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.
