This month, we’re turning up the heat! While the weather outside is frightful, the herbs inside are delightful-ly warming to our bodies! Cayenne is a favorite herb of mine during wintertime though many find his actions useful year round.

This month we’ll explore the explosively hot side of Cayenne, a herb that can warm you up AND help you keep your cool. This Coyote trickster herb is one you won’t want to leave out of your medicine chest. Why? Cayenne stimulates….circulation, the nervous system and more. If you tend to have cold feet and hands, you’ll want to keep a bottle of Cayenne by your side to sprinkle on your feet. If you have heart problems, Cayenne may be beneficial for you. If you suffer from cluster headaches, neuralgia, arthritis, back pain or fibromyalgia, Cayenne may be the herb you need for relief. Learn about how he helps with these and much more in this month’s issue of Herbal Roots zine.
