A Potent Botanical for Detoxification, Digestion & Immune Defense
Juniper berry is a powerful cleansing herb traditionally used in European, Indigenous, and Ayurvedic herbalism for detoxification, urinary tract health, and digestive wellness. With its bold, resinous aroma, juniper is known for stimulating digestion, supporting kidney function, and acting as a natural antimicrobial.
Key Benefits & Uses
Juniper berry is valued for its diuretic, antimicrobial, and digestive-stimulating properties, making it a trusted botanical for:
✔️ Kidney & urinary tract health: Traditionally used to flush out toxins and support UTIs
✔️ Liver & detox support: Encourages the elimination of waste through the kidneys
✔️ Digestive aid: Helps relieve bloating, gas, and sluggish digestion
✔️ Immune defense: Naturally antimicrobial, supporting the body against infections
✔️ Circulatory health: Promotes blood flow and reduces stagnation
✔️ Respiratory support: Used in herbal steams to clear congestion and ease breathing
How to Use
🌿 Tea/Infusion: Steep crushed juniper berries for a detoxifying, digestion-supporting tea
🌿 Tincture: A concentrated extract for urinary, digestive, and immune support
🌿 Culinary Use: Used sparingly as a spice in sauces, marinades, and herbal liqueurs
🌿 Aromatherapy & Herbal Steam: Inhale juniper-infused steam for respiratory and cleansing benefits
🌿 Topical Use: Infuse into oils for muscle relief and skin purification
Sustainability & Sourcing
At Soulshine Wellness Co., we ensure our juniper berries are ethically wildcrafted or organically cultivated, preserving their potency while respecting the environment.
Safety & Considerations
⚠️ Not recommended for long-term use—best used in cycles due to its strong diuretic effects

⚠️ May interact with kidney conditions, diuretics, or blood sugar medications—consult a healthcare provider before use
⚠️ Use in small amounts to avoid irritation to the kidneys or digestive tract
