Juniper berry essential oil, with its woodsy and sweet aroma, is widely valued for creating a calming and peaceful atmosphere. The therapeutic benefits of juniper are primarily derived from its berries, which are rich in active compounds. These berries are carefully harvested and steam-distilled to obtain the essential oil. Juniper thrives in the Himalayan region at altitudes between 3,000 and 3,500 meters, with key sourcing areas in the mid-hill and northern regions of Nepal. The oil is known for its respiratory-clearing properties when inhaled and provides a refreshing, cleansing effect on the skin. Juniper essential oil is commonly used in aromatherapy to purify the air and promote relaxation. The harvesting season occurs from February to April, when the berries are at their peak potency.
