Composition

CAPSICUM FRUTESCENS Homeopathic mother tincture by Boiron, 30- or 60-ml bottle

Capsicum frutescens, commonly known as cayenne pepper or mad pepper, is a plant in the Solanaceae family. This bushy subshrub, characterized by its oval or lanceolate leaves and flowers arranged in pairs, has been renowned for its medicinal properties since Aztec times. The part of the plant used is its dried, ripe fruit—separated from the calyx—which contains a multitude of active compounds beneficial to health.

Composition and Properties

Boiron’s Capsicum mother tincture is rich in capsaicinoids, compounds responsible for the sensation of heat felt when applied to the skin or mucous membranes. These capsaicinoids act on pain receptors, inducing vasodilation and providing analgesic relief. In addition, the capsaicin present in Capsicum stimulates digestive secretions and promotes intestinal peristalsis, thereby contributing to better gastrointestinal health. Furthermore, thanks to its vitamin C and carotenoid content, this mother tincture helps reduce oxidative stress, thereby offering additional protection against cellular damage.
