Wild fruits and berries - juniper berries (fructus juniperi) - irritating the kidneysBe careful how you use them, however; too much may irritate the kidneys, and this is easily done if you take the juice or extract. If someone suffers from nephritis or similar kidney conditions, he should take juniper only in homoeopathic doses, Juniperus communis Ix or 2x. For cases of asthma, and particularly the excessive mucous catarrh that may result from the disease, juniper extract is most beneficial and its use should be alternated with that of barberries and rowan berries. Oedematous conditions (excessive accumulation of fluid in the body) and acute inflammation of the bladder (cystitis) will respond to juniper in the form of an infusion, essence or extract. Eat juniper berries every morning before breakfast, one berry the first day, two the second day, and so forth until you reach twenty and then go back, reducing the amount day by day to just one. This is very good for stimulating the appetite and strengthening the stomach and will benefit the glands. Moreover, if you tie some juniper needles in a muslin bag, and place this under the hot tap when you run a bath, you will have a good remedy for rheumatism and gout. *753/28/1* Herbal «Generic Medications» |
