Observations and Anecdotal Information

Juniper essential oil has been a medicine for native and indigenous peoples for many generations.  It has served to treat many ailments, including headaches, nausea, flu, acne, spider bites, and postpartum pain.

Considered a sacred tree,  juniper is used for ceremonial purposes.  It has been used  as an emetic during ceremonies, and for making ceremonial smudges and objects.

The dried berries are used to make bracelets for children, called ghost beads, which are worn at night to prevent nightmares.  Juniper has also been used as a cradleboard canopy, in wedding baskets, and as good luck tokens.

Its berries are cooked into traditional Native American foods, and the ash water from juniper serves as baking powder and flavoring for corn dishes.

In traditional herbalism, juniper berries are used primarily for bladder and urinary tract infections, stones, and kidney troubles.  This oil, distilled from a combination of berries and needles,  is mild enough to be used orally for this purpose, in a semi-homeopathic preparation, without concern of putting strain on the kidneys.

Juniper alkalinizes the blood, and detoxifies lymph and circulatory systems.
