Medicinal Use & Health Benefit of Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum)

"If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other." Dr. Schulze

"Cayenne pepper - prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around the world recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling health problems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies have been conducted on many of the old-time health applications for this miracle herb. Again and again, the therapeutic value of cayenne pepper has been medically validated."Dr. Patrick

Quillin The Healing Power of Cayenne Pepper

In a recent letter to the editors of the New England Journal of Medicine, three Italian doctors describe how they were able to reduce patients' reported dyspepsia symptoms by more than half - by prescribing red pepper powder. In a study of 30 patients with functional dyspepsia, half of the participants received a placebo, while the other half took 2.5 grams of red pepper powder each day (divided into capsules taken before each of three meals). Both groups took their respective treatments for five weeks, and rated their symptoms each day on a scale of zero to three (higher scores indicated more severe symptoms). By the third week, the red pepper group showed a significant advantage over the control group. And by week five, the pepper group's symptoms had declined 60 percent from their baseline scores - while the control group's scores had only decreased about half as much. The symptom scores included ratings for pain, a feeling of fullness, nausea, and an overall score. The red pepper powder produced significant gains in all four areas.

"Cayenne has the ability to clear the blood of matter and gasses that cause digestive problems and to help people who suffer from cold hands or feet. It alleviates inflammation and can break up the deposits that contribute to the pain of arthritis. It clears sinus congestion, conjunctivitis, and spongy, bleeding gums. Because it also has astringent qualities, it can stop bleeding and prevent swelling. A source of Vitamin C, it rejuvenates the entire body when energy is depleted and is such a powerful stimulant that just a few sips of cayenne water or a few grains of cayenne on the lips may help prevent shock or depression in times of physical or emotional trauma. And it is believed to be a good tonic for strengthening the heart. From my studies and my own experience with cayenne, I consider it to be an important ingredient for anybody interested in taking educated and careful responsibility for his or her own well-being in situations that are not serious enough to require a doctor's care or in circumstances in which medical attention is not immediately available. "

Cayenne pepper for improved blood flowCayenne pepper (also called Capsicum frutescens) is a stimulating herb made from the dried pods of chili peppers and is well known for its pungent taste and smell. Cayenne is a popular spice used in many different regional styles of cooking, but it has also been used medicinally for thousands of years. Cayenne is often referred to as chili, which is the Aztec name for cayenne pepper. cayenne

The main medicinal properties of cayenne are derived from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin is the ingredient which gives peppers their HEAT. A pepper's capsaicin content ranges from 0-1.5%. Peppers are measured according to heat units. The degree of heat determines the peppers' usage and value. Generally, the hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. In addition to adding heat to the pepper, capsaicin acts to reduce platelet stickiness and relieve pain. Other constituents of cayenne are vitamins E, vitamin C and carotenoids.

Today cayenne is used worldwide to treat a variety of health conditions, including poor circulation, weak digestion, heart disease, chronic pain, sore throats, headaches and toothache.

Ayurveda also utilizes cayenne to treat poor digestion and gas. Chinese medicine uses cayenne for digestive ailments.

When taken internally, cayenne soothes the digestive tract and stimulates the flow of stomach secretions and saliva. These secretions contain substances which help digest food.

Cayenne is the greatest herbal aid to circulation and can be used on a regular basis. Dr. Richard Schulze, the medical herbalist, says that "If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other."Cayenne moves blood

There is no other herb which increases your blood flow faster than cayenne. Cayenne moves blood. When people ask Dr. Schultze, "What are the 10 most important herbs to have in the home?" He tells them, "At the top of the list is cayenne pepper, because it will make the other 9 work better."

Cayenne is the greatest blood circulation stimulant known. You can take all the milk thistle you want, but if you have bad circulation to your liver, it's not going to do you any good. Cayenne increases your blood circulation immediately within seconds, more than any other herb.

When you have a sick area, there's often a restriction of blood flow to that area. Blood flow is what takes nutrition and the healing properties of herbs to those cells. Blood flow is also what carries out and removes waste material. Cayenne pepper is like TNT. It blasts through all that blockage to get to that area which is sick, taking with it all the minerals and vitamins from the foods you eat, and all the vital chemicals from the herbs you take - all the way to the sick area.

