Juniper Leaf

Juniper  from which Juniper Leaf Essential Oil is distilled, is a small bushy shrub or tree, 3-35 feet in height growing at an altitude ranging from 8800 to 15,400 feet in the Himalayan region at its highest (from which this particular oil originates). Juniper Leaf/Branch essential oil has a very fine aroma indicative of great care taken in the distillation process - it is completely devoid of harsh notes common to this oil. Juniper is one of the most widely used oils in aromatherapy; in the case of Juniper Leaf/Branch essential oil, it is a perfect ingredient to include in an invigorating massage oil due to its ability to create a sensation of warmth, comfort, and relief.
