In fact several recipes, written on papyrus, and dating from 1550 B.C. still exist today. </div> <bR> <div> Throughout the ages Juniper has also played a vital role in the ritual cleansing and purification rites in temples. </div> <div> In Europe it was a popular cure-all. Herbalists used it to treat a wide variety of complaints from typhoid and cholera to tapeworms. </div> <bR> <div> Juniper is perhaps most famous for the distinctive spicy-sweet flavor that it adds to gin. This was all due to an error made by a Dutch pharmacist who, in attempting to make a diuretic, created gin. The word 'gin' comes from the Dutch word for Juniper which is 'geniver'.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="431" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF HEIGHT= 117 WIDTH="421"><div> Disclaimer: The information presented is for information purposes only.
