AllSpice Essential Oil

When Allspice berries were found by Christopher Columbus, he mistakenly thought he had stumbled upon a new species of pepper. Oh! Columbus – first mistaking Central America for Asia, then mistaking Allspice for pepper. Clearly, whoever first happened upon this plant, unveiled one of delectable essential oils whose fragrance is only rivalled by its warming, relaxing molecules.

“Allspice’s key constituents warms up the taste buds and hunger juices as a tasty breath freshener (dilute before using)…” If it is purposeful to blend Constituents information into this sentence please correct grammatically to read, “Allspice oil key constituents are eugenol (also found in clove and holy basil), methyl eugenol, caryophyllene, myrcene and 1,8 cineole.”    Gently warm the senses with a little allspice in massage oil that also melts muscles and cheers the belly.

Its oil is used in perfumes, especially the lavender type, to which it gives a jaunty spicy note.”
