Black Pepper Essential Oil

Black pepper has a lot more benefits than just helping relieve a stuffy nose. It actually helps combat sluggishness by invigorating the senses and the body, enhancing circulation, and increasing blood flow to the area being treated.

Black pepper is also very rich in antioxidants, which helps it combat inflammation when applied topically. Used frequently, black pepper oil is very effective at treating sore joints and muscles. Though sneezing is a natural side effect of exposure, black pepper actually does help alleviate chest congestion while purifying the lungs.
