JUNIPER
By: Articles by a Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.)
Most commonly used to treat a bladder infection, juniper can also be found helpful for many other conditions...
Juniper shrubs produce berries that are the principal flavouring agent in gin. Unfortunately there aren’t enough of the medicinally active oils in gin to make it a form of supplementation. The most well known use for Juniper is as a treatment for bladder infection. Juniper is a diuretic and antiseptic in the urinary tract. These properties are due to the volatile oils found in the berries. Juniper is also used relieve chronic arthritis and gout.
It contains bitter substances that cause the release of saliva and digestive juices when it is tasted. This makes it useful for indigestion and lack of appetite. Juniper may also be recommended by natural health practitioners for prostate disorders or swelling in the lower legs.
Juniper berries can be used as raw berries, dried berries, encapsulated berries, tincture or tea. Fresh berries must be harvested in the second year to get high amounts of medicinal activity. Much of the essential oil content of the berries is lost during drying so fresh berries or liquid preparations are usually the most potent forms of this herb. Juniper can be found as a component of formulas for urinary infections, arthritis and prostate disorders. If juniper is used as a digestive aid then forms other than encapsulated berries should be used so that the herb is tasted.
There are possible interactions between juniper and diuretics or hypoglycemic medication. Juniper inhibits the absorption of minerals like iron and supplementation is advisable if you use juniper for long periods of time. Pregnant women and people with kidney disease should not use juniper.
