Black pepper essential oil is steam-distilled from the dried, unripe berries of Piper nigrum. Unlike the culinary spice, it lacks the piperine that makes pepper hot to taste — instead, it delivers a warm, sharp aroma with strong circulatory-stimulating properties. It is particularly valued in muscle and joint blends for its ability to increase local blood flow.
