Pharmacological action

①Effects on the digestive system

Pepper tincture or capsaicin can be taken orally as a stomachic agent, which can promote appetite and improve digestion. Animal experiments (Basov gastric paralysis dogs) have shown that pepper water stimulates the oral mucosa and reflexively strengthens gastric movement. Condiments made from various peppers can increase saliva secretion and amylase activity after oral administration. Large doses can cause gastritis, enteritis, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. Peppers have been shown to have an inhibitory and anticonvulsant effect on the intestines of isolated animals.

② Antibacterial and insecticidal effects

Capsaicin has a significant inhibitory effect on Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis, but is ineffective against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Its branches and leaves have no antibacterial effect and only have a slight inhibitory effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 10-20% pepper fried chili has the effect of killing bed bugs.

③Redness effect

When used externally as an ointment, it has a stimulating effect on the skin, causing the local blood vessels of the skin to reflexively dilate and promote the vigorous local blood circulation. Tinctures can be used for frostbite; but some people believe that pepper only strongly stimulates the sensory nerve endings, causing a warming sensation, but has little effect on blood vessels, and does not foam at high concentrations, so it cannot be considered an erythematous agent.
