Juniper berry has a sweet, woodsy aroma and is used in aromatherapy blends but one of the best uses is for treating a sore throat, as well as fatigue, muscle aches, and respiratory infections. It works as it contains nearly 90 different active compounds, including antibacterial properties and powerful antioxidants. It can also take away the urge to cough, which can also work to relieve pain, preventing further types of abrasive activity in the respiratory tract.

Both inhaling the aroma and applying juniper berry oil topically is a great way to eliminate a sore throat as quickly as possible.

Juniper essential oil is used in the Muscle & Joint Pain, Sore Throat, Cough and Colds & Congestion massage oil blend treatment at Oriental Massage Galway (OMG).
