Juniper Essential Oil As An Acne Treatment

August 6th, 2009

Juniper essential oil, it’s not a bad choice.  In general, you should definitely check out essential oils as they have various properties generally required to qualify as an essential oil in total.  But anyway, juniper essential oil obviously comes from the juniper tree, which is an evergreen shrub.  It has been used to ward of infectious diseases such as the plague and cholera, and it has powerful antiseptic properties.  It gives you the flavor in gin, and it is made from distilled berries, needles, and the wood to treat many illnesses and common disorders.  It is also a popular stimulant, and it apparently affects negative energies on the body. 

 

It helps to relieve exhaustion, tension, nervousness, and anxiety, and it strengthens the nervous system.  It can be applied strait to the skin to cleanse and reduce inflammation, or it can be burned.  But as a stimulant, it is one of the few that can actually redden the skin for a short period of time in general.  So this is something to keep in mind.  However, it doesn’t really damage the skin, and it has various different positive properties.  So all things should be considered together.  In addition, should you combine it with for example jojoba oil, this can provide seriously complimentary benefits to it.
