1. 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 anyother." Dr. Schulze"Cayenne pepper - prized for thousands of years for its healing power. Folklore from around theworld recounts amazing results using cayenne pepper in simple healing and in baffling healthproblems. But cayenne pepper is not just a healer from ancient history. Recent clinical studies havebeen 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. PatrickQuillin The Healing Power of Cayenne PepperIn a recent letter to the editors of the New England Journal of Medicine, three Italian doctorsdescribe 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 theparticipants 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 respectivetreatments for five weeks, and rated their symptoms each day on a scale of zero to three (higherscores indicated more severe symptoms). By the third week, the red pepper group showed asignificant advantage over the control group. And by week five, the pepper groups symptoms haddeclined 60 percent from their baseline scores - while the control groups scores had onlydecreased 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 causedigestive problems and to help people who suffer from cold hands or feet. It alleviates inflammationand 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 stopbleeding and prevent swelling. A source of Vitamin C, it rejuvenates the entire body when energy isdepleted and is such a powerful stimulant that just a few sips of cayenne water or a few grains ofcayenne 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 ownexperience with cayenne, I consider it to be an important ingredient for anybody interested in takingeducated and careful responsibility for his or her own well-being in situations that are not seriousenough to require a doctors care or in circumstances in which medical attention is not immediatelyavailable. "Cayenne pepper for improved blood flowCayenne pepper (also called Capsicum frutescens) is a stimulating herb made from the dried podsof chili peppers and is well known for its pungent taste and smell. Cayenne is a popular spice usedin many different regional styles of cooking, but it has also been used medicinally for thousands ofyears. Cayenne is often referred to as chili, which is the Aztec name for cayenne pepper.cayenneThe main medicinal properties of cayenne are derived from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicinis the ingredient which gives peppers their HEAT. A peppers capsaicin content ranges from0-1.5%. Peppers are measured according to heat units. The degree of heat determines thepeppers usage and value. Generally, the hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. Inaddition 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. 2. 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 fordigestive ailments.When taken internally, cayenne soothes the digestive tract and stimulates the flow of stomachsecretions 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, mastercayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other."Cayenne moves bloodThere 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?" Hetells 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 youwant, but if you have bad circulation to your liver, its not going to do you any good. Cayenneincreases your blood circulation immediately within seconds, more than any other herb.When you have a sick area, theres often a restriction of blood flow to that area. Blood flow is whattakes nutrition and the healing properties of herbs to those cells. Blood flow is also what carries outand removes waste material. Cayenne pepper is like TNT. It blasts through all that blockage to getto that area which is sick, taking with it all the minerals and vitamins from the foods you eat, and allthe 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, thehigher the number of heat units, the more beneficial. The lower-heat cayenne peppers are a lot lessefficient, and they are the ones which are most highly contaminated. These are the ones you seelabeled 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 isthat they blow