Whole Dried Juniper Berries – Herbal Cleanse & Digestive Ally

Juniper berries (Juniperus communis) are not true berries but the seed cones of a small evergreen shrub. With their sharp, piney flavour and strong herbal aroma, they’ve long been used in folk medicine as a powerful digestive aid and natural detoxifier.

These dark blue berries support the body’s elimination pathways, especially the kidneys and urinary tract. Traditionally used to ease bloating, water retention, and sluggish digestion, juniper also supports healthy skin from within by gently promoting detoxification.

At Flowers from my Meadow, we offer whole dried juniper berries for blending into teas, tinctures, tonics, and culinary infusions. Grounding, clarifying, and perfect for your inner and outer cleanse.
