Whole food(herbal medicine) used as medical treatment,  linking health benefits in prevention, management and treatment of diseases has induced much interests in today renowned scientists.
Many researchers have raised a question of their's effectiveness as quality of the herbs may be affected by geographic differences, time of grown and harvest, etc. I do believe that these questions can only be answered by experience herbalist.

Cayenne, the chili spice have been used in traditional medicne for treatment of Gastrointestinal disorder.  According to recent study, cayenne exerted various beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal system by variety of mechanisms such as influence of gastric emptying, stimulation of gastrointestinal defense and absorption, stimulation of salivary, intestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic secretions.

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, 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.

According to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, in evaluation of eight healthy volunteers, intake of cayenne showed to slower the rate of gastric emptying and faster the whole gut transit after the meal  compared with the other meal. 

In fact, adding chilli in the meal is associated with a faster whole gut transit time, affecting the intestinal transit or gastric emptying.

In an 18 well nourished healthy human adult volunteers study, Dr. Kochhar KP, the lead researchers at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, said, " The t1/2 of the spicy meal, 40.09 +/- (p < 0.05) thus implying a faster transit through the stomach" and " In 17 out of the 18 subjects, t1/2 of the spicy meal was consistently lower than that of spice free meal".

Intake of Cayenne regularly no doubt have improved the gastrointestinal function through increased metabolism. use of chili supplement should be taken with care to prevent toxicity
