Black Pepper Essential Oil "pipper nigrum"

Origin: Black pepper, whose scientific name is Piper nigrum, is native to India, but it is also cultivated in other tropical regions of the world, such as Indonesia, Brazil and Malaysia.

Properties: Black pepper essential oil has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, stimulant and expectorant properties. It can also be a good digestive tonic and appetite stimulant.

Uses: Black pepper essential oil is used in aromatherapy to treat muscle and joint pain, respiratory problems, digestive problems and to improve blood circulation. Additionally, it is used in the food industry to add flavor and aroma to a variety of foods and beverages, and is also found in personal care products, such as soaps, creams, and lotions.

Method of production: Black pepper essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the dried and ripe fruits of the black pepper plant. The fruits are crushed and subjected to a steam distillation process, which separates the essential oils of black pepper from the water. The essential oil is collected and packaged for use. Importantly, large quantities of black pepper fruits are required to produce a small amount of essential oil, making it a valuable and expensive essential oil.
