Description
Juniper leaf is uplifting, cleansing, and purifying. Medicinally used in respiratory support, often in steam inhalations to relieve cough, sore throat, and congestion. It can be applied to the skin to help joints, muscles, reduce water retention, and improve circulation. It is a diuretic and should not be used if you have kidney disease or are pregnant.
Juniper is an ancient metaphysical tool used for protection, purification, clearing spaces of negative energies, and exorcisms. Often burnt, carried, used in ritual baths or hung. Often used in “saining” (Scottish smoke-cleansing). Increases courage and vitality. Believed to protect against theft in some cultures.
