Zanthoxylum piperitum
Japanese spice with numbing hydroxy-alpha-sanshool; digestive herb in Japanese Kampo medicine.
Zanthoxylum piperitum, a Japanese spice known as sansho, is used in Kampo medicine for digestive and circulatory complaints. Its primary active compound, hydroxy-alpha-sanshool, produces a characteristic numbing sensation via activation of TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors, while essential oils and flavonoids contribute to mild analgesic and carminative effects.
Hydroxy-alpha-sanshool activates TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels on sensory neurons, leading to desensitization and local analgesia. The pungent alkylamides also stimulate salivary and gastric secretions via parasympathetic pathways, enhancing digestion. Terpenes and flavonoids exhibit mild anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions, while the warming effect is attributed to peripheral vasodilation mediated by nitric oxide release.
