R102.00
Pharma Germania Natural Products Juniper Berries contain dried Juniperus communis berries, traditionally used in European herbal practice and as an aromatic culinary ingredient.
Juniper Berries have traditionally been used as a mild diuretic, supporting normal urine production and fluid elimination. This has contributed to their longstanding association with urinary tract and bladder wellness.
Their aromatic and bitter qualities have also led to traditional use for digestive support, particularly to encourage digestion and help relieve occasional bloating and flatulence.
Juniper Berries contain naturally occurring volatile oils, including α-pinene and other terpenes, as well as flavonoids and additional plant compounds.
In the kitchen, their distinctive pine-like, slightly peppery flavour complements savoury dishes, marinades, sauces and spice blends.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Juniper Berries?
Juniper Berries combine a long history of traditional herbal use with culinary versatility.
Their naturally occurring volatile oils contribute to their characteristic aroma and have traditionally made Juniper a popular botanical for urinary, digestive and fluid-balance preparations.
As a culinary ingredient, the berries provide a distinctive resinous, pine-like flavour and may be used whole or lightly crushed according to the recipe.
Juniper’s traditional diuretic use does not mean that it is appropriate for all causes of fluid retention or urinary symptoms, particularly where kidney or cardiovascular disease may be involved.
