Juniper Berry Essential Oil Antimicrobial, Antifungal
A study published recently in the journal Acta Pharmaceutica showed that essential oil of juniper berry has antimicrobial properties. It also showed strong fungicidal activity against yeasts, yeast-like fungi, and dermatophytes. Dermatophytes are a common label for a group of three types of fungi that commonly cause skin disease of people and animals. Evidence showed juniper berry oil was particularly effective against the Candida yeast infection microbes. The study did not recommend how juniper berry should be used. Essential oils should not be used on bare skin without a messenger oil, nor taken internally. Read More.
