Origin |
Jamaica |
Pimento Berry essential oil (also
known as Allspice oil, Jamaican Pepper and Pimenta) is steam distilled from the
fully grown, but unripe, dried, crushed fruits of the Pimenta officinalis tree.
The tree is native to the West Indies and South America where the berries are
widely used as a culinary spice. The spice has a strong, pungent flavor and
aroma that is like several spices combined - namely cinnamon, clove, ginger,
nutmeg and black pepper - hence why it is commonly known as 'Allspice'.
Pimento essential oil has a lovely warming effect on the body but isn’t quite as fiery as some of the other spice oils. When used in small quantities it produces a lovely, gradual, warming sensation that can be particularly soothing for aches, pains and tension (especially those caused by the cold). It can also be helpful for soothing the emotions, relieving fatigue and helping with digestive and respiratory ailments.

Allspice contains a chemical
called eugenol, which might explain some of its traditional uses for toothache,
muscle pain, and as a germ-killer. In short it has all the antibacterial
properties and seems to improve the immunity.
It is a natural herb which is
formerly known as ‘spice’, thus it has various applicative properties and
applications in ayurvedic and pharmaceutical sectors. It is used for
gastrointestinal disorders, and topically, for arthritis and muscular pain.
The warm, spicy aroma of Allspice
Essential Oil is like that of clove and cinnamon essential oils. The high
content of Eugenol is partly responsible for this similarity. Allspice
Essential Oil, in small dilutions, is said to act as an aphrodisiac. Its
rich, warm aroma also complements masculine blends. Allspice Essential Oil is
regarded for its use within personal fragrance, massage, arthritic and muscular
applications.