Cayenne pepper is usually labeled 40,000, 60,000, 90,000 or more heat units. Generally, the higher the number of heat units, the more beneficial. The lower-heat cayenne peppers are a lot less efficient, and they are the ones which are most highly contaminated. These are the ones you see labeled for 30,000 heat units. These are the ones to stay away from.People who are not used to cayenne just need to work their way up. One problem people have is that they blow their mouths with cayenne, right off the bat. For those who have never used cayenne pepper before, a good initial dosage is 1/16th of a teaspoonful in some juice. Work your way up in dosage slowly. Put a small amount in some juice, stir and drink. Delicious. cayenne pepper

Cayenne powder

It is recommended that the cayenne powder be used, as opposed to capsules. It is believed that you are only getting a small part of the potential effect of cayenne pepper by taking it in capsules. When you put cayenne in your mouth, your stomach secretes digestive juices before the cayenne ever gets there. So when the cayenne gets down there, your stomach is ready for it.

But if you swallow a capsule, your tongue tastes nothing. A capsule goes down in your stomach, and your stomach notices nothing, at first. Then, 5 minutes later the gelatin bursts, and you have a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in your stomach and your body is shocked. You surprised it.

What is going on is that some of cayenne's healing action occurs right in your mouth. As cayenne touches your tongue, the cayenne absorbs in seconds and nerve endings send signals throughout the body - sending waves of fresh blood throughout your body.

My favorite source for high quality, non-irradiated cayenne pepper 90,000 heat units by the pound is here. (If the link goes to a blank page, just search their site for 'cayenne'.) I also like Puritan Pride's special "Buy 2 Get 3 FREE" promotions on cayenne.

I highly recommend the book "The Health Benefits of Cayenne" by John Heinerman if you want to learn more about the power of cayenne. There is no other herb stronger or more effective than cayenne to make immediate physiological and metabolic changes in the body.

Sure, there are a few heating herbs like ginger and horseradish, but what other herb can you put in somebody's mouth and all of a sudden it makes their faces look like cherries? I don't know another herb that will do that, and cayenne does that through your whole body. Use it to improve blood flow throughout your body.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cayenne Pepper - Cayenne and Health(Capsicum annum)

Many herbalists believe that Cayenne is the most useful and valuable herb in the herb kingdom, not only for the entire digestive system, but also for the heart and circulatory system. It acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of other herbs when used with them.

Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. It is a very high source of Vitamins A & C, has the complete B complexes, and is very rich in organic calcium and potassium, which is one of the reasons it is good for the heart.

Digestion

Cayenne can rebuild the tissue in the stomach and the peristaltic action in the intestines. It aids elimination and assimilation, and helps the body to create hydrochloric acid, which is so necessary for good digestion and assimilation, especially of proteins. All this becomes very significant when we realize that the digestive system plays the most important role in mental, emotional and physical health, as it is through the digestive system that the brain, glands, muscles and every other part of the body are fed.

Heart

Cayenne has been known to stop heart attacks within 30 seconds. For example, when a 90-year-old man in Oregon had a severe heart attack, his daughter was able to get Cayenne extract into his mouth. He was pronounced dead by the medics, but within a few minutes, he regained consciousness. On the way to the hospital, he remained in a semi-conscious state, but the daughter kept giving him the Cayenne extract. By the time they got to the hospital, he had fully recovered and wanted to go home and mow the lawn. The doctor asked what she had given him, as he said it was the closest thing to a miracle he had ever seen.

If a heart attack should occur, it is suggested that a teaspoon of extract be given every 15 minutes or a teaspoon of Cayenne in a glass of hot water be taken until the crisis has passed. Dr. Anderson also knew of a doctor who rushed out into the parking lot and put cayenne tincture into the mouth of a man who had died of a heart attack while he was parking his car. Within a few minutes, the man’s heart starting beating again.

