HAYWARD, Calif. - Californer -- What is Pippali?
Dr. Abhay Kumar Pati, D.Sc, Ayurvedic Physician, Researcher, Author, Hayward, CA USA

Pippali means "to drink and digest," hinting at its strength in supporting the digestive system and burning off toxins. Known as long pepper in English, pippali has been used since the dawn of Ayurveda, and the ancient Vedic texts list the benefits of pippali at length. Perhaps best known as one of the key ingredients making up Trikatu (pippali, ginger, and black pepper), pippali is also used in isolation as a culinary spice or an herbal remedy renowned for its fantastic benefits on the respiratory system.

As a culinary herb, pippali is celebrated for its unique properties — it has a pungent taste, yet a sweet and comparatively cooling post-digestive effect. This is excellent news for those with a pitta constitution who usually have to avoid pungent herbs due to their heating nature. This also makes pippali suitable as a treatment of digestive disorders caused by aggravated pitta, as it will aid healthy digestion without adding extra heat.

Used as an herbal remedy, pippali contains a whole host of health benefits. It is deeply rejuvenating for most systems in the body, but perhaps none more so than the respiratory system. Pippali stimulates agni within the respiratory tract, helping to remove the cold, damp kapha and ama from the lungs. Its ability to ignite agni also benefits the digestive system (improving the metabolism), the circulatory system, and the reproductive organs.

As well as being a powerful remedy in its own right, pippali is commonly found as an ingredient in other medicinal blends, as it aids the proper assimilation of other herbs.
