Black Pepper Essential Oil

Black Pepper Essential Oil

Latin Name: Piper nigrum
Plant Family: Piperaceae
Extraction: Distillation of the shrub & fruit

Black Pepper essential oil is extracted from the dried, crushed black peppercorns by steam distillation. Black pepper essential oil has a very sharp and spicy aroma with a clear to slightly yellow colouring and is helpful for everyday aches and pains, helping to warm and relax the body.

This plant bears white flowers, red fruits and dark green leaves with climbing vines that look similar to a shrub. It grows over twenty feet tall. The essential oil is derived from black pepper, not white since the oil yield is greater and the scent is stronger.
