Juniper – A Three Word Buzz

Posted on April 11, 2018 by suzannerbanks

Hello natural beauties and scent lovers from all over the world! I absolutely love juniper and often go through stages of wanting and needing it all the time. It’s crisp, clean and fresh and in aromatherapy is used as an astringent for oily skin, to help with joint pain and rheumatism, as a diuretic and can be seen as a gentle detoxifier. I often use juniper to cleanse and release heavy, watery emotions. It’s made from the gorgeous purple berries of the juniper bush – Juniperus communis.

And of course juniper’s real claim to fame is its integral part in gin. I have been known to accidentally ask for a “juniper and tonic” once (possibly twice) before.

There’s one thing for sure, this oil has a distinct and delightful scent, and here are some Australian perfumers and “noses” to give you their 3 word buzz on this unique oil.

About the Dog Year

The dog is the 11th zodiac animal out of 12 so we are in the autumn stages of the cycle. To be specific this year is the year of the Brown Earth (Mountain) Dog. Next year we move into the first water sign, but for now, this is a year to look after your friends and family. Stay true and loyal to those around you, and try your best to embrace empathy and togetherness with your brothers and sisters around the world.

This is not a year to be selfish and put yourself above others, if you do it will backfire and you will not have flow and harmony in your life. This year is a good time to pay attention to your health, and you may even feel inclined to have a more conservative approach in your everyday life. The dog year is very oriented to work, and everything around it. Learning new skills and working with others are big themes this year.

This is a year of solidarity!

Purity – A New Botanical Perfume by banks botanicals

Posted on May 17, 2017 by suzannerbanks

Hello natural beauties!. It’s time to introduce the next botanical perfume, purity, from my perfume range called REVELATION. The 10 all-natural organic botanical perfumes correspond with my book of the same name. Each perfume represents a “Revelation Formula” from one of the ten chapters on essential oils. Purity is about cleansing your space, your personal energetic field and fortify yourself with a little protection.

From the Space Cleansing and Protection chapter in my book, I have created purity the botanical perfume.

purity 9ml roll-on bottle

“Clutter-clearing is modern day alchemy”

Denise Lin, Author

Clearing and cleansing your space can be fantastically liberating and freeing. Once all the extra stuff is gone, cleaning with essential oils can take reclamation to a new level. Even just cleaning with oils can make you feel lighter, as you energetically release the old negative emotions and patterns and move into a new mind space. I call it purification, and it definitely applies to your chakras and energetic body as well as your home or office.

Clear out the old, cleanse your space and body with essential oils, and protect your personal aura with intention and this gorgeous perfume I’ve created.

“Man flows at once to God when the channel of purity is open”

Henry David Thoreau, Poet

So why not flow with the energy of the universe, with a pure heart and mind?

purity 1ml sample

The purity formula combines happiness oils and some of the essential oils I have listed in the Space Cleansing and Protection chapter of my book. All my perfumes are hand-made, organic, vegan, jojoba oil based.

purity is a sweet resinous fragrance that is as comforting as a balm and as cleansing as an autumn shower. Peru balsam is your sensual heroine with crisp sophisticated juniper highlights and lo-fi sprinklings of thyme and may chang. Add pretty pink grapefruit and inhale the divinity.

Cleanse and fortify your forcefield.

Ingredients: essential oils of *pink grapefruit, Peru balsam, *juniper, *may chang, *pine and *thyme in *jojoba. *certified organic.

1ml sample $ 9 AUD

9ml roll-on $67 AUD

Are you ready to cleanse your space and fortify your energetic body?

heart of stone?

Pure Pulse Point Perfume

In a little dish mix these oils and anoint your pulse points or chakras – 3 drops of essential oils and dilute with a few drops of carrier oil – always patch test first!

“Heart of Stone”

Ylang Ylang 1 drop

nutmeg 1 drop

orange 1 drop

“Love in the Fairy Grotto”

Indian rosewood 1 drop

Peru balsam 1 drop

palmarosa 1 drop

“Spice it Up”

black pepper 1 drop

ginger 1 drop

rose 3% 3 drops * see my article for more info on 3% blends in jojoba

oil blend for your body

Nourishing Body Oil

For a coat of your body use 3 teaspoons of carrier oil in a little dish and, add 7 – 8 drops of essential oil. It’s always best to patch test first, before you apply all over.

