Yes, the tincture comes in a dropper bottle, here is a picture of the one I
use:

I spelled it wrong in the original post, it is "Herb Pharm" brand, which I
mention because I don't know if all tinctures are of the same strength. I
get it at the local health food store.
To fight off a headache, I take about twenty drops in 4 oz of water. It
feels like it is burning your throat on the way down, but, strangely enough,
that appears to be an illusion because the burning sensation goes away very
quickly. The recommended dose on the bottle is "two to four times per day
take ten to thirty drops in a little water," so you could take a lot more
than I do if required.
Here is a little article about cayenne and migraines.

Mine, especially recently, appear to be detox headaches resulting from
taking some cleansing herbs, mainly olive leaf tincture and oregano oil. I
was warned I could get headaches from this, so I looked up detox headaches
and read that they probably result from a constriction of the blood flow to
the head, probably as a result of detox thickening the blood (I think the
area in back at the base of the skull where it joins the neck is where I
feel it - I also tried applying some DMSO there, but don't need that
anymore). Since cayenne is well know as an herb that stimulates
circulation, I thought that it might help, and found that it did very
quickly. I later read that it helps migraines on the above page and some
others as well.
It is important to take it at the first sign of a headache, or even the
suspicion of one. I now also add about twenty drops to my morning cup of
tea to see if it will actually prevent them. Makes the tea taste spicy.
I have not tried using the actual pepper itself, although we have it in the
house for food preparation. I thought using the tincture would be easier
(and safer) and since it has worked, I did not feel the need to experiment
with the pepper.

Del,
By "taking twenty drops" what do you mean? How is it administered, in a
glass of water?
My wife gets occasional ordinary headaches, and reports that the
tincture did the same thing for her - headache went away very quickly.
If we could find a reliable way to break the back of a migraine, my
wife would be happy also.
Be well,
