The hotter the better. Hot peppers contain a substance called capsaicin. Capsaicin is in fact what makes peppers hot. Pure capsaicin is so hot that at a concentration of one drop for 100,000 gallons of water, it produces blisters on the tongue. But not to worry, the peppers we eat have only a small fraction of pure capsaicin, even the hottest ones available in most markets such as jalapeno or cayenne. To help your headache, try these natural remedies. Put red peppers--jalapeno or cayenne in a bottle, pour olive oil in it. Let it sit for several days. Use the resulting "hot oil" on sauces, on meats, on anything you like the next time you get a headache. In a pinch, try slicing up some hot peppers or sprinkling some pepper powder or flakes on your favorite soup. Your headache should start to lift right away. By the way, contrary to popular belief, peppers do not give you ulcers. Sign Up Now--it's free, fast and easy. |
