Juniper berry essential oil typically comes from the fresh or dried berries and needles of the Juniperus communis plant species. Known as a powerful detoxifier and immune system booster, juniper berry plants originate from Bulgaria and have a long history of naturally helping prevent both short- and long-term illnesses.

Juniper berries themselves are high in flavonoid and polyphenol antioxidants that have strong free radical scavenging abilities.