According to Dr. Richard Anderson, using cayenne and hawthorn berries together has a most incredible effect upon the heart. He believes that a regimen of cayenne and hawthorn berries for several months will greatly strengthen the heart, and possibly prevent heart attacks. He states further that if an attack were to occur in someone who had followed this regimen, chances are very good that no damage would occur. He tells the following story about his mother:

“I had her taking hawthorn berries and cayenne when she had a heart attack at the age of 79. Her diet had not been the best, and she was in an extremely stressful situation. While in the hospital, they found three blocked arteries and wanted to operate immediately. They did not think that she could survive for more than a few weeks if they didn’t operate. (How many have heard that story!) The doctors thought it would be very risky to operate, but they had her there, and there was a lot of money to be made. So they decided to take some tests in the hopes that they could find an excuse to operate. In spite of the fact that she had been taking lots of aspirin for her arthritis, smoked like she was the reincarnation of a boiler factory, and had just had a heart attack, they found that her heart was incredibly strong. In fact, they felt that her heart was stronger than most people in their 30’s! The good news was that not only did she survive the operation, but also she stopped smoking! Well worth the operation, don’t you think? In my opinion, that was the best thing the doctors ever did for her. Well, that is what hawthorn and cayenne can do for the heart, and every good herbalist knows it; every good doctor should also know it, but very few do.”

Emergencies

It is a good idea to always have some Cayenne extract on hand for emergencies. Dr. Anderson carries capsules of cayenne with him in the car and whenever he goes hiking, backpacking or mountain climbing. He says, “You never know when you may find someone having a heart attack or some other emergency.”

The following stories demonstrate only a few of the remarkable emergency uses of cayenne.

If a hemorrhage occurs in the lungs, stomach, uterus or nose, it is suggested that a teaspoon of extract (or a teaspoon of cayenne powder in a cup of hot water) be given every 15 minutes until the

crisis has passed. The bleeding should stop in 10-30 seconds. The reason for this is that rather than the blood pressure being centralized, it is equalized by the Cayenne, and the clotting action of the blood becomes more rapid. For external bleeding, take cayenne internally and pour cayenne directly on the wound.

Dr. Anderson tells of one time when he was on the beach and a man began passing a kidney stone. The man took some cayenne, which relieved his pain almost immediately.

A person known to Dr. Anderson had a severe toothache in the middle of the night on a weekend. He tried many things to relieve the pain. Cayenne was the only thing that helped.

One of the youngest persons to take cayenne was a six-week old baby who was born with chronic asthma. Dr. John Christopher administered the cayenne using an eyedropper, and it then became possible for the baby to breathe normally.

Dr. Christopher has used cayenne to eliminate allergies, varicose veins, cramps, constipation, and to increase energy.

Dr. Anderson recommends cayenne to help cleanse the body, increase body heat, improve circulation, and strengthen the eyes. But above all, Dr. Anderson feels that cayenne is exceptionally beneficial for the heart.

Heart Attacks: CayenneDr. Christopher

"In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutes they are up and around). This is one of the fastest acting aids we could ever give for the heart, because it feeds that heart immediately. Most hearts are suffering from malnutrition because of processed food we are eating, but here it gets a good powerful dose of real food and it's something that has brought people in time after time. This is something that everyone should know how great it is, because a heart attack can come to your friends or loved ones any time. And even yourself. The warm tea is faster working than tablets, capsules, cold tea, because the warm tea opens up the cell structure--makes it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster, and it goes directly to the heart, through the artery system, and feeds it in powerful food. "

EMERGENCY USES 2

The late herbalist and author John Christopher always carried a pocketful of cayenne pepper capsules and saved the lives of many people who had a sudden heart attack in his presence. Just open the capsules and dump the cayenne under the tongue. Author Dick Quinn, having failed to recover from a Quadruple Bypass operation and told by his doctors that nothing could save him, managed to prolong his life 17 years by the regular ingestion of cayenne pepper. I carry cayenne capsules with me all the time. Never know when you might be able to save a life.

Offered by Educate-Yourself.

Carry a tincture of cayenne pepper and give yourself a bunch of squirts into the mouth. Dr. Schulze has saved many from heart damage by this technology, as this story taken from Herbal Therapy for Serious Illness Issue#1 (1997) A Health Newsletter by Sam Biser, relates.

Offered by Mike.

Schulze: I was once waiting for a patient, a man in his 50's who had a previous heart attack, and who was just beginning my programs. He was late, so I asked my secretary to see if he had arrived. His car was parked in the driveway and it looked as if he was sleeping in it. When she went out to wake him up and bring him in, she became hysterical. She came running in and told me he was dead. I ran out to the car and he was beyond blue, he was slate-grey, cold, and did look dead. I saw no breathing and felt no pulse. I put 12 whole dropperfulls of cayenne tincture into the mouth of this literally dead man.

