Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions
Utah Juniper is a sturdy smaller tree (grows less than 30 feet tall) and can live for 650 years! All the gathering of the plant material is achieved by hand and then distilled by an artesian distiller. The needles and twigs are ethically harvested from trees that have naturally fallen. Our distiller states, "Keeping the plant material as un-compromised as possible assures the slow and gentle release of the plants active molecular structure. Wild gathering in remote places guarantees plants are free from human toxins."
We love this strong essential oil and combine it with other conifers and citrus oils in our diffuser and inhalers, and in a carrier oil or cream for topical use.
