Black Pepper Essential Oil is a warming oil that has a stimulating effect on body and mind; a great one to add to the burner if you have a task to do to (its a very powerful oil, so a little goes a long way).

It may also help to improve circulation and ease digestive problems. Black Pepper essential oil is commonly used in athletic massage rubs (its one of the star ingredients in our best-selling Muscle & Joint Gel). read more

It's properties are often thought to be similar to those of capsicum. Historically it's been used as a muscle relaxant and an aphrodisiac for thousands of years. It's also said to help improve concentration.

To diffuse in a traditional burner, simply fill dish with water and add a few drops of oil on top before lighting the candle. For electrical fragrancers, follow instructions given by the manual. For massage: dilute in a carrier oil and gently massage over the skin. Add a few drops to a handkerchief or inhale directly from the bottle if you are on the go. Dilute in distilled water and pour into spray bottle for an all-natural room fragrancer.

You may find that Black Pepper blends especially well with bergamot, clary sage, clove, coriander, fennel, frankincense, geranium, ginger, grapefruit, lavender, juniper, lemon, lime, mandarin, sage, sandalwood and ylang-ylang.

Native to south west India, cultivated in tropical countries including India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Madagascar.

Dilute to a maximum of 1% in a carrier oil and use as a muscle rub after a session in the gym or the garden. Add a few drops to a burner to help energise and focus the mind (it blends beautifully with the citrus oils). Add a few drops to a warm bath to help ease the joints.

Traditionally used as a muscle relaxant and aphrodisiac. Used for over 4000 years in folk medicine.

Dilute in a carrier oil before skin application. Keep away from children and out of eyes. Do not take internally or apply undiluted to the skin. For further advice on using essential oils to treat medical conditions, we recommend you seek advice from a professional.

I am 'warming' to this oil. I like to try new oils, especially for their aroma, and black pepper wasn't especially interesting from this perspective. But I am now adding it to moisturisers and find it adds a depth and warmth to the mixture. Not much needed, so good value too.
