Black Pepper Wellness Elixir Oil is a multi-purpose therapeutic infusion crafted to support the body’s detoxification pathways, soothe chronic inflammation, calm anxiety, and reduce cravings for cigarettes and alcohol. This oil is rooted in traditional herbal wisdom and modern wellness science, combining black pepper’s potent piperine with turmeric’s curcumin, rosemary’s nervine effects, and thyme’s cleansing properties.
The oil can be used topically for joint pain and rheumatism, aromatically to ease anxiety and cravings, and—if made with food-grade ingredients and approved by a healthcare provider—internally to support digestion and uric acid elimination. It’s a versatile remedy that reflects your commitment to inclusive, sustainable, and culturally resonant wellness practices.
