Piper Nigrum is prepared from black pepper. I have found it very effective against sneezing problems where the other well-known remedies had failed. It is especially beneficial to those patients who are allergic to black pepper. These patients have an outburst of sneezing as soon as black pepper is sprinkled on anything. The remedy is also effective in treating the problems of patients who sneeze due to reasons other than allergy to black pepper.
The patient of Piper Nigrum remains by nature sad and depressed. The patient cannot concentrate on anything. His thoughts become scattered. The patient is startled by the slightest sound. He feels severe pain and burning in the eyeballs as if they are about to explode. If there is itching in the nose and sneezing also, then Piper Nigrum should be used. The Piper Nigrum patient has a tendency to bleed from the nose. His lips are dry, his head feels heavy and there is pressure over his temples. There is pain and burning sensation in the tonsil area of the throat. The patient feels very thirsty. The stomach is full of gas. The patient may also suffer from severe intestinal colic.
There is burning inside the bladder and along the urethra. The bladder appears full and distended. There is difficulty in passing urine. The patient, despite a constant urge, cannot urinate. Piper Nigrum is very useful in alleviating this condition. In all ailments of Piper Nigrum, the feeling of pressure and burning is common.
A Piper Nigrum patient also exhibits the symptoms of heart disease. There is pain in the chest, provoking cough. The heart beats very fast. There is difficulty in breathing. The patient feels pain over the heart area. Sometimes the pulse feels slow and interrupted. As lactating mothers produce much more milk than the need of their baby, Piper Nigrum is very useful in reducing the formation of milk in such women.
