Analgesic: Based on its dominant components, notably β-caryophyllene, d-limonene, and α- and β-pinene, Black Pepper is likely to have analgesic and antinociceptive actions. Ou et al. (2014) demonstrated this in a randomized controlled study, where a blend of Black Pepper, Marjoram, Lavender, and Peppermint (applied daily in a 3% cream formulation) was significantly more effective in reducing neck pain in comparison with a control group.

Smoking cessation: There is some evidence that supports the use of Black Pepper in smoking cessation. A randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of inhaled Black Pepper essential oil, and it was found that it significantly reduced the craving for cigarettes.

Warmth. Black Pepper adds warmth to blends, and not just from the olfactory perspective. It complements intense florals (such as Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang), and blends well with herbal oils (especially Basil), citrus oils (notably Bergamot), spicy oils (such as Clove Bud and Nutmeg), and the resinous Frankincense and Myrrh

Helps so much!

I love this oil, together with Jointment, to ease rthritis pain in my hands. I knit every day and this helps me so much! Thank you, Davina!!

Surprised how much I like this

I'm surprised at how much I like this oil. The scent is fairly mild, but gives a subtle spicy kick to whichever oils I pair it with in my diffuser. I've never used it topically, but I've really been enjoying it in my home fragrance rotation. Some favorites to mix it with are Wild Orange, Peppermint, or Clove.

Very tasty

I got this oil a while ago, but just recently decided to give it a try. I put some in some soup I made and it was seriously tasty! Very strong, so it goes a long way, but that isn't a bad thing! I'm very happy with my purchase. If I knew it was so great, I wouldn't have waited so long to try it. I'm also trying to drop 1 drip into a capsule along with olive oil for digestive issues, and it does seem to help!
