Cayenne Tincture 90HU

A potent extract of cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum) standardized to 90,000 heat units. The 90HU figure refers to Scoville heat units — an objective measure of capsaicin concentration that tells you this is a therapeutic-strength preparation rather than a culinary one.

Cayenne is a cornerstone of the Western herbal tradition, championed by the 19th-century American herbalists and still one of the most widely reached-for botanicals in folk practice. Expect genuine heat — start at the low end of the label's range.

Blended and bottled in small batches at Down Home Roots Herbal, a family apothecary in Jasper, Texas. Owner Jessica Larkin holds a Practical Herbalist diploma and certifications in natural medicine, clinical aromatherapy and homeopathy, and formulates each blend herself.

A tincture is a concentrated liquid extract — botanicals steeped to draw their constituents into solution, then bottled with a dropper so you can measure by the drop. Take as directed on the label, typically in a little water.
