I am so excited about this, but first some background.
I have, as some of you know, have suffered migraines for years. If I eat the way I should and get a decent amount of rest I don't have them at all. Of course like most of you, I don't always do what I should even when I know what's best. I started having migraines again and started taking migraine medicine. Because it has aspirin and caffeine combined it gives me and a lot of other people stomach ulcers.
The other day I was reading something (sorry I don't remember what) and it talked about capsaicin healing stomach ulcers. Like most of you I don't really do cayenne, at least not to the point that it would be useful. I remembered a friend of mine, Mushirah, telling me about making your own gel capsules. Thanks Mushirah!!!
Again, this idea came back to me because of lack of funds. I already had more cayenne than I could possibly use. I bought the capsules for about $7 (I'll find them cheaper later) and sat down at the table to pack them with hot smoking magic!!!
BE CAREFUL WHEN PACKING CAPSULES WITH CAYENNE!!! Don't touch your face PERIOD!!! I didn't and it still made me sneeze and the "dust" got in my nose and down my throat. It was bad, but I can only imagine if I forgot and touched my face. Anyhoo, I gave one to my husband. He said his burned going down, but I think he got one of the ones I packed before realizing that they kind of "lock" in place. Mine didn't burn at all. So usually when I'm hungry and once I start eating my stomach begins to hurt really bad. I was bracing myself for it the entire time. Btw, I made some slammin' cauliflower mashed "potatoes". Everybody loved them. Back on topic, my stomach is still pain free and I am SO happy!!!
Hope this helps somebody else along the way. Now, I will say this as a note. Herbal remedies only work or work best when you already have a healthy lifestyle. Otherwise you can take them as much as you want and never reap the benefits.
