Black Pepper Testimonials

"My best experience with Black Pepper follows: Before I left on a long car trip several years ago, I was experiencing some sciatic discomfort which got increasing painful the more miles we traveled. For some reason, I had put the Black Pepper in my oil case before I left and since I wasn't getting relief from other oils I'd tried, I applied the Black Pepper which was a new oil for me. Voila.........within minutes the pain was subsiding and to my amazement, at the end of an hour, the pain was almost totally gone! I keep Black Pepper in my arsenal now, just in case!!Thanks for the opportunity to share." Elaine

Did you know. . .
Pepper has long been believed to cause sneezing; this is still believed true today. Some sources say that piperine, a substance present in black pepper, irritates the nostrils, causing the sneezing. It has been shown that piperine can dramatically increase absorption of selenium, vitamin B and beta-carotene as well as other nutrients.
