Native to Central America, Capsicum annuum is the plant that yields chili, a popular fruit used globally as a condiment or vegetable that is recognised by its pungent flavour.

Chili, or La jiao in Chinese, is a digestion stimulant: it favours the production of digestive juices and encourages the formation of bile in order to contribute to efficient digestion. Thus, Chili relieves bloating, the feeling of coldness in the stomach and other manifestations of slow digestion, to allow the return of digestive well-being.
