Juniper Young Shoot - Juniperus Communis

Juniper, an intriguing evergreen tree belonging to the pine family, is known for its robust and enduring wood. It exhibits a unique characteristic associated with the number three, with leaves in the form of sharp needles grouped in threes, three bracts per flower, and a three-year maturation period for its fruits. This symbolism represents the trinity and resonates with the temperament of mystics, introverts, and those on a religious quest.

Juniper exerts its therapeutic effects primarily in two areas:

1. Hepatic Regeneration: Juniper possesses depurative and vulnerary properties that contribute to the regeneration of the liver. By aiding in the function of the liver and gallbladder, it promotes hepatic health and alleviates portal congestion, thereby preventing the development of decompensatory sequelae associated with these conditions.

2. Renal Diuresis: Juniper facilitates diuresis and supports the elimination of uric acids from the body, benefiting the renal sphere.

Indication:

• Major Hepatic Insufficiency
