red chili pepper also supports digestion, particularly when it comes to heavy meals. When preparing meat dishes, if the cook adds a bit of chili pepper, the food becomes not only tastier but also easier to digest. More importantly, the caloric content of such meals is significantly reduced—sometimes by nearly half!
So, for those who are watching their figure, this powerful spice allows you to enjoy flavorful meals without consuming excess calories.
Chili pepper also positively affects the digestive system as a whole, stimulating healthy bowel movements and supporting proper intestinal function. Regular use may even help regulate menstrual cycles and support the female reproductive system. For men, it may assist in stabilizing sexual performance by regulating certain functions in the body.
Those aiming to lose weight will find chili pepper to be a helpful ally. It speeds up metabolism, prevents fat accumulation, and encourages the body to burn calories more efficiently. It also contributes to the reduction of cholesterol levels in the blood and improves digestion.
Its applications extend beyond internal use—this tincture is also highly recommended in cosmetology. For example, it improves blood circulation around the nails, which encourages strong, healthy nail growth. Not only that, but it also promotes faster hair growth when used as part of a scalp treatment.
To gain all these health benefits, it is sufficient to include chili pepper in your regular diet in small amounts. Overconsumption, however, should be avoided, as large doses can irritate the stomach and intestines.
Here’s how you can prepare an appetite-enhancing pepper tincture at home:
Finely chop 50 grams of hot red chili pepper and pour over 0.5 liters of 70% medical alcohol or vodka. Let it sit for 10 days in a sealed container, shaking it occasionally. After 10 days, strain the mixture. Take 10 to 20 drops of the tincture 2 to 3 times a day before meals, mixed with a small amount of water.
To make a massage oil for joint pain relief:
Mix 1 tablespoon of ground chili pepper with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Let the mixture infuse for 2 weeks. This oil can be used for massaging areas affected by joint pain, neuralgia, or sciatica. It can also be taken internally (10-20 drops before meals) if you suffer from constipation.
Sweet pepper juice also has its uses!
My husband prepares a natural remedy for removing pigmentation spots on the skin. He mixes freshly squeezed sweet pepper juice with an equal amount of carrot juice and applies it to his face. He’s very pleased with the results!
Important Note:
This tincture is not recommended for individuals who suffer from stomach or intestinal ulcers. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new remedy, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
