JUNIPER ESSENTIAL OIL

Juniper Essential Oil – a traditional aromatic plant essence

Juniper (Juniperus communis) is one of the oldest plants used in European herbal and aromatic traditions. Its berries and needles have long been present in household practices, rituals, and traditional plant-based preparations, where juniper was associated with purification, resilience, and inner strength.

Juniper essential oil is obtained through steam distillation and is characterised by a dry, fresh, woody aroma. Traditionally, it has been used externally and aromatically, where it was appreciated for its strong plant character and distinctive presence.
