Re: C is for Cayenne Tincture~!


Hi Zoe,

Uny has posted about the ghost peppers in the past.

curezone.com/forums/fm.asp

"NOW - just in case some of you 'pepper heads' think that's just too weeny ::::HUGE eyeroll::: - we've done something especially for you. We've made a blend of powder that is 3 parts ground African Bird Pepper and 1/4 ::::drumroll please::: .... BHUT JOLOKIA POWDER (organic). Bhut Jolokias (aka Ghost Pepper, because they turn you into an apparition, lol) is THE hottest pepper in the world (anywhere from 2-10x hotter than a Habanero, depending upon type and growing conditions). The price is 24.00 for 2 ounces - it is listed under 'Other Blends' as: Bhut Jolokia & African Bird Pepper Powder.

I do NOT recommend this powder for anything but seasoning unless you are EASILY able to ingest a full teaspoon of our our original powder...and even then, start at 1/8th of teaspoon."

"Actually, the Red Savina has been unseated as the hottest pepper - the hottest now is the Naga/Bhut Jolokia (or Ghost Pepper): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_Jolokia_pepper

Naga Jolokia translates to "King Cobra Cayenne"...yikes. (I have a pound of organic powder, but after I opened the bag and took a whiff...I felt fear, lol).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Savina

The thing we need to remember (mostly) is that when peppers are dried, they become MUCH hotter than their stated H.U. (Heat Units). Dr. Christopher did ALL his healing with African Bird Peppers (100-150K H.U. when raw). Dr. Schulze upped the ante and added Habaneros (250-350K when raw). BUT, even though Dr. Schulze advertises his powder/tincture to be 250,000 HU (or hotter)...his ingredient list reads like this:

Botanical Ingredients: Dr. Schulze’s special blend of Habanero, California Jalapeño, African Bird, Chinese Bird, Korean Aji, Japanese and Thai Red Peppers.

Jalapenos are rated at only 8,000 HU.

Do I think you should use Red Savina's in a tincture? I think if they're dried, you'd end up with a product that virtually no one would be able to handle. If you could get raw ones, that'd still likely be less hot than the dried Habaneros (or maybe even the dried Bird Peppers)."

I won't include the whole post, its long, but this post from Uny is excellent on "hotness" in tinctures.

I'd say if you're used to eating all things "hot" then you might be able to handle it lol, but if you were to have to use it on someone in an emergency it'd be awfully hot for them lol.  Hope this helps.

Blessings

Willow
