Overview: Juniper is a short to medium-height tree that grows wild in some parts of Europe, North America, and Asia. Juniper is typically used to make medicine and is used for digestion problems including upset stomach, intestinal gas, heartburn, bloating, and loss of appetite. Juniper is also applied directly to the skin for wounds as well as pain in joints and muscles.
Common Dosage: The recommended dose of juniper depends on several factors such as the user’s age, health, and several other conditions.