their mouths with cayenne, right off the bat. For those who have never used cayennepepper before, a good initial dosage is 1/16th of a teaspoonful in some juice. Work your way up indosage slowly. Put a small amount in some juice, stir and drink. Delicious.cayenne pepperCayenne powderIt is recommended that the cayenne powder be used, as opposed to capsules. It is believed thatyou 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 cayenneever 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 a1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in your stomach and your body is shocked. You surprised it.What is going on is that some of cayennes healing action occurs right in your mouth. Ascayenne touches your tongue, the cayenne absorbs in seconds and nerve endings sendsignals 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 ishere. (If the link goes to a blank page, just search their site for cayenne.) I also like Puritan Pridesspecial "Buy 2 Get 3 FREE" promotions on cayenne. 3. I highly recommend the book "The Health Benefits of Cayenne" by John Heinerman if you want tolearn more about the power of cayenne. There is no other herb stronger or more effective thancayenne 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 insomebodys mouth and all of a sudden it makes their faces look like cherries? I dont know anotherherb that will do that, and cayenne does that through your whole body. Use it to improve blood flowthroughout 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, notonly for the entire digestive system, but also for the heart and circulatory system. It acts as acatalyst 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 thecomplete B complexes, and is very rich in organic calcium and potassium, which is one of thereasons it is good for the heart.DigestionCayenne can rebuild the tissue in the stomach and the peristaltic action in the intestines. It aidselimination and assimilation, and helps the body to create hydrochloric acid, which is so necessaryfor good digestion and assimilation, especially of proteins. All this becomes very significant whenwe realize that the digestive system plays the most important role in mental, emotional and physicalhealth, as it is through the digestive system that the brain, glands, muscles and every other part ofthe body are fed.HeartCayenne 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 hismouth. He was pronounced dead by the medics, but within a few minutes, he regainedconsciousness. On the way to the hospital, he remained in a semi-conscious state, but the daughterkept giving him the Cayenne extract. By the time they got to the hospital, he had fully recoveredand wanted to go home and mow the lawn. The doctor asked what she had given him, as he said itwas 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 minutesor a teaspoon of Cayenne in a glass of hot water be taken until the crisis has passed. Dr. Andersonalso knew of a doctor who rushed out into the parking lot and put cayenne tincture into the mouthof a man who had died of a heart attack while he was parking his car. Within a few minutes, themans heart starting beating again.OTHER MEDICINAL USES FOR CAYENNEAcneAlcoholismApoplexy ArteriosclerosisArthritisAsthmaBad breathBleedingBlood purifierBronchitis 4.

He believes that a regimen of cayenne and hawthorn berries forseveral months will greatly strengthen the heart, and possibly prevent heart attacks. He statesfurther that if an attack were to occur in someone who had followed this regimen, chances are verygood 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. Herdiet 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 shecould survive for more than a few weeks if they didnt 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 ofmoney to be made. So they decided to take some tests in the hopes that they could find an excuseto operate. In spite of the fact that she had been taking lots of aspirin for her arthritis, smoked likeshe was the reincarnation of a boiler factory, and had just had a heart attack, they found that herheart was incredibly strong. In fact, they felt