Capsicum, Cayenne, Jalapeno! Me mind on fire, feeling HOT HOT HOT!?
I'm 40 and enjoy just started to take this because of its condition benefits. But I have heard that too much can bring down kidneys and liver. How much IS too much? I have taken a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a mug of hot sea (infused for a few minutes of course) and although hot I managed it. Will this do me harm if I adopt it as a on a daily basis health thing?
Answer: Thats zilch you are fine.
Your dosing doesn't sound like you will injury your liver or kidney, but you could disrupt the Yin/Yang balance of your body by using this herb daily. If you start have night sweats, or headaches, you may want to reassess and switch to a true herbal tonic for long-term use.
