SC - Peppers?

Why do you suspect those peppers in particular as being used as medicinals
as opposed to spices? Because monks were supposed to not live lives of
luxury and that they were often into medicinals such as alcohol? Or more
to it than that?

And how would you use a pepper medcinally? "Here rub a little of this
around your eye or on your tongue, and you will forget that little
ache in your leg..."
