Believe it or not, you can use cayenne peppers to stop bleeding immediately, even in just 10 seconds.
How to use cayenne peppers for small external wounds?
Take a little cayenne pepper powder and put directly into the bleeding wound or laceration. Bleeding should stop immediately.
What to do for big wounds?
If it is a larger wound, take a teaspoon of red pepper powder, dispersed in a glass of warm water and drink it fast. If you don’t want your mouth on fire, dissolving a teaspoon of cayenne into the juice of half a lemon and a dash of maple syrup will take the edge off.
How it works?
The reason it works is because cayenne pepper reacts with the body to equalize the blood pressure, meaning an extra gushing of pressure will not be concentrated in the wound area as it normally is. Blood will quickly clot when the pressure is equalized.
Besides! cayenne pepper is a remarkable herb with uses that go far beyond treating wounds. It has anti- inflammatory, anti- allergen, anti-fungal and anti-irritant properties. It also contains vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin C, as well as beta-carotene, manganese and potassium, which are good for overall health.
