Description
Softer and aromatically rounder this CO2 select is a wonderful alternative to the traditional Distilled Juniper Berry Oil.
It is in the energetic effects of Juniper Berry Oil that this select extract truly shines. My mentor Madeleine Kerkhof says that it is extremely uplifting, with both an uplifting and grounding effect, simulataneously, as well as purifying and banishing emotional and spiritual negativity. The ancient tradition of the use of Juniper to cleanse and repel negative energy spans rituals and cultures around the world.
Emotionally, Juniper Berry Extract is said to aid with anxiety and fears, giving a feeling of safety and protection. Recommend blending with White Sage essential oil or Sage CO2 for transitions.

It may be helpful with arthritis and rheumatism.
Skin Care Uses of Juniper Oil
In skin care it is said to aid in balancing oily skin and hair (thinking it would make a lovely blend with Geranium, perhaps a man’s blend?).
A facial steam with juniper oil is a wonderful aid to balancing oily skin or to soften blackheads.
