essential oils

juniper

Juniper (juniperus communis) is distilled from the berries of the common Juniper, one of the first plants to be used by mankind, with a fresh, piney, balsamic, bittersweet and woody aroma.

Juniper oil is warming and invigorating, benefiting chronic tiredness, cold hands and feet, lower back aches and oedema. It is both a diuretic and depurative oils (detoxes the blood) and aids lymphatic decongestion. The anti-infectious and anti-seborrhoeic qualities improve oily, congested and problem skin.

psychological benefits

Juniper has the power to disperse, clean and drive out negative influences that may become stagnant in our bodies, causing rigidity of spirit and stiffness in the joints. It fortifies our sense of 'life-worth' and replaces fear and isolation with movement and openness.
