Among its many medicinal uses are lowering cholesterol, as an immune booster, and lowering blood glucose levels. "One of the primary medicinal uses for basil is for its anti-inflammatory properties.

THIS is what got my attention:  "Cayenne pepper's bright red color signals its high content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A. Just two teaspoons of cayenne pepper provide 47% of the daily value for vitamin A. Often called the anti-infection vitamin, vitamin A is essential for healthy epithelial tissues including the mucous membranes that line the nasal passages, lungs, intestinal tract and urinary tract and serve as the body's first line of defense against invading pathogens."        Continue Reading  What do you think?  Are you ready to get started?
