Nature Hike at An American Homestead
As I've mentioned before we spent over a week on @mericanhomestead learning and fellowshipping. We had a BLAST! The day before we had to leave @mericanhomestead took us on a nature walk to look for some "treasures" on his property. Of course, I was super excited to find Juniper Berry trees. So excited that, in fact, our departure the next day was delayed by at least an hour so that my husband could dig up a few small trees and I could gather a baggie of berries for a tincture. Totally worth it, although my husband may disagree as he is the one who will be digging the holes to plant these new additions to our farm!
If you aren't familiar with the medicinal benefits of Juniper berries Dr. Axe does a good job in this article explaining the many benefits.

I believe it is always wise when we have the opportunity to add medicinal herbs to our property that we do what we can to make it happen, especially when it is free to do so. We never know what may happen down the road and having a backyard pharmacy never hurts!
And I couldn't help but post this picture of this incredible praying mantis.

A lot of folks, here in Ohio, have Juniper planted as bushes at their houses.
Love your lil praying mantis pal.
I'm excited about the Juniper!!!
Amazing
Can you upvote my post
Already did! :)
Not that dude my wall post??
Have you gotten your tincture started yet? I can't wait for mine to be done. I always use juniper berry for urinary health but did not realize it was good for the skin. Thanks for sharing that article, it was really informative!
I haven't started it yet. My leaves are laying on a napkin "drying" until I can get around to it. Still unpacking!
