Health Benefits of Allspice
Just as allspice contains a variety of flavors, so too does it benefit your health in varied ways. It's generally associated as having anti-inflammatory, rubefacient (warming and soothing), carminative and anti-flatulent properties, most commonly reported to provide relief from indigestion and gas. Its volatile oils contain eugenol, an antimicrobial agent that makes this spice effective in deodorants. The tannins in allspice provide a mild anesthetic that, with its warming effect, make it a popular home remedy for arthritis and sore muscles, used either as a poultice or in hot baths.
