ENERGETIC PROPERTIES

Chakra: Root (1st) and Sacral (2nd)

Black Pepper speaks to our most fundamental needs of safety and security.  It is calming and grounding and helps relieve stress and tension.  Use Black Pepper when you feel vulnerable and seek help with new relationships. 

SAFETY

Use a low dilution for Black Pepper and any warming oil (Clove Bud, Cinnamon, Tulsi Basil, and Nutmeg, just to name a few). For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Always dilute essential oils before applying to the skin and keep away from mucous membranes. Consult a licensed physician if pregnant or nursing. If the oil is past it’s “Best by” date or stored improperly, it may cause irritation and lose therapeutic value. Avoid the use of essential oils near infants and small children.

Black Pepper EO

This is a lovely-smelling essential oil - not harsh like a whiff of cracked black pepper! It has mainly fruity notes with an undertone of soft pepper.