that her heart was stronger than most people in their30s! The good news was that not only did she survive the operation, but also she stopped smoking!Well worth the operation, dont you think? In my opinion, that was the best thing the doctors ever didfor her. Well, that is what hawthorn and cayenne can do for the heart, and every good herbalistknows it; every good doctor should also know it, but very few do.EmergenciesIt is a good idea to always have some Cayenne extract on hand for emergencies. Dr. Andersoncarries capsules of cayenne with him in the car and whenever he goes hiking, backpacking ormountain climbing. He says, You never know when you may find someone having a heart attack orsome other emergency.The following stories demonstrate only a few of the remarkable emergencyuses of cayenne.If a hemorrhage occurs in the lungs, stomach, uterus or nose, it is suggested that a teaspoon ofextract (or a teaspoon of cayenne powder in a cup of hot water) be given every 15 minutes until the 5. crisis has passed. The bleeding should stop in 10-30 seconds. The reason for this is that ratherthan the blood pressure being centralized, it is equalized by the Cayenne, and the clotting action ofthe blood becomes more rapid. For external bleeding, take cayenne internally and pour cayennedirectly 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 chronicasthma. Dr. John Christopher administered the cayenne using an eyedropper, and it then becamepossible for the baby to breathe normally.Dr. Christopher has used cayenne to eliminate allergies, varicose veins, cramps, constipation, andto increase energy.Dr. Anderson recommends cayenne to help cleanse the body, increase body heat, improvecirculation, and strengthen the eyes. But above all, Dr. Anderson feels that cayenne isexceptionally 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 lostone heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in--if they are still breathing--I pour downthem a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutesthey 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 ofprocessed food we are eating, but here it gets a good powerful dose of real food and its somethingthat has brought people in time after time. This is something that everyone should know how great itis, because a heart attack can come to your friends or loved ones any time. And even yourself. Thewarm tea is faster working than tablets, capsules, cold tea, because the warm tea opens up the cellstructure--makes it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster, and it goes directly to theheart, through the artery system, and feeds it in powerful food. "EMERGENCY USES 1Compiled And Edited By Tom HarrelsonTHERAPEUTIC ACTIONCAYENNE is a POWERFUL and PURE Stimulant, having NO Narcotic Effect, increasing thePOWER of the Pulse and carrying the Blood to ALL parts of the Body, plus EQUALIZING andRESTORING the BALANCE of Circulation throughout the Body! Cayenne is a Hemostat,ARRESTING the flow of Blood from a Cut or Wound in SECONDS and a Cardiac Tonic, HELPINGto REBUILD the Heart.It is an Antiseptic, KILLING Pathogens and a Counter-Irritant, helping to RELIEVE Pain.And Cayenne is a Stomachic, HELPING to DIGEST Foods and a Carminative, HELPING to EXPELGas. CAYENNE PEPPER IS DR. SCHULZES NO. 1 EMERGENCY HERB! 6. EMERGENCY USES 2The late herbalist and author John Christopher always carried a pocketful of cayenne peppercapsules and saved the lives of many people who had a sudden heart attack in his presence. Justopen the capsules and dump the cayenne under the tongue. Author Dick Quinn, having failed torecover from a Quadruple Bypass operation and told by his doctors that nothing could savehim, managed to prolong his life 17 years by the regular ingestion of cayenne pepper. I carrycayenne 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. Schulzehas saved many from heart damage by this technology, as this story taken from Herbal Therapy forSerious 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 50s 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 hadarrived. His car was parked in the driveway and it looked