Biser: Isn't that way too much? Couldn't that hurt him?

Schulze: Who Cares if the man has a sore throat for a week afterward? If you don't do something in seconds, then he's definitely dead.

Biser: So what happened?

Schulze: His face began to turn red - before I even started CPR, and we revived him in seconds. The paramedics took him to the hospital, and later I talked with the emergency room physician. He said that he had rarely seen a person who was so far gone, survive. And, he had never seen a person that bad, who had literally no heart damage. I think this can also be attributed to the fact that this man had been taking hawthorn berry concentrates, for months before he ever came to see me. Hawthorn is a known heart protectant.

Here's my point on this whole case: I gave this man 360 drops (30-40 drops per dropperful) of cayenne tincture. This is a dose no one would dream of. Everyone else wimps around with a couple of dropperfuls - and to tell you the truth, they wouldn't even know to use it at all in this situation. Secondly, this wasn't ordinary cayenne tincture. This was tincture so powerful it makes the stuff you can buy at healthfood stores and herbs suppliers look like colored water.

Mexican Habaneros between 250,000 and 300,000 Scoville Units. Compare that to the 40,000 Heat units that herbal companies sell you. Add enough 40%-alcohol vodka to just cover these chopped and powdered peppers by about 1 inch. Use a blender to assist. Start on the new moon. Let it sit until the Full moon (minimum time), about 14 days, shaking it many times each day. On the Full moon, strain it off through a clean old tee shirt, pressing and straining real tight. Wash your hands well. The cayenne stays on your hand, so wash your hands three times. I let almost all of my tinctures sit for three full months before I strain them.

RECETA TINCTURA TINKTUR enALEMAN

Tinktur-Ansatz Da ich immer wieder auf selbstgemachte Tinkturen verweise, gibt es hier ein Grundrezept zum "brauen" eigener Tinkturen.

1. Sammel ein Glas voll Heilkräuter (oder kauf sie). 2. Gieß einen hochprozentigen klaren Schnaps (z.B. Doppelkorn oder Wodka) über die Kräuter, bis sie bedeckt sind. 3. Verschließ das Glas. 4. Stell es an einen sonnigen, warmen Platz 5. Warte ca. 10 Tage 6. Filter die Tinktur ab (z.B. mit Kaffeefilter). 7. Gieße sie in eine dunkle Flasche. 8. Beschrifte die Flasche mit Inhalt und Datum (Wichtig! Man vergißt sehr leicht, was drin ist, wenn kein Etikett drauf ist).

Von der fertigen Tinktur kannst du dann z.B. 3 mal täglich 1-2 Teelöffel voll bzw. 20-50 Tropfen einnehmen.

Tinkturen.Die Tinkturen sind Auszüge von Pflanzen in feinzerschnittener, zerriebener oder auch grobpulveriger Form mit starkem oder verdünntem Weingeist, mit Ätherweingeist oder bei wenigen Tinkturen oder Arzneimengen mit Südweinen, wie Malaga, Marsala, Samos usw. Aus verschiedenen trockenen Pflanzen hergestellte Tinkturen werden zusammengesetzte Tinkturen genannt. Die Ansätze werden, wenn möglich, in weithalsig Gläsern, Flaschen, in Deckeltöpfen, also in leichtverschließbaren Gefäßen vorgenommen. Zum Verschluß eignet sich Kork, Pergamentpapier und Deckel. Die geeignetste Temperatur bewegt sich zwischen 15 bis Grad Celsius. Höhere Temperaturen sind eher schädlich als nützlich weg der Flüchtigkeit des Alkohols, vor allem aber gefährlich wegen der Flüchtigkeit und Leichtentzündlichkeit der Alkohol- und Ätherdämpfe. Nach mindestens einwöchigem Stehen werden die Tinkturen abgelassen und mit ein Presse ausgepreßt. Nach dem Absetzen wird die Tinktur gefiltert. D Zubereiten einer Tinktur bezeichnet der Volksmund mit Destillieren

Eine Tinktur ist ein dünnflüssiger Essenz aus pflanzlichen oder tierischen Grundstoffen, der mit Ethoxyethan, Spiritus aethereus, Aceton, Wasser oder Alkohol hergestellt wurde. Die beiden verschiedenen Herstellungsverfahren heißen Mazeration und Perkolation (Technik). Eine Tinktur, in der nur eine Pflanze oder ein chemischer Stoff wie beispielsweise Iod gelöst wurde, wird in der Fachsprache Tinctura simplex genannt, bei mehreren gelösten Substanzen spricht man von einer Tinctura composita. Kategorie:Chemie Kategorie:Alternativmedizin

Eine Tinktur ist ein alkoholischer Auszug der Wirkstoffe eines Krauts.

