Background

The famous Indian spice Black peppers come from the Piper nigrum plants native to the Western Ghats. The plant is a perennial climber growing up to 10 m in height and has short roots. Because of its hot and spicy flavour and potent health benefits, it is one of the most frequently used spices all over the world. In the past, Black peppers were considered so valuable that they were used as a form of currency for international trade. They were valued more than gold until the middle of the 18th century. Ancient Greeks and Romans were known for their love of this spice, and peppers marked an important link of trade between the east and the west.

General Information

Ecodrop’s Black Pepper essential oil is extracted from dried black peppers through the steam distillation process. The peppers are sourced from organic Piper nigrum plantations in India, certified organic by the UK Soil Association. The oil has a warm, spicy, and musky aroma.

Benefits and Uses

Uses

Therapeutic uses: The warming property of Black Pepper oil is excellent for thinning mucus and clearing sinus blockages. Inhaling the essential oil immediately clears nasal congestions. It is traditionally used as a natural medicine for cold, cough, headaches, and allergies.

Aromatherapy: The deep, penetrative aroma of Black Pepper promotes mental alertness and boosts brain function. Its energy-boosting properties are considered similar to that of caffeine. It helps in cases of drowsiness, lack of motivation, absent-mindedness, etc. This oil discourages inactivity and is ideal for day time use.

Haircare: Black Pepper oil is great for stimulating hair growth and supports hair health by reaching deep layers of the scalp. The oil is also a strong antioxidant that prevents dullness and discolouration of hair.

Skincare: It increases blood circulation to the skin and is a natural detoxifier that protects against environmental damage.

Aids digestion: Black Pepper oil stimulates the production of digestive juices and helps in conditions of indigestion, partial digestion, and constipation. It may also help with abdominal discomfort associated with IBS.