as if he was sleeping in it. When she wentout to wake him up and bring him in, she became hysterical. She came running in and told me hewas dead. I ran out to the car and he was beyond blue, he was slate-grey, cold, and did look dead. Isaw no breathing and felt no pulse. I put 12 whole dropperfulls of cayenne tincture into the mouth ofthis literally dead man.Biser: Isnt that way too much? Couldnt that hurt him?Schulze: Who Cares if the man has a sore throat for a week afterward? If you dont dosomething in seconds, then hes definitely dead.Biser: So what happened?Schulze: His face began to turn red - before I even started CPR, and we revived him inseconds. The paramedics took him to the hospital, and later I talked with the emergency roomphysician. He said that he had rarely seen a person who was so far gone, survive. And, he hadnever seen a person that bad, who had literally no heart damage. I think this can also be attributedto the fact that this man had been taking hawthorn berry concentrates, for months before he evercame to see me. Hawthorn is a known heart protectant. Heres my point on this whole case: I gave this man 360 drops (30-40 drops per dropperful) ofcayenne tincture. This is a dose no one would dream of. Everyone else wimps around with a coupleof dropperfuls - and to tell you the truth, they wouldnt even know to use it at all in this situation.Secondly, this wasnt ordinary cayenne tincture. This was tincture so powerful it makes the stuff youcan 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 40,000Heat units that herbal companies sell you. Add enough 40%-alcohol vodka to just cover thesechopped 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 theFull moon, strain it off through a clean old tee shirt, pressing and straining real tight. Wash yourhands well. The cayenne stays on your hand, so wash your hands three times. I let almost all of mytinctures sit for three full months before I strain them.RECETA TINCTURA TINKTUR enALEMAN 7. Tinktur-Ansatz Da ich immer wieder auf selbstgemachte Tinkturen verweise, gibt es hier einGrundrezept zum "brauen" eigener Tinkturen.1. Sammel ein Glas voll Heilkruter (oder kauf sie).2. Gie einen hochprozentigen klaren Schnaps (z.B. Doppelkorn oder Wodka) ber die Kruter,bis sie bedeckt sind.3. Verschlie das Glas.4. Stell es an einen sonnigen, warmen Platz5. Warte ca. 10 Tage6. Filter die Tinktur ab (z.B. mit Kaffeefilter).7. Giee sie in eine dunkle Flasche.8. Beschrifte die Flasche mit Inhalt und Datum(Wichtig! Man vergit sehr leicht, was drin ist, wenn kein Etikett drauf ist).Von der fertigen Tinktur kannst du dann z.B. 3 mal tglich 1-2 Teelffel voll bzw. 20-50 Tropfeneinnehmen.Tinkturen.Die Tinkturen sind Auszge von Pflanzen in feinzerschnittener, zerriebener oder auchgrobpulveriger Form mit starkem oder verdnntem Weingeist, mit therweingeist oder bei wenigenTinkturen oder Arzneimengen mit Sdweinen, wie Malaga, Marsala, Samos usw. Ausverschiedenen trockenen Pflanzen hergestellte Tinkturen werden zusammengesetzte Tinkturengenannt. Die Anstze werden, wenn mglich, in weithalsig Glsern, Flaschen, in Deckeltpfen, alsoin leichtverschliebaren Gefen vorgenommen. Zum Verschlu eignet sich Kork,Pergamentpapier und Deckel. Die geeignetste Temperatur bewegt sich zwischen 15 bis GradCelsius. Hhere Temperaturen sind eher schdlich als ntzlich weg der Flchtigkeit des Alkohols,vor allem aber gefhrlich wegen der Flchtigkeit und Leichtentzndlichkeit der Alkohol- undtherdmpfe. Nach mindestens einwchigem Stehen werden die Tinkturen abgelassen und mit einPresse ausgepret. Nach dem Absetzen wird die Tinktur gefiltert. D Zubereiten einer Tinkturbezeichnet der Volksmund mit Destillieren Eine Tinktur ist ein dnnflssiger Essenz aus pflanzlichen oder tierischen Grundstoffen, der mitEthoxyethan, Spiritus aethereus, Aceton, Wasser oder Alkohol hergestellt wurde. Die beidenverschiedenen Herstellungsverfahren heien Mazeration und Perkolation (Technik). Eine Tinktur, inder nur eine Pflanze oder ein chemischer Stoff wie beispielsweise Iod gelst wurde, wird in derFachsprache Tinctura simplex genannt, bei mehreren gelsten Substanzen spricht