BLACK PEPPER Essential Oil

Black Pepper Essential Oil  is mildly stimulating, wonderful in a pre-sports rub to loosen muscles; as well as in a pain reliever for overworked muscles.

Black Pepper oil  is also a circulatory stimulant, expanding the capillaries in the fingers and toes, thus bringing warmth to cold hands and feet.

Aromatically, Black Pepper Oil  is a surprise...mild and almost woody in aroma, it does NOT smell like the peppercorns from which it is distilled, until the dry down. Initially, it has a soft almost floral/wood note. 

Black Pepper Oil is my favorite circulatory stimulant.  As such, it can be helpful with arthritis, neuralgia, poor circulation, general stiffness, sprains, and sciatica.

We have had positive feedback from people using Black Pepper Oil  to help ease the symptoms of  Reynaud's syndrome.  We use it, with Helichrysum and Lavandin in our blend for nerve and/or joint pains.

 Emotionally Black Pepper Essential Oil  is an aphrodisiac, and also is said to both increase self confidence and to be grounding and stabilizing.. Some authorities recommend it for concentration and memory loss.

Black Pepper oil is said to heighten alertness, assertiveness, and improve the user's self-image,  

It is also a strong anti-bacterial and anti-viral oil, warming and comforting for congestion, the flu, etc.

Jeanne Rose has done some testing that indicates inhaling black pepper may be helpful for those trying to stop smoking.   Black Pepper oil is also a stimulant, very useful for emotional or mental fatigue.
