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.

Directions

Diffusion: Add 4-5 drops to home diffusers. Black Pepper oil blends well with Cinnamon, Turmeric, and Bergamot oils.

Hair growth: Add 3-4 drops in 15 ml of castor or jojoba oil. Massage the scalp and hair twice a week. During summers, use coconut or olive as the carrier oil.

Beauty products: Add one drop to creams, shampoos, conditioners, and DIY hair packs.

Bath: Add 2 drops in a tsp of coconut oil. Add this to the bathwater. Please do not add Black Pepper oil directly to the bathwater.
