Black Pepper Essential Oil

Black Pepper Essential Oil

Black pepper essential oil is one oil that should not be applied directly to the skin without dilution. This oil is extremely potent and can easily irritate sensitive skin, producing a burning sensation.

It should always be diluted using a ratio of 1 drop per 10 drops of carrier or pure vegetable oil.

Black pepper is a good antispasmodic for sore muscles and joints and it can also help to dispel cold. Always patch-test it before applying directly to the skin.

In view of its strength it should not be taken internally. Use regular black table pepper for seasoning, not the oil.

You can also use it in the same way as oil of clove for toothaches and dental pain; dilute with oil in a ratio of 1:1.
