Herbal vinegar for arthritis

Apparently years ago James Balch wrote a little chapbook for an herbal
vinegar containing cayenne for arthritis.  I've been unable to locate it
or
find out which other herbs went into this vinegar.  Don't know if the
subject of the book was arthritis or uses for cayenne.  Would like the
recipe or anything comparable.  My guess is that alfalfa and ginger might
be
two.

......I have some Scotch bonnets I've been growing that I want to use for
this - dry them first?  Use whole pepper?  Cut pepper up?
......anyone?
