| PAS 1 | The country with the highest number of traditional reports of P. nigrum for both human and veterinary medicine was India, mostly for menstrual and ear-nose-throat disorders in human and gastrointestinal disorders in livestock. (A systematic review on black pepper (Piper nigrum L.): From folk uses to pharmacological applications (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329591049_A_systematic_review_on_black_pepper_Piper_nigrum_L_From_folk_uses_to_pharmacological_applications ) |
| PAS 2 | 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.

| Community Practices | Farmer Rajeshwari U. (28) of Nadukuppam village in Villupuram district has a simple solution. “Dairy farmers in our village sit together as a group once a month and make masal urundai (medicinal balls) made of herbs like pirandai, sothu kathazhai, veliparuthi, etc. to boost immunity for our cows,” she said. Rajaram regularly uses a concoction of turmeric and jeera to build immunity for his poultry and trusts traditional systems for cure. However, he prefers allopathic vaccines for disease prevention or epidemic control.
