Black Pepper (Piper Nigrum)

The black pepper essential oil is produced by steam distillation of dark-red berries. It has a strong, warm and peppery aroma.
It’s not a popular essential oil but very interesting and handy to have😊

Once valued more than gold, black pepper was a major trade item in ancient times🏺.
The Egyptians used black pepper in mummification. Indian monks ate several black peppercorns a day to give them strengths during their travels. Chinese healers used pepper to treat cholera, malaria and digestive problems.

Wonderful uses of black pepper essential oil:
🌱 antioxidant and immune-system support (as it’s high in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes)

🌱powerful lymphatic system cleanser and decongestant - helps with swelling, pain and edema.

🌱 its warming properties can relieve muscle tension and joint pain - popular in massage therapy. 💪

🌱stimulates digestive juices, helping alleviate discomfort from indigestion and gas (great in tummy blend)

🌱 in many spiritual practices 🧘🏻‍♀️it has been used for protection or to drive unwanted spirits or people away.
It helps its users to overcome dishonesty and increases the courage to be true to themselves.
For people who tend to be worriers, black pepper can soothe and calm, helping them to embrace their own power.

I love using my black pepper oil in the tummy blends, warming salves and cosy home aromas 🥰

!!! Wintergreen EO should be used very carefully. It can be used only topically and diluted.
It is not suitable for pregnant women, kids below 7yo an people with blood thinning issues.

What are hydrolats (or hydrosols)?
Essential oils are often produced by steam distillation, which involves passing steam through the plant material (leaves, flowers, stems) 🍃🌼.
This process releases both - essential oils and water-soluble plant compounds into the steam, which then condenses into liquid. The essential oils float on top and are separated out, leaving behind the „cloudy water“ hydrolat.
Hydrolats are also known as floral water, they contain the aromatic properties of plants and in some cases are more useful than essential oils.

Hydrolats and essential oils:
🌱Hydrolats are less concentrated than essential oils making them safe for use directly on the skin. Their pH value is 4-6.
🌱Hydrolats can be used for little kids, the elderly and animals. Can be taken internally.
🌱They provide light hydration and can be used as facial toners.
🌱Hydrolats carry the natural fragrance of the plant, offering a mild, pleasant scent.

Geranium Hydrolat - great skin tonic for all skin types. It attracts moisture and hold it into the skin. I spray it on my face every morning and evening.

Lavender Hydrolat - is cooling and healing. I’m using it after sun, when kids have any rashes, very nice also after shaving.
It’s very gentle for the nervous system, soothing and calming. Can be applied on sore eyes as well.

Calendula Hydrolat - I‘m using it on cuts or damages of skin for kids, when any skin issues or damages before applying the essential oil.

Chamomile Hydrolat - great soothing Hydrolat for kids, when any itchiness, skin disorders, applying on eye pads over closed eyes when any eye infections or tiredness.

Tea Tree Hydrolat - helps with wounds, cuts and insect bites. Promotes healing and prevents infection.

Hydrolats can be mixed together. There are not many hydrolats on the shelves but if you manage to find them, that’s a treasure!💫
Please make sure you use pure natural hydrolats and be aware there are some mixtures on the market.
The shelf life of Hydrolat is around 1 year if kept in the fridge. Needs to be used within 6 months.

One of the most recognizable and loved aromas. It’s main chemical component menthol (30-50%) brings the fresh, cooling and a bit sweet scent.

Peppermint essential oil is retrieved from leaves and flowering tops of the plant by steam distillation.
Imagine it takes around 100kg of plant material to yield just 1kg of peppermint essential oil. ✨

Peppermint EO is very handy to have in your first aid bag.

🌱 helps to cool down when high temperatures 🌡️
🌱 aids digestion issues when bloating, spasms, gas, indigestion. Perfect oil to use in tummy blends
🌱 my number 1 oil when traveling or being a passenger. Inhaling peppermint EO helps to reduce the feeling of nausea, calms on the plane or boat.
🌱 opens the airways and improves breathing when doing physical exercises and sports. My oil to go before my horse riding 🐎
🌱 relieving headaches and migraines. It can be applied in a roller bottle blend on temples and back of the head 🤕
🌱 stimulates concentration, improves alertness and boosts energy levels. Inhaling peppermint oil will be very beneficial while studying⚡️📚
🌱 when applied topically in a oil blend, it had a cooling effect that helps to sooth sore muscles and reduce pain

Peppermint essential oil increases tolerance, it help to accept new changes and fearless move forward, follow new ideas and new beginnings.

‼️Always dilute peppermint essential oil. Do not use it with kids below 7yo.
If diffused only in synergy with other oils and in minimum dosage.
It is not advised to use peppermint OE when using homeopathic remedies.
Always choose 100% natural essential oils🌱 Send me a PM for advice.

That’s when it starts… Dry Cough 😣

Here is the blend to relieve dry cough for kids 3-7 years old. I chose 4 essential oils and 2 carrier oils:

🌱Lavender EO - soothing, antispasmodic, soft and „caring“
🌱Black Spruce EO - respiratory decongestant
🌱Tea Tree EO - antibacterial, immunostimulant
🌱Thymus Vulgaris CT Thujanol - antiviral, antibacterial, superimmunostimulant ⭐️

Thymus Vulgaris CT Thujanol is a very rare chemotype of Thyme, which is found mainly in France. It’s an amazing oil for any kids colds, flues, coughs and other seasonal issues💪.
Tujanol is amazing for fighting viruses and stimulating immune system. At the same time it is very gentle for little ones.
The harvest of Thyme with this particular chemotype is only once a year in autumn in a very small quantities. That’s why we can find it I would say only in its origin in France.
I blended the essential oils with 2 carrier oils - Black Seed oil (antibacterial and immunostimulant) + Sweet Almond oil

The total blend is 20% for the kids. All the proportions and dosage are blended according to the age and symptoms.

Send me PM if you would like your personal blend.🪄

How do essential oils work?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts, 🌱 little nature’s treasures with hundreds of volatile aromatic compounds 🧬 in them.

When inhaled through the nose, it takes just 22 seconds for molecules to reach our olfactory system, where they are sending signals to our brain 🧠 that starts affecting mood, emotions and physiological responses🧘‍♀️.

For example, lavender oil is known for its calming effects, while peppermint oil can help with alertness and focus.

When applied topically, little essential oils components pe*****te the skin and enter the bloodstream. 🧚‍♂️From there, they travel through various systems of the body sharing their healing therapeutic properties bringing comfort and joy.✨

For instance, tea tree oil is often used topically for its antimicrobial properties, while eucalyptus oil can help with respiratory issues when applied to the chest.

‼️Just remember handling essential oils carefully and following dilution ratios ensures these wonderful oils 🌱will continue to heal not to harm.
