Juniper not only has the use of ornamental and building materials, but also has a role that few people know is to make medicine to cure people's diseases. Let me introduce it to you!
The Sabina officinalis mainly belongs to lung meridians. It tastes bitter, but it has a warm nature. There are only three parts that can be used as medicinal materials: branches, leaves and bark. The rest are not allowed. Indications: cold, tuberculosis, urinary tract infection, external use in urticaria, rheumatoid arthritis
But juniper is also toxic, but the toxicity is relatively small, so don't use it for medicine without permission. You must go to the hospital and ask the doctor for the specific use method, or you will regret what happened.
Because of its hard material, strong corrosion resistance and light fragrance, juniper is suitable for furniture, building materials, pencils and log furniture. But because its growth rate is slow, grow into a big tree at least a few decades generally, so it is seldom used for large-scale planting and making furniture.
When juniper is young, its crown is round, and it looks beautiful as a whole. As an adult, the trunk and branches of the tree are twisted, and the posture is ancient. It can be a landscape by itself, and the juniper can be cut once for a long time, and the shade is very cool, so it is better to be used as a fence than some other cypresses, and it is evergreen in four seasons. Therefore, juniper has always been a common garden tree in China.
The history of juniper can be traced back to BC. At that time, it was called "juniper". Thousands of years ago, there were many juniper in some places. Among them, there was a country named after juniper. In the later dynasties, juniper was especially loved by people, and some people praised it by metaphor. It can be seen that juniper has always been popular.
