Juniper Essential Oil

Juniper essential oil has a clean, woodsy aroma which encourages logical, down to earth thinking.

Emotionally, it has a wonderful grounding property which relieves nervous tension and exhaustion.

This essential oil was used by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks during the embalming process to keep the body clean and ward off disease.

Hospitals in Europe would burn this herb and rosemary sprigs during the Second World War to cleanse and disinfect hospitals against cholera and typhoid.

To clear and disinfect the air, put a couple of drops of the essential oil along with some clean water into a diffuser.

Alternatively, add some of the essential oil to a massage oil base (eg. olive oil) and massage into your muscles.

Warning: This essential oil has a sedative effect when used in small doses, but too much can over-stimulate the senses. Do not use when pregnant.
