Pepper has been among the most important spices used around the world for thousands of years. It was even considered precious in medieval Europe. Initially, it was used medicinally and later added to food for its flavour. Black pepper has a distinctive aroma and an intense taste.
Description
Historically, pepper was valued to aid digestion and cause sneezing. Clinical trials have shown that the main constituent, piperine, acts as an anti-inflammatory, inhibits parasites and can protect the liver.
The oil is extracted from the berries of this plant by the method of steam distillation. It is usually colourless to pale green and has a spicy and sharp peppercorn smell. It is a warming oil with stimulant properties. It can be an irritant in large quantities, so our inventors use it with great care.
Aromatherapists recommend black pepper oil for headaches, poor circulation, aching muscles, as a natural pain reliever and to combat mental fatigue.
