The juniper (Juniperus communis) strenghtens the whole body and detoxicates it as it:

- Has an antiseptic (disinfective) and bacterial effect (prevents bad bacteria growth)
- Relieves coughing and phlegm secretion in the airway
- Helps with heartburn
- Kills infection bacteria (bacile koli) in the bladder and urinary tract
- Carries away fluid
- Helps with digestion (encourages good bacteria growth in intestines)

Brandy juniper is well known mostly as a digestive drink (after heavy and greasy food) as it positively effects metabolism and digestion, eases menstrual pains and stomach problems.

Juniper oil is used for:

- Preventing infections of lungs and throat
- Cold and respiratory problems (as an inhalation therapy)
- Ear pains (a drop or two is put in the ear)
- Gastric and digestive disorder (stomach massage with the oil)
- Intestine disinfection and prevention from getting worms (a few oil drops are consumed-  possibily on a sugarcube)
- Rheumatism, gout, inflammation of the joints, lower back pain (oil is applied on painful spots)
- Poor circulation as it penetrates deep into skin (massage)
- Tired muscles, swelling bruises (juniper oil massage accelerates recovery)
