Sichuan pepper
The Benefits of Sichuan Pepper
Many studies have been conducted to evaluate the soothing effect of Sichuan Pepper on skin sensitivity.
Twelve volunteers were asked to define heat perception according to the following parameters: hot (feeling good), warm (discomfort) and pain followed by a thermal stimulus given by an instrument that emits a certain amount of heat and provides a continuous skin temperature reading.
After the first reading, Sichuan Pepper emulsion (0.5% Sichuan Pepper/ cm2) and empty emulsion were applied to the scapular area of the volunteers. Thermal skin sensitivity measurements were then taken after application of the product. Sichuan Pepper has a calming effect on the perception of “heat” but does not affect the sensation of pain.
Additional evaluation of the soothing and anti-itching effect of Sichuan Pepper was performed on 40 healthy volunteers with mosquito bites.
The volunteers recorded the itching intensity of at least 3 mosquito bites per arm. Overall, 67.5% of the volunteers reported an anti-itching effect of Sichuan Pepper spray solution (0.5%) compared with the placebo sample.
Further clinical studies showed the same calming effects of Sichuan Pepper in a variety of applications.
