Allspice (Pimenta dioica): Allspice was included in the British Codex from 1721-1914. It was principally an aromatic stimulant and carminative, good for flatulence, indigestion and hysterical paroxyms. Aqua pimentae was an ingredient in stomach and purgative medicines, and also played a part in the treatment of rheumatism and neuralgia. The powdered berries have been used for dyspepsia and also to disguise the taste of disagreeable medicines.
