The Profile

Black Pepper is a perennial woody vine native to Southwest India, now cultivated throughout the tropics. The essential oil is clear to pale olive in color with a fresh, dry, and woody-spicy aroma. Unlike the ground spice, the essential oil does not usually irritate the eyes or cause sneezing, but it retains the characteristic "heat" that makes it a prized circulatory stimulant.

Therapeutic Actions

Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Antitoxic, Aphrodisiac, Carminative, Diaphoretic, Digestive, Diuretic, Febrifuge, Laxative, Rubefacient, Stimulant (nervous, circulatory, and digestive), Stomachic, Tonic.

Usage & Benefits

·         Skin: Occasionally used in very low dilutions to treat chilblains or chronic skin issues by stimulating local circulation; however, it is primarily used for its internal/muscular effects.

·         Respiratory: Chills, colds, and flu. It helps to warm the body and stimulate the immune response during the "shivering" stage of an illness.

·         Digestive: Colic, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, heartburn, loss of appetite, and nausea. It strengthens the stomach and promotes healthy digestion.

·         Circulatory/Muscular: Anemia, arthritis, muscular aches and pains, neuralgia, poor muscle tone, rheumatism, and sprains. It is one of the best oils for preparing muscles for athletic activity.

·         Nervous System: Mental fatigue and nervous exhaustion. It is a "wakening" oil that provides a sharp boost to the senses.

Emotional Benefit

Black Pepper is the "Oil of Motivation." It is used to ignite a fire in the belly of those who feel "stuck," indifferent, or emotionally cold. It provides the stamina and courage needed to face difficult tasks and helps to overcome the fear of taking risks.

The "At Home" Remedies

1.       Pre-Sport Muscle Tonic: Mix 2 drops of Black Pepper with 1 teaspoon of carrier oil and massage into limbs before exercise to warm the muscles and help prevent injury.

2.      Digestive Comfort Rub: For constipation or sluggish digestion, dilute 2 drops in a teaspoon of carrier oil and massage the abdomen in a slow, clockwise circle.

3.       Winter Warmth Foot Rub: For those who suffer from chronically cold feet, mix 1 drop with 1 teaspoon of lotion and rub into the soles to stimulate blood flow.
