Pippali, also known as Long Pepper, is a popular herb in Ayurveda renowned for its therapeutic qualities.
It is derived from the dried fruit of the Piper longum plant, which is native to India and other parts of Southeast Asia.
In Ayurveda, pippali is considered to have a heating effect and is often used to pacify imbalances related to the Vata and Kapha doshas.
Pippali is known for its unique spicy and pungent flavor, which is attributed to its active component called piperine.
Piperine is believed to enhance the bioavailability of other herbs and nutrients, making Pippali a valuable ingredient in Ayurvedic formulations.
