CUBEBA:
Piper Cubeba.Tailed pepper Natural Order: Piperaceae.
Tincture of dried unripe fruit.
Proved and introduced by Broughton. Also proved by Houat.
The name pepper is derived from the Sanskrit pippali, designating the long pepper.
The three Piperaceae used in homoeopathy - Piper nigrum, Piper methysticum and Cubeba - are all characterised by their extremely aggravating effect on the mucous membranes. In addition, Piper methysticum works on the central and peripheral nervous system. Cubeba has this to a much lesser degree, while Piper nigrum does not have it at all. The ash of the tailed pepper contains a lot of calcium, magnesium, ammonium and phosphorus.
A climbing perennial plant, with flowers in spikes. The fruit is a globose, pedicelled drupe. It is extensively grown in coffee plantations, well shaded and supported by the coffee trees. Odour aromatic and characteristic; taste strongly aromatic and pungent and somewhat bitter.
The flowers of Piper cubeba are larger and more individual than those on the Piper nigrum. The berries are plucked with the stalk when still yellow. During the drying process, they become as hard as glass. The pepper plant thrives in a moist, warm climate, from sea level to a height of approx. 500 metres in the tropics, with an evenly distributed rainfall.
Cubeb oil, obtained by distillation from cubeb, is a colourless, pale yellow, or bluish-green liquid with a warm characteristic odour and a camphoraceous taste.
As a spice, tailed pepper has nowadays been almost completely displaced by black and white pepper. It is used to a considerable extent by singers to relieve fullness in the throat, eating the berries for that purpose.
Cubeba corresponds to catarrh. It is an old-world remedy for gonorrhoea and gleet, but it affects the mucous membrane of the nose, air passages and intestines, as well as that of the urino-genital tract. It acts well in persons of bilious temperament with tendency to constipation.
After the inflammatory stage is passed under the usual remedies for that stage, if there still remains burning in the urethra after micturition, andthe discharge remains thick, yellow, or pus-like (with Puls. the discharge is bland; with Merc. all symptoms are < at night).
Some of its most characteristic symptoms are; Burning in throat with dryness,constant need to swallow saliva; burning in stomach; in abdomen; in rectum; in urethra; in fossa navicularis.
There is a sensation of downward weight and pressure in region of femoral ring, < on walking, riding, or lifting. Stools and colic are < at night in bed; > getting up and walking about. Skin diseases concomitant with kidney affections. Urine foaming, albuminous, bloody. Acrid leucorrhoea in children.
Better from getting up and walking about. Worse from night in bed.
Exaltation of temper and of the mental faculties. On violent agitations he was aroused for a moment; uttered some incoherent expression and sank back into a comatose sleep.
Delusion he is unfortunate ["much disturbed about his health and social position"].
"Regards himself as more of an invalid than he really is." [Allen]"Impulse to swear at people, to strike them and spit in their face, even to bite them." [Allen]
"Proneness to debauchery and every kind of excess. ... Shamelessly indecent in thoughts, words, and gestures." [Allen]
Catarrh of nose and throat with fetid odour and expectoration, fetid, >greenish-yellow. The mucus trickles from the nose into the throat.
Desire for delicacies, rich food, stimulants, nuts.
Urethro-vaginitis chronic with profuse discharge.
Compare; Copaiva (with which it is compatible). Piper methyst. Piper nigrum and Matico (botanical). Capsic; Canth. (irritable bladder in females); Tereb.; Cannab. sat.; Iod. (membranous croup).