man von einerTinctura composita. Kategorie:Chemie Kategorie:AlternativmedizinEine Tinktur ist ein alkoholischer Auszug der Wirkstoffe eines Krauts.Dafr lsst man die getrockneten oder frischen Pflanzenteile zwei Wochen in einer Mischung ausAlkohol und Wasser ziehen und giet sie anschlieend durch ein Seihtuch oder gibt sie durch eineWeinpresse. Kommerziell vertriebene Tinkturen werden gewhnlich aus thylalkohol hergestellt. In einigenLndern ist thylalkohol in Apotheken erhltlich, doch in anderen Lndern unterliegt sein Verkaufstrengen Richtlinien. Zwar kann man zur Herstellung von Tinkturen smtliche Alkohole verwenden,doch nicht jeder Alkohol eignet sich zum Trinken, so dass man bei der Herstellung groe Sorgfaltwalten lassen muss.Methylalkohol ist extrem giftig, und obwohl einige Bcher die Verwendung vonIsopropylalkohol empfehlen, kann auch dieser ausgesprochen giftig sein.Glyzerin hat den Vorteil, relativ billig und in Apotheken erhltlich zu sein, doch die Tinkturen sind 8. etwas schleimig. Glyzerin-Tinkturen eignen sich besonders fr Kinder, schwangere Frauen und frtrockene Alkoholiker. Am besten eignen sich Weine und Spirituosen, die Sie im Laden kaufen knnen, zur Herstellungvon Tinkturen. Wodka ist ideal, da er nur wenig Geschmacksstoffe enthlt.Standardtinkturen haben einen Alkoholgehalt von 25 %, d. h. 25 ml reinerAlkohol auf 75 ml Wasser.Dies ist etwas schwcher als bei den meisten im Handel erhltlichen Spirituosen, die hufig einenAlkoholgehalt von 37,5 % haben. Daher muss Wodka etwas mit Wasser verdnnt werden (0,75 lWodka auf 0,25 l Wasser), um die erforderliche Konzentration zu erreichen. Tinkturen von harzigenPflanzen wie Rosmarin haben gewhnlich einen Alkoholgehalt von 45 %. Da man diesenAlkoholgehalt nur schwer zu Hause erzielen kann, sollte man diese Tinkturen im Handel kaufen.Standardtinkturen haben gewhnlich ein Gewicht-Volumen-Verhltnis von 1:5 (1 kg Kruter auf 5Liter Alkohol/Wasser bzw. 500 g auf 2,5 Liter Flssigkeit). Fr den Hausgebrauch reichen meist 200 g Kruter auf 1 Liter Flssigkeit. Aufgrund desWassergehalts muss man bei frischen Krutern allerdings die Menge verdreifachen (600 g frischeKruter auf 1 Liter Flssigkeit). Geben Sie die Kruter in ein groes Gef, beispielsweise einegroe Schssel, und gieen Sie die Flssigkeit darber. Die Mischung wird 2 Wochen an einemkhlen Ort gelagert und tglich geschttelt. Dann gibt man sie durch ein Seihtuch oder eineWeinpresse. Die Tinktur wird in sauberen, dunklen Glasflaschen gelagert. Kruterreste knnen Sieauf den Kompost geben. Tinkturen halten gewhnlich 2 und mehr Jahre ohne Qualittsverlust. ImAyurveda glaubt man sogar, dass sie mit zunehmendem Alter an Wirksamkeit gewinnen.ArtikelKruterwissenGetrocknete Kruter haben dieselbe Heilkraft wie frische. Beim Trocknen verdunstet das in derPflanze enthaltene Wasser und die wirksamen Bestandteile sind danach fester in die Zellstruktureingebunden.Wie werden Kruter getrocknet?Wenn es sich bei dem Sammelgut um das ganze Kraut handelt, werden die Kruter in Struegebunden und mit der Blte nach unten aufgehngt.Einzelne Pflanzenteile kann man in Schichten trocknen.Wie verwendet man die Kruter?In der Pflanzenheilkunde wird seit jeher mit dem Mrser zerkleinert. Dabei sollten keine Mrser ausMetall verwendet werden, da viele Wirkstoffe der Kruter auf das Metall chemisch reagieren undunerwnschte Wirkungen nach sich ziehen knnen.Vor der Verwendung mssen die Kruter in kleine Teile zerteilt werden, da die in ihnen enthaltenenWirkstoffe rasch von Flssigkeiten aufgenommen werden knnen. Es empfiehlt sich auch, verholzteund hrtere Teile in mglichst kleine Stcke zu zerkleinern.Tee/ Aufgu 9. Wird verwandt fr empfindliche Pflanzenteile wie Blten und Kraut Kraut oder Blten mitkochendem Wasser bergieen, abdecken, ziehen lassen und schlielich abseihen.AbkochungWird verwandt fr harte Bestandteile wie Wurzeln, Rinde oder Knollen. Man kocht die Bestandteileauf, lt sie ziehen und seiht danach ab.KaltauszugDie Bestandteile werden kalt angesetzt, abgedeckt und ber Nacht ziehen gelassen. Danachwerden sie abgeseiht. Der Kaltauszug wird berwiegend fr Schleimdrogen verwandt.Frischsaft/ BreiDie Zubereitung