For concentrated Cayenne, we make and use Organic Cayenne Tincture. Organic Cayenne Tincture is easy to make and takes 2-3 weeks to "brew"
Cayenne Pepper is a nightshade vegetable. While adding a little (or a lot) of hot and spicy to any dish, cayenne pepper can also be very therapeutic. Cayenne pepper contains capsaicin which can open up your sinuses, fight inflammation, cardiovascular support, helps with ulcers, boosts immune system and metabolism.
THIS is what got my attention: "Cayenne pepper's bright red color signals its high content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A. Just two teaspoons of cayenne pepper provide 47% of the daily value for vitamin A. Often called the anti-infection vitamin, vitamin A is essential for healthy epithelial tissues including the mucous membranes that line the nasal passages, lungs, intestinal tract and urinary tract and serve as the body's first line of defense against invading pathogens." source

My husband says Cayenne Tincture makes a HUGE difference with his allergies!
What is a Tincture? An herbal tincture is simply an herbal extract. Herbal remedies have been used throughout history to treat illnesses and ailments without "modern medicine" and pharmaceuticals. Tinctures are easy to make, home remedies. If properly prepared and stored, your tincture will last indefinitely. Source
To get started you'll need: A clean jar with a lid, vodka or Everclear, herb(s), measuring cups and/or scale and labels.
If you purchase a DIY Tincture Kit from Mary's Heirloom Seeds, the herbs, jar with a lid, customizable labels and dropper bottle are all included. All you need to do is measure out your menstruum and combine!
Let's get started making our Tincture!
DIY Organic Cayenne Pepper Tincture
Ingredients and tools:
1 clean jar with a lid (quart size)
3-4 cups of vodka or everclear
1 ounce of organic Cayenne Powder
Directions:
1. Start with a cleaned and sterilized glass jar. Place organic Cayenne Powder in your GLASS jar.
2. Measure out 3-4 cups of vodka or other menstruum and place inside your jar.
*If you choose to use ACV or Vegetable Glycerin, be aware that your Tincture will have a limited shelf life of approx 6 months*
3. Place the lid back on your jar and mix thoroughly.
4. Label your homemade Tincture with the Date and Ingredients.

*Shake your brewing tincture regularly. I prefer to shake my tinctures 2-3 times per week.*
Start straining and consuming Cayenne Tincture after 3-4 weeks.
I take approx 1/8 teaspoon up to 3 times daily for approx 3 weeks.

If using Everclear does it need to be diluted?
Is the one ounce of cayenne powder an ounce by weight or by volume?

I used too much cayenne pepper in my tincture with vodka. What can I do with the remaining paste? Please respond! Thankd
Find a natural alternative method to reverse different diseases and STDs no matter what science says about their illness. I am sharing my healing encounter from genital herpes after using Dr okosun herbal medicine to cure my HSV-1&2 diagnosis permanently. A few weeks ago my new lab result shows that I tested negative. I am so happy I gave it a try. Currently, my 65 years old mom is using Dr okosun herbs to eliminate her diabetes and the recovery process is amazing. I am recommending this product for those that are willing to give it a try as these holistic remedies do not have any side effects.

I had an ingrown toenail down in the middle outside of my nail bed. I used a few drops on it and it’s gone!
Love this! Used the paste at the bottom over time by adding 1tsp of it to a foot bath
I made this tincture but added ginger to it. I made it in 6hrs using Herbal Infuser.
Can tincture be made with just picked peppers?
So taking the tincture for three weeks, can you not take it all the time or maybe I will check blood pressure and take it when needed. Thanks for your information
Kind regards
Anna
After straining into bottles, there is residue Of powder left in jar. Like a paste, Is this useful?
Hi Benjamin!
It says exactly how much cayenne to use in the recipe posted above
Hello, it says how much alcohol to use but not cayenne pepper.
So how’s that supposed to work then.

We use a coffee filter to strain out our Cayenne Tincture. Just a tip: Wear gloves in case you touch the tincture
How do you strain the final result after say 5 weeks. Thank you
