Cubebs Overview
Cubebs (Piper cubeba) is an evergreen shrub that is native to Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. It is a member of the pepper family (Piperaceae) and is closely related to black pepper (Piper nigrum). The berries of the plant have a pungent, aromatic smell and a slightly bitter taste. They are often used as a substitute for black pepper in cooking and are popular in a variety of dishes.
In traditional medicine, cubebs are believed to have a number of potential health benefits. They are thought to have expectorant, antiseptic, and astringent properties, and they are sometimes used to treat respiratory conditions, such as coughs and bronchitis, as well as digestive disorders, such as indigestion and diarrhea. Cubebs are also sometimes used as a natural remedy for urinary tract infections and prostate problems.

Bevacizumab (Avastin) is also used in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery in people who have not previously received chemotherapy. Bevacizumab injection products are in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumors. This may slow the growth and spread of tumors.
