pimento berry essential oil (also known as allspice oil, jamaican pepper and pimenta) is steam distilled from the fully grown, but unripe, dried, crushed fruits of the pimenta officinalis tree. the tree is native to the west indies and south america where the berries are widely used as a culinary spice. the spice has a strong, pungent flavor and aroma that is like several spices combined - namely cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg and black pepper - hence why it is commonly known as 'allspice'.

pimento essential oil has a lovely warming effect on the body but isn’t quite as fiery as some of the other spice oils. when used in small quantities it produces a lovely, gradual, warming sensation that can be particularly soothing for aches, pains and tension (especially those caused by the cold). it can also be helpful for soothing the emotions, relieving fatigue and helping with digestive and respiratory ailments.
