Turmeric and Black Pepper Compatibility
The combination of turmeric and black pepper
All medicines in the world, the combination is wonderful, and it is related to the profit and loss of drug efficacy. The combination of turmeric and black pepper, the two, can be studied.
Turmeric, warm in nature, hard in taste, enters the liver and spleen meridians, has the ability to break blood and circulate qi, pass through menstruation and relieve pain. Black pepper, fragrant in taste, hot in nature, returns to the stomach and large intestine meridians, has the power of warming and dissipating cold, lowering qi and eliminating phlegm.
Look at the taste of the two, turmeric is warm and promoting blood circulation, and black pepper is hot and dissipating cold. The combination of the two, the heat of black pepper, can help turmeric warm and pass, making qi and blood flow faster. Turmeric works blood, black pepper works qi, and qi and blood are in harmony, which complements each other.
In terms of pharmacology, turmeric contains curcumin and other ingredients, but its bioavailability is low. The piperine contained in black pepper can significantly improve the bioavailability of curcumin, promote its absorption by the human body, and thereby enhance the medicinal effect of turmeric.
Therefore, when taking medicine, if you need to enhance the efficacy of turmeric, in order to achieve better blood circulation and menstruation, dissipate cold and relieve pain, etc., you can often use black pepper. However, it is also necessary to distinguish the physique of the patient. If it is Yang Sheng and real heat, Yin deficiency and fire, you should use this combination with caution, so as not to help fire generate heat and aggravate the condition. Doctors must carefully weigh their medication in order to achieve the good effect of treating patients and saving people.
