Red pepper is not only a condiment in cooking, but also its curative effect is praised by the world. Red pepper has been used for a long time to treat cough, cold, sinusitis and bronchitis, and other studies have pointed out that it may be related to the prevention of gastric ulcer or stroke, hypertension and heart disease.

It can eliminate congestion and sinusitis, which is the same characteristic of any spicy food. Irwin Ziment, a professor at the University of California, pointed out that chili peppers are used to treat respiratory diseases just like our cold medicine in the pharmacy. The reason why chili peppers are so magically used to remove nasal congestion contains capsaicin, a phytochemical that makes the tongue feel spicy.

Pepper is spicy because it contains capsaicin. This capsaicin has the effects of promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold, relieving depression and invigorating stomach. Eating pepper properly can promote saliva secretion and increase appetite. Pepper also has many medicinal values. It can cure indigestion when soaked in wine with Chenpi. Putting pepper powder and vaseline together in the affected area can dispel rheumatism and cure joint pain.

Red pepper has a pungent flavor, which can remove the fishy smell in dishes, and has high nutritional value, and has the effects of keeping out cold, stimulating appetite and sterilizing. In addition to being rich in carotene, a red pepper contains about 5,111 international units of vitamin A, which can meet the daily needs of adults, and also contains more than 1,111 mg of vitamin C. These rich antioxidants can neutralize harmful oxygen molecular free radicals in the body and are beneficial to human health. Long-term intake of red pepper also has anti-aging effect.
