Spice of the Month; Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne Pepper's official name is Capsicum which is derived from Greek word "to bite".  Its name implies that it is pungent and biting to the tongue and therefore, it is to be used in small amounts.  However, once it is eaten it is benign and gentle within the body and it is considered to be a reliable restorative and internal stimulant. 
Having said that, here are a few of its uses:

Digestive Aid: Add a tiny pinch to cooked or raw foods or add a dash to any hot soup or hot tea.
Nutrient Source: Cayenne pepper is a source of vitamin C.   Add 1/4 of a teaspoon cayenne to one quart of unsweetened grape juice.   Sip throughout the day a little bit at a time to stimulate your energy level.
Sore throat: Make a sherry gargle by adding a little bit of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne pepper to 1/4 cup of sherry.
Antiflu: grind together 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper with 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt to form a paste.  Add 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar.   Most adults can take between a teaspoon ot a table spoon every half hour.  If it is too strong, dilute it with water.
Liniment: Mix alcohol or apple cider vinegar with peppermint leaves, a few springs of wormwood, rosemary leaves and a few dashes of cayenne pepper.   Steep the preparation in the sun, turning it everyday for a week or so.  Strain off the herbs before applying to skin to relieve pain.
Toothache: If one is willing to deal with the burning sensation, a few grains of cayenne will act as a temporary pain alleviator until you get to your dentist.

Spice of the Month; Thyme

Thyme is a low, creeping and lawn-forming herb with little reddish blossoms and has an intense, pleasant smell. 

• Used as a tea, it will refresh the lungs, remove indigestion, flatulence, liver and splenetic complaints and acts as a diuretic.  the usual formula for tea is 1 teaspoon of the herb to 1 cup of boiling water steeped for a few minutes.  Bruise the leaves to release the aromatic oil.
• Thyme is more effective when used with other herbs.  For example, to overcome a budding cold, add thyme to any combination of herbs you use as a cold remedy.  A mixture of Peppermint, elderflower and yarrow would be a great combination to add Thyme to it.
• Thyme tea has a wide range of medicinal uses such as gastric problems of wind, colic, and even bad breath if it is caused by bad digestion.
• Thyme is also an antiseptic, a first aid, reduces fever, is useful for headache and is a great insect repellent.
• For sore throat and post nasal drip, mix honey with thyme tea.  Use a tablespoon several times a day.
• Thyme tea is helpful in overcoming shortness of breath and elimination of phlegm.
• Drink cold thyme tea to relieve a headache
• As a first aid, make a paste of warm moist thyme leaves and apply it to the skin to relieve the pain of an abscess, boil, or swelling.  make a strong thyme tea (one handful of thyme to a pint of boiling water), steep, dip in a folded cloth, apply the thyme compress to the abscess, boil or swellings.  Repeat as often as necessary.
• Mix thyme with lavender to make a anti moth concoction.
• Crush thyme, add to boiling water, steep and strain to use for baths, compresses, or directly apply to the body for sprains and bruises.
