Black Pepper Essential Oil

 Most of us are familiar with Black Pepper or its botanical name, Piper nigrum, as it is used in a multitude of culinary dishes and is a vital spice to have in the kitchen. Before it sat peacefully in your pantry or in a shaker on the counter, Black Pepper was once considered sacred and was even used as a form of currency. It was so valuable that it was once traded for gold. Black Pepper Essential Oil’s range of benefits is quite impressive. Apart from its antibacterial and antioxidant properties, it is also rich in vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, vitamin k, and beta-carotene. Medicinally, it is used to support the digestive and nervous systems. With its warming and energizing properties, it works to stimulate circulation and uplift the emotional state. Piperine is one of the active ingredients found in Black Pepper Essential Oil and is imperative to health due to its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and gastro-protective modules. Taking 1-2 drops internally, or applied topically, the power of Black Pepper Essential Oil has the ability to support the body systems and relieve a multitude of health concerns.

• Aids digestion- Ease discomfort from constipation, diarrhea, or gas. Take 1-2 drops internally by adding to a smoothie, soup, or your favorite savory dish.

• Relieve muscle aches- Add 1-2 drops into a carrier oil and rub over the area of concern. The warm, spicy, fragrance of Black Pepper Essential oil creates a heated sensation on the skin, bringing relief to sore, tight muscles.
