Piper nigrum (L.), popularly known as black pepper, is a member of family Piperaceae. The genus Piper includes more than 1000 species, but the best known are P. nigrum, Piper longum, and Piper betle. The fruits of P. nigrum contain piperine, a compound that has already shown leishmanicidal activity. Furthermore, secondary metabolites of this species possess active compounds with insecticidal activity, antibacterial, antifungal, and others.

"Setubhai Rawal is a matador of another kind. First of all, he does not use the red rag before the bull but a gunnysack. Neither does he aim at killing the animal to prove his own prowess, like the Spanish matador does with pomp, pageantry and publicity. He uses a couple of gunnysacks to restore an emaciated bull, buffalo or cow to normal health. In the gunnysacks he takes 100 gram Bishop weed (Trachyspermum ammi) and 50-gram black pepper (Piper nigrum). He then sets fire to the gunnysacks with its contents and exposes the emaciated animal to the smoke.
In the rather opaque cure, the smoke that is emanated raises fangs of fire in the animal metabolism. Within two to three days, the animal gets relief from emaciation. Sethubhai learnt this technique from his elders." |
