Juniper Berries, 1oz.

Juniper Berries have long been used in herbal medicine for problems such as stomach pain and urinary disorders. It was once thought to be the best cure for snakebites and was thought to ward off the plague by ancient people.

Today, juniper berries aren’t quite used to the same extent. However, they do have a place in modern herbal medicine. The berries of the juniper plant contain chemicals called flavonoids, tannins, and volatile oil. These are the ingredients that are considered the most important and the cause for their ability to heal specific problems.

Juniper berries are most often used as a diuretic. They work so well because the chemicals in the berries actually irritate the kidneys.
