Massage Oil for Strenuous Workout

Cedar_Juniper_Berries

Almost FREE!
Juniper oil extracts (obtained through distillation) are used as an external application for bone-joint difficulties, but herbalist John Lust warns “…the pure oil is irritating and in large quantities, can cause inflammation and blisters.” A milder home product can be made by soaking juniper berries in olive oil; use as a massage oil for strained muscles or aching joints. To obtain juniper liniment, soak the fruits in everclear or witch hazel for two weeks; then strain the fluids and use this to rub down a horse’s legs after a strenuous workout, or a human’s back after a hard day.
