General description
Capsicum and Garlic combination is a stimulant or sudorific formula. The herbs increase blood circulation and perspiration, reduce blood pressure, increase the production of digestive fluids and fight infections.
Another way to cleanse the body of toxins is by stimulating blood circulation, which increases blood flow to muscles and joints. To accomplish this without straining the heart, we can use herbs that stimulate peripheral circulation.
Chinese herbalists would describe this herbal combination as a fire reducing formula. It also reduces the wood element while enhancing the earth, water and metal elements.
Capsicum and Garlic combination has been used to treat colds, coughs, hypertension, asthma, skin eruptions, impotence, hemorrhoids, rheumatism, indigestion, worms, parasites, chronic chills and poor circulation.
This formula is commonly used in conjunction with the vitamin C family, vitamin A, hawthorn, ginger root, vitamin E, selenium germanium, echinacea, golden seal, Spirulina, zinc and manganese.

Imbalances are often noted in the lymphatic rosary of both irises and in the 2:30 position of the left iris. Use caution in cases of acute inflammation of the kidneys and inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.
