Pipli For Cough - #7340

Anonymously

I’ve had a persistent dry cough for over three weeks now, and it’s making it difficult for me to sleep at night or even focus during the day. A family friend who uses Ayurveda suggested trying Pipli for cough, as it is considered a very effective remedy for respiratory issues. She said that Pipli (long pepper) works as a natural expectorant and helps reduce irritation in the throat while clearing up phlegm. I started reading about Pipli for cough, and it seems like it’s widely used in Ayurveda for various respiratory problems like chronic cough, asthma, and bronchitis. Apparently, it also strengthens the lungs and improves overall immunity, which I feel I really need right now because my cough just won’t go away. The only thing I’m unsure about is how to use Pipli for cough properly. Some people say it works best when mixed with honey, while others recommend drinking it with warm water or milk. Does anyone here have experience using Pipli for cough? What method worked best for you, and how often did you take it to see results? I’m also curious if Pipli for cough has any side effects. Since it’s slightly heating in nature, could it cause issues like acidity or throat dryness if taken for too long? If anyone has successfully used Pipli for cough, I’d love to know how long it took to get relief and whether it helped with both dry and productive coughs. Are there any other Ayurvedic remedies that combine well with Pipli for cough for faster recovery?

Doctors’ responses

Pipli (long pepper) is indeed a highly effective remedy in Ayurveda for respiratory issues like persistent dry cough, asthma, and bronchitis. It works as a natural expectorant, helping to clear phlegm and reduce throat irritation, making it especially useful for both dry and productive coughs. It can be consumed in several ways: mixing powdered Pipli with honey is common, as honey soothes the throat and enhances its healing properties. You can also take it with warm water or milk, depending on your preference and constitution. The typical dosage is about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of powdered Pipli, once or twice daily, but it’s important not to overuse it, as its heating nature might aggravate acidity or cause throat dryness in some individuals. Generally, relief can be noticed after a few days to a week, depending on the severity of the cough. As for side effects, overconsumption or using it for long periods can lead to irritation, especially if you are prone to acidity or sensitivity. For faster recovery, you can combine Pipli with other Ayurvedic remedies like Tulsi (holy basil) or Ginger, which also support respiratory health and immunity.
