What is Chili Oil?

Chili oil is a popular preparation of vegetable oil that has been infused with chili peppers. Chili peppers are the (typically dried) fruit from plants in the Capsicum genus, and while these peppers originated in Mexico, this oil is now available globally, and various cultivars of chili peppers are grown in countries all around the world. Although most commonly used in culinary applications, often in Asian countries and cuisine, chili oil can also be used for a vast array of medical conditions, due to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Chili peppers are rich in the active ingredient capsaicin, which can have a profound impact on the body. Furthermore, this oil has trace levels of vitamin C and vitamin A, as well as certain key antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids.  [1]

Benefits & Uses of Chili Oil 

Many people use chili oil, both topically and internally, if they are suffering from arthritis, sinus congestion, gastrointestinal issues, oxidative stress, a weak immune system, macular degeneration, obesity, high cholesterol, chronic pain, dementia, psoriasis, and eczema.

May Help Prevent Chronic Diseases

The potential antioxidant capacity of chili oil is rather incredible, due to the high concentration of capsaicin, an antioxidant compound that provides the majority of health benefits in chili peppers. This antioxidant, along with various other related compounds, can seek out and neutralize free radicals anywhere in the body, which can lower oxidative stress and lower your risk of developing chronic disease. [2]

May Stimulate Immune System

Capsaicin is also able to stimulate the immune system, and chili oil is known to have moderate levels of vitamin C. This can help to boost production of white blood cells, while also working as an antioxidant to relieve strain on the immune system. If you have a cough, cold, or congestion, a small dose of chili oil can help speed recovery.
