... Cayenne Pepper is just the hot and spicy boost the doctor ordered. It increases metabolism, may reduce inflammation and may lower pain.

Other benefits of Cayenne Pepper include:
- It aids in breaking up and moving congested mucus.
- It stimulates the digestive tract, increasing the flow of enzyme production and gastric juices.
- It's an excellent preservative and has been used traditionally to prevent food contamination from bacteria.

Fun Fact: Christopher Columbus encountered these peppers on his explorations of the Caribbean Islands and brought them back to Europe where they were used as a substitute for black pepper, which was very expensive at that time since it had to be imported from Asia.

When paired with tasty acai berries and zesty lemons, cayenne pepper really flourishes. Try out this delicious healer for yourself and let us know how you feel!
