A wintertime aromatherapy blend featuring juniper oil can be adapted for use as an invigorating massage oil or a holiday fragrance. This recipe will yield about 1 teaspoon of concentrated essential oil blend. The blend can be diluted in vegetable oil for a massage oil preparation or diffused for scenting the home. For a massage oil, dilute 12 drops of the blend in 3 ounces of vegetable oil. To diffuse into the air, use a candle diffuser or terra cotta ornament style diffuser.
Aromatherapy is supportive in the winter season of quiet regeneration.
Juniper berry oil is well suited for this purpose, being pleasantly sweet and fruity with a gently invigorating fresh evergreen tone. Combined with other winter season oils like pine and fir needle and sweetened with a fruity citrus oil like bergamot, juniper berry becomes an indispensable aroma with therapeutic and aesthetic applications.
