Description
Juniperus communis
Juniper Berry Essential Oil is steam distilled from the berries of the juniper plant. It possesses a fresh, woody, slightly fruity aroma with clean, crisp undertones. Just a drop or two of Juniper Berry Essential Oil can add a refreshing, forest-like note to any blend while providing powerful purifying and detoxifying benefits.
Juniper Berry Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease mental fatigue, nervous tension, and create a cleansing atmosphere. It is valued for its detoxifying and circulation-stimulating properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to help relieve muscle aches, joint pain, arthritis, and fluid retention. Juniper Berry should be avoided during pregnancy and by those with kidney disease (see safety notes below).
Emotionally, Juniper Berry Essential Oil is cleansing and fortifying, helping to clear negative emotions, strengthen resolve, ease mental exhaustion, and promote clarity and emotional purification during times of transition or overwhelm.
