Juniper berries stimulate urination, sweating, and mucous secretion. Juniper is said to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce pain related to arthritis, rheumatic conditions, and sore muscles and joints. Juniper can also stimulate urination to help flush out deposits that build up in cold joints and limbs.

For colds the berry tea can help heal the lungs because it is an expectorant. Juniper berries are also considered a blood purifier and overall system cleanser.

Juniper can irritate the urinary tract and kidneys if used long term. Also it could result in convulsions and irritation to the digestive tract. People with kidney problems and pregnant women should avoid juniper.

Please consume wild plants at your own risk! Consult multiple reliable sources before consuming any wild plants! This video is for information and entertainment only!
