Juniper essential oil

INCI name:
Juniperus Communis Fruit Oil

Juniper berry essential oil is rich in flavonoids, monoterpenes, and has anti-inflammatory properties.

The Juniper plant is a tough, robust evergreen with small green berries that can take up to two years to ripen. In ancient Greece, Juniper was burned in sickrooms to purify the environment and used during the mummification process in ancient Egypt. Modern uses are far less sombre. Topically applied, Juniper essential oil helps to warm tired or aching muscles, relieve arthritis symptoms, and reduce excess fluid retention.

The oil supports the body’s natural detoxifying system, particularly the urogenital and digestive systems, making it especially useful for addressing toxin build-up and irritants. It is also known to strengthen the spirit and nerves, helping to calm moods and relieve everyday stress and strain.
