Juniper (Berry and Seed Oil)
Juniperus Communis
Plant profile: Juniper is a vigorous shrub with dark green, spiky leaves. The essential oil comes mainly from Germany, where the plant grows well, and also from parts of Croatia. The berries on the juniper bush take up to two years to turn black and produce the best-quality oil. Juniper is also used in making gin, and in northern European cooking it is used to give pungent flavor to root vegetables. In herbal medicine, juniper is considered to be a strong diuretic and internal cleanser.
Safety Information: Juniper is best avoided during pregnancy, and also by people with any serious kidney complaints.
Fragrance profile: Juniper is pungent, peppery, and camphoraceous, with sweeter, softer notes developing later.
Main Uses: Juniper helps to clear lymphatic congestion and detoxify the system; opens the chest and eases breathing in respiratory complaints; freshens the mind and helps improve concentration.
