Description: The plant is originally a forest plant and this climbing woody vine uses trees or other supports to grow to about 7m high, but is normally kept to about 4m for commercial purposes and has a lifespan of about 20 years.
History: The word pepper is derived from the Latin word piper, which in turn is taken from the Sanskrit word pippali. It has been used since the times of the Ancient Romans and Greeks and even the Turks levied a tax on pepper, while the French, Portuguese and Dutch often went to war in the Middle Ages to fight for this lucrative trade from the far east.
Black pepper essential oil is derived from the Piper nigrum plant and is known for its distinct aroma and potential health benefits. While it is often used for therapeutic purposes, it's important to note that essential oils should be used with caution and under proper guidance due to their concentrated nature. Here are some potential non-therapeutic benefits and uses of black pepper essential oil:
Aromatherapy: Black pepper essential oil has a warm and spicy aroma that can be used in aromatherapy to create a cozy and comforting atmosphere. Its scent is believed to have mood-enhancing properties, promoting feelings of warmth and positivity. The strong aroma of black pepper essential oil can stimulate the senses and create a sense of alertness.
Massage: When diluted properly in a carrier oil, black pepper essential oil can be used in massage blends or added to a warm bath to potentially promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension.
Cautions: Black pepper oil may cause irritation to sensitive skins and using too much could over-stimulate the kidneys. Should be avoided in pregnancy due to its possible skin sensitising effect.
Safety data: Avoid during pregnancy; skin irritant (dilute before using externally); may trigger epileptic seizures in susceptible individuals.Packaging - See our blog on our commitment to sustainable packaging.
