Uses.—Cubeb is generally stimulant, with a special direction to the urinary organs. In considerable quantities it excites the circulation, increases the heat of the body, and sometimes occasions headache & giddiness. At the same time it frequently produces an augmented flow of the urine, to which it imparts a peculiar odor. Among its effects are also occasionally nausea and moderate purging, and it is said to cause a sense of coolness in the rectum during the passage of the feces. We have no evidence that it was known to the ancients. It was probably first brought into Europe by the Arabians, and was formerly employed for similar purposes as black pepper, but it was found much less powerful and fell into disuse. In India it has long been used in gonorrhea and gleet, and as a grateful stomachic and carminative in disorders of the digestive organs, and it is at present very frequently given both in this country and in Europe in gonorrhea, after the subsidence of the first active inflammatory symptoms. It has been given also in leucorrhea, cystorrhea, the urethritis of women and female children, abscess of the prostate gland, piles, and chronic bronchitis. In connection with copaiba it has been especially recommended in affections of the neck of the bladder and the prostatic portion of the urethra.
It is best administered in powder, of which the dose in gonorrhea is from one to three drachms (3.9-11.6 Gm.) three or four times a day. The volatile oil may be substituted, in the dose of ten or twelve minims (0.6-0.7 mil), suspended in water by means of sugar, although the oleo-resin is generally preferred.
Dose, of powdered cubeb, ten grains to one drachm (0.65-3.9 Gm.).
