Allspice is the dried fruit of the Pimenta, an evergreen tree indigenous to southern Mexico through Central America and the Caribbean. Jamaican Allspice has been considered superior because of its higher oil content, better appearance and clove-like aroma and flavor.

 The oil has a warm, spicy-sweet aroma. that belies the activating (even potentially irritating) effects on the skin. But when used in tiny amounts (1 drop/teaspoon of carrier oil), it can alleviate stiff and tired muscles and joints. The familiar, clove-like aroma is comforting, lifting the spirit and inspiring confidence. It is used in spicy or masculine scents. It combines well with orange, ginger, patchouli and all of the spice oils including cinnamon, cassia and clove. |

 For centuries, the Mayan Indians used Allspice to embalm the bodies of important leaders. It is one of the spices Christopher Columbus discovered on the Caribbean Islands.
