Medicinally, Juniperus Communis was used to treat arthritis, bruises, ulcers, wounds, eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis through poultices, massage oils, and bath products. Juniper oil baths relieve water retention and slim the body while detoxifying.

The vapors were used to relieve colds, coughs, and headaches. A tea infusion was considered cleansing to the system.
