Ayurveda is an ancient medical science. As we use it in various ways in daily life we can’t even think where it is with us. In Puranas, we have heard many spiritual stories about gods and devils, and the evolution of Ayurveda is a kind of spiritual story. There are lots of references that show us how Ayurveda is evolved.
Pippali or Piper longum (long pepper) is one of the best medicinal herbs in Ayurvedic practice, for ages. Studded with immense medicinal and disease-modifying properties, Pippali is used as both preventive as well as curative medicine. Pippali has been praised to have good Rasayana properties (Rasayana = immune-modulators, anti-aging, rejuvenators, disease modifiers, longevity promoters). Pippali used as a single herb, or as a part of the compound, yields a good cure in many systemic diseases, including stubborn and chronic ones.