***** Always put the drops of essential oil into the bottle or dish first, then add the carrier oil. It gives the scents time to create a synergistic fusion.

For a 50ml bottle of oil add 25 drops and see my articles “Ratios for Blending Essential Oils – A Reminder of the Basics” and “Aromatherapy – It’s Easy as 1 2 3”

“Softness”

mandarin 3 drops

geranium 2 drops

patchouli 2 drops

juniper 1 drop

“Openness”

Neroli 3% 6 drops * see my article for more info on 3% blends in jojoba

Australian sandalwood 2 drops

bergamot 2 drops

basil 1 drop

“Sensuality”

jasmine 3% 6 drops * see my article for more info on 3% blends in jojoba

orange 3 drops

fennel 1 drop

everlasting 1 drop

bath with petals

Soak in a bath

I don’t often recommend adding too many essential oils to a bath as they are difficult to disperse and can cause minor skin irritations when combined with the heat of the water. If you do like to use them in a bath, try 4 -6 drops in total and add the drops to another medium like sea salt, coconut milk, other milks or a water dispersible agent.

Add a few rose petals too:

“A Rose is a Rose is a Rose”

rose 3% 6 drops

rosewood 1 drop

palmarosa 1 drop

rose geranium 1 drop

Lilly diffuser

Scent Your Space

In a traditional oil burner with a candle or a diffuser add 25 drops of oil

“I’m Number One”

petitgrain 8 drops

French lavender 8 drops

Vanilla CO2 extract 5 drops

cedarwood Himalayan 4 drops

“It’s Lovely Here”

lemon 12 drops

frankincense 5 drops

patchouli 4 drops

cinnamon 4 drops

“Multi dimensional Movement”

lime 10 drops

rosemary 5 drops

melissa 5 drops

clary sage 3 drops

vetiver 2 drops

Roses by me

Happy blending and remember to use your intention when you are creating your formulas. See my article about intention.

So my scented friends, these are recipes for the diffuser for us – heat, mosquitoes, flies, the beach, the pool and Christmas in our own special way.

Ode to Juniper

Posted on May 4, 2016 by suzannerbanks

Hello natural beauties, I’ve missed you. Today I salute juniper; the bush, the berry, and the essential oil. I have been known to walk into a bar and ask for a juniper and tonic, (accidentally). I find myself going through periods of time when I just can’t get enough of this amazing oil. Let us give some love to juniper …

Dried juniper berries at a spice shop in Sydney

“The fire. The odor of burning juniper is the sweetest fragrance on the face of the earth, in my honest judgment;

I doubt if all the smoking censers of Dante’s paradise could equal it. One breath of juniper smoke, like the perfume of sagebrush after rain, evokes in magical catalysis, like certain music, the space and light and clarity and piercing strangeness of the American West.

Long may it burn.”

“Desert Solitaire “, Edward Abbey

“Summertime, oh, summertime, pattern of life indelible, the fade-proof lake, the woods unshatterable, the pasture with the sweetfern and the juniper forever and ever . . .

E.B. White

Juniper in the fog, somewhere

“He was at ease in his skin, at ease in his shoes, which were cut out of the same doeskin as his gloves; his foot in its elastic prison could stretch, could bend, could feel itself alive. His beaver hat was pulled down over his eyes & kept out the landscape; he was smoking dried juniper, after the Algerian fashion, in a little clay pipe & letting his thoughts wander at their will …”

“Lacfadio’s Adventures“, André Gide

Dried juniper berries in bottles – lovely

“Probably one of the earliest incenses used by Mediterranean Witches. Its berries were used with thyme in Druid and grove incenses for visions.”

Paul Kendall

“Juniper

spontaneous lightness

I’ve always used juniper to release negative energy, watery emotions. When you can let go of emotions and energy that do not serve your highest good, it is easier to find a more positive vibe. Juniper is an oil that tends to trigger the action of spontaneous lightness”

“Revelation! Reveal Your Destiny with Essential Oils”, Suzanne R Banks

sparkly, fresh juniper

“If you want an oil as a champion of “protection” juniper will not let you down. Juniper has the scent of sophistication.”
