Juniper Berry

By: Vipul / Category: Miscellaneous

Juniper Berry is a native species of many northern countries and has a long history of medicinal use. It has stimulant, tonic and antiseptic properties. It is beneficial in the treatment of stress and sleeplessness. In cases of debility it helps by acting as a tonic for the digestion and boosting the appetite.

Juniper seems to be beneficial to the digestive system, the female reproductive system and the menstrual cycle. It also helps regulate problem skin and is favoured by therapists in the treatment of acne, eczema, dermatitis and haemorrhoids. It helps disperse uric acid build up and is therefore useful in the treatment of gout and other joint problems. It is a good stress reliever especially when used in the baths.