von Breien und Sften aus den frisch gesammelten Blttern, Frchten, Wurzelnund Knollen erfolgt mittels eines Mrsers, wobei ein mglichst gleichmiger Brei erzielt werdensoll.Dieser wird auf ein sauberes, engmaschiges Stofftuch gelegt und dieses zusammengedreht, bis derSaft austritt. Dazu kann auch der Stel des Mrsers verwendet werden.Den Brei oder Saft fllt man in Steinguttpfe, verschliet diese gut und stellt sie khl. DieHaltbarkeit betrgt etwa acht Tage.Breiauflage/- umschlagAuf die zu behandelnde Stelle legt man ein durchlssiges Stofflaken, auf das man den Brei auftrgt.Personen mit weniger empfindlicher Haut brauchen das Stofflaken nicht.KruterleVerwandt werden berwiegend Blten und Blttern aus Pflanzen, die einen hohen Anteil antherischen len haben.Frische Blten oder Bltter werden in eine Flasche getan, die mit Olivenl aufgefllt wird. Kruterlesollten zwei bis drei Monde ziehen und danach abgeseiht werden. Das Kruterl hlt sich etwadreizehn Monde und wird fr die uerliche Anwendung verwandt.SalbenFrische Pflanzenbestandteile werden mit einer Grundsubstanz wie z.B. Melkfett oder Schweinefettin einer Pfanne oder einem Topf erhitzt, abgeseiht und die noch flssige Salbe/ Paste in einverschliebares Gef gefllt.KrutertinkturenFrische oder getrocknete Kruter werden in hellem Schnaps angesetzt. Man benutzt dabei dunkleFlaschen und stellt die Mischung an einen warmen Ort, wo sie etwa einen Mond reifen sollte. Abund zu schtteln, dann abseihen. Innerliche Anwendung.FrischkruterpackungenFrische Kruter werden in ein Laken getan, mit dem man den Patienten umwickelt.Inhalation 10. Das gesamte Kraut, die Bltter oder die Blten werden in kochendes Wasser gegeben und kurzaufgekocht. Zur Inhalation beugt man sich mit dem Gesicht so dicht wie mglich ber das Gef mitdem noch heien Inhalt und umhllt sich mit einem groen dicken Tuch, so da keine Luft vonauen eindringen kann. Eine Inhalation sollte so lange dauern, bis der Sud sich soweit abgekhlthat, da keine heien Dmpfe mehr aufsteigen.RollkurenDer Aufgu wird hei getrunken, man legt sich auf den Rcken, dreht sich dann auf die linke Seite,danach auf den Bauch und danach auf die rechte Seite. Die Reihenfolge ist sehr wichtig, da derAufgu sonst vorzeitig aus dem Magen in den Darm abfliet!Kurmige AnwendungDie Kruter sollten kurweise nicht lnger als anderthalb Monde verwandt werden, da ansonsteneine Gewhnung des Krpers auf die Wirkstoffe eintritt. Entweder macht man eine Pause vonmindestens ebenfalls anderthalb Monden oder aber manverwendet ein anderes Rezept.Die Rezepte erheben keinen Anspruch auf Vollstndigkeit. Selbstmedikation ersetzt keinenArztbesuch! Ersatzansprche an die Vertreiber dieser Seite oder an den Verfasser dieser Texteknnen nicht gestellt werden!Tinktur (Alkoholischer Auszug)Fr eine Tinktur werden Kruter mit Alkohol und Wasser angesetzt. Tinkturen sollten immer nur auseiner einzelnen Pflanze hergestellt werden; fertige Tinkturen knnen dann nach Bedarf gemischtwerden.Der Alkohol entzieht dem Pflanzenmaterial Inhaltsstoffe, zustzlich wirkt er alsKonservierungsmittel. Tinkturen halten sich bis zu zwei Jahre. Die Flssigkeit besteht blicherweiseaus 25 % Alkohol und 75 % Wasser. In handelsblichen Tinkturen wird thylalkohol verwendet. Sieknnen aber auch verdnnte Spirituosen verwenden. Ideal ist Wodka.Was bentigt man fr Tinkturzubereitung?1 Krug mit Maeinteilung1 groes Glas mit Schraubverschlu1 Musselinbeutel1 Weinpresse1 groen Krug1 sterilisierte, dunkle Glasflasche mit SchraubverschluVerwendete Teile: Alle Pflanzenteilebliche Menge: 200 g getrocknetes oder 600 g frisches Krutermaterial auf einen Liter Alkohol-Wasser-Mischung (25 % Alkohol, 75% Wasser; z.B. eine Literflasche Wodka mit 500 ml Wasserverdnnen).bliche Dosierung bei einer erwachsenen Person: Drei mal tglich 5 ml Tinktur, mit etwas warmenWasser verdnnt, einnehmen. Ein wenig Honig oder Fruchtsaft kann den Geschmack verbessern.Die beschriebenen Dosierungen sind fr eine erwachsene Person beschrieben, bitte beachten Sie,da fr Kinder eine andere Dosierung erfolgen muss!!! 11. Bei lteren Personen, sollte die beschriebene Dosierung um die Hlfte reduziert werden!Aufbewahrung: In