The Health Benefits of Chillies

Chilli Peppers have been used for thousands of years not only for their spicy flavour but also for their medicinal values.

Many wonder why human beings would consume chillies at all. After all, the Capsaicin found in the chillies' membrane provokes a burning sensation which can lead to severe discomfort, especially with the cross-breads that are currently being engineered like the Infinity Chilli, Naga Viper or the Naga Hari which are nearly as pungent as warfare chilli pepper spray (2,000,000 Scoville Heat Units).

Psychologists suggest that it is the thrill of the experience that pushes people to eat hotter food (The amount of 10 minute burn hot sauce from The Chilli Pepper Company we have recently sold is definitely proof of that!), much like riding a roller coaster or watching a horror movie. People know they are taking a calculated risk and enjoy experiencing extreme feelings without any risk of actual bodily harm.

But if we look closely at the beneficial side of chilli peppers, many features can help if not cure our everyday ailments. For example, levels of Vitamin C in chillies are seven times higher as compared to the level of Vitamin C found in oranges. Chillies are also packed with Vitamin A, B, C and E and are rich in minerals. The body releases Capsaicin-like substances when injured so Capsaicin from chilli peppers is currently used in topical ointments as well as a high-dose dermal patch to relieve pain or peripheral neuropathy. Capsaicin can also bring temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, backache, strains and sprains.

Studies have found that if a person eats a mild chilli like a jalapeno they will lose 45 calories in three hours without even lifting a finger! Not only do chilli peppers help clear the digestive system but taken regularly they help maintaining one's metabolism to a very high level therefore promoting weight loss and controlling levels of cholesterol. Chilli Peppers also dilate airway of lungs which reduces asthma and wheezing.

In the scientific world, chillies are mostly known for their curative abilities. A recent study shows that a new type of painkiller derived from chillies could soon be available which could not only stop pain at its source but also prevent any form of substance addiction like so many pharmaceutical medicines bring on.

Furthermore, many articles published in Health Journals show a direct link between chilli peppers and a possible cure for colon cancer. The vitamin C, beta-carotene and folic acid act as a preventive agent therefore slowing the deterioration process.

So it's all good really! Whether you like mild chilli jam or cannot get enough of Mad Dog's Revenge or Chilli Pepper Pete's Satan's Shit, we at The Devil's Garden will always try and bring you the best of what's out there! After all, if it's good for your health
