It was first described and named Piper methysticum,
meaning ‘‘intoxicating pepper’’ in 1786, and was not
highly used as a medicinal plant in Western botanical
medicine. It was recognized by the Eclectics in the late
nineteenth century as a local anesthetic, CNS depressant,
and cardiac stimulant, and as a treatment for gonorrhea.
In the early twentieth century the Eclectics cited its use for
neuralgic conditions of the eyes, ears, and teeth, for edema,
and for gastric atony and postsurgical anorexia. The herb
was listed in the 20th to 24th editions of The United States
Dispensatory of the United States of America (1918–1947) and
the fluid extract had official status in the 4th and 5th editions
of the National Formulary (1888–1926).
