USES:

  • Juniper can be very helpful for swelling due to injury or varicose veins. Add 5 drops of juniper, 5 drops of lavender and 5 drops of lemon to one ounce of oil or unscented lotion to aid in reduction of fluids.
  • Drop some Juniper in your shower stall before taking a shower.  It is refreshing and can help reduce mucous.
  • For a detoxifying salt scrub add 15 drops juniper and 15 drops lemon to approximately 8 ounces of salt and 4 ounces of oil (almond is a nice weight). Adjust oil and salt as needed for a nice consistency. Use a small handful as a scrub and then rinse off the salt. Keep in a plastic container in the shower.
