The Goddess Notes

This smokey, woody, mid-note essential oil has slowly become one of my favourite oils to use. Black pepper, Piper nigrum, with its warm spicy scent is native to South West India and cultivated in tropical countries, including India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Madagascar.

It’s warming properties are stimulating and strengthening on the nervous system. It will boost in times of mental fatigue and re-energize. I love it for its circulatory stimulating properties, as someone who suffers from poor circulation Black pepper has been my recent go to. Combine it with rose oil for a luxurious scent.
