The action of juniper closely resembles cypress, to which it is botanically related. Juniper berries are used most often in the treatment of urinary problems, like edema, kidney stones, and lower back (lumbar)pain. Juniper is helpful in the treatment of gout, bursitis, muscle pain, and rheumatoid arthitis because it helps to prevent the buildup of uric acid in the system, and is an antiinflammatory. Juniper berries are a mild diuretic that stimulate urination without causing loss of electrolytes. Drink a flavorful cup of juniper berry tea after a heavy meal to reduce indigestion, bloating and gas.
