Allspice (Mexican), powder

Scientific Name: Pimento Officinalis, Myrtacae Family

AKA: Pimento, Jamaica Pepper

Parts Used: Essential Oil, Fruit - Berries, including the shell

Active Compounds: Allspice contains anywhere from 3-4% volatile oil, which is about 80% eugenol derived from the glands in the pericarp of the seeds. Some resin, of an unknown amount, may be present, along with vitamins A, B1, B2, and C. It also has proteins, lipids, and minerals.

Background: It is commonly known as Allspice because it smells and tastes like a combination of cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon, and pepper. With a rich history stemming in the Caribbean, it has traditionally been used as a spice in food preparation and is now regarded to have medicinal value.

Applications: Nutritional/Digestive

Allspice is used to flavor foods, but is also used in food preparation with specific ailments in mind to help the person consuming it.

Nutritional: Used to flavor sauces, condiments, and chutney as well as other dishes.

Digestive: Used as a warming agent in foods and wine and as an aromatic ingredient that helps aid in digestion and indigestion. Stimulates the gastro-intestinal tract similarly to how cloves are used and relieves flatulence and diarrhea. Used in combination with other laxative ingredients.

Description:
Allspice is native to the Caribbean, and is extensively grown in Jamaica. They begin producing fruit when they are three years old.

An evergreen tree that sprouts clusters of flowers that are small and white in color between June and August. Small green berries also grow on the up to 40 foot tall tree and they turn brown when mature. However, the berries are usually harvested before maturity because the more it matures, the less volatile oil it contains.

When the berries are harvested, they are dried and exported to different corners of the world for processing.

Dosage:
Pimento Water: For digestive ailments, use 5 parts Pimento to 200 parts water, distilling it to 100. Each does should be 1-2 ounces.

Essential Oil: Take 2-5 drops of the oil with sugar or syrup.

Powder: 10-30 grains

Safety:
Consult a professional before orally ingesting the essential oil and do not take it during pregnancy.
