Juniper essential oil

Unit: 10 ml bottle

Ingredients: 100% essential oil from juniper (Juniperus communis)

Purpose:

• Diuretic effect - the terpinen-4-ol compound contained in the oil stimulates the kidneys to filter more fluids and increases urine output.

• Detoxifying effect (aromatherapy) - inhaling the oil molecules stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps the body clear itself of waste products, helps clear the respiratory tract, and purifies the air, reducing microbes and toxins in it. 

• Relieves muscle and joint pain - the oil contains alpha-pinene, which successfully suppresses inflammation and relieves stiffness when applied topically, making it effective for muscle and joint discomfort (helps relieve conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, and muscle fever).

• Antimicrobial action (topical application) - the oil inhibits the growth of microbes as it is rich in alpha-pinene, a compound that disrupts the integrity of bacterial cells, showing strong activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

How to use:

• inhalation (add to hot water or diffuse into the air and inhale the vapors)

• topical (used for short periods) - diluted in a base oil to 1-2% (up to 1% dilution: 2 drops of essential oil in 10 ml of base oil - approximately 2 teaspoons; up to 2% dilution: 4 drops of essential oil in 10 ml of base oil). Massage the desired areas.

Note: Base oils are used to dilute essential oils, which can irritate the skin if applied undiluted. The most commonly used are: jojoba, avocado, argan, apricot, grape seed, sweet almond, coconut oil, olive oil, peach, etc.
