Zanthoxylum bungeanum was first described in The Book of Songs. The Book of Songs is a folk poem in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which shows that people in China used pepper more than 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. The ancients thought that the smell of pepper could drive away evil spirits. In some periods, the palace used pepper to penetrate into architectural paint to stick the walls. This kind of house is called "Pepper Room" and is for maids. After that, it is enough to prove that the pepper room is used to describe ladies-in-waiting, the article "After making suggestions" in the Collected Works of Cao Cao and the sentence "On the second and sixth day of every month, the pepper room is allowed to enter the palace early" in the sixteenth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions. Zanthoxylum bungeanum bears many fruits, and the Book of Songs has the sentence "Zanthoxylum bungeanum bears great fertility". Zanthoxylum bungeanum is also a flavor additive. Judging from the excavated ancient tombs, the inner coffins are often filled with the fruits of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, which is likely to take advantage of the efficient moth-proofing and antiseptic effect of Zanthoxylum bungeanum. At the same time, it also contains the concept of "reproduction and prosperity" and superstitious activities of having many children and grandchildren. Among the cultural relics excavated in Mancheng County, Hebei Province, China, there are well-preserved Zanthoxylum bungeanum.
Ginger pepper
Ginger is hot and humid. Many women drink ginger soup during menstruation, which can reasonably warm the uterus and relieve menstrual pain. In ancient times, women would drink raw ginger jujube tea to relieve menstrual pain, but modern scientific research also shows that pepper and ginger together have a good practical effect, and they are both positive components. When they enter the body, they can effectively eliminate water and excrete excrement.
They are both natural antibacterial drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs. For some people with constipation, the combination of the two drugs and soaking in water can remove enterotoxin more effectively. For three days, they can excrete accumulated feces. In this way, the problems caused by stool accumulation will disappear, and the bad breath caused by intestinal bacteria will slowly decompose the fat in the abdomen after the water in the body is discharged, and it will quietly become a small waist after a while.
