Juniper Berry (Italy)
(Juniperus communis-Cupressaceae)
This oil is distilled from the berries of a bush grown in Europe and Canada. The oil is colorless to pale yellow and grows darker and thicker with age and exposure to air. It is very effective in the treatment of cystitis and is used in skin preparations to aid in reducing oily skin, acne, and for opening blocked pores. When Juniper Berry is added to the bath it is refreshing and will help to rid the body of toxic fluids. Juniper Berry must NOT be used during pregnancy.
