Juniperus gracilior var. ekmanii

Juniperus gracilior var. ekmanii, also known as ekman's juniper, is a variant of the juniperus gracilior species, a type of evergreen coniferous tree native to the Caribbean region.

The plant is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its essential oils, which contain compounds such as alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

The health benefits of ekman's juniper include its ability to relieve respiratory issues, such as bronchitis and asthma, as well as its potential to reduce inflammation and improve digestion.

Ekman's juniper can be prepared as an herbal remedy through tea, tincture, or infusion, although more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety as a medicinal treatment.
