Juniper can be used as a room fragrance on its own, but it is much nicer when mixed with lavender oil. The whole blend producing a wonderful relaxing fragrance.
The berrylike cones of common juniper are used to flavour foods and alcoholic beverages. They are also used to season sauces and stuffings, in pickling meats, and to flavour liqueurs and bitters.
Oil of juniper, distilled from the wood and leaves of several species, is used in perfumes and in medicines such as diuretics.
