Allspice received its name because its aroma and taste resembles nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper. It is best known for its digestive properties but can also be used to help the pains associated with arthritis and hemorrhoids. A powerful antioxidant with antifungal properties, allspice can also be used effectively for treating yeast and fungal infections.
