Kali Mirch Dry Extract

Product Description

Kali Mirch, botanically known as Piper nigrum, is a well-known and widely used spice in Ayurveda, commonly known as Black Pepper. The dry extract of Kali Mirch is prepared from its dried fruits and is highly valued in Ayurvedic medicine for its powerful digestive, stimulant, and detoxifying properties. It is considered one of the best herbs for improving digestion, enhancing metabolism, and promoting overall health.

In Ayurveda, Kali Mirch is described as having a pungent (Katu) taste, with light (Laghu), sharp (Tikshna), and penetrating (Sukshma) qualities. It possesses heating potency (Ushna Virya) and has a pungent post-digestive effect (Katu Vipaka). It mainly balances Vata and Kapha doshas while sometimes increasing Pitta when taken in excess.

Kali Mirch Dry Extract is traditionally used to stimulate digestive fire (Agni), improve appetite, and support proper digestion. It helps relieve digestive disorders like indigestion, gas, bloating, and flatulence. It also works as a natural detoxifier by removing toxins (Ama) from the body and promoting healthy metabolism. Kali Mirch is a well-known Deepana (digestive stimulant) and Pachana (carminative) herb in Ayurveda.

Additionally, Kali Mirch Dry Extract supports respiratory health by helping to clear mucus and relieve cough, cold, and asthma symptoms due to its expectorant properties. It also acts as an antioxidant and supports immunity by enhancing the absorption of nutrients and medicines, especially when used with other herbs (a property called Yogavahi).

Modern research highlights that Kali Mirch contains piperine, an active compound known to improve bioavailability of nutrients, support metabolism, and exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties.
