Chronic Asthmatic Bronchitis Treatment - Juniper - Uses and Side Effects
Quote
Juniper berries have long been used as a flavoring in foods and alcoholic beverages such as gin. Gin's original preparation was used for kidney ailments. Immature berries are green, taking 2 to 3 years to ripen to a purplish blue-black. The active component is a volatile oil, which is 0.2% to 3.4% of the berry. The best described effect is diuresis, caused by terpinene-4-01, which results from a direct irritation to the kidney, leading to increased glomerular filtration rate. Juniper berries are available as ripe berry, also called berry-like cones or mature female cones, fresh or dried, and as powder, tea, tincture, oil, or liquid extract.

Tell patient to notify pharmacist of any herbal and dietary supplements that he's taking when obtaining a new prescription.  Advise patient to consult his health care provider before using an herbal preparation because a conventional treatment with proven efficacy may be available.

  • Research summary  Juniper may have some benefit in diabetic treatment, but further study is necessary.
  • Juniper has an extensive toxicology profile, and therefore must be used with caution.
Reported Uses
Juniper berries are used to treat urinary tract infections and kidney stones. They're also used as a carminative and for multiple nonspecific GI tract disorders, including dyspepsia, flatulence, colic, heartburn, anorexia, and inflammatory GI disorders. :)

Inform Patient that Urine May Turn Purplish With Higher Doses of Juniper
Tell patient to avoid applying juniper to large ulcers or wounds because local irritation (burning, blistering, redness, and edema) may occur. We have to be very flexible when talking to children about Bronchitis. They seem to interpret things in a different way from the way we see things! :)

As a food, maximum flavoring concentrations are 0.01% of the extract or 0.006% of the volatile oil. Other reported effects of juniper include hypoglycemia, hypotension or hypertension, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects, and stimulation of uterine activity leading to decreased implantation and increased abortifacient effects. Our dreams of writing a lengthy article on Bronchitis has finally materialized Through this article on Bronchitis. however, only if you acknowledge its use, will we feel gratitude for writing it!

There may be additive hypoglycemic effects when juniper is combined with other herbs that lower blood glucose level, such as Asian ginseng, dandelion, fenugreek, and Siberian ginseng. Juniper may have additive effects with other herbs causing diuresis, such as cowslip, cucumber, dandelion, and horsetail. When a child shows a flicker of understanding when talking about Treat Bronchitis, we feel that the objective of the meaning of Treat Bronchitis being spread, being achieved.

Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should avoid juniper because of its uterine stimulant and abortifacient properties. Juniper shouldn't be used by those with renal insufficiency, inflammatory disorders of the GI tract (such as Crohn's disease), seizure disorders, or known hypersensitivity. It shouldn't be used topically on large ulcers or wounds because it may cause local irritation.

Oil (1:5 in 45% Alcohol):
03 to  2 ml by mouth three times a day  Tea (steep 1 teaspoon crushed berries in 5 oz boiling water for 10 minutes, and then strain): three times a day We found it rather unbelievable to find out that there is so much to learn on Bronchitis! Wonder if you could believe it after going through it!

Tincture (1:5 in 45% Alcohol): 1 to 2 Ml by Mouth Three Times a Day
Hazards  Adverse reactions to juniper include local irritation and metrorrhagia. When used with antidiabetics such as chlorpropamide, glipizide, and glyburide, hypoglycemic effects may be potentiated. Concomitant use of juniper and anti-hypertensives may interfere with blood pressure. Juniper may potentiate the effects of diuretics such as furosemide, leading to additive hypokalemia. A disulfiram-like reaction could occur because of alcohol content of juniper extract.

Administration  Dried ripe berries: 1 to 2 g by mouth three times a day; maximum 10 g dried berries daily, equaling 20 to 100 mg essential oil  Liquid extract (1:1 in 25% alcohol): 2 to 4 ml by mouth three times a day Nothing abusive about Bronchitis have been intentionally added here. Whatever it is that we have added, is all informative and productive to you.

Safety Risk Juniper May Cause Seizures, Kidney Failure, and Spontaneous Abortion
Clinical considerations  Advise patient that he shouldn't take juniper preparations for longer than 4 weeks. Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Bronchitis worth reading!

  • Safety Risk Kidney damage may occur in patients taking juniper for extended periods.
  • This effect may stem from prolonged kidney irritation caused by terpinene-4-ol or by tur pentine oil contamination ofjuniper products.
Caution Against Using Alcohol While Taking Juniper
Recommend that patient seek medical diagnosis before taking juniper. Unadvised use of juniper could worsen urinary problems, bronchitis, GI disorders, and other conditions if medical diagnosis and proper treatment are delayed. After many hopeless endeavors to produce something worthwhile on Bronchitis, this is what we have come up with. We are very hopeful about this!
