Juniper Essential Oil (Berry) Organic
Details
Juniper Essential Oil generally helps with the digestive system, particularly in cases of obesity, over-indulgence of food and premenstrual bloating, as it is a diuretic and eliminates water weight. Juniper oil in skin care is very effective for acne, eczema, oily skin, psoriasis and dandruff and alleviates inflammation and infection. A Juniper berry oil (Communis terpineoliferum) is also available. There is also an oil taken from the branches. It seems to be a little more harsh (and often adulterated) and not used as much for aromatherapy. An inferior branch oil is also available as the by-product of making gin. Junipers masquerade as cedarwoods: Texas cedarwood (Juniperus ashei) and red cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana). Juniper oil is a known urinary tract irritant and those with kidney issues will not tolerate it well. It is highly recommended for clearing toxins and uric acid from the body.
