Abxal - juniper berries

Essence.
These are the fruits of mountain juniper. They are similar to hawthorn fruits, but only blacker, and have a sharp, pleasant smell. The tree itself comes in two types:  one of them has leaves like a cypress and many thorns, and the trunk is broad and low; on the other there are leaves like tamarisk, but the taste of the fruit is like that of cypress, and this type is drier and less hot. If you take twice as much Chinese cinnamon as juniper, it will replace it.

Choice.
The best juniper berries are those with the strongest scent.

Nature.
Some doctors say:  hot, dry to the third degree.

Actions and properties.
Juniper berries are highly dilutable; They have the inherent property of drying and, moreover, burning. They have a hidden ability to bind, and they are included in warming and aromatic oils, and most often in oil with grape must.

Wounds and ulcers.
A powder of juniper berries with honey helps against corrosive and putrefactive ulcers and prevents the spread of creeping and black ulcers. Juniper berries are sometimes used for medicinal dressings, but they do not heal wounds due to their pungency, great warmth and dryness, but only dry.

Organs of the head.
If you boil juniper berries in sesame oil in an iron ladle until they turn black and put this medicine in your ears, it will greatly help against deafness.

Eruption organs.
If you drink an infusion of juniper berries, it makes you urinate blood and expels the fetus. If you introduce it in the form of a candle or fumigate it, it will have the same effect.
