Juniper berry essential oil is
the abstract of fresh & dried berries and leaves of Juniperus plant
species. These plants are well-known as the powerful immunity booster and
detoxifier. These attributes make the essential oils more effective.
The colours of the
berries differ in various species; in some, they are red-brown or orange but in
most they are blue. Each juniper berry contains a resin (10 per cent), an
essential oil (juniper berry oil, 0.5-2 per cent) with pinene and borneol,
inositol, a flavonoid glycoside and a bitter compound (juniperin) which make it
a rich source of aroma. Usually, the male and female flowers grow on different
trees and only trees with female flowers bear fruit. The seed maturation time
varies between species from6-18 months after pollination. The juniper berry
takes two or three years to ripen, so that blue and green berries occur on the
same plant. Only blue ripe berries are hand-picked and steam distilled to
obtain juniper berry essential oil.
We produce pure and fine quality
Juniper berry essential oil by the process of steam distillation of high-quality
Juniper berries.
Juniper berry is a powerful source of
medicinal benefits itself. This makes the juniper essential oil most used in
curing respiratory disorders and for sore throat also. Juniper

as gastrointestinal (GI) infections and intestinal worms. It is also

and kidney and bladder stones. Other uses include treating
snakebite, diabetes, and cancer.

juniper directly to the skin for wounds and for pain in
joints and muscles. The essential oil of juniper is inhaled to
