Do you first thoroughly dry the juniper berries?

I can’t recall what the recipe callas for. That would make sense in that most recipes use dried herbs or other dried items. Sorry I could not answer directly. :)

I need to try this as my most recent malady of skin unhappiness is caused by my Viking forefathers cavorting with Irish lassies. Those two bloodlines were never intended to be mixed. For application, is it for ingestion or general skin application?

Application. One thing I love to clean pores out is Dead Sea Salt. It exfoliates the skin like crazy and all the excess is washed away. After washing my face, I run some warm water in the sink and create a light paste and lightly go in circles around your face. Be sure to rinse off good. It won’t clear away what is exising but if will keep your face clear once everything clears up. How are you and Tiger Mom doing otherwise?

Thank you M. Tiger Mom is doing well. I have been a very sick curmudgeon. The old jalopy is finally giving up. I am in need of a remodel with lots of new parts. Sadly, they don’t sell what I need on Amazon.

Is it your past catching up with you or older age? How old are you now?

It sneaks up on you. I’m still trying to do all the things I did at 60 and it’s not working out so good for me. I need an attitude adjustment and I think the first two months of 2025 have sledge hammered that concept into my pea brain.

I’m about to drop my plate. It’s too full. I see two doctors a day at opposite ends of the city, I’ve had X’rays, MRIs, ultrasound, and a ton of blood work. My arms are black and blue from all the needles. They are all amazed I’m still walking around with a body temperature above ambient air. There is no scientific explanation from me still being alive. I tell them it’s because I’m hard headed and stiff necked and don’t die until I’m good and ready. Now that’s will power!

Have you been outside where ticks could be? I ask that because so many people with Tick Borne Illnesses have so many different symptoms but the doctors can’t reach a diagnosis. Do you have any help for Tiger Mom? Long term stress can take a huge toll as well. I want you to live long with a full life not misery. :)

I agree with you 😉. Thankfully, no tick bites in decades. I’m very careful of bugs and stay out of areas known to have tick activity. We have had tickdemic in Alabama for a couple of years. It seems almost all of my problems branch from Kidney failure. It’s a lot like diabetes, you slowly develop other critical illnesses from the diabetes and usually you are taken out by the secondary illnesses instead of simply having trouble with insulin and blood sugar. Poor kidney function affects every organ in the body. The kidneys play a major roll in blood production and blood pressure as well as cleansing the blood. The kidneys also control the stress response hormones. Anytime they begin to falter, you develop multi-symptom and multi-organ failure. I’m there now. Tiger Mom’s back-up plan is our oldest daughter who promises she will find a cheap nursing home for her. Hopefully it will be one that keeps her sedated so she won’t wander around causing trouble.

The water is life. Keeping your cortisol levels as low as possible is self control and there are many foods and supplements that also reduce cortisol. Day to Day is the best we can do, I believe.

There are products that may work much faster. On Amazon and
