Juniper Berry essential oil is extracted from juniper berries, which grow on the Juniperus Communis tree which originates from Bulgaria. The Juniperus Communis is an evergreen conifer with greyish brown bark, red-brown twigs, and green needle-like leaves. The tree can grow as tall as 10 metres and live for up to 200 years.
The Juniperus Communis tree produces yellow male flowers and green female flowers. Over time the female flowers evolve into aromatic, purple juniper berries. This is where juniper berry essential oil is taken from.
During medieval times, juniper berries were used to ward off witches; however, it has plenty of other uses. Juniper Berry essential oil has a clean spicy, woody aroma, and can be used aromatically for grounding and calming effects.
Alternatively, the oil can be applied topically to improve the appearance of blemishes. When used internally, it helps to cleanse and detoxify the body, whilst supporting several bodily systems.
