Juniper was also used to fumigate rooms where one had been sick,
especially with a communicable disease.

Berries internally, either for a cough or for a simple 'breath mint'.

Juniper can cause skin rash some people are allergic.

Juniper shrub

A juniper by the door
was thought to keep witches away.

Juniper trees have contributed to the making
of everything from soaps to perfume.

When I was about 12 or so I met my best friends
grandmother who was Cree, she made my grandmother
some cough medicine from the juniper clippings
she took from our yard.
My grandmother used the medicine and it realy did help.
