        Are there other pepper species that I can tincture that contain Capsasium? I grew Buena Mulata this past year and would like to make a tincture if it would be similar.

          I would like to know that also. I have a tincture of habanero peppers going but I don’t know if it will have the same properties or not.

            I’ve heard that as long as the pepper has heat, they have medicine. So that’s what I’ve acted on though it would be good to verify.

              Almost all hot peppers are the same species (Capsicum annuum). The principle medicine is capsacian. Since capsacian is also the principle element causing heat, I suspect that all hot peppers will share many/most of cayenne’s benefits. That said, If I were to buy or grow one to tincture, I’d probably stick with cayenne…better the hot devil we know. LOL

              Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

                We grew Cayenne Peppers last year and just put the peppers in the freezer. We had not thought about letting them dry out on a cookie crack. What can we do with our frozen cayenne peppers?

                    Thaw them….then dry them. Capsacian isn’t scared of freezers. :0)

                    Or just leave them in the freezer and use them as needed.
