pharmacological action
① Influence on digestive system
Capsicum tincture or capsaicin can be taken orally as a stomach tonic, which can promote appetite and improve digestion. Animal experiments (Basov gastroachalasia dogs) have proved that pepper water stimulates oral mucosa and reflexively strengthens gastric movement. Condiments made of various peppers can increase saliva secretion and amylase activity after oral administration. Large doses of oral can produce gastritis, enteritis, diarrhea, vomiting and so on. It is reported that pepper has inhibitory and spasmodic effects on isolated animal intestines. ② Antibacterial and Insecticidal Effects Capsaicin has a significant inhibitory effect on Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis, but has no effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Its branches and leaves have no antibacterial effect and only slightly inhibit mycobacterium tuberculosis. 10-20% Zanthoxylum bungeanum decoction has the efficacy of killing bedbugs. ③ Redness: As a liniment for external use, it has the effect of calming hair on the skin, making the local blood vessels of the skin reflexively expand and promoting the local blood circulation. Tincture can be used for chilblain; However, some people think that pepper only strongly stimulates sensory nerve endings, causing warmth, and has little effect on blood vessels. It does not foam at high concentrations and cannot be regarded as a red agent. (4) Influence on circulatory system Spicy substances (ginger, pepper, especially pepper) can stimulate the taste receptors of human tongue and reflexively raise blood pressure (especially diastolic pressure), but have no obvious effect on pulse. Intravenous injection of capsaicin or capsaicin into anesthetized cats and dogs can cause transient blood pressure drop, slow heartbeat and dyspnea, which is caused by stimulating chemoreceptors or extensors in the lungs and coronary arteries. It can directly excite the isolated guinea pig atrium and contract the hind limb blood vessels of rats. ⑤ Other effects It has been reported abroad that after eating food (unknown variety) with red pepper as seasoning for 3 weeks, the free hydrocortisone in plasma can be significantly increased, and the excretion in urine can also be increased; But also reduce that fibrinolytic activity. The above-ground water decoction has exciting effect on isolated rat uterus.

Fever and burning sensation often last for 2-24 hours, up to 48 hours, and there is general heat sensation and sweating. Generally, after applying the medicine, the joint activity is flexible and soft, and there is a faint pleasure. The examination showed local congestion and fever, and a few patients developed rashes and blisters. Treatment of general surgical inflammation: bake old red pepper into powder and sprinkle it on the affected area, once a day/kloc-0; Or mix it with oil and apply it locally, 1-2 times a day. 557 cases of mumps, cellulitis and multiple furuncles were treated clinically for 2- 10 days, all of which were effective. 3. Treatment of chilblain and chilblain: Chop pepper 1, add 2000-3000ml of water to 2 wheat seedlings, boil for 3-5min, and remove residues. Soak the affected area while it is hot, once a day 1 time. The broken ones are wrapped in several materials to keep warm. After 200 cases were treated, 88 cases were cured/kloc-0, 8 cases were effective and 4 cases were ineffective. The cured patients used drugs at least 1 time and at most 1 1 time, and most of them were within 5 times. Those with ulcer formation have poor curative effect and pain when washing; Because it is inconvenient to soak in the face, the curative effect is not as good as that of hands and feet. Chop 30 grams of pepper with seeds, add it to 250 grams of molten vaseline, boil it for 10- 15 minutes after tumbling, filter out the pepper, then add 15 grams of camphor and mix well.

Matters needing attention
Although pepper is rich in nutrition and has important medicinal value, excessive consumption is harmful to human health. Because too much capsaicin will violently stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, make it highly congested, accelerate peristalsis, cause stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea and anal burning and stabbing pain, induce gastrointestinal diseases, and promote hemorrhoid bleeding. Therefore, anyone suffering from esophagitis, gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer and hemorrhoids should eat less or avoid eating Chili.
Ways to relieve spicy feeling:
When you eat Chili, you will feel very spicy, and naturally you will want to drink water or eat some staple food to dilute the spicy taste. In fact, the effect of doing so will not be ideal. In fact, capsaicin is closely bound to nerve receptors on the taste organs, and capsaicin is a water-insoluble substance that can only be bound to fat, oil and alcohol. It is not difficult to explain why beer can dilute the spicy taste more easily than water. In fact, the fastest way to reduce the spicy taste of pepper is to add some vinegar, which can also reduce the fire.
But the best food to relieve spicy taste is milk, especially skim milk. Although it was thought that the lipid in milk can better combine with capsaicin, the study found that the really effective component is casein in milk.
