2. Get Your Blood to Clot with Cayenne Pepper
Ground cayenne pepper can serve a much more useful and practical purpose than merely seasoning your next batch of chili.
In fact, when you grind up cayenne peppers and apply the results to an open wound, it will quickly cause the blood pressure to equalize. In turn, this makes the blood begin to clot more quickly than normal, which can stop the flow from small or even larger sized cuts.
