Cayenne is a warming herb, heart tonic, and digestive aid. It releases hormones
that improve the mood. It is beneficial for treating sore throats, colds and flu, poor
circulation, achy joints, rheumatism, arthritis, and muscle strains. It is a general

Using the Garden
One of the most important points to remember is to preserve the harvest of your
medicinal garden. You may go all summer never needing the plants growing here,
only to be hit with poor health just as the garden dies for the winter. Having a
supply of medicinal herbs stored will protect you through those months when
nothing grows.
