North American customers can now buy our repellent products from our new website in North Carolina here.
Sometimes nature is just very beautiful, nothing else is required – take a look at a Juniper tree and you’ll see that it fits that bill perfectly.
The berries have a lovely clear, intense blue color offset by the backdrop of deep green, needle-like leaves and a delicate yet refreshing pine forest scent.
(For anyone in a hurry, the offer details are at bottom of the page!)
They are usually found in the western states of North America as well as South East Asia and Europe and are commonly harvested in the fall before the first frosts.
Probably best known for the use of their berries as the main ingredient in gin, originally from Holland where it was discovered by the British back in the 17th century during the ‘Thirty years war’.
They were also discovered to be used medicinally much earlier than this, with juniper-based health related tonics appearing prominently in a Dutch publication as early as 1269 and commonly used by the navy with lime to prevent scurvy.
The berries contain anti-inflammatory and pain numbing properties and so make an excellent base for our anti-itch balm.
We infuse crushed, dried Juniper berries in organic Coconut oil over several days before adding Juniper Berry, Basil and lime essential oils, making a strong, natural and soothing anti-itch balm.
Basil is an important medicinal plant, due to its antioxidant, anti-microbial and stress fighting properties and is also included in our anti-itch balm.
As basil also contains eugenol, which is also found in cloves, oregano and other herbs and spices, it provides the plant with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits that make an ideal and natural anti-itch balm ingredient.
Lime too is in the mix. As a great source of vitamin C, other vitamins and minerals and known for its immune boosting, anti-cancer properties, plus its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, this all helps make it an important and effective ingredient in our anti-itch balm.
It is well worth mentioning that as a bonus, basil, lime and juniper are each also said to have mosquito repelling properties!
