 This chart gives you an idea of just how hot various species of cayenne pepper are.  The hotter the pepper, the more heat units it has.  The more heat units it has, the more powerful healing properties it gives.  Habanero peppers are considered the hottest peppers on earth.  And they are extremely potent.  Try growing some, they're fabulous organic.

Capsaicin’s “heat” is measured in Scoville Units, which correspond to about sixteen units per part-per –million. Pure capsaicin would be given the Scoville rating of 16,000,000.
