At what time of year or in what circumstances is pepper tincture most often chosen? — Peppermint tincture 25 ml. vitateka

Tinctures based on red pepper have historically been associated with the cold and damp season — autumn and winter. At this time many people look for plant-based supplements with a warming effect, and capsaicin is a logical choice here: it creates a feeling of inner warmth and alertness by stimulating the receptors of the mucous membranes.

The tincture is also chosen by those who generally like bitter and spicy flavours and are used to including hot plant ingredients in their everyday diet — for example, as an addition to food before a main meal.

It is not a seasonal product in the strict sense: it can be used all year round if hot extracts are well tolerated. However, demand for such tinctures is traditionally higher in the cooler months — because of the wish to maintain a sense of warmth and alertness from within.

It is important to understand that red pepper tincture is an addition to the diet, not a substitute for a complete diet or medical care. It is not intended to treat colds or other illnesses.
