Cayenne is also known as Cayenne Pepper, a red, hot
chili pepper, belonging to Capsicum annuum, the family Solanaceae,
native to sub-tropical and tropical regions. It has been used in
traditional medicine to increases metabolism, enhance circulatory
system and stomach and the intestinal tract, adjust blood pressure,
lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, treat frostbite, muscles,
arthritis, rheumatism, low back pain, strains, sprains, bruises and
neuralgia, etc.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls
of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. High blood pressure means
raising pressure in your heart.If it stays high over time it can damage the body in many ways.
Ingredients
The chemical constituents of Cayenne include capsaicin, capsacutin oil, solaine, xanthenes, oleic acid, palmitic acid, etc.
Epidemiological studies linking cayenne in reduced hypertension have not
been conclusive, the mechanism of these effect are still an mystery.
The pepper (Capsicum) genus showed to exhibit both anti-hyperglycemia and anti-hypertension potential in many studies, probably through inhibition of related enzymes(1). But in other studies, ingestion of large amount may cause an arterial hypertensive crisis,
according to a case report at 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. There was a
report of a case of an arterial hypertensive crisis in a 19-year-old
Italian man with an abundant ingestion of peppers and of chili peppers
the preceding day(2).
Capsaicin in Caynne also found to exhibit acute myocardial infarction with high
levels of thyroid stimulating hormone if ingestion of large amount(3).
This dual mechanisms presented in cayenne may not be explained by
conventional medicine, traditional Chinese medicine provides this
differentiation. Cayenne, yang in nature, promotes Qi movement of blood.
In healthy individual, qi smooth movement reduces the unnecessary blood
pressure in blood transportation. On the other hand, movement of qi was
block to induce higher blood pressure due to the presence of high
amount cholesterol cause of narrow blood vessel.
