Characteristics
Juniper essential oil is used in aromatherapy for exhaustion, stress and insomnia by having an uplifting effect. When there is a lack of energy, the scent creates new strength and has an additional positive effect on the mood. It also has neuroprotective and anti-oxidative effects, as well as anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. In addition to the mood, it also has a stimulating effect on the body, so the oil has a diuretic effect and stimulates menstrual bleeding.

Hints
Pay attention to the hazard warnings on the label. The bottle is equipped with a child-proof cap and vertical dropper. To dose the essential oil, hold the head of the bottle vertically downwards so that you can then count the individual drops. After opening for the first time, depending on the consistency of the oil, it may take some time until the first drops appear. Attention: Essential oils are concentrates that may only be used diluted! Juniper berry essential oil can cause skin irritation and can have kidney-damaging (nephrotoxic) effects if ingested. Because of its abortifacient effects, juniper berry essential oil is not suitable for internal or external use in pregnant women, infants and small children. Limonene has allergenic potential and can cause skin irritation in sensitive people. Pinenes can also cause skin irritation when used on the skin of sensitive people.

Why should you try essential oils?
Essential oils are a good and healthy alternative to room sprays containing chemicals and artificial fragrances. Essential oils are a healthy way to create a pleasant scent in your home, office, or wherever you are.

How can aromas affect the body?
Aromas can affect your body in several ways. The obvious way to detect aromas is through the nose: the olfactory nerves pass the signal on to the brain and can thus influence moods.
Another mode of action is through the skin. The molecules of essential oils can pass through cell membranes and the skin and thus reach the tissue and blood. They are also able to influence an effect in the body via this route.
A third mode of action is through the stomach: When we eat spices such as peppermint or thyme that contain essential oils, they reach the stomach and develop their effect this way.
Are there risks and side effects with essential oils? And what's the truth about the criticism of aroma therapy?
Essential oils should only be used diluted, as high concentrations can lead to headaches and allergic reactions
Since essential oils have a wide range of effects (strong substances with powerful effects), they should be used carefully
Aromatherapy is a holistic form of therapy for the body and soul. It is difficult to evaluate the therapy scientifically. Sensory and emotional impressions triggered by the oils cannot be objectified.
