Studies published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology have shown that pepper oil has antiviral properties, meaning that it targets bacterial virulence without affecting cell viability, making it less likely to develop drug resistance. The study showed that after screening 83 essential oils, pepper oil inhibited biofilm formation of staphylococcus aureus and almost abolished the haemolytic (red blood cell killing) activity of S. aureus.

5. Promotes circulation. It has a warming property when taken internally or applied topically. Mix pepper oil with cinnamon or turmeric oil to enhance this action.

6. Exhibits anti-cancer activity. All compounds derived from black pepper inhibit the proliferation of human cancer cells, with piperine being the most effective compound.

7. Pepper oil creates a warming sensation when applied topically, so it increases sweating. It also serves as a diuretic and increases urination, helping to remove body toxins and excess water from the body. This reduces swelling and inflammation. It helps to lower blood pressure naturally.

8. Relieves feelings of anxiety and the urge to smoke. Black pepper oil is among the best essential oils for anxiety and nervous conditions.
