Juniper Essential Oil

Description

Juniper oil comes from the fresh or dried berries and needles of the juniper plant. Traditionally juniper berries, together with their leaves and branches, have been used since ancient times as the plant was believed to possess the power to ward off evil spirits, negative forces and illnesses. These parts were also used for cleansing and purifying the mind, body and spirit. Mix Juniper essential oil with a carrier oil and apply to the body to aid sleep, repel insects and soothe muscles, or in a diffuser to distress and relax. It is most commonly used as a natural remedy for sore throats and respiratory infections, fatigue, muscle aches, and arthritis. It can also help soothe skin flair-ups, boost the immune system, help with insomnia and aid with digestion. Juniper essential oil is a powerful antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-fungal, among other things.
