Black Pepper Aromatherapy Oil is a delightfully aromatic and seductive essential oil which is used extensively in the perfume industry.

Black Pepper Essential Oil Aroma

The aroma of Black Pepper Essential Oil is powerfully engaging, with woody, floral and spicy tones. It is somewhat similar to the smell of freshly ground pepper corns, but it is more heady with a smokey, richly beguiling scent which almost defies comparison.

It mixes well with almost all other essential oils, but is particularly well suited to floral aromatherapy oils.

Black Pepper Essential Oil is considered to be warming, stimulating, antioxidant and toning. It is often used in aromatherapy massage oils with the intention of improving circulation, and detoxification – actions thought to reduce the appearance of conditions like cellulite as well as providing symptomatic relief from inflammatory disorders.

When applied, at the correct dilution, to the abdomen in may provide gastric relief from bloating, discomfort and gas.

Inspired by Maria Lis-Balchin, author of Aromatherapy Science, I successfully used Black Pepper Essential Oil to quit a 41 year smoking habit, by simply inhaling it’s aroma straight from the bottle every time I felt I needed a cigarette. There is no question in my mind I would have failed in the first two weeks had I not had this support. But, after the first couple of weeks the aroma was too heavy and curiously reminiscent of smoking, so I switched to Spearmint Essential Oil instead.

In folklore Black Pepper Aromatherapy Oil has earned itself the reputation for being an aphrodisiac. But, perhaps they were on to something…? Black Pepper Aromatherapy Oil is used extensively within the perfume industry as a middle note!
