ESSENTIAL JUNIPER OIL

The essential juniper oil is extracted through steam distillation, one of the classic and most natural methods of extracting essential oils. The properties of juniper essential oil are mainly anti-inflammatory. It can be an excellent ally for athletes to create creams and oils against muscle contractions. It also has antiseptic and diuretic properties, making it an excellent natural remedy for cystitis.

USES OF ESSENTIAL JUNIPER OIL

• Aromatherapy: add two to three drops to an essential oil diffuser and diffuse it in the environment. Inhaling the oil is an excellent and quick way to benefit from its properties.
• Topical use: 2 drops in a tablespoon of sweet almond, sesame, or jojoba oil, to massage on inflamed body parts and muscles.
• Foot baths, baths, and steam baths, always adding two drops of oil to the solutions. For cystitis, sitz baths are particularly recommended.

The essential oils available online on terzaluna.com are classified as food supplements. This attests to their excellent quality. They are naturally extracted essential oils, without the use of any solvent, but only through natural methods such as pressing, percolation, or steam distillation. Third Moon essential oils can also be used orally, but you must be careful about the quantities ingested. Never exceed two daily drops. This is because an essential oil is a very potent concentrate that if taken in quantities greater than two drops a day can be hepatotoxic.

CONTRAINDICATIONS OF USING ESSENTIAL JUNIPER OIL

For external use only. Juniper essential oil should never be applied directly to the skin, as it can cause irritation. It is never advisable to use this essential oil internally without strict medical supervision, especially not during pregnancy and in the presence of kidney diseases.
