To treat baldness and hair loss, you can soak whole fresh chili peppers in white alcohol for about 10-20 days. Afterwards, use this alcohol to apply to the areas experiencing hair loss. The results can be quite promising.
Additionally, recent studies have shown that chili contains capsaicin, which stimulates the brain to produce endorphins—an endogenous morphine that helps reduce pain. This is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic arthritis and cancer.
The natural active compounds found in chili have a positive effect on glucose and other chemicals in the brain, leading to more effective sleep. Furthermore, chili is rich in numerous vitamins such as vitamin C, B1, B2, citric acid, malic acid, beta carotene, and more.
