Product Abstract and Benefits:Juniper is a coniferous evergreen shrub that belongs to the pine family (Cupressaceae) and the juniper tree can be identified by its stiff and needle-like blue-green leaves, short reddish-brown trunks, small yellow flowers and blue or black fruits or berries (produced by the female trees). Both the branches and the berries of the leaves have been used since ancient times for medicinal and spiritual purposes.
Juniper essential oil is traditionally steam-distilled from the needles, twigs, wood and berries. However, juniper berry oil, which is extracted solely from the berries, is superior in quality. It's a pale oil with a watery viscosity and a fresh, clear and slightly woody and fruity fragrance.
