Better Skin With Cubeb Essential Oil

Virtually unknown to many, cubeb essential oil has a plethora of properties that make it an effective and powerful oil. It has therapeutic benefits that help usher it into a realm that can be multifaceted and successfully used for many different issues.

Historically, cubeb essential oil was used in both Chinese and Ayurveda healing practices which utilized many different herbs to heal and treat issues. What we are now learning is the ability these type of herbs have in our current world.

The cubeb is a small seed-like fruit that comes from a plant known as the piper cubeba. The fruit is known as a tailed pepper or a Java pepper. Found traditionally in Indonesia and Sumatra, the essential oil is steam distilled from the dried part of the fruit. It was introduced to parts of Arab countries and Europe in the 1600s.

Since then it has found its way all throughout western civilization in some lesser known pockets. Its smell is reminiscent of traditional black pepper and allspice. Its taste has remnants of those elements as well and would be used to flavor cigars and liquor.

One of the key ways that this oil helps to target and improve skin is by warding off the signs of aging. It does this because it has such a high level of antioxidants. These antioxidants do a tremendous job of protecting the cells that can often be damaged by the oxidation that the skin suffers from the environment, toxins and the sun.

Fortunately, cubeb essential oil also helps to protect our vulnerable and sensitive skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun that cause dark spots and premature signs of aging.

Astringent And Antiseptic Qualities

The components within this oil are also fantastic to help the firming of the skin. Due to its astringent properties, it helps to tighten the muscles and skin that help to prevent sagging and keeps it taut and youthful looking. You can add this oil into your daily regimen and watch how your skin starts to take on a firmness and delicacy that it didn't have before.

You can add a couple of drops to your daily cleanser or your toner and after a week or so. You'll definitely see a distinction and improvement in the way your skin looks and feels.

Due to its antiseptic qualities, it can also help to clean skin and promote the process of healing. A tiny wound that isn't treated properly can sometimes lead to something disastrous from simple lack of care. With cubeb essential oil, you can ensure that your cut, scrape or gash is properly cleaned thus eliminating any chance of infections that can fester when germs has access to open wounds.

Not only will the oil help to stop any type of infection from forming by providing a protective layer around the skin, it will also help to speed up the healing process. A cut that would take a week to heal completely will be healed in a matter of days after you treat it with cubeb oil. That's how well skin responds to the oil.
