It is most beneficial for preventing ill health, which is due to the fact that the spice has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties. These factors make allspice a modern-day cure-all and an amazing way to slow the effects of ageing, including the reduction of wrinkles and age spots.

The various minerals found in allspice make it a fantastic aid for the digestive system. Adding this spice to your meals could help reduce flatulence while also regulating bowel movements and lowering the risk of constipation and diarrhoea. It is also known to reduce stomach cramps and increase appetite as well as to reduce nausea and vomiting. The manganese present in this spice can help in weight loss, as it regulates fat metabolism and blood glucose.