Dafür lässt man die getrockneten oder frischen Pflanzenteile zwei Wochen in einer Mischung aus Alkohol und Wasser ziehen und gießt sie anschließend durch ein Seihtuch oder gibt sie durch eine Weinpresse.

Kommerziell vertriebene Tinkturen werden gewöhnlich aus Äthylalkohol hergestellt. In einigen Ländern ist Äthylalkohol in Apotheken erhältlich, doch in anderen Ländern unterliegt sein Verkauf strengen Richtlinien. Zwar kann man zur Herstellung von Tinkturen sämtliche Alkohole verwenden, doch nicht jeder Alkohol eignet sich zum Trinken, so dass man bei der Herstellung große Sorgfalt walten lassen muss.

Methylalkohol ist extrem giftig, und obwohl einige Bücher die Verwendung von Isopropylalkohol empfehlen, kann auch dieser ausgesprochen giftig sein.

Glyzerin hat den Vorteil, relativ billig und in Apotheken erhältlich zu sein, doch die Tinkturen sind

etwas schleimig. Glyzerin-Tinkturen eignen sich besonders für Kinder, schwangere Frauen und für trockene Alkoholiker.

Am besten eignen sich Weine und Spirituosen, die Sie im Laden kaufen können, zur Herstellung von Tinkturen. Wodka ist ideal, da er nur wenig Geschmacksstoffe enthält.

Standardtinkturen haben einen Alkoholgehalt von 25 %, d. h. 25 ml reiner Alkohol auf 75 ml Wasser.

Dies ist etwas schwächer als bei den meisten im Handel erhältlichen Spirituosen, die häufig einen Alkoholgehalt von 37,5 % haben. Daher muss Wodka etwas mit Wasser verdünnt werden (0,75 l Wodka auf 0,25 l Wasser), um die erforderliche Konzentration zu erreichen. Tinkturen von harzigen Pflanzen wie Rosmarin haben gewöhnlich einen Alkoholgehalt von 45 %. Da man diesen Alkoholgehalt nur schwer zu Hause erzielen kann, sollte man diese Tinkturen im Handel kaufen. Standardtinkturen haben gewöhnlich ein Gewicht-Volumen-Verhältnis von 1:5 (1 kg Kräuter auf 5 Liter Alkohol/Wasser bzw. 500 g auf 2,5 Liter Flüssigkeit).

Für den Hausgebrauch reichen meist 200 g Kräuter auf 1 Liter Flüssigkeit. Aufgrund des Wassergehalts muss man bei frischen Kräutern allerdings die Menge verdreifachen (600 g frische Kräuter auf 1 Liter Flüssigkeit). Geben Sie die Kräuter in ein großes Gefäß, beispielsweise eine große Schüssel, und gießen Sie die Flüssigkeit darüber. Die Mischung wird 2 Wochen an einem kühlen Ort gelagert und täglich geschüttelt. Dann gibt man sie durch ein Seihtuch oder eine Weinpresse. Die Tinktur wird in sauberen, dunklen Glasflaschen gelagert. Kräuterreste können Sie auf den Kompost geben. Tinkturen halten gewöhnlich 2 und mehr Jahre ohne Qualitätsverlust. Im Ayurveda glaubt man sogar, dass sie mit zunehmendem Alter an Wirksamkeit gewinnen.

Artikel

Kräuterwissen

Getrocknete Kräuter haben dieselbe Heilkraft wie frische. Beim Trocknen verdunstet das in der Pflanze enthaltene Wasser und die wirksamen Bestandteile sind danach fester in die Zellstruktur eingebunden.

Wie werden Kräuter getrocknet?

Wenn es sich bei dem Sammelgut um das ganze Kraut handelt, werden die Kräuter in Sträuße gebunden und mit der Blüte nach unten aufgehängt.

Einzelne Pflanzenteile kann man in Schichten trocknen.

Wie verwendet man die Kräuter?

