Treating wounds this way also helps stimulate healing as well as stopping the bleeding at the same time.

Cayenne is said to diminish the symptoms of sore throats as well. If you feel a sore throat coming on or you already have one, try mixing some cayenne in warm water and then take it as a gargle.
