Aromatherapy Pure Essential Oil Premium Grade. Black pepper essential oil can be used in your aromatherapy formulas and in perfumery. The essential oil is extracted from dried, fully grown yet unripe fruit of the pepper plant - a perennial woody vine with heart shaped leaves and small white flowers. A native to south west India, pepper is cultivated primarily in tropical climates. Black pepper has been used since antiquity in the culinary and healing arts. In Chinese medicine, white pepper, from the fully ripened fruit, is used to treat malaria, cholera, dysentery, diarrhea and other digestive problems. Black Pepper is best known for increasing circulation, muscle aches, constipation, nausea, flatulance, poor digestion and apetite loss. Black pepper is good in warming liniment formulas - for aches and pains, along with poor circulation in muscles and joints; it is thought to combine well with Basil oil for this application. It is included in many massage blends to increase blood flow, and may also actually stimulate blood production as a tonic for the spleen. Black pepper is commonly added to massage blends to enhance circulation. It also adds a lovely 'spicy' note to aromatic and perfume blends. The fragrance is comforting and stimulating. May be applied to the bottoms of the feet, or elsewhere on the body when diluted in a carrier oil. Can be used in diffusers that utilize thicker oils effectively.
