Juniper berries and Urinary Tract Infections

Juniper berries, derived from the coniferous Juniperus plant, have a rich history of traditional use dating back centuries. In various cultures, these small, blue-purple berries (really fleshy cones) have been employed for their potential to address urinary tract infections (UTIs) and related ailments. Their diuretic properties were harnessed to increase urine production, aiding in the elimination of toxins and potentially flushing out bacteria from the urinary system. Juniper berries were often brewed into herbal teas or tinctures and consumed as a remedy for UTIs and kidney issues.

In modern clinical settings, juniper berries have retained their significance as a potential complementary approach to managing UTIs, and often prescribed by naturopathic physicians for this purpose. The berries contain active compounds such as terpenes, flavonoids, and essential oils, which are believed to possess antibacterial properties. Juniper berries’ diuretic action may help increase urine flow, potentially assisting in the elimination of pathogens from the urinary tract. However, it’s important to note that while juniper berries may offer support, for active infections, individuals seeking to utilize juniper berries for UTI relief should consult a healthcare professional to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

For prevention of UTIs, 1 dropperful of the tincture can be used, twice daily with cranberry juice in a little water.

A classic and highly revered herbal remedy, especially for nervous system and respiratory tract problems.
So easy to grow and beautiful to have in the garden. This is a rather low-dose herb so growing one plant can make a half a pint of the tincture and experiment with it. In line.
thanks for watching, sending out green herbal blessings the day after herb day.
I hope your spring will be full of beauty and magic. More time in the garden whether it’s small or large, or even in pots. We are caring on an ancient tradition of healing through connectedness with nature or source of all blessings..

The genus Ephedra is a group of gymnosperm plants that belong to the family Ephedraceae. These plants are commonly known as jointfirs or horsetails due to their unique appearance, characterized by the segmented and jointed stems that resemble the structure of horsetails. Ephedra species are distributed across various regions, with a significant presence in arid and semi-arid environments. While many Ephedra species are found in Asia and other parts of the world, North America is also home to several species of this genus.