In der Pflanzenheilkunde wird seit jeher mit dem Mörser zerkleinert. Dabei sollten keine Mörser aus Metall verwendet werden, da viele Wirkstoffe der Kräuter auf das Metall chemisch reagieren und unerwünschte Wirkungen nach sich ziehen können.

Vor der Verwendung müssen die Kräuter in kleine Teile zerteilt werden, da die in ihnen enthaltenen Wirkstoffe rasch von Flüssigkeiten aufgenommen werden können. Es empfiehlt sich auch, verholzte und härtere Teile in möglichst kleine Stücke zu zerkleinern.

Tee/ Aufguß

Wird verwandt für empfindliche Pflanzenteile wie Blüten und Kraut Kraut oder Blüten mit kochendem Wasser übergießen, abdecken, ziehen lassen und schließlich abseihen.

Abkochung

Wird verwandt für harte Bestandteile wie Wurzeln, Rinde oder Knollen. Man kocht die Bestandteile auf, läßt sie ziehen und seiht danach ab.

Kaltauszug

Die Bestandteile werden kalt angesetzt, abgedeckt und über Nacht ziehen gelassen. Danach werden sie abgeseiht. Der Kaltauszug wird überwiegend für Schleimdrogen verwandt.

Frischsaft/ Brei

Die Zubereitung von Breien und Säften aus den frisch gesammelten Blättern, Früchten, Wurzeln und Knollen erfolgt mittels eines Mörsers, wobei ein möglichst gleichmäßiger Brei erzielt werden soll.Dieser wird auf ein sauberes, engmaschiges Stofftuch gelegt und dieses zusammengedreht, bis der Saft austritt. Dazu kann auch der Stößel des Mörsers verwendet werden.

Den Brei oder Saft füllt man in Steinguttöpfe, verschließt diese gut und stellt sie kühl. Die Haltbarkeit beträgt etwa acht Tage.

Breiauflage/- umschlag

Auf die zu behandelnde Stelle legt man ein durchlässiges Stofflaken, auf das man den Brei aufträgt. Personen mit weniger empfindlicher Haut brauchen das Stofflaken nicht.

Kräuteröle

Verwandt werden überwiegend Blüten und Blättern aus Pflanzen, die einen hohen Anteil an ätherischen Ölen haben.

Frische Blüten oder Blätter werden in eine Flasche getan, die mit Olivenöl aufgefüllt wird. Kräuteröle sollten zwei bis drei Monde ziehen und danach abgeseiht werden. Das Kräuteröl hält sich etwa dreizehn Monde und wird für die äußerliche Anwendung verwandt.

Salben

Frische Pflanzenbestandteile werden mit einer Grundsubstanz wie z.B. Melkfett oder Schweinefett in einer Pfanne oder einem Topf erhitzt, abgeseiht und die noch flüssige Salbe/ Paste in ein verschließbares Gefäß gefüllt.

Kräutertinkturen

Frische oder getrocknete Kräuter werden in hellem Schnaps angesetzt. Man benutzt dabei dunkle Flaschen und stellt die Mischung an einen warmen Ort, wo sie etwa einen Mond reifen sollte. Ab und zu schütteln, dann abseihen. Innerliche Anwendung.

Frischkräuterpackungen

Frische Kräuter werden in ein Laken getan, mit dem man den Patienten umwickelt.

Inhalation

Das gesamte Kraut, die Blätter oder die Blüten werden in kochendes Wasser gegeben und kurz aufgekocht. Zur Inhalation beugt man sich mit dem Gesicht so dicht wie möglich über das Gefäß mit dem noch heißen Inhalt und umhüllt sich mit einem großen dicken Tuch, so daß keine Luft von außen eindringen kann. Eine Inhalation sollte so lange dauern, bis der Sud sich soweit abgekühlt hat, daß keine heißen Dämpfe mehr aufsteigen.

Rollkuren

Der Aufguß wird heiß getrunken, man legt sich auf den Rücken, dreht sich dann auf die linke Seite, danach auf den Bauch und danach auf die rechte Seite. Die Reihenfolge ist sehr wichtig, da der Aufguß sonst vorzeitig aus dem Magen in den Darm abfließt!

