Our Black Pepper Oil is steam distilled from sun-dried peppercorn fruit of the Piper nigrum flowering vine growing in India. Black Pepper Essential Oil has a fine aromatic profile of rich, energizing spice with subtle floral and fruit notes - perfect for adding warmth and energy to aromatherapy formulations.
Because of Black Pepper's powerful chemical components, this essential oil is much more than just a handy spice in the kitchen. Black Pepper Oil is high in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, which are natural chemicals known for their antioxidant activity and their ability to support the immune system when needed most.
Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) is possibly one of the oldest trade commodities of the East where it has been in continuous use for over 4,000 years for medicinal and culinary purposes. It was so highly prized throughout the ancient civilized world that in 408 CE, Attila the Hun reputedly demanded 3,000 pounds of black peppercorns as part of the ransom for the city of Rome.
