1 Shot Hits the Spot…Open Arteries! Dr. Mandell

Ann B says:

@Jasmine el fiky Yes it’s a fine red powder which derives from moderately hot chili peppers and contains capsaicin which is a compound that gives them their “heat”. It’s useful for all kinds of purposes like increasing metabolism which can help with weight loss, it also aids in digestion, reduces high blood pressure, topical capsaicin can improve skin conditions and more. It contains many antioxidants and vitamins. I use it in the wintertime if or when I get a sore throat by putting a half a teaspoon in a half a glass of warm water and then gargle with it as it gets rid of it in no time. I will occasionally add a pinch to my hot tea if I feel a cold coming on or if I have a cold and it really seems to take care of it. Sorry I didn’t mean to go on and on. It’s just a really neat spice that is good for way more than cooking 🙂🩷.
