What is Turmeric (Curcuma longa) with Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)?

Almost everyone knows turmeric and black pepper — but mostly only as spices. Did you know, however, that both of these components have been valued as powerful medicinal plants for thousands of years? Each one is impressive on its own, but together turmeric and black pepper form an unbeatable duo.

In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric and black pepper are considered far more than just flavor enhancers for food…

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family and originally comes from the island of Java. Today, it is cultivated throughout Asia and Africa. Curcuma longa is a plant that grows to about 1 meter high, sprouting from a rhizome. With its large, stalked leaves and yellow flowers, it strongly resembles the ginger plant.

Piper nigrum, black pepper, belongs to the pepper family. This climbing plant grows along trees and can reach heights of up to 10 meters. Originally native to India, the unripe fruits are harvested and dried, turning them wrinkled and black — the black pepper we know.

In producing our tablets, we follow the principles of Ayurvedic medicine. That is why we use only turmeric roots from valuable organic cultivation. After the aerial parts of the plant have withered, the rhizomes are carefully cut, gently dried, and finely ground. Only after passing our strict quality controls is the raw material pressed into tablets.

Add a Touch of Spice to Your Well-Being

In Ayurveda, the beneficial properties of turmeric and black pepper have long been known. Turmeric has been successfully used in Indian culture for more than 4000 years. Early records can be found in the Ayurvedic textbook Susruta Samhita (around 250 BC), which describes its use in cases of food poisoning.

According to Ayurvedic tradition, turmeric has a highly beneficial influence on the digestive system and is used for bloating, cramps, upper abdominal pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. Ayurvedic practitioners also use turmeric for itchy or scaly skin conditions, coughs, and colds.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the healing properties of turmeric are equally valued. In the 17th-century surgical handbook Wai Ke Zheng Zong, physician Chen Shi-Gong described the successful use of Curcuma longa for liver dysfunction, rheumatism, psoriasis, and menstrual disorders.

According to TCM, turmeric strengthens the Qi flow of the meridians and supports the body’s defense system. It is considered warming and at the same time heat-clearing, making it a popular remedy in TCM for muscle and joint pain as well as intestinal and skin problems.

In Ayurveda, black pepper is also valued as a medicinal plant, traditionally used for respiratory issues, circulatory problems, and digestive disturbances caused by heavy, fatty foods.

Turmeric with black pepper contains valuable active compounds, including: curcuminoids, essential oils, sesquiterpenes, polysaccharides, hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, peptides (such as tumerin), terpenes (phellandrene, cineole, borneol), capric acid.
