The best way to consume Black Pepper Powder is with Ayurvedic Carrier Substances (Anupanas). Anupana is a carrier substance or vehicle that carries herbs into the body for proper assimilation and full effect. The herb becomes more potent when you take it with the right Anupana.

You can take Black Pepper Powder with warm water for all body types.

Black pepper is widely used as a spice in many cultures, and in Ayurveda, it is used as a carrier of other herbs to different areas of the body. These positive effects are the reason why it is an integral part of traditional trikatu formulation.

As an Ayurvedic supplement, it aids in digestion, circulation, and stimulating the metabolism by maintaining healthy secretion of digestive juices. These actions promote metabolism and support the regular and healthy functioning of the digestive system. When accompanied by a balanced diet and regular exercise, these benefits can support optimal weight management.

Also, when we take it with other herbs and supplements, Black Pepper Powder encourages the natural assimilation of nutrients in the body for optimal health.

Additionally, its phytonutrient composition supports our natural defense system in producing the right immune response to support removal of free radicals. Subsequently, this helps the body deal with occasional inflammation, external stressors, and other disruptions. This way, it helps support vitalization of several organs such as the stomach and liver.

It encourages the regular functioning of the respiratory system by aiding the body’s maintaining a clear respiratory tract. It includes lungs, nasal cavities, and the throat. The healthy elimination of toxins and protecting the respiratory membranes from occasional build up of Kapha helps to breathe easily.

Also, its bioactive nutrients support skin rejuvenation and a youthful glow.

The dry and light qualities of the herb effectively balance Vata and Kapha doshas levels for the optimal health and wellbeing of your body.

The pungent active principles and volatile essential oils are highly potent at that time. It is when it gets its black color. After harvesting, we ensure that black pepper fruit is not exposed to direct sunlight and always shade-dried. Also, our farmers handpicked the mature pepper fruit for drying. After drying, black pepper fruit is pulverized into powder in small batches to maintain its freshness and potency.
