It’s official. We love Juniper Berry Essential Oil. It has a fresh, crisp aroma and a variety of therapeutic benefits. Plus, this essential oil is ideal for helping you succeed with your new year’s resolutions. Check out a few of our favorite ways to incorporate this handy little oil into your everyday life.
1. Slimming Gel
We all do it. Resolve to get fit in the new year. Maybe you join a gym and go for a couple weeks, but it’s easy to lose momentum. Give your workouts a boost with this easy Juniper Berry Slimming Gel. It can help firm and tighten the skin in problem areas.
2. Joint Rub
One of the many side effects of a good workout can be muscle and joint pain. Combine Juniper Berry with your favorite carrier oil and massage into the affected areas. This oil helps produce skin warmth which can ease the feelings of congestion and tightness.
3. Calm nervous tension
Maybe you’ve opted for a different kind of new years resolution: quitting smoking, easing up on caffeine, or cutting out junk food. While these are admirable goals, let’s be honest, it can make us just a little bit cranky. Keep Juniper Berry handy in your personal diffuser or use passive diffusion to help with the nervous tension associated with cravings and withdrawal.
4. Air Freshener
With temperatures dropping outside, it often leaves us bundled up inside with central heating blaring. The winter months can leave the air stale and stuffy. Add a few drops of Juniper Berry essential oil to your diffuser to help freshen and clean the air. Plus the sharp, green woody aroma is a pleasant scent to have around your home!
Juniper Berry sounds like an incredible oil. I love the versatility. I have had my eyes on it for awhile now but just haven’t got it yet. I think it is time to change that. Thank you for the info .
I’m wondering if Juniper is also useful for cough as so many fir and related oils are…does anyone know?
I can’t wait to make the slimming gel. I have everything for it now I just have to do it!
Great tips! I love the smell and am looking forward to using it on sore muscles!
I love how versatile this oil is. I’ve used it for a room freshener/disinfectant, to ease sore muscles, and as part of an immune blend. I’ll be purchasing my second bottle soon.
Thank you for the great information. I received this oil during the DOC sale in the mystery oils set. I love to diffuse it with lemon to calm nervous tension. Try it! You won’t be sorry
Just ordered this the other day. Looking for to trying it as a muscle rub!
I recently bought Juniper Berry, but was not quite sure of it’s TRUE benefits other than diffusing for the smell. It looks like I’ll be added it to pain blends moving forward. Thanks again for the education!
I look forward to trying things with this oil.
I ordered this a few months back, and honestly didn’t know how to use it. This is great!
I have fallen in love with the smell. I am going to try this in my pain oils and in my homemade mens perfume and deo.
Juniper Berry is a new favorite of mind which I discovered through PTs holiday scents. Thank you for featuring some of the lesser known oils.
Just purchased Juniper Berry!! Can’t wait to try!
I actually am very excited to try this oil. I originally ordered it for the slimming gel, but want to try it for sleeping and in an air freshener for the bathroom.
I am so glad you posted this! I have a bottle of Juniper berry in my storage box and I haven’t figured out yet what to do with it. This post is very helpful!
I had no idea it was good for nervous tension! My husband is quitting smoking thanks so much
I just ordered this and it should be here tomorrow! I am so so excited to try it! All the positive feedback and reviews I just can’t wait!
I love reading about all of the ways PT oils can be used. Adding this one to my wishlist for sure!
Love the idea of using this for nervous tension. May finally need to purchase.

ait never occurred to me that Juniper could be used in so many practical ways, thanks PT!
This is great I love Juniper Berry. I did not know that there were soo many different uses for it.
I have used Juniper Berry oil for years! It’s one of my favorites for the scent, and joint pain. Plant therapy oils are also on the top of my list for high quality oils!
( And no I’m not being payed or compensated in any way to post this.)
I ordered Juniper Berry a long time ago. When I got it I couldn’t remember why. Thanks to this blog I finally remember! Plus I learned how else to use it!! Thanks!
This has been on my wish list for a while, now I want it even more. Thank you so much for the amazing information.
I need to try the slimming gel recipe. All great tips
Juniper is a wonderful oil. My favorite way to use is diffused with grapefruit eo.
I love Juniper Berry …Thank you for the posts!
My mil bought this for me, had no idea it was good for sore muscles. Can’t wait to try it. Thankyou for the posts
I have never used Juniper Berry and I am excited to learn about some ways to use it!
I’ve used Juniper before in a muscle rub particularly for tense shoulders and it’s always helped soothe the muscles. The slimming gel sound good too!
Can you diffuse Juniper Berry around cats?
I love Juniper Berry. It lends it’s strength to me when I can’t find my own. It protects me from negativity, when crankiness wants to creep in. I also just love the fresh scent, as well as those things it does to help me through my day.
Thank you for great ideas on juniper berry oil. I have it but was not sure how/when/what for to use it. Definitely will try your suggestions.
Juniper berry is one I’ve had in my case for a while and never was quite sure how to use it. I’ve started adding it to sleep. Almost looking forward to getting sore muscles so I can try it. Thanks PT!
Ordering all the items to try the slimming gel!
I bought my first bottle this week and am excited to try it! It came in today, and I already like the scent <3
How do you get/make juniper gel?
I just got this last month, and have been looking for more ways to use it—perfect timing! I had no idea it could ease muscle and joint tightness.
Hello! Would the recipe for the slimming jelly work with a 100 percent aloe gel as well or would it be too runny? I’d hate to waste all the precious oil drops. I just don’t want alcohol in the jelly. Thank you for the wonderful idea!
I made the slimming gel today and plan to use it in conjunction with my working out ️♀️
Great information. Will try this one for sure!
This has been on my wishlist and I couldn’t pass up the deal when it showed up in Spotlight oil of the week. Should be here early next week and I can’t wait! I’m so excited for this one!
Oh thanks for the spotlight on this oil. It’s on my wishlist but I haven’t purchased yet.
I’ve been wanting to try Juniper Berry for a long time. Now I have no reason not to!
Love the idea of exploring some natural rubs for joint pain for myself and parents.
Perhaps this needs to make it’s way to my wishlist. Have a continuous battle with anxiety and I am looking for something to alternate with Copaiba for a rub when I workout. Thanks for the info!
This is great in a bath!
I use this a lot in my diffuser and is great in some of my sleep blends, but like someone above, did not know about it helping with muscle or joint pain. I am starting to run low. . . . . . hmmm
What is the recipe for the slimming gel? Interested!

I need to try this! Adding it to my cart.
I tried it for sleep awhile ago, but didn’t care for the smell. After reading this I’m thinking of trying again–it might be one of those smells that grows on you.
I do not remember seeing this oil on Plnt Therapy…I think I’m going to have to put it on my wish list!
This is such a tempting offer! It sounds like it can support in so many ways.
I enjoy juniper berry as a sleep aid too!! It’s got a great scent.
It sure does!
Perfect! Juniper berry has been number 1 on my wish list! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you, Plant Therapy!
So interesting, I didn’t know about the effects on joints and will be using mine for that!
This is really interesting! I may have to try this to freshen the air. I really love green woody aromas. I am going to keep the slimming gel in mind as well. Thank you PT!
This sounds great! Can’t wait to get some!
I love Juniper Berry and these are all great ideas for uses.
My neck and shoulder muscles are also tensed up due to Long hours in front of the computer. Will be adding this to my wish list!
I have diffused a couple of drops in my little ones room at night to help with sleeping and bad dreams. We both love the smell for sure.