Kurmäßige Anwendung

Die Kräuter sollten kurweise nicht länger als anderthalb Monde verwandt werden, da ansonsten eine Gewöhnung des Körpers auf die Wirkstoffe eintritt. Entweder macht man eine Pause von mindestens ebenfalls anderthalb Monden oder aber manverwendet ein anderes Rezept.

Die Rezepte erheben keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Selbstmedikation ersetzt keinen Arztbesuch! Ersatzansprüche an die Vertreiber dieser Seite oder an den Verfasser dieser Texte können nicht gestellt werden!

Tinktur (Alkoholischer Auszug)

Für eine Tinktur werden Kräuter mit Alkohol und Wasser angesetzt. Tinkturen sollten immer nur aus einer einzelnen Pflanze hergestellt werden; fertige Tinkturen können dann nach Bedarf gemischt werden.Der Alkohol entzieht dem Pflanzenmaterial Inhaltsstoffe, zusätzlich wirkt er als Konservierungsmittel. Tinkturen halten sich bis zu zwei Jahre. Die Flüssigkeit besteht üblicherweise aus 25 % Alkohol und 75 % Wasser. In handelsüblichen Tinkturen wird Äthylalkohol verwendet. Sie können aber auch verdünnte Spirituosen verwenden. Ideal ist Wodka.

Was benötigt man für Tinkturzubereitung?1 Krug mit Maßeinteilung1 großes Glas mit Schraubverschluß1 Musselinbeutel1 Weinpresse1 großen Krug1 sterilisierte, dunkle Glasflasche mit Schraubverschluß

Verwendete Teile: Alle Pflanzenteile

Übliche Menge: 200 g getrocknetes oder 600 g frisches Kräutermaterial auf einen Liter Alkohol-Wasser-Mischung (25 % Alkohol, 75% Wasser; z.B. eine Literflasche Wodka mit 500 ml Wasser verdünnen).

Übliche Dosierung bei einer erwachsenen Person: Drei mal täglich 5 ml Tinktur, mit etwas warmen Wasser verdünnt, einnehmen. Ein wenig Honig oder Fruchtsaft kann den Geschmack verbessern.

Die beschriebenen Dosierungen sind für eine erwachsene Person beschrieben, bitte beachten Sie, daß für Kinder eine andere Dosierung erfolgen muss!!!

Bei älteren Personen, sollte die beschriebene Dosierung um die Hälfte reduziert werden!

Aufbewahrung: In dunklen Glasflaschen bis zu 2 Jahre.

Wie bereitet man eine Tinktur zu?

1.Man füllt in ein Glas die Materialien, und bedeckt diese mit der Alkohol-Wasser-Mischung, das Glas gut verschließen, zwei Wochen kühl aufbewahren, gelegentlich schütteln.

2.Den Musselinbeutel in der Weinpresse auslegen und die Mischung hineingießen.

3.Die Mischung durch die Weinpresse in einen Krug pressen.

4.Die abgeseihte Flüssigkeit in sterilisierte, dunkle Glasflaschen füllen.

Wahrnhinweis!!!Industriealkohol, Brennspiritus und Alkohol zum Einreiben (Isopropylalkohol) sind extrem giftig und dürfen NICHT zur Herstellung von Tinkturen verwendet werden.

Alkohol für Tinkturen

tingere=färben, die Heilpflanzen werden also in einer Flüssigkeit, in diesem Falle Alkohol, gefärbt, ausgezogen und gleichzeitig konserviert; eine geniale Methode, um die Heilkräfte der frisch gepflückten Pflanzen zu erhalten. Selber Tinkturen herzustellen ist einfach und faszinierend. Auch sind Tinkturen sehr konzentriert, lange haltbar und brauchen wenig Platz beim Aufbewahren.Sie sollten immer geeigneten Alkohol vorrätig haben, bei mir sind dies Kernobst und Ethylalkohol (Feinsprit).Die meisten Pflanzen reagieren auf einen Alkoholgehalt von ca. 50 Volumenprozent am besten, d.h. alle Inhaltsstoffe, wasserlösliche, fettlösliche und geringe Mengen Harze, werden gelöst. Bis vor kurzem habe ich ca. 40-prozentigen Alkohol verwendet, doch nun habe ich herausgefunden, dass dies nicht ganz optimal ist, die Tinktur zu schwach aussieht, leicht trüb werden kann und nicht ihre volle Heilkraft etwickelt.

