Black Pepper, known as Maricha or Kali Mirch in Ayurveda, is a pungent spice with deep therapeutic value. It is widely used to stimulate Agni (digestive fire), enhance bioavailability of herbs, and clear toxins from the system. It is a powerful carminative, expectorant, and antioxidant.
In Ayurveda, Black Pepper is used to improve digestion, respiratory health, and metabolism. It is also a key ingredient in formulations like Trikatu, which helps in fat metabolism and reducing Ama (toxins). The active compound piperine in black pepper boosts the absorption of nutrients and herbal actives like curcumin (from turmeric), making it essential in herbal medicine.
Ideal for people with weak digestion, low appetite, congestion, or sluggish metabolism.
