Black Pepper Essential Oil

Emotionally
Black Pepper is both comforting and emotionally invigorating. It can help to ease tiredness, reduce mental stress and lift a tired spirit, making it a great choice for times when you need to recharge or refocus.

Physically
Known for its warming and soothing effects, Black Pepper can relieve muscle tension and support circulation. It can also improve sluggish digestion when used in a massage blend. Thanks to its natural anti-bacterial properties, Black Pepper helps to support the immune system and ease congestion – try blending it with Tea Tree and Eucalyptus and using it in a diffuser at the first sign of a cold.

Black Pepper essential oil is warm and spicy with a fresh woody aroma.

Aromatically, Black Pepper is a middle note essential oil, the main body and balance of a blend, meaning its scent will last a few hours. It blends well with May Chang, Geranium or Lemon Tea Tree.

Like other spice essential oils, Black Pepper started life in the Middle to the Far East, travelling to the rest of the world via the spice routes. It is native to both India and Indonesia, and has been used therapeutically in traditional medicine for centuries. In Ayurvedic medicine, it was thought not only to warm the body, but also re-energise the system and restore vitality. It is also mentioned in texts as a remedy to clear congestion from the body and improve circulation. Black Pepper was once considered to be such a valuable commodity that it was used as currency.

Its familiar ‘peppery’ smell comes from a particular aromatic chemical found in the peppercorn, rotundone, which you can also find in Marjoram, Basil and Thyme, and some red wine grapes – hence the ’peppery’ note you often hear about when wine is described.
