Other Benefits:
Juniper essential oil has many health benefits, including the following.
Prevents Sepsis
Juniper oil, a well-known antiseptic in the past, was used to treat people who were injured or wounded in wars or athletics. It efficiently protects wounds from tetanus or wounds that have become septic.
Fights Arthritis
Juniper essential oil promotes and improves blood circulation. It also helps in eliminating toxins like uric acid from the body. Both of these properties help combat diseases associated with improper circulation and accumulation of toxins in the body, such as rheumatism, arthritis, gout, and kidney stones. This essential oil also relieves swelling.
Relieves Cramps
Juniper essential oil is also effective in almost all forms of cramps, whether muscular, intestinal, respiratory or otherwise. It relieves muscle cramps and helps in the treatment of spasmodic cholera. As an antispasmodic, it helps in the treatment of many other problems related to cramps or spasms.
Acts as an astringent
An astringent purifier, Juniper essential oil helps to cure toothaches, stops hair loss, strengthens the gums' grip on the teeth and prevents them from loosening or falling out. It also tightens loose muscles, giving a youthful feeling. This property can also be used to treat diarrhea. The most important benefit of this property is that as an astringent, it can cause blood vessels to constrict, reducing the chance of bleeding.
Irritant substance
Airway agents help to remove gas from the intestines. When trapped in the intestines and forced upwards, gas can be very dangerous and sometimes fatal. When gas is pushed upwards, it can suffocate a person, cause chest pain, indigestion and discomfort, increase blood pressure, threaten your heart health and give you acute stomach pains. In this regard, juniper oil can be very helpful to you. Gases are effectively removed through the downward passage and do not allow additional gas to form. Juniper oil is also very good for those who suffer from chronic gas.
Purifies Blood
The powder of the juniper plant cleanses the blood of toxins and thus acts as a detoxifier or blood purifier. This property is also known as deferative, meaning ‘cleansing’. It helps to remove common toxins such as uric acid, heavy metals, pollutants, and certain compounds and hormones produced by the body itself. It flushes these common toxins as well as other foreign toxins that accidentally enter the bloodstream.
Ensures Expulsion
Juniper oil is diuretic in nature, meaning it promotes urination. It increases the frequency and volume of urine. Therefore, it is very useful for people who have water retention or swelling due to minor or chronic kidney failure. It relieves these patients by removing extra water from the body through urine. It also helps people lose weight because some fat is removed from the body every time they urinate. This lowers blood pressure and flushes out extra salts and dangerous toxins such as uric acid from the body.
Fryer
Rubefacient, as the name goes, is an agent that makes your face look red. However, this is not limited to just the face, but also the rest of the body. When such a substance is applied to the skin, it increases blood circulation just below the skin, causing the skin to start to appear red. When applied excessively, it can cause skin irritation. Again, increasing blood circulation under the skin definitely benefits the skin and keeps it healthy and oxygenated.
Encouragement to sweat
A sudden substance is a substance that can cause heavy sweating or perspiration. This is nothing to irritate. The occasional sweat makes you feel lighter, healthier and helps to remove toxins, excess salt and water through sweat. This cleanses the skin pores and openings of the sweat and sebum glands, preventing acne and other skin diseases. Juniper oil has strong sudorific properties.
Acts as a stimulant
One of the properties of juniper oil, its abilities as Emenagogue, Galactogogue and Diuretic substance, is due to the single property of this substance as Stimulant. As a stimulant, it stimulates all activities inside the body. This stimulating effect also helps to overcome fatigue, dizziness and depression. It increases the activity of the brain and nervous system, nervous system, endocrine secretions and exocrine glands, including milk, sebum, sweat, tears, urine and discharges between the digestive system, digestive system and excretory system.
