I started using juniper oils on my feet after being informed that the berry is sometimes used in beer production. I must admit that it makes my feet to smell nice. Then again, I still apply other essential oils on my feet.
After my online research, I realized that juniper can also help in slowing the progression of bacteria.
I was informed by a reputable dermatologist that using juniper in combination with other essential oils, you will not only realize the benefits of juniper, but the scent of other fruits.
I love the juniper oil from berries than from the ones collected from needle or wood. The berry juniper oils offer a nice and refreshing scent. However, those who are pregnant and kidney problem should not use juniper oil.