dunklen Glasflaschen bis zu 2 Jahre.Wie bereitet man eine Tinktur zu?1.Man fllt in ein Glas die Materialien, und bedeckt diese mit der Alkohol-Wasser-Mischung, dasGlas gut verschlieen, zwei Wochen khl aufbewahren, gelegentlich schtteln.2.Den Musselinbeutel in der Weinpresse auslegen und die Mischung hineingieen.3.Die Mischung durch die Weinpresse in einen Krug pressen.4.Die abgeseihte Flssigkeit in sterilisierte, dunkle Glasflaschen fllen.Wahrnhinweis!!!Industriealkohol, Brennspiritus und Alkohol zum Einreiben (Isopropylalkohol) sind extrem giftig unddrfen NICHT zur Herstellung von Tinkturen verwendet werden.Alkohol fr Tinkturentingere=frben, die Heilpflanzen werden also in einer Flssigkeit, in diesem Falle Alkohol, gefrbt,ausgezogen und gleichzeitig konserviert; eine geniale Methode, um die Heilkrfte der frischgepflckten Pflanzen zu erhalten. Selber Tinkturen herzustellen ist einfach und faszinierend. Auchsind Tinkturen sehr konzentriert, lange haltbar und brauchen wenig Platz beim Aufbewahren.Sie sollten immer geeigneten Alkohol vorrtig 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, wasserlsliche, fettlsliche und geringe Mengen Harze, werden gelst. Bisvor 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 trb werden kann und nichtihre volle Heilkraft etwickelt.Ein neutraler Alkohol wie Wodka bringt den Eigengeschmack der Tinktur zum Vorschein, doch auchKernobst oder Steinobst knnen verwendet werden. Kernobst ist der preiswerteste geeigneteeinheimische Alkohol.In der Drogerie bekommen Sie auch gnstig 70 %igen Alkohol, welcher jedoch nicht eingenommenwerden darf und sich nur fr die usserliche 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 Alkoholsteuerunbezahlbar. Im italienischen COOP oder Supermarkt wird er unter Alcohol etilico 95 gnstig, frca. 12 Euro, zur Herstellung von Likren angeboten. Bei einem Ausflug nach Italien bringe ich haltstatt Grappa, Martini oder Amaretto einen Liter reinen Alkohol nach Hause.Alkohol ca. 50 prozentigUm einen Alkoholgehalt von 50% zu erhalten, habe ich eigentlich drei Mglichkeiten:1.Selbstgebranntes aus einheimischem Obst besitht meist den idealen Gehalt von gut 50%und ergibt die beste Tinktur2.Feinsprit, resp. Alcohol etilico 95 oder Ethylalkohol verdnne ich 1:1 mit Quellwasser oder 12. Mineralwasser und erhalte so den gewnschten Alkoholgehalt von 47.5%. Ev. die Alkoholbeigabeetwas hher dosieren bis zu 55%3.Wodka, Kernobst oder Steinobst verstrke ich mit einer Zugabe von wenig Feinsprit.FORMULAThe 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 CAYENNEPEPPER )2. Take a Quart Canning Jar and fill it 1/4 FULL with DRIED Cayenne Peppers, getting theHOTTEST ones (i.e. - Habanero, African Bird, Serrano, Jalapeno - 90,000+ Heat Units), that youcan obtain.3.

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 oneof the most common modern causes of death in industrial countries--heart attack due to lack ofblood flow to the heart. In pharmacological tests on both animals and humans, hawthorn has beenshown to improve the contractility of the heart muscle (which can lead to a stronger pumping actionof 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 asincreasing the hearts tolerance to oxygen deficiency, such as might happen during stress or 17. 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 cardiovascularhealth. Hawthorn leaf, stem and flower extracts have been shown to promote healthy heart functionby improving blood and nutrient flow to the heart muscle. A healthy heart helps maintain healthyblood flow and nutrient delivery throughout the body.Cayenne- Hawthorn: A synergistic blend of popular cayenne and hawthorn combined withpowerful 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 dueto 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. ShirleydetailThe Chemistry of Garlics Health BenefitsEpidemiological and medical studies suggest that individuals regularly consuming garlic show alower incidence of stomach cancer, have longer blood clotting times and show lower blood lipidlevels (which indirectly translates into reduced risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease)
