I will be honest. I was a little afraid of how hot Cayenne Pepper was going to be when I consumed it by itself. A lot of what I was reading said I should take it in hot water. Another said I should add a squeezed half of a lemon to the hot water with the pepper in it. The one that made the most sense to me was drinking it within a glass of milk. So that is what I tried. I put a half teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper in a small glass and filled it up with milk. It didn't mix very well with the milk. So I heated it up in the microwave. It mixed a little better, but not much... So I just chugged it.

I will say I have a cold today. It seemed to help the mucus a little bit. I got a dull headache within a few minutes. That might be from the cold though. and I feel a light heart burn. As for my blood pressure, I have not checked it. I will have to start checking it on a regular basis so you can see if the pepper is doing anything. Heh... Some Scientist I am, right?
