Acts as an Anesthetic
This oil can be applied to any areas where you are experiencing pain, as it has a local numbing or anaesthetic effect. This anaesthetic effect can suppress certain types of pain, including those of neuralgia, bone and muscular injuries, and joints, as well as those resulting from insect bites or stings.
Reduces Pain
The analgesic property of the essential oil of pimento also comes from its anaesthetic property. It has a numbing effect on the nerves which does not let the sensation of pain reach the brain or be felt by our nerves. This helps to overcome pain resulting from wounds, headaches, colds, arthritis, and gout, among others. Moreover, it doesn’t make your nerves and brain dull in the long run, nor does it have any adverse effect on the heart, unlike most analgesics that are available on the market.
Detoxifies Body
This property is in great demand these days as it is being viewed as the key to retaining your youth and guaranteeing a longer, healthier life. Mankind has always been in search of something like this. But what is so vitally important about these antioxidants? What are they and how are they useful? Antioxidants are agents that protect the body from the damage done by oxidation and free radicals. But how can oxygen and its subsequent oxidation, which make life and energy production possible, be the cause of so much damage? You will be surprised to know that oxygen was once responsible for the mass destruction of all life forms on earth in the very beginning. It simply oxidized them to death. 100% pure oxygen (and even in lesser quantities) can still oxidize the lungs, respiratory tracts and all the tissues in our body to death as if they have been burnt.
Oxidation is believed to be one of the prime causes behind ageing and age-related damage to the body such as the weakening of muscles, hair loss, loss of vision and hearing, nervous disorders, macular and muscular degeneration and certain types of cancer. Now, there are substances in our body, which are called free radicals, that carry active oxygen and speed up this oxidation of cells and promote ageing. Antioxidants can actually stop ageing by neutralizing these free radicals or oxidants and also repair the damage already done by them.
Prevents Bacterial Infections
Septic and tetanus are actually infections of wounds and internal organs like the urethra, gall bladder, urinary tracts, and kidneys that are caused by bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus and Clostridium Tetani, respectively. Newborn babies that are less than one month old are most vulnerable to septic and tetanus. Infection of septic and tetanus can spread very quickly and can take over the whole body, resulting in severe convulsions, muscular cramps, breathlessness, pain, hydrophobia, and even insanity. The antiseptic property of pimento essential oil gives protection against such infections by inhibiting bacterial growth.
Relieves Flatulence
Intestinal gases are only funny in movies. In reality, this condition can be very painful, disturbing, embarrassing and even fatal in the most extreme cases. Gas can cause indigestion, unrest, stomach aches, heaviness, continuous hiccups, rheumatism, cramps, chest pain, high blood pressure, heart problems and even death if it presses against any vulnerable organs or remains trapped in a critical position. The essential oil of pimento can give you relief from gases by easing their way out and stopping them from developing again.
Reduces Stress
The essential oil of pimento has a relaxing effect on the muscles, nerves, blood vessels and brain. This way, it provides relief from stress, anxiety, anger, nervous afflictions, convulsions, hypertension, mental unrest, depression, and insomnia.
Acts as a Rubefacient
The rubefacient property of pimento essential oil increases the circulation of blood below the skin and brings a touch of redness to the skin, which is typically more visible in the face, hence the name rubefacient. In heavier or more concentrated doses, this property can cause skin irritation.
