  • The one essential oil that detoxifies the entire body from all toxins.
  • Add a few drops of oil during lymph drainage.
  • What a booster! It supports the nervous system powerfully and helps calm it.

Juniper belongs to Cupressaceae and is a compact and sturdy tree that is not easily annoyed. Anyone who has tried to pick berries knows its reputation: if you play with fire, you will get burnt! It can live in relatively hostile environments and acclimatise by changing its appearance. The wood is hard and the branches are dynamic. Covered in scaly, prickly and protective needles (by whorls of three, with a white line at the top), it protects its offspring. And they need be protected: berries ripen on the tree for several years.
 
Botanically, if you want to differentiate it from Juniper Cadier -which looks very similar and often grows in the same region- check the leaves. There is one large stripe on them while cadier bears two. These stripes (under the leaves of abietaceae: fir, Douglas etc.) are the leave's respiratory system. This "organ" (called stomatal band) enables it to breathe with less water loss. This is why it looks so proud in arid areas.
 
This vigour and protective force produce a tree that can live over 1,000 years for some species and adapt to the coldest climate in the Alps or the hotter Mediterranean region. This probably led to his being venerated by the Celt, Germanic peoples, Tibetans, Indians, Indians, Egyptians ... wherever it goes, ceremonies are held in its honour. Fumigation of branches or berries used to be a most common ceremonial use of juniper (also to cure the plague).
 
The hot tree (from the Celt "gen", bush, and 'prus', hot, pungent) is one of the most popular alchemical plants. Its relationship to Saturn, god of time, and its dimension-crossing symbol earned him dark legends but it has the strength to bear them.
 
Our taste buds recognise it pretty well, even though it's not particularly fashionable. Not only are the berries (from galbulus) used for flavour, or to help digest heavy dishes like sauerkraut, but also in alcoholic beverages like gin, aquavit, peket that were the basis of medicinal drinks. For example, gin was associated with quinine for English settlers in India to prevent themselves from tropical diseases (and then to kill boredom...)
