This oil offers relief from physical stiffness and discomfort through the action of dilating blood vessels. Anyone who has tasted black pepper will not have a problem imagining it penetrating deeply into the nerves and muscles. Topical uses include relieving sore, tired muscles, stimulating circulation (stagnant circulation=pain), easing digestive discomfort, and soothing nerves. During maternity, the best use for this oil is for back labor pain. Another important indication is for digestive cramps associated with "digestive system rearrangement" and the uterine cramps associated with childbirth. Aromatically, black pepper enhances mental clarity and increases stamina during periods of fatigue, such as during active labor. It may be helpful for distracting one from cigarettes in early pregnancy. Emotionally, this oil is warming and may uplift a depressed mood and inspire courage.
