Capsaicin and Bronchodilation:
One of the most remarkable effects of capsaicin is its ability to induce bronchodilation, the widening of the airways in the lungs. Research suggests that capsaicin can stimulate the receptors in the airway muscles, leading to relaxation and an increased airflow. A study published in the "European Journal of Pharmacology" found that inhalation of capsaicin led to bronchodilation in individuals with asthma, supporting its potential as a natural treatment for respiratory conditions.
