Gin is already an old acquaintance, but lately it is more popular than ever. When gin was created, it was used as a remedy for kidney ailments, as its main ingredient is juniper, a berry that has powerful benefits for kidney health. Over time, because of its flavor, the drink ceased to be a medicine and began to be consumed in drinks.
