The plant from which it is made is spicy red Bell pepper- a berry native to tropical America. And the seeds and internal partitions are considered the hottest and most healing in this berry.
Red pepper, to which we have become so accustomed, actually appeared in our area not so long ago. It is believed that Columbus brought it to Europe from the distant countries of Guatemala and Mexico and after that it began to gain popularity.
From the beginning of the 16th century, the cultivation of red pepper began in Germany. The first information about this plant in our country dates back to the beginning of the 17th century, and the first industrial plantings began in Astrakhan already in the mid-19th century. To date, the cultivation of red pepper in Russia is very widespread - especially in the south of the country. About 2000 varieties have been bred, which differ in shape, color, and pungency. The most famous chili pepper is Cayenne pepper, named after the city of Cayenne in South America.
Many people value this spice for adding a sharp taste, but rarely does anyone pay due attention to its healing qualities, the main one of which is that it increases blood circulation. And any diseased organ that is consistently supplied with a sufficient amount of blood recovers faster. In addition, red pepper is even considered the record holder for the content of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) among other vegetables and fruits. The combination of vitamin C and large amounts of vitamin P (rutin) in pepper strengthens blood vessels, reduces cholesterol, improves blood circulation and effectively cleanses blood vessels. And a large amount of vitamin A improves vision and skeletal formation.

You should feel a warming warmth and a slight burning sensation. After that, put on something warm to sweat it out and go to bed. Repeat the procedure every night until complete recovery.
