Juniper Berries (60g) – Natural Remedy for Urinary Tract & Respiratory Health

For centuries, juniper berry infusions and decoctions have been used to treat urinary tract infections, edema, kidney stones, and other urinary system disorders. Their diuretic effect is effectively combined with disinfecting properties. However, juniper berry preparations can irritate the kidneys and should not be used for certain kidney diseases, including nephritis. These berries are also used to facilitate expectoration and thin mucus in upper respiratory tract infections. Decoctions are used in baths for rheumatism and gout, and as compresses for aching joints. For external use, juniper berry essential oil (derived from green shoots or berries) offers superior effectiveness, providing relief from rheumatism through muscle and joint rubs and promoting healing of slow-healing wounds and ulcers. Beyond medicinal uses, juniper berries impart a distinctive flavor to alcoholic beverages like gin. Known for its antibacterial properties, juniper is also traditionally used to address skin conditions, asthma, and tuberculosis. Its essential oils, with their pungent, smoky, and resinous aroma, offer calming and stress-relieving benefits. Juniper boasts potent antibacterial properties, particularly in its needles. The essential oil cleanses, strengthens, provides pain relief, warms, and invigorates. It alleviates toothache, treats dermatitis, improves heart function, and reduces inflammation in bronchial and lung tissue. It’s also a recognized anti-cellulite remedy, regulates blood pressure and circulation, and offers relief from constipation and colic. Always consult a healthcare professional before using juniper berries for medicinal purposes.
