Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Our juniper bushes in the complex that we manage are producing massive amounts of berries at the moment. I've done some research as to what they may be good for, and it sounds interesting. Has anyone had any actual experience with them? What were the results? How were they used? The usual stuff. Thanks, Gang!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Me neither! When I was 15 or so I was snowbound for a week. In a teenager's desperation, I took fresh snow, topped it with Kool Ade and gin. Still tasted nasty.

Also used in folk remedies for flatulence, urinary cystitis, colic, coughs, and stomachaches. NotesJuniper berries are used to flavor gin.

From some websites I visited, it appears to have some good medicinal properties, but I was wondering if it was worth the effort, as so many other herbs etc do the same thing. Moody friends.
