Gol Pipli, also known as Pippali Mool, is the root of the Long Pepper plant. It is a highly regarded herb in Ayurveda for its powerful effects on the respiratory and digestive systems. Known for its warming nature, Gol Pipli helps balance vata and kapha doshas and is often used in herbal formulations to promote metabolism, immunity, and lung strength.
At Farm Ayurveda, we source and process Gol Pipli with utmost care to preserve its natural properties. Its adaptogenic and carminative actions make it a trusted remedy in traditional healing systems, especially for treating colds, indigestion, and general weakness.
Gol Pipli has been used in Ayurvedic medicine since ancient times. It was prominently featured in classical texts like Charaka Samhita for treating respiratory disorders, fevers, and digestive ailments. Derived from the root of Piper longum, this herb was traded along with other pungent spices for its medicinal value and was a key component in rejuvenation therapies like “Trikatu” and “Chyawanprash.”
