The black pepper is among the remedies of Ayurvedic medicine and is one of the three spices that make up the "Trikatu" (the others are saffron and long pepper) used to promote digestion and stimulate metabolism.
Indeed, piperine, the alkaloid contained in pepper, makes a stimulating, tonic and stomachic spice and, by stimulating the secretion of gastric juices, facilitates the digestive process and facilitates the absorption of nutrients by getting the maximum benefit from the food ingested.
Not recommended in case of gastritis, ulcer or hemorrhoids because it irritates the mucous membranes.
An effect of black pepper is also to stimulate thermogenesis, which is why it is considered an excellent adjuvant in slimming diets and to combat obesity.
