Chillies and Your Health

Following their discovery by Columbus in 1492 and the subsequent distribution around the world, they were soon used as a natural medicine by the cultures that adopted them.

Why, because 500 hundred years ago the only medicines were those that could be sourced from the local environment, or traded from another environment. There was very little distinction between food and medicine. This is something we are now starting to understand more and as a result we are seeing a reversion to natural medicines and therapies.

These range from treatments for arthritis and circulatory disorders through to potential cures for heart disease and cancer.

In the next few pages we'll review historical and current knowledge on a number of issues and how chillies may be used as a cure or preventative.

While I'm not a medical practitioner of any type, and do not pretend to have that level of knowledge, I do hold a Bachelor Of Science degree with Honours (Flinders University, 1991).

This enables me to at least this way sort out the facts from the hype and present you with solid information for you to discuss with your medical advisor.
