Juniperus Communis

Juniper has not been proved, but sufficient is known of its action to warrant its

inclusion, and to show the analogy between its action and that of J. Sabina. Gin owes its

distinctive properties to the oil of juniper berries, and that is why this spirit is in such popular

repute as a remedy for dysmenorrhcea. It has a very powerful action on the kidneys, and has

cured cases of renal dropsy. Hale also commends it in certain coughs with scanty, loaded urine.

He says German doctors use Juniper much in gastric affections, abdominal flatulence and colic.
