Just dug out my old copy of "Curing with Cayenne" by Sam Biser featuring Richard Schultze. In the book Schultze states that any hot pepper will work, the hotter the better. (p119). As a herbalist I would have to disagree on the face value, except if the intention is solely for its heat value. Schultze is considered an authority on Cayenne, and has many followers so should be highly considered.
That would mean that Tabasco sauce would have significant medicinals value, readily available and cheap. Plus IMO, a pretty reputable company. only problem I could see is that its not cayenne. Tabasco sauce and CS would make a valuable combination, maybe faster than Gardoade, H2O2, and DMSO. or maybe an interesting formula. Ed Kasper LAc.

I'm looking at a bottle... Ingredients are: distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt. In my limited experience, red pepper has always meant cayenne. Poking around the www.tabasco.com site nowhere do they refer to the "special variety of red pepper" they grow as cayenne, and cayenne is only mentioned specifically in a listing of heat unit ranges, alongside of Tabasco. Don't know what it means. Maybe an e-mail to the company is in order... Be well, Mike D.
