HEALING HERBS: Ways to use cayenne pepper

I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. – St Mark 11:29, KJV.
AS I PERSEVERE while being blessed with needed strength and trust by the Creator, I continue to gather the wisdom to educate myself and my people.
Having journeyed through St Luke’s Anglican Church in Barbados, I was passionately educated about the seasons and the power of the Creator.
We are into one of those seasons and must ensure that we query if modern crucifixion exists. In fact, after journeying through a life which involved attempted crucifixion, cayenne pepper has made a massive breakthrough.
I received numerous calls and emails about silent doctor cayenne, some offering forgiveness for past persecution and lack of knowledge about its medicinal value.
A person who stood out with testimony was tyre technician David King. I visited his business to have my tyre repaired and noticed his brawny physique and lovely skin. He informed me that he consumes a cup of cayenne and ginger tea each morning.  
Readers who are using cayenne for the first time requested a diluted modification of my personal recipe offered last week. Here it is:
To a large bottle of olive oil, add two tablespoons of cayenne, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, four crushed bay leaves, and the secret ingredient. Follow the same instructions as in last week’s column. The oil can be used even for sautéing.
Other ways to use cayenne are as follows:
• Salad dressing – combine one or two tablespoons of olive oil with a dash of cayenne. Shake the two ingredients and pour over tossed salad.   
• Scalp maintenance oil – to a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil, add one teaspoon cayenne, six bay leaves, and one tablespoon rosemary oil. Replace cap and leave in the sun for one month, then use as desired on the scalp.
• A sinus buster – consuming a pinch of cayenne pepper in a teacup of boiled water.
• A gargle – seawater with a dash of cayenne.
Also try using a dash in pomegranate or other juice.
Finally, a bit of advice. This season, focus on things that are true, honest and of good report. Also curtail crucifying the reputations of your fellow men and silent doctors.
