If you’re congested because of cold or sinus problems—here’s a spicy secret to provide relief. Sprinkle powdered cayenne pepper on your food, or use a few drops of liquid extract. This piping hot seasoning helps get your body fluids flowing.
This can help drain stuffy sinuses and even help open the airways leading in and out of your lungs. Soon you will be breathing freely and enjoying the taste and smell of your favorite foods again.
But that’s not all cayenne pepper can do for your health. The spice can also stimulate your digestive system and aid in the absorption of key vitamins and minerals. And due to the heated taste of the pepper, your body temperature may rise slightly, which boosts circulation and blood flow to your skin. This is one reason why cayenne peppers are associated with lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
