Cayenne pepper is famous for its vasodilating (vessel-opening) properties. It rapidly expands blood vessels, which enhances the stream of blood. Speedier and more active flow takes the pressure off the arteries. Cayenne pepper opens up blood vessels and helps increase circulation. According to folk medicine, cayenne pepper acts as a blood detoxifier, too, and has blood thinner qualities. A daily recommended dosages for cayenne pepper powder have not been established, thus it is important to consult a physician before adding it regularly to your diet. Capsaicin supplements are an alternative, as well.
