Juniper Berry Pure Essential Oil 5 ml

Description

The common juniper, Juniperus communis, is an evergreen conifer tree that can grow up to 10 meters high and can live for as long as 200 years. The tree’s bark is grey-brown while the twigs of the tree are reddish brown. The leaves of the common juniper are needle-like with prickly points and are green in color. The tree also produces male and female flowers. The male flowers are small and yellow and grow near the tip of the twigs whereas the female flowers are green and eventually evolve into the purple fruit of the tree. The fruit is a berry-like cone that is fleshy and aromatic. doTERRA Juniper Berry essential oil is extracted from the berry of the juniper plant.

Emotionally:
Juniper Berry is known as the Oil of Night.  “Juniper Berry assists those who fear the dark or unknown aspects of themselves.  It helps individuals to understand that those things they fear are intended to be their teachers. Instead of hiding from what they do not understand, Juniper Berry encourages individuals to learn the lesson and face their fear.  These fears often live within the unexplored areas of the self.  Juniper Berry acts as a catalyst by helping individuals access and address those fears and issues which have long been avoided.

Dreams contain nighttime communications.  Even nightmares can reveal unresolved fears and issues.  Juniper Berry offers courage and energetic protection in the nighttime.  It encourages an honest assessment of the information being communicated from within.  As individuals reconcile with their fears and other hidden aspects of themselves, they experience greater wholeness.  Juniper Berry helps restore the balance between light and dark, conscious and subconscious, day and night.  It acts as a guide on the path toward wholeness.  Juniper Berry teaches that there is truly nothing to fear when one acknowledges and accepts all aspects of the self.” #
