* People use capers for diabetes, fungal infections, chest congestion, worms in the intestines, and a skin disease caused by parasites called leishmaniasis. Capers are also used as a tonic.
* Some people apply capers directly to the skin for dry skin and other skin disorders and for improving blood flow near the skin’s surface.
* [[Allergies]] : Capers are rich in the bioflavonoids rutin and quercetin (also found in apples, red onion and tea), both of which have antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties. Quercetin is particularly effective as an anti-allergy remedy when taken with bromelain; an enzyme found naturally in pineapple.
* Capers are also eaten as a food and used as a flavoring.
