Make Your Own Herbal Remedies

Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper
Have you ever considered the benefits of food growing in your own backyard? Cayenne Pepper has many health benefits but it can be difficult to consume in larger amounts due to the HEAT.
For concentrated Cayenne, we make and use Organic Cayenne Tincture. Organic Cayenne Tincture is easy to make and takes 2-3 weeks to "brew"
Cayenne Pepper is a nightshade vegetable. While adding a little (or a lot) of hot and spicy to any dish, cayenne pepper can also be very therapeutic. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin which can open up your sinuses, fight inflammation, cardiovascular support, helps with ulcers, boosts immune system and metabolism.
THIS is what got my attention: "Cayenne pepper's bright red color signals its high content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A. Just two teaspoons of cayenne pepper provide 47% of the daily value for vitamin A. Often called the anti-infection vitamin, vitamin A is essential for healthy epithelial tissues including the mucous membranes that line the nasal passages, lungs, intestinal tract and urinary tract and serve as the body's first line of defense against invading pathogens." source
I decided to make this remedy for
several reasons. #1 is that my husband has asthma and allergies so I'd
like to give him a healthier alternative than the OTC junk he takes
everyday. #2 is I hate getting sick and since I so rarely get sick I'm a
miserable sickie.
My husband says Cayenne Tincture makes a HUGE difference with his allergies!
What is a Tincture? An herbal tincture is simply an herbal extract. Herbal remedies have been used throughout history to treat illnesses and ailments without "modern medicine" and pharmaceuticals. Tinctures are easy to make, home remedies. If properly prepared and stored, your tincture will last indefinitely. Source
To get started you'll need: A clean jar with a lid, vodka or Everclear, herb(s), measuring cups and/or scale and labels.
If you purchase a DIY Tincture Kit from Mary's Heirloom Seeds, the herbs, jar with a lid, customizable labels and dropper bottle are all included. All you need to do is measure out your menstruum and combine!
Let's get started making our Tincture!
DIY Organic Cayenne Pepper Tincture
Ingredients and tools:
1 clean jar with a lid (quart size)
3-4 cups of vodka or everclear

How I Make Feverfew Tincture
Making your own herbal home remedies is easy. Herbal tea is a great start but Tinctures can be a much stronger alternative. The cost to purchase 2 ounces in the store is almost 4 times what it would cost to make your own. Some are even 7 times more expensive! Source
