A Powerful Circulatory Stimulant for Digestion, Pain Relief & Metabolic Support

✔️ Metabolic & weight balance: May aid fat metabolism and support thermogenesis
✔️ Pain relief (topical & internal): Used for joint pain, muscle soreness, and nerve discomfort
✔️ Immune system support: Traditionally used to break up congestion and warm the body during colds
✔️ Detoxification & lymphatic movement: Enhances blood flow and supports the body's natural detox pathways
How to Use
🌶️ Tea/Infusion: Steep a small amount of cayenne in warm water with lemon for a circulatory boost
🌶️ Tincture: A concentrated extract for heart health, digestion, and pain relief
🌶️ Capsules: A convenient way to support metabolism and overall vitality
🌶️ Topical Use (Capsaicin Creams & Oils): Used externally for joint and muscle pain relief
🌶️ Culinary Use: Adds heat and digestive stimulation to food, soups, and spice blends
