Capsicum annuum
A pinch in broth or honey for a cold that feels stuck. Warming, not magic.
Do not get powder in eyes. Not on broken skin. Not a heart medicine.
- Part used
- Ripe dried pods
- Gather
- Grow a row. Dry the thinnest hot peppers until they snap.

- A tiny pinch in lemon-honey water. More is a dare, not a dose.
