I have been taking cayenne pepper for panic attacks and blood pressure control. I use 2 tablespoons and 4 ounces of water, mix thoroughly with a fork and microwave for about 20 seconds. Then gulp it down. It is probably the fastest natural vasodilator in the world. The instant it comes in contact with mucous membranes the body reacts to it as a burn or abrasion pumping blood to your skin to cool you off. Try getting a placebo to do that. For me it stops chest pain in under a minute, one of my triggers for panic attacks.
I can’t understand the logic of western doctors, they recognize that marijuana is a powerful drug but they will laugh at cayenne pepper. Here is another point aspirin was originally extracted from willow tree bark, the “miracle” drug. There is no way in the world if aspirin was discovered today that it would pass clinical trials, willow bark tea would be considered absolute quackery.
There are a lot of things that leave me wondering and modern medicine is one of them.

I was using Ambien to help me sleep. I discovered Ambien was causing me to be susceptible to migraines. I also noticed that if I took an additional dose of Ambien upon waking in the middle of the night, a nasty headache or migraine was certain. After switching to Lunesta, I have much fewer migraines. When I feel a migraine coming on, I will take 400 mg of ibupropen and lay down with an ice pack on my head. Usually within 30 minutes after taking the ibupropen and applying the ice pack, most of my migraine is relieved.

Plunging your hands into hot water, as hot as you can stand it helps drain blood away from the brain and down to you hands. It helps a little, and if you put something cold at the base of your head/neck it will help a bit more.

I was wondering, as someone mentioned the migraines being in the family and i suffer just like my Mother, if they really are a family inherited phenomonom and if there is therefore a specific gene code for migraine troubles?
Thanks for the tips about the cayenne pepper – i will order some in for both me and my Mother.

I also suffer from monthly migraines and as I get older, they get worse. I just tried the cayenne. I saw this in a magazine. I put a little cayenne pepper in the nostril on the side of the headache and snorted it. Wow, my eyes watered, it burned, but Voila, NO MORE MIGRAINE! I am astonished, wish I would have found this years ago.
