denboy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Has anyone come acroos cayenne pepper on sale in Pattaya. I've checked out Foodland, Carrefour & Tops without success. Anybody?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) I haven't noticed it packaged as cayenne but I haven't been looking for it either. I wouldn't expect it to be so hard to find here though. I am curious why you can't just use those dried Asian red peppers smashed up instead or the Thai red chile powder? You are looking for the dried powder or flaked, correct? Edited January 31, 2009 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGW Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Occasionally, though prefer the sharper flavour of razor blades Seriously, Cayenne has many health benefits, as OP probably knows, but it is too cheap to be marketed as such.... Perfect supplement for a Pattaya lifestyle Cayenne is the strongest of the capsicum family and is one of the greatest herbs on the planet. It's health benefits are often ignored or ridiculed by the general public, like garlic, due to its culinary use and associations. It is the number one circulatory herb, being extremely effective and totally harmless. Natural Remedy for the Circulation It has a total effect on the circulation and performs all the main actions required of a natural circulatory remedy. It prevents stickiness of blood platelets, considerably reducing the tendency to clot and has a resolving action on existent thrombosis. This is remarkable in view of the fact that it rapidly stops internal and external hemorrhage. It cleans the blood vessels making long term use or regular courses a rejuvenator of the circulation. It can have a wonderful effect on brain clarity and memory, especially for the elderly by its normalising effect on the circulation to that most vital organ! This normalising effect means that any areas of the body that are deficient in blood supply, such as the brain, will receive fresh vitalising blood to renew and restore. The normalising effect also means that high blood pressure will tend to be reduced and low blood pressure raised. Cases of gangrene have been reported cured by this wonderful herb. Cayenne and Heart Attacks This herb even has the capability to abort some types of heart attack and angina. (If a blood clot is not the major cause.) For example when there is pain in the heart and the left arm (angina) and more severely, a crushing pain (like an elephant sitting on the chest), sipping a glass of hot water into which a teaspoon of cayenne has previously been infused (i.e. by bringing the water to the boil with one teaspoon of cayenne added, and leaving to infuse for a few minutes) will, in many cases abort the attack within minutes. Regular use of a sufficient dose of cayenne will keep these individuals free of heart attacks for many years, possibly for life, with those of this susceptibility. (One does not have to endure the burning taste of the hot water method for regular use, encapsulation being the preferred option!). This action of Cayenne is due to its ability to help oxygenate the tissues, combined with an antispasmodic property. Adequate tissue oxygenation is one of the prime factors in health maintenance, especially relevant with the elderly. Its action on the heart goes even further to help produce a regular heart beat. Cayenne and Digestion Another valuable effect of capsicum is on the digestion. It is actually good for the stomach. Indigestion, poor digestion and even stomach ulcers are all improved or rectified. (It is possibly due to its antiseptic properties that the bacteria involved in stomach ulcer cases is eliminated). So contrary to what is sometimes believed, cayenne will not harm the stomach or other internal organs, but only aid function. It has a stimulating effect where there is sluggishness of the digestion or circulation, yet normalises high blood pressure. It is used in many herbal formulations, even those not aimed at the digestion or circulation, since it is used to help circulate or 'carry' the other herbs around the body. Cayenne helps maintain the presence of blood within the vessels, and to provide a balance of white blood cells, therefore supporting the lymph system. It is an effective remedy for 'piles' by equalising circulation to the anus. It is also very beneficial for circulatory disorders of the extremities, including the legs, such as claudication, varicose veins etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
