Why Olena Loves Juniper Gemmo

I love how efficiently Juniper delivers results. Its responsiveness means it only needs to be taken for short periods of time, making it a practical and highly effective choice.

The Juniper Tree

Native to the cooler regions of Europe, Juniper can take on various forms, including a creeping shrub, bushy shrub, or erect small tree, reaching up to 30 feet (9 meters) tall.

It has sharp needle-like leaves and produces cone-like fruits that resemble berries, measuring ¼–½ inch in diameter. In some regions, Juniper is one of the slowest-growing plants on Earth. Its wood, known for its aromatic scent and resistance to insects and rot, has been used historically in temples, palace roofs, clothes chests, and coffins.

Juniper has long been regarded as a sacred and protective tree among Celts and Germans, believed to ward off evil spirits.

Within the Restoring Immunity System

Nervous System Support

Juniper does not have a direct action on the nervous system.

Elimination Support

Juniper provides excellent elimination support for individuals with medium to high vitality. It is not recommended as a first elimination extract but should follow the use of another well-matched elimination extract.

Alkalizing Support

Juniper is highly effective for:

• Liver Degeneration: Particularly due to overconsumption of alcohol.
• Kidney Stones: Use for calcium and oxalic kidney stones when a more aggressive approach is needed (try Peach or Heather first).
• Optimizing Urinary Elimination: Secondary improvements in stool elimination often occur.
• General Metabolism: Improves metabolic rates in both men and women.
• Fertility Preparation: Optimizes kidney and liver function in preparation for pregnancy, enhancing overall fertility.
• Cancer Treatments: Supports kidney and liver health during cancer treatments (except kidney cancer—use Heather instead).
