Can you tell me is cayanne pepper good for asthma?

May be a trigger: No studies have been done looking directly at the effects of cayenne pepper on asthma. However, it is likely that cayenne pepper would be a trigger for asthma as it can highly irritate the airways. There are published reports of occupational asthma related to inhaled chili pepper exposure. It is best to use inhaler medication to control asthma as directed by your physician.

Unless you inhale: If you are like former-pres clinton's on not inhaling the pepper , then it is not a problem. I have not heard of anyone's asthma being triggered by eating cayenne pepper.
