Syrian medical books in the 5th century pointed out that black pepper can treat constipation, diarrhea, earache, gangrene, heart disease, hernia, hoarseness, indigestion, insect bites, insomnia, joint pain, liver disease, lung disease, oral abscess, sunburn, dental caries and toothache. In traditional Chinese medicine, black pepper can be used to treat cold phlegm, dyspepsia, epigastric cold pain, nausea, clear water vomiting, diarrhea and cold dysentery, and can also be used to detoxify food poisoning.
However, not everyone is suitable for eating black pepper. Because pepper has a certain stimulating effect on the intestine, people who have just finished abdominal surgery or have digestive tract ulcers must not have black pepper in their recipes. In addition, losing weight is a systematic project, involving diet, exercise, lifestyle and other aspects. Although black pepper is helpful to lose weight, it is unrealistic to think that only eating black pepper can lose weight.
