Kalimirch or Black pepper is a commonly found spice in every house. It is an integral part of various cuisines and also has a number of medicinal uses as well.
It aids in digestion and helps in weight loss by improving the metabolism of the body. It is also useful in managing diarrhoea due to its anti-diarrheal and anti-secretory activity.
Kalimirch is beneficial for cough and respiratory problems due to its antitussive (relieving cough) and anti-asthmatic properties. You can drink Kalimirch tea (kwath) to get relief from throat problems and cough. Adding Kalimirch powder to your daily diet helps to improve sexual desire as well as the sexual performance of men due to its aphrodisiac properties.
Applying Kalimirch oil along with Sesame or Coconut Oil helps to reduce pain and inflammation related to arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Kalimirch powder paste along with honey can be applied on the skin to get rid of various skin problems like eczema and other infections due to its antimicrobial property.
However, it should be kept in mind that Kalimirch might cause skin allergies in some people when applied directly to the skin. So, it is advisable to use it in combination with honey, coconut or sesame oil. In case of contact with eyes, it should be rinsed immediately with plain water to avoid redness and burning.
