Aromatherapy with Juniperberry essential oil

The branches and berries of the Juniper, a coniferous tree, have been used for medicinal and spiritual purposes since ancient times.



The Old Testament includes several references to the juniper tree including Psalms 120:4. This verse references burning a person with a false, deceitful tongue with the coals (perhaps burning branches/logs?) of the broom tree, an ancient name for a variety of juniper shrub that grows in Palestine. This passage can be looked at in several ways, one being that the juniper was used to cleanse, purify and eliminate that which is false and negative.

Emotionally, Juniper Berry Essential Oil is calming and helps to ease stress without imparting the sedative effects that clary sage and the chamomiles are known for. Spiritually, Juniper Berry Essential Oil used in a room mist, diffuser or candle burner cleanses and purifies the air. It is a good choice for use during prayer or meditation. I prefer to use Juniper Berry Essential Oil in a candle diffuser instead of a nebulizer.

Juniper Oil has a distinctive aroma that is woody, sweet, fresh and crisp.

This is a middle of the road priced essential oil, you should be able to purchase an ounce for around $15.00.

Have a Great Day.
