It is always best to have the botanical latin name for your herb to know it is the correct plant. The latin name for cayenne is Capsicum annuum. California Anehiem pepers are a green chili not a hot red pepper. There many varities of hot peppers and peppers. Red peppers are usually called red bell peppers and are a sister to the green bell peppers at the grocery store. They are a sweet pepper not hot. To learn more get online and google different plants. We also carry excellent books at The School of Natural Healing, or better yet check out the Family Herbalist Program at snh.cc It is very easy to get a true cayenne pepper at the health food store.

This has been mentioned in some of your articles but not directly answered. In California it is hard to find regular cayenne pepper. Many different types of ground red pepper are sold and not all are differentiated from each other. They are sometimes called red pepper, California chili pepper, red chili pepper and Arbol pepper, among others. And truth be told, they can have a different look, smell and (substantially different) price. Can any one of these substitute for cayenne with all of its health benefits? If they can't be substituted, is there a way to tell the real thing? Most don't even mention the scoville heat scale. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks.

A great resource to have is the book School of Natural Healing by Dr. John R. Christopher. For instance the common names of cayenne pepper are: African pepper, African red pepper, American red pepper, bird pepper, casicum, cayenne pepper,and Spanish Pepper. Jalepeno, Habenero, Serrano, are in the same family but a green hot pepper not cayenne. You will still have many of the same medicinal properties but it is not a true cayenne so your results may vary. The whole fruit should be used seeds and all ground together. In making a tinture or an alcohol extract you do not remove the alcohol. When I take cayenne tincture I will put the tincture in a cup and then I will put a tablespoon of boiling water in to evaporate the alcohol off unless in an emergency situation then I take it straight.

It says to use the hottest peppers you can find, and then lists these peppers: African Bird, African Red, African Pepper, Cayenne, Spanish Pepper, Capsique, Spanish Pfeffer, Taxonamy, Habenero, Thai, Red Savina, Carribean Red, Purira, Jalepeno, Serrano. I have always made mine with Habenero, Serrano and Jalepeno mixed together. Someone recently questioned whether this was a true "Cayenne Tincture" as it wasn't the true Cayenne Pepper. I am curious.... Does my Tincture have the same healing qualities of "Cayenne Tincture"?... Are these peppers considered Cayenne Peppers? Thanks for any information anyone can give.

Could you please tell me how to do this as I have never made anything like this before. Also I would like to tell you about my "accident" and how good cayenne pepper is. I was doing some tile work and my right thumb, in the area of the large joint, was gashed about 1/4 inch wide aand about 1/2 inch long. Needless to say I was bleed profusly so I immediately applied a large amount of cayenne pepper to the wound and covered it with a cloth. The belleding stopped almost immediately, and the pain almost stopped. After a few days the wound was healed and there was NO scar where the gash had been!! Great stuff cayenne...AND a GREAT HEALER is/was Dr. Christopher who educated me about cayenne...as well as other herbs, etc. Thank you all.
