Juniper essential oil is a crisp, woody, and detoxifying oil known for its ability to cleanse the body, purify the air, and ground the emotions. Steam distilled from the berries (and sometimes twigs) of the Juniperus communis shrub, this oil has been traditionally used to support detoxification, calm nervous tension, and clear stagnant energy. Its fresh, piney aroma evokes the feeling of a mountain forest and brings clarity and emotional stability.
