Juniper essential oil comes from the berries, branches and twigs of the juniper plant, which was used as a diuretic in ancient times and also burned to ward off infections. Juniper has many cleansing properties and mixes well with many oils to make aromatherapy blends for sore muscles, skin health, and circulatory benefits. It has an uplifting spiritual effect when diffused, and a drop can be added to food or drink to help cleanse the system.
