Tincture of Juniper Berries

  Juniper Berries                    5 oz.
  Spirit of Wine                      20 oz.
   
Digest in gentle warmth to extract a Tincture.
The better way of making it is to make a Spirit of Juniper Berries distilled from their fermented substance, and preferably from fresh Berries. This makes a more penetrating Spirit.
Dose: 10–30 drops, up to 50 drops.

    The Tincture of Juniper opens and discusses, resolves, dissipates and attenuates. It opens obstructions of the Liver and Spleen, strengthens the Brain, Nerves, Breast, Stomach, Kidneys and Lungs.
    Principally used to promote Urine in Edema, and to Clear Stones; it dissolves all Sandy, Viscous, Slimy or Tartarous substances of the urinary system. Also for Stones and Colic.
    It promotes Sweat, and preserves against contagion during Epidemics and Infectious times. Rolsincius said it ‘is a wonderful thing ... in depuration of the Blood, and preserves from Pestilential contagion’; said to be a ‘great preservative against the malignity of the Plague, and all Infectious and Pestilential Airs’.
    It also promotes Menstruation in women, and is is given for Cough, Hoarseness and Asthma. Used both internally and externally in Paralysis, Cramps, Convulsions and Rheumatism.
