Juniper Berries

Benefits:

Juniper berries are found on the evergreen juniper shrub, which grows widely throughout the Northern Hemisphere.  These berries are antiseptic and promote proper kidney function and flow of digestive fluids.

The berries’ nutritional profile includes quercetin, proanthocyanidins and volatile oil. Volatile oils may help cleanse the urinary tract as they pass through.

The berries are particularly supportive of the urinary system as they help the body maintain proper fluid balance.

Juniper berries traditionally have been used to “detoxify” the body and promote healthy digestion and skin health, among many other things. And the results definitely aren’t all anecdotal. There are a large number of studies that reflect the incredible antioxidant and antibacterial potential of juniper berries. (That’s probably why doctors used to sanitize medical equipment with them.)

Long before they were used in food, the Greeks used juniper berries as medicine and stimulants for Olympic athletes. (5) Romans used them as a less expensive pepper substitute.

It’s a good thing the juniper berry has been around for so long, because scientists are just now beginning to find out just how beneficial it can be as a natural remedy for various issues.
