There's a good reason why black pepper is considered the 'king of
spices'. With its aromatic taste, large selection of culinary uses, and
great variety of medicinal advantages, black pepper has gained a place
of honor in any kitchen or spice rack, and even in the medicine cabinet.
Since ancient times, pepper has appeared in many medicinal arts, for
its ability to calm stomach aches, reduce liver problems, lung diseases,
and digestion problems. It can also improve blood flow, act as an
anti-depressant and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
My granny taught me many great uses for this spice, and now I'll share
some with you.

teaspoon of black pepper to a glass of buttermilk. Mix in some finely
cut onion and drink.
