Wellness Wednesday: Juniper Berry Essential Oil

Growing up we had Juniper trees everywhere! It was great because hardly any trees grow out there, so they were a break from all the sagebrush. We had a few friends come pick the berries to use for teas, but we never thought much of it-they were more decorative...or fun to smash. Needless to say, I was shocked to find out the little berries have so many benefits!

Juniper Berry essential oil is a great detoxifier, diuretic, antiseptic, astringent, and antispasmodic. It is commonly used internally in a capsule for liver support (cleansing), general detoxing, and to help manage cholesterol levels. When combined in a capsule with Grapefruit EO it promotes healthy urination and limits water retention. It can also be used topically where needed.

Topically (along the spine and feet), Juniper Berry is used to fight plagues and epidemics. Diluted with a carrier oil it helps fight acne and psoriasis.

Emotionally/mentally, Juniper Berry can be inhaled to relieve tension and stress as well as fight depression. Heading into these winter months, this is especially important.

Fun Fact: this oil is known for its smell and is often used for making gin. ;)
