About

Pippalipippalimooladi Ghrutham (also known as Pippali Pippalimoola Ghrita) is a classical Ayurvedic medicated ghee formulation mainly used for respiratory disorders, digestive issues, and rejuvenation.

The preparation derives its name from its principal ingredients — Pippali (long pepper) and Pippalimoola (root of long pepper plant) — both of which are renowned for their Deepana (appetite-stimulating), Pachana (digestive), and Rasayana (rejuvenative) actions.

This ghee nourishes the respiratory tract, strengthens digestive fire (Agni), and helps remove Ama (toxins) from the body. It is beneficial for conditions like asthma, bronchitis, chronic cough, indigestion, and general debility.
