Experience the refreshing aroma of our Juniper Berry essential oil, made by distilling only ripe berries that are wild harvested in Bosnia. This essential oil is a rare find, as it is difficult to find an oil that uses only berries (excluding needles, twigs, or branches).
Our 'berry only' Juniper Berry essential oil is rich in chemical components like the monoterpenes a-pinene, myrcene, ß-pinene, limonene, and sabinene, with a high content of monoterpenol and terpinen-4-ol. For batch-specific GCMS analysis, refer to the green tab above. These percentages are what make this essential oil from only berries a rare find!
When branches and twigs are included in distillation, the a-pinene percentage rises above 70%, which is not desirable. It is easy to detect if the essential oil is not from berries only, as it will have an elevated presence (above trace amount) of Thujopsene, the chemical compound from woody parts of the genus Juniperus. Our Juniper Berry essential oil passes GCMS analysis and contains less than 0.06% Thujopsene, scientifically proving that it is from berries only.
This highly astringent Juniper Berry essential oil is excellent for acne and oily-prone skin types. It can be used in massage to address rheumatic pain, fluid retention, bloating, muscular pains, spasms, cramping, detoxification, depression, and stress-related conditions.
A few drops of Juniper Berry essential oil can be blended for massage or used in bath water to address inflammation, arthritis, swollen joints, cellulite, bloating, muscular cramps, and detoxification. The aromatic diffusion of a few drops in an oil diffuser can be used for nervous tension and to boost the spirit in difficult situations.
