Wound Healing

The antioxidant and antibacterial properties of alligator pepper seed extracts, which are abundant in alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannin, have been repeatedly shown to be helpful in encouraging and enhancing the wound healing process. Because of this, alligator pepper is used in a number of nations [including Nigeria] for mending wounds and treating burns, preventing infections, as well as relaxing inflamed mucous membranes. All you need do is crush the seeds and apply them to the affected area.

Similar to this, researchers at the Biology Department of Yaba College of Technology in Lagos State hypothesized in a study titled "Antimicrobial Activities of Aframomum Melegueta -Alligator Pepper" that the seed extract of alligator pepper inhibits the growth of common pathogens like Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and even Klebsiella pneumonia.
