*[[Goldenseal]], or Hydrastis canadensis, is a North American perennial with a long history of medicinal use. Herbalists use the rhizome and roots to stop bleeding and diarrhea. The herb is rich in isoquinoline alkaloids, which are potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory chemicals. Herbalist Christopher Hobbs recommends cool goldenseal tea used as a snuff, or inhalant, for nasal polyps because it will act on infected mucous membranes and reduce inflammation. Goldenseal may affect the uterus, so do not ingest it if you are pregnant.
*[[Cayenne]], or Capsicum annuum, is a red chili pepper found throughout North and South America. Herbalists use it to stimulate circulation and strengthen capillaries. The pepper is rich in a chemical called capsaicin, which has anti-pain and styptic actions. A study published in the March 2000 issue of "Acta Otolaryngologica" found that an application of capsaicin sprayed into the nasal passages shrunk polyps in patients with severe sinonasal polyposis, allowing them to breath more easily. Cayenne may cause irritation if not diluted enough.
