Greenwood Essential Pure Chilli Seed Essential Oil (Capsicum annum) Steam Distilled Natural Therapeutic Grade 30ml (1 oz)

****I've had to update my previous review**** First try of this was my Mum, using it mixed with a carrier oil. One small drop in a tablespoon of carrier oil, with no issues. Curious.. I just tried it and - oh - my - God! I feel like someone has set fire to my skin!!!! Be really really careful with this oil! Never use without diluting it and I recommend strongly that you do a patch test first on a tiny part of your skin where the itching and burning will not drive you insane. I stupidly rubbed this on the back of my hands and felt nothing. Feeling confident, I rubbed it on my bad knee. Still nothing. 5-minutes later....JEEZ!!!! I feel like I'm being stung by 1, 000 bees!!! It literally is driving me crazy!!!! As if that's not bad enough I accidentally rubbed my eye, which now feels like it's on fire🔥 DO A PATCH TEST FIRST IN A SMALL AREA and wait 24-hours. This may well have therapeutic properties, but it is dangerous if you don't use it according to the instructions. ***********************' I've tried other essential oils from this brand and they are always good quality. Chilli essential oil is is usually used for pain relief and stimulating the circulation, so on some people it may be useful for or pain and poor circulation. It must always, always, always be diluted - in a carrier oil, water or cream and never ever used directly on the skin. This applies to all essential oils but in particular to Chilli as it may cause irritation if used neat. I definitely wouldn't recommend inhaling this either! As this is a 'therapeutic' anti-inflammatory, I definitely would not recommend this in a diffuser. For this you would use a fragranced flora essential oil. Firstly, with an oil like chilli which could be a potential irritant, always do a patch test 24-hours before you use it. This does warm the skin so may be useful for rubbing into your feet and legs if you have circulatory issues. Heavily diluted and massaged into the skin and muscles it may provide temporary relief for muscular and soft tissue pain, or sports injuries. As with fresh chilli, you need to be careful not to touch your face or eyes when using this oil. I've made up a solution of this for my Mum as she suffers from PMR and arthritis. I'm using with other pain relieving oils such as black pepper and wintergreen. This warms the skin in and provides temporary relief. Do research any essential oils that you use, as there are contraindications with some. They are therapeutic oils and not just intended to just make your room smell nice. Some are suitable for room fragrance but some definitely aren't. (This isn't). Always research essential oils you use, as you would a medicine, as they can be very powerful. Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of this oil. Heed the warnings and never ever ever ever use this undiluted on your skin... unless you are a sadist!

I have been using Greenwood’s essential oils for years Their products are usually really nice and pure. I have never tried the chilli seed essential before, so quite eager. I am disabled and need lots of rest in the day I put some Cetreban + this oil on my sponge, I get my husband to wash my back. After I am dry, he uses the Cetraben again with the oil and massages my back and hips… the oil releases a little warmth and eases my back issues. Doesn’t get rid of Osteoarthritis, however makes my daily pain more manageable. I choose to use a carrier oil with the oil, just so I do not use to much. Very happy oh and I didn’t smell of chilli. This is good to wear at night in hot counties, mosquitoes hate chilli.. Another really good oil. ⭐️Thank you to the seller ⭐️I hope my review helps you

Not hot on skin. Very disappointed

You get a good-sized bottle of this essential oil - 30 ml for £9.99. It comes in a screw-top brown glass bottle. You change the inner stopper for the dropper to dispense the oil. The oil is an orange/ red colour and it does smell of chilli - the aroma you get when chopping chillies. This is an essential oil so needs to be diluted with lotion, carrier oil or similar. Chilli oil is said to stimulate blood circulation so good to use when there is cold weather. I like to use this in my foot cream to massage my feet and lower legs to keep the circulation going. Chilli oil may help heal wounds or stimulate hair growth. I have used a number of essential oils and carrier oils from this comany and they ahve all been good quality.

Greenwood Essential Pure Chilli Seed Essential Oil ===================================== The capsaicin present in chilli seed oil is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.True to its name this has a strong hot and spicy scent. Do *not* apply neat! This has a very strong after kick - I initially applied a tiny drop and didn't feel anything, but a larger drop and five minutes later it kicks in! Although it didn't blister, as I found out the hard way, it's highly irritating in a neat form, you need to be careful using this, but this would be excellent diluted with a carrier oil and used as a heat rub or easing muscular tension.

A scent and feeling that is hard to grow tired of, feels great and diffuses well.

The oil is very high quality and securely packaged, everything came in complete safety. The package contains complete information about the product. Oil in a dark brown glass bottle. The oil is securely sealed with a colourless plastic stopper and a screw-on plastic cap. For more convenient use, a plastic dispenser is included in the kit. The oil is pure, natural, medium viscosity with a pleasant pungent odor. The oil is well suited for aroma lamps.

This company keeps surprising me. When I thought they had exhausted the number of oils that could be created, they seem to come up with yet another one. This time, they've actually managed to inscribe the uses for the oil on the bottle: anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain relief), hypoglycaemic and antioxidant. The scent is reminiscent of paprika on the hand and is so gentle it is barely detectable within the bottle. The oil is a beautiful red colour and appears well made. According to the description it is steam-distilled which means all the goodness will have been retained. Excellent value for money. The bottle itself is well sealed first with a tamper-proof screw top, then with a plastic cap within which, when taken out, can be replaced with the euro-dropper included.

Huele genial

Ottimo prodotto

I am very happy with this purchase! I follow a Chemistry blog from which I learned a weed killer printed in her ebook. Her weed killer recipe calls for liquid capsicum BUT I had to follow her math and use only the proper percentage for it to work great.

this capsicum anum is very strong and TAKE CARE please before to use *****

Hier bekomme ich wirklich hochwertiges Chili-Öl in einer kleinen braunen Flasche. Das Öl eignet sich nicht zur unverdünnten Anwendung. Ich gebe dieses Öl in neutrales Öl und verwende das Ganze als Massageöl. Oder ich kann einen Anteil dieses konzentrierten Chiliöls in eine Salbe mischen und diese gegen Verspannungen und Muskelschmerzen verwenden. Die Inhaltsstoffe des Chillies steigern die Durchblutung der Haut, Verspannungen lösen sich schneller. Ich verwende das Chili-Öl sehr gerne, es ist übrigens auch für die Gesichtspflege geeignet. Natürlich auch hier nur verdünnt anwenden. Verschlossen ist die Flasche bei Lieferung mit einem Stöpsel, ein Tropfendosierer zum Aufstecken liegt der Lieferung bei.
