the cleanser for body and soul
Juniper trees have always been a symbol of longevity as they can live up to 2000 years. The berries take 2-3 years to ripen and all stages of ripeness depend on the same bush, so the harvest is low-yield and time-consuming. Juniper twigs are also called the "frankincense of the north" and are considered a traditional incense because of their cleansing and clarifying powers. Even the ancient Germans used juniper smoke to ward off evil spirits and to disinfect rooms. Also in the kitchen, juniper berries are indispensable in some of our traditional dishes. The juniper grows primarily in the Mediterranean region, but also characterizes the landscape of the Lüneburg Heath. Essential juniper oil is obtained through the steam distillation of the berries.
