medicinal value of fresh peppercorns vs dried?

Our local grocery store just has some fresh, salt cured peppercorns on clearance.  
I picked some up to try the flavour. That part is good but I was wondering if anyone knew about their medicinal value compared to the dried.
I have been making a ginger and turmeric paste with peppercorns that is a great anti-inflammatory for my mother and am willing to buy several more packs of these fresh ones for later batches, if they will be a better option.
They are soft, so would blend in better.
Thoughts?
