These tiny, colorful hot pepper powerhouses really pack a punch. Not only do they add zing to your food but they have an absolute plethora of health benefits especially for the heart. Cayenne and other hot peppers are all members of the genus Capsicum and whether you choose cayenne, habanero, red Thai, or any of the other hot varieties, they all have amazing heart healthy properties. Anyone with a family history of cardiovascular disease or if they have heart disease themselves needs to add cayenne to the diet.

Cayenne doesn’t have just one heart healthy action; it has them all! It lowers blood pressure benefiting those with hypertension. This relieves the stress on the heart. High blood pressure makes the heart pump harder and harder, eventually wearing out the heart. It opens up the blood vessels almost instantly allowing blood to flow freely. In addition it fights cholesterol, cleaning the blood vessels of deposits that can lead to atherosclerosis. Cayenne helps bring nutrients and oxygen directly to the heart by opening up the coronary blood vessels, strengthening the heart muscle.

Cayenne strengthens every blood vessel in the body including tiny capillaries that bring nutrients and oxygen to every cell and remove the toxic waste products from the cells. Hot peppers even keep the blood from sticking together preventing dangerous clots. All of these actions help cayenne prevent heart attacks and strokes. Herbalists agree that hot peppers are the number one herb for the heart.

Studies show that cultures that consume a lot of hot peppers in their food have a much lower incidence of heart and cardiovascular disease. You can add peppers to food, make an instantly stimulating cup of hot cayenne tea, use high quality hot sauce on vegetables or in soups and stews, or take cayenne capsules.

Worried about ulcers? No need, cayenne actually has properties that heal ulcers! Loaded with nutrients and phytochemicals, cayenne is high in Vitamins A and C. Vitamin C is essential for the health of blood vessels. It strengthens vessel walls and is necessary for the body to produce collagen, the substance that keeps the cell walls flexible and supple. There are many stories of heart attacks and strokes being instantly stopped by cayenne. This is certainly not a substitute for medical attention but in an emergency situation before help arrive, a cup of hot water with cayenne, or even a tablespoon of hot sauce placed under the tongue can stop the heart attack.

Heart Disease Treatments-Hawthorn for the Heart

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Long known to herbalists for its benefits for people with cardiovascular disease, hawthorn has been shown in clinical studies to both strengthen the heart and help with many aspects of heart disease. Hawthorn is a small flowering tree that produces berries that are used to make herbal supplements. Widely used in Europe by both homeopathic and allopathic doctors for heart problems; it is a popular herbal supplement in the United States.

One of the primary actions of hawthorn is strengthening the heart itself.

This is the main reason for its widespread use for patients with heart failure. This disease means that the heart is not strong enough to adequately circulate blood. Hawthorn can strengthen the heart and alleviate many of the symptoms of heart failure. Hawthorn acts to dilate the arteries around the heart allowing a better flow of nutrients, oxygen, and blood which helps build the heart muscle back up.

Another benefit of hawthorn is its effect of hypertension. High blood pressure can be caused by buildup of cholesterol or plaque in the arteries, causing them to constrict and reduce the flow of blood. Hawthorn has been shown to relax the arteries and reduce cholesterol. Both of these actions will reduce high blood pressure.

Studies have shown this herb to be beneficial for angina and irregular heartbeat. Many studies have been done in Europe, Germany in particular.

American researchers are now studying hawthorn for its beneficial actions.

Using this herb has long been a part of heart therapy in Europe and is becoming accepted here now due to its effectiveness and safety.

The herb also has a calming effect that helps in today's high stress world. High levels of stress are known to cause physical problems including coronary disease. Hawthorn needs to be taken over a long period of time, months and years for the benefits to be optimized. There are no known risks and no known adverse drug interactions.