Ein neutraler Alkohol wie Wodka bringt den Eigengeschmack der Tinktur zum Vorschein, doch auch Kernobst oder Steinobst können verwendet werden. Kernobst ist der preiswerteste geeignete einheimische Alkohol.

In der Drogerie bekommen Sie auch günstig 70 %igen Alkohol, welcher jedoch nicht eingenommen werden darf und sich nur für die äusserliche Anwendung eignet.

Ich stelle prinzipiell alle Tinkturen mit Alkohol zum Einnehmen her, um Missgriffe zu v ermeiden.Den Feinsprit kaufe ich in Italien, denn in der Schweiz ist er wegen der hohen Alkoholsteuer unbezahlbar. Im italienischen COOP oder Supermarkt wird er unter Alcohol etilico 95° günstig, für ca. 12 Euro, zur Herstellung von Likören angeboten. Bei einem Ausflug nach Italien bringe ich halt statt Grappa, Martini oder Amaretto einen Liter reinen Alkohol nach Hause.

Alkohol ca. 50 prozentigUm einen Alkoholgehalt von 50% zu erhalten, habe ich eigentlich drei Möglichkeiten:

1. Selbstgebranntes aus einheimischem Obst besitht meist den idealen Gehalt von gut 50% und ergibt die beste Tinktur

2. Feinsprit, resp. Alcohol etilico 95° oder Ethylalkohol verdünne ich 1:1 mit Quellwasser oder

Mineralwasser und erhalte so den gewünschten Alkoholgehalt von 47.5%. Ev. die Alkoholbeigabe etwas höher dosieren bis zu 55%

3. Wodka, Kernobst oder Steinobst verstärke ich mit einer Zugabe von wenig Feinsprit.

FORMULA

The BEST Cayenne Pepper Tincture is made by the following Dr. Schulze Method:

1. Start to make this and ANY Tincture, if possible, on a NEW Moon. (In case of fresh CAYENNE PEPPER )

2. Take a Quart Canning Jar and fill it 1/4 FULL with DRIED Cayenne Peppers, getting the HOTTEST ones (i.e. - Habanero, African Bird, Serrano, Jalapeno - 90,000+ Heat Units), that you can obtain.

3. Add enough 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to the Cayenne Peppers (powdered, using a Blender or Grinder) to just COVER them.

More Herbs for the Heart - Cardiovascular System

Botanical Influences on Cardiovascular Diseaseby Alan L. Miller, N.D.

The best-known herb for the heart in western herbalism is Hawthorn (Crataegus ). The extract of hawthorn can increase blood flow to the heart muscle itself, helping to counteract one of the most common modern causes of death in industrial countries--heart attack due to lack of blood flow to the heart. In pharmacological tests on both animals and humans, hawthorn has been shown to improve the contractility of the heart muscle (which can lead to a stronger pumping action of the heart), increase cardiac performance and output, lower the peripheral vascular resistance (reducing the workload of the heart), steady the heartbeat (antiarrhythmic effect), as well as increasing the heart's tolerance to oxygen deficiency, such as might happen during stress or

excitement, or in diseases where the arteries are partially blocked."

Standardized Hawthorn Extract(Crataegus oxyacantha)

Hawthorn can be used as part of a comprehensive wellness program to promote cardiovascular health. Hawthorn leaf, stem and flower extracts have been shown to promote healthy heart function by improving blood and nutrient flow to the heart muscle. A healthy heart helps maintain healthy blood flow and nutrient delivery throughout the body.

Cayenne- Hawthorn: A synergistic blend of popular cayenne and hawthorn combined with powerful antioxidants Vitamin E and Lecithin.

Surviving a heart attack without hospital interventionA testimonial by Shirley (author of this website)

My husband had a severe heart attack (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION - an area of tissue death due to blocking off of its blood supply). I credit his full recovery to the following: hawthorn berries (crataegus) extract--- 10 drops twice a day; kyolic (aged garlic), magnesium citrate, ginseng, flaxoil, selenium, zinc, vitamins A & E as well as other multi vitamins; and 2 tablespoons of flaxoil. Shirley detail

The Chemistry of Garlic's Health BenefitsEpidemiological and medical studies suggest that individuals regularly consuming garlic show a lower incidence of stomach cancer, have longer blood clotting times and show lower blood lipid levels (which indirectly translates into reduced risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease)
