Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis) – Essential Oil

Juniper Berry Essential Oil is a refreshing, invigorating, and cleansing oil that purifies the air, skin, and spirit.  juniper berries are a classic ingredient in cooking and in making gin. Juniper is used in meditating, rejuvenating the skin, and purifying the air. Juniper was commonly burnt as a fumigant and ritual incense by ancient Greeks to combat epidemics, and by Tibetans and native Americans for ceremonial purposes. The English name juniper is derived  from the Latin juniores, meaning young berries. Juniper’s pungent energy also has a gentle upward movement that is able to refresh and clarify the mind. Stagnant, negative, confused thoughts and mental fog are its benefits as much as the symptoms of scattered energy.
