Juniper Berry Oil is steam-distilled from the fresh or dried berries (which are technically small cones) of the Juniperus communis tree. It has a distinctive, crisp, woody, and piney aroma with a slightly fruity note. (It is famously the key botanical used to flavor gin).
Key Benefits of Juniper Oil
Natural Purifier & Detoxifier: This is its most traditional and celebrated use. It's a natural diuretic, often used in diluted massage blends to help reduce fluid retention and "detoxify" the body.
Soothes Aches and Pains: Its warming properties make it excellent for blends targeting sore muscles, joint stiffness, and arthritis discomfort.
Clears the Air: Its fresh, "clean" scent is a powerful air purifier when diffused, helping to neutralize odors and create a clarifying, stress-free environment.
Skin Astringent: Its natural astringent properties can help tone the skin, making it beneficial for managing oily or blemish-prone skin types
