　　2. Prevention of cancer: Capsaicin, an active ingredient of pepper, is an antioxidant that prevents the metabolism of the cells involved, thereby terminating the carcinogenesis of the cells and reducing the incidence of cancer cells.

　　3. Increase appetite and help digestion: The strong spicy taste of pepper stimulates the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, increases appetite, promotes intestinal peristalsis, and helps digestion.

　　Therapeutic effect

　　Capsicum is warm, spicy, and poisonous. It enters the spleen and stomach.

　　Indications of dyspepsia, cold stomach pain, rheumatic pain, lumbar muscle pain and other symptoms

　　Effect on the digestive system

　　Capsicum or capsaicin, which can be used as a stomachic agent, can promote appetite and improve digestion. The animal test (Bassof stomach hyena) proves that pepper water stimulates the oral mucosa and reflexively enhances the movement of the stomach. Seasonings made from various types of peppers can increase saliva secretion and amylase activity after oral administration. Large doses of oral administration can produce gastritis, enteritis, diarrhea, vomiting and the like. It has been reported that pepper has inhibitory and antispasmodic effects on intestinal tubes of isolated animals.

　　Antibacterial and insecticidal effects

　　Capsaicin has a significant inhibitory effect on Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis, but not on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Its branches and leaves have no antibacterial effect and only have a slight inhibition on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 10 to 20% of peppers have the effect of killing bed bugs.

　　Redness

　　External use as an abrasive has a swell effect on the skin, causing the skin of the skin to reflexively expand and promote the local blood circulation. Tinctures can be used for frostbite; however, it is also believed that peppers only strongly stimulate the sensory nerve endings, causing a warm feeling, which has little effect on blood vessels, and does not foam at high concentrations, so it cannot be regarded as a redness agent.

　　The role of the circulatory system

　　Spicy substances (ginger, pepper, especially pepper) can stimulate the taste receptors of the human tongue. Reflexively cause blood pressure to rise (especially diastolic blood pressure), no significant effect on the pulse. Intravenous injection of capsaicin or capsicum into anesthetized cats and dogs can cause transient blood pressure drop, slow heartbeat and difficulty breathing, which is caused by chemoreceptors or stretch receptors in the lung and coronary regions. It has a direct excitatory effect on the atrial guinea pig atrium, and also has a contractile effect on the hind limb blood vessels of rats.
