Description
Pirul (Schinus molle)—also known as Peruvian Pepper Tree, California Pepper Tree, Molle, and in Spanish Pirúl / Árbol del Pirul—is a traditional cleansing and protective herb valued for its respiratory support, antimicrobial power, and energetic purification. Rich in essential oils, tannins, flavonoids, and warming aromatic compounds, pirul helps open the lungs, clear mucus, and cleanse stagnant energy.
Commonly used to ease cough, bronchial congestion, sinus pressure, inflammation, infections, muscle tension, and cold-induced discomfort, pirul also supports circulation and is traditionally burned or used in baths for spiritual cleansing and protection. Its warming–aromatic profile helps break up phlegm while uplifting the mind.
Enjoyed as a tea, steam inhalation, poultice, tincture, or spiritual bath, pirul offers both physical respiratory relief and deep energetic clearing.
