I use Juniper Berry oil nearly everyday.  I keep it on my bedside.  As humans, we naturally tend to worry and fear.  Think of all the many great things to worry about in this world!  LOL.  We don’t want to fear because it is not FAITH.  We can’t have fear and faith at the same time.  It will cancel out and you’ll be stuck in frustration.  Life doesn’t have to be this difficult, it can be a little bit easier when we learn to use the right tools to overcome our fears.   Juniper Berry is the Oil of the Night!

Juniper Berry oil from dōTERRA is high in monoterpenes (>50%), which means it is amazing for balancing the endocrine system.  Monoterpenes inhibits the accumulation of toxins and helps the kidney and liver to cleanse those toxins out.

dōTERRA’s Juniper Berry is VERY different to other Juniper oils because this Juniper Berry oil is taken just from the berries!  It can’t be compared to other Juniper oils!

BODY

Juniper Berry is high in Antioxidants.  Antioxidants removes potentially damaging oxidizing agents from our body.  Oxidation causes aging!

The Kidney’s job is to filter water soluble substances.  Juniper Berry helps the kidneys remove old toxins, uric acids and other debris.

It is great for clearing up the skin.  It cleanse the surface of the skin from environment threats! (1) It can be applied directly.

Juniper Berry works on the inside out too.  Juniper Berry is one of the oils in the detoxification blend (Zendocrine).  When our organs are clean with nutrition and essential oils such as Juniper Berry, the body no longer needs the skin to act as the 3rd Kidney to eliminate toxins out, so our skin clears up.

Because Juniper Berry works so well for the kidneys, it assists in bladder functions too.

Internal Body Clock

Our organs take turns working in shifts, at night time, if we have a problem staying asleep, it could mean that some of those organs are unhappy for some reason. Sometimes people get up at exactly a particular time each night to go to the bathroom.  Rub Juniper Berry on the tummy or drink it in water before bed.  Juniper Berry, “settles the organs” while you sleep.  This way, you will be able to sleep through the night.

Lungs: 3am-5am
Colon: 5am-7am

MIND

Juniper Berry is the Oil of the Night and The Unknown.  According to the Emotions & Essential Oils, the negative emotions Juniper Berry oil helps to release are as follows: Irrational fears, recurrent nightmares, disrupted sleep, avoiding

The positive properties we can incorporate are the following: Protected, peaceful dreaming, courageous, self-aware

Juniper Berry oil helps to purge us of the worry and self-absorption that is rooted in a fear of failure. It helps restores our determination to overcome life’s obstacles.  Juniper Berry replaces disconnection and isolation with movement and openness.  When we worry we stop the flow, and if we remain here long enough we allow things to solidify and harden, which makes it more difficult to remove.  Like the physical uric acid gradually solidifying into stones, we are simply hurting ourselves when we hold onto the negative emotions too long.

Juniper Berry is grounding, balancing, and removing emotional blockages such as grief.  Your kidneys hold emotions of anger, bitterness, guilt, hatred, resentment, depression, frustration, indecisiveness, panic, and taken for granted.  Juniper Berry can enter your kidney and assist you in releasing these negative emotions.  Rub directly over the kidney.

Juniper Berry is like a sister to Cypress, it assist us in moving forward.  It helps us let go of old anger and bitterness.  It helps us stop playing and replaying negative thoughts in our minds.  It holds our hands as we walk forward into the night.

Juniper Berry oil works to break through psychological stagnation and consolidate will-power.  It is those who feel burdened and aloof, and deeply absorbed in their own thoughts – thoughts which revolve around worries, pressures, and unpleasant memories–like playing an old movie in your head over and over.  We need to remove it because whatever you focus on you will create.  Law of attraction.  So focus on positive things only.

SPIRIT

When we are unable to filter spiritual information we have been given, we naturally begin to feel fearful–especially fearful of the unknown.  Don’t expect yourself to get over it immediately.  You will be pealing layers of fears of different things throughout your life.  You fill find that you can face fears and do it anyways.  Using essential oils for spiritual growth is a simple yet powerful tool to help you take control and develop the faith you would like to invite light in.

Don’t be like those people who feel are stuck because they want more information before they move forward.  God will give you a little information at a time.  You just have to make room for miracles to happen one miracle at a time.

“That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.”—Proverbs 3: 24

Juniper Berry is the Oil of the Night.  It guides you through the night and back to the light.  Trust that everything is consecrated for your own good…even the dark moments in your life.

 

*Note about ingesting oils: I only recommend the dōTERRA CPTG essential oils that are labeled for internal usage.  I can not vouch for any other brand or grade.
