Description
Piper longum L., commonly known as Long Pepper or Pippali in Ayurveda, is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, native to South Asia, particularly India and Sri Lanka, with cultivation extending across Southeast Asia and East Africa. Long Pepper is one of the oldest spices used in Indian cooking and one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine, where it holds a prominent place in classical formulations for respiratory health, digestive support, and metabolic stimulation. Historically, Long Pepper was one of the first black pepper-related spices to reach ancient Mediterranean civilizations along early trade routes, and was traded at great value before being gradually replaced in European markets by the more commercially dominant Piper nigrum. In Ayurveda, Pippali is one of the three components of Trikatu — a classical spice formula combining Long Pepper, Black Pepper, and Ginger — used to stimulate agni (digestive fire) and enhance the bioavailability of other herbal medicines.
