Chilli Seed - 10ml

Chilli Seed, derived from the seeds of Capsicum annuum, is a powerful and invigorating oil known for its warming and stimulating properties. Native to Central and South America, the chilli plant has been cultivated for centuries for its culinary and medicinal benefits. Through steam distillation, the pungent and potent essential oil is extracted from the seeds, capturing its intense heat and spice in a concentrated form.

This oil is prized in aromatherapy and topical applications for its exceptional circulatory-stimulating effects. It is commonly used in warming massage blends to ease muscular aches, joint pain, and stiffness, especially for those with arthritis or chronic tension. Chilli Seed Oil can also help stimulate digestion and metabolism when used correctly in diluted form.

Caution is essential when working with this oil, as it is extremely strong and can cause skin irritation if not properly diluted. It is not typically used in perfumery due to its intense and fiery scent, but when used thoughtfully, it can bring depth and boldness to spicy, herbal, or exotic blends.

Energetically, Chilli Seed Oil encourages vitality, motivation, and action - perfect for energizing body and mind.
