Did you know a common kitchen ingredient could help during a heart attack? Renowned herbalist John Christopher discovered that cayenne pepper, with at least 90,000 Scoville units of heat, can significantly boost circulation and stimulate the heart—making it useful in emergencies.

How to Use It

• If conscious: Mix 1 tsp cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water.
• If unconscious: Place a few drops of cayenne extract under the tongue.
  Many natural health experts believe it can help stabilize someone during a heart attack.
