Aromatherapy Share: Essence of the Week - Pepper, Black (Piper nigrum)...

Black Pepper is a Certified Organic berry essence from Sri Lanka that comes from a perennial flowering vine. She was used in Egyptian tombs, as a spice for trade, and as a source of Vitamin A and C. There are 700 different species of Pepper in the world. Black Pepper oil has calcium, potassium, and selenium, (which is a key mineral to help the brain, bones, nails, and teeth).

Black Pepper is anti-viral, addressing the flu, common cold, and infections. She helps to clean the blood and promotes good circulation. As a kidney and urinary stimulant, Black Pepper also supports the liver and pancreas. For muscle pain, neuralgia, and frigidity, this powerful fruit helps with pain, wounds, and chi-warming. She is a natural detoxifier and laxative, and she is wonderful for the stomach, gas, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Energetically, Black Pepper helps to dispel darkness, negativity, and blocked energy. She opens the 3rd eye and helps us to see our personal vision for our future. Black Pepper helps to instil courage, self-worth, and personal empowerment. She helps us all to shift into that higher frequncy and do the best that we can each day.

Anoint Black Pepper over the heart to help strengthen the aura and keep out negativity, dis-ease, and the shadow side. Use onto the wrists and neck to get into the major veins and arteries for immune support. 5-10 drops "neat" onto the skin, 2-3 times a day, for 120 days, is a wonderful start for self-care.
