The Profile
Juniper is a hardy evergreen shrub that grows throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Historically, it was used to ward off evil spirits and was burned in French hospitals during smallpox outbreaks to purify the air. The essential oil has a fresh, balsamic, and woody-sweet aroma, reminiscent of pine needles but with a distinct "gin-like" pepperiness. It is considered the premier "detox" oil in aromatherapy.

Usage & Benefits
· Skin: Acne, dermatitis, eczema, oily skin, and weeping sores. It is a powerful purifier for the pores and helps to balance skin that is prone to congestion.
· Respiratory: Helps to clear the head and can be used to support the body during coughs and colds.
· Digestive: Flatulence, indigestion, and toxin buildup. It supports the liver and helps the body process rich foods.
· Circulatory/Muscular: Cellulite, edema (fluid retention), gout, rheumatism, and arthritis. Juniper helps to flush uric acid from the joints and move stagnant lymphatic fluid.
· Genito-Urinary: Cystitis, urinary tract infections, and leucorrhea. Its diuretic properties make it excellent for cleansing the urinary system.
· Nervous System: Anxiety, nervous tension, and intellectual fatigue. It is deeply clearing for the mind.
Emotional Benefit
Juniper Berry is the "Oil of Night." It is used to help those who are afraid of the "dark" (both literally and metaphorically). It helps individuals face their fears and hidden anxieties, acting as a spiritual cleanser that protects the psyche from negative influences and helps transform "heavy" energy into light.
The "At Home" Remedies
