What are Ghost Beads?
Ghost Beads are Juniper berries and have historically been utilized in Navajo medicine for their potential health benefits, including the treatment of conditions such as diabetes. These berries, which are the seeds of juniper trees, are also employed in the creation of traditional jewelry, notably ghost bead necklaces and bracelets. The juniper genus encompasses a variety of tree species, some of which are commonly referred to as "cedar," such as the "red cedar," a wood frequently used for making boxes and lining drawers. However, this terminology can be misleading because true cedar trees belong to a different botanical family. Consequently, products labeled as being made from cedar seeds or juniper seeds may actually originate from juniper or cedar juniper hybrids. For accuracy, it is preferable to refer to these seeds as juniper seeds or berries, rather than cedar seeds, to avoid confusion and ensure precise botanical identification.
