I actually just read that it might be better to use garlic oil rather than a garlic tincture... that way, the oil will buffer the heat in the garlic.

Yes, I was actually just going to say that I would not put a garlic tincture in my ear. Ear infections are often caused secondary to a respiratory infection so it would benefit the ear to take the garlic tincture by mouth to fight the infection that way. Many people use a garlic oil for ear pain but make sure to do your research because it can't be made like a standard oil infusion that sits on heat for 6 weeks, needs to be a quick infusion and refrigerated for safety.

😂😂😂😂😂

Yay! You're welcome! Enjoy that beautiful gift!

Since they are pretty firm it could be as long as an hour honestly.

You're welcome 🤗

This is fabulous information, thank you so much for taking the time to articulate it, this will be very helpful to comment readers! I did have two 24 hour urine tests taken only 30 days apart and the second one was 253.5 so nearly the same as the first, it's likely that my diet is relatively consistent. I'll be quite curious to see my next results this coming January to see if that bears out. One of the reasons I've never recommended oral iodine tincture as supplementation is due to the risk of thyroid injury. Too much of a good thing can definitely be a bad thing.

Yes Sir!

Great question! Stems, leaves and flowers are all edible! If it's flowering though, just watch out for the seed pods 😂 those will be uncomfortably crunchy. The seeds are super tiny too, they look a bit like poppy seeds.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead thank you! I have SO much growing, I may make a tincture too. I’m in zone 8a and it grows in abundance here. Thank you for sharing this!

@@shae6336 You're welcome! Purslane tincture is AMAZING! I'm glad you commented today because I actually need to dry some more and now is the time to get out there and get it if I want it this year! So thank YOU for the reminder! :)

My doctor is an Integrative Medicine Physician. By that, I mean she's an MD but her focus is also on the mind, body and spirit as a whole. She doesn't just try to mask symptoms but rather get to the root cause. I would start by looking for a local Integrative Physician and see if that's a better fit than a naturopath. I hope you find a great one!

Hi! You're correct that many herbalists say 80 proof vodka is totally fine and they are probably correct. I only use 100 proof vodka for my fresh herb tinctures to ensure that the water content of the herbs doesn't over dilute the tincture. There are some roots and resins that require a higher proof. For ginger and most other high water content herbs I exclusively use 100 proof vodka. I don't think you need to worry too much about using 80 proof for your personal use tinctures especially if you only fill the jar halfway with herbs and fill the jar completely with vodka. It's not necessary to burp the tincture jars but if for any reason the level of vodka drops below the top of the herbs make sure to top it off. I use the amber colored jars for storage because that's the easiest and least expensive option for me. I also store them in a dark closet. When I'm making them however, I use clear mason jars and also store them in a dark closet. Any colored jar that protects against light is a good option for long term storage so I would say get the colored jars that make you happy but still store them in the dark. As far as how many 1 ounce bottles you can get from a ginger tincture, that really depends on how much ginger is in the jar. Ginger is super dense so if you fill a quart jar halfway with chopped ginger and all the way to the tippy top of the jar with vodka you can expect to get between 16 and 18 ounces of finished tincture. I know you didn't ask but here's an extra tip; when you finish your tincture and are getting ready to store it for use I recommend buying a 32 ounce dark colored jar with a phenolic lid to keep it in. This will prevent the alcohol from evaporating before you get the chance to use all the product. Of course, if you're going to use it all right away within 3 months you can fill your 1 ounce jars and skip my suggestion. I store all my tinctures in these bottles and just fill 1 or 2 ounce bottles as orders come in or if I need some in my medicine cabinet. I hope this information is helpful! Please let me know if you have any other questions and congratulations on taking your healthcare into your own hands!

Great question, yikes I sure hope not!!!! It's Morton Iodized Sea Salt.

That yes and Iodized salt. Couldn't be more simple (for me).

Yes! You're spot on! So amazing that you're harvesting your own!!!! Even though I shared all this information in the comments of my last iodine video, lots of folks were asking for an update so here I am 😂!

You are amazing!!!

I believe whole heartedly in castor oil packs!

Thank you but we both know GOD is amazing 🤩

You're welcome!!! 😀

Oh my goodness you're totally right!!!! Just went out and rubbed a bit of the plant and it smells so much like oregano!!!! And maybe a little bit like basil too!

Yay!!! Enjoy those delicious peaches! ❤️

As I always say the most accurate iodine testing is a 24 hour urine test or a blood test.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead Which apparently is next for me :O)

That's what I did too, it's way more accurate and can really hone in on what action needs to be taken if anything. For me, adding iodized salt and seaweed got my levels back up in months. But others have needed to take a concentrated tincture.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead 2 years carnivore...Medicare starts in 1 month, then I can see a real doctor...of MY choice...that I don't have to teach about carnivore, hopefully :O)

Do you think you may have an iodine deficiency even with the carnivore lifestyle? I'm not full carnivore, I still eat fruits and vegetables. What positive changes have you seen since you switched?

You're welcome!! 🤗

Thank you! I grew less so I'm planning to pickle them all. Jalapeno jelly sounds like a great idea for next year!

But of course!

😂 I've been meaning to do that! Thank you for the reminder! It's supposed to be almond flour 😂😂

You're welcome!

Absolutely! I've been grieving a family loss this week but it's definitely on my radar to do an update on this one for you all!

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead I've had everyone in my family do this test, and the students in my class all wanted to do it last week as well.

What kind of results did you all get? I'm planning to dive into my medical records this week and do an in depth video update, not only on how I healed from my iodine deficiency with dates and what I used but I will be lumping in my thyroid nodules too and how I healed those.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead Mine disappeared within a few hours, but everyone in my family and the students in my class all varied. Interestingly, a few students who were consuming high iodine foods had their iodine patches last almost the entire 24 hour period. There definitely was a correlation.

What a fun and safe experiment to do with your students! Thank you for telling me how it went!

You're very welcome! Enjoy your soup! ❤️

Such a great question! For one they have different colored flowers usually. Although it's possible for mugwort and wormwood to both have yellow flowers it's just the wormwood that is always yellow, whereas mugwort flowers are white (but can be red and occasionally yellow). Most significantly wormwood makes Absinthe! Wormwood grows much smaller, three feet tall as opposed to 6 feet tall and wormwood is silver on both sides of the leaf whereas mugwort is silver on the bottom and green on the top. They are both highly medicinal, beautiful herbs!

Definitely been hearing that in the comments!

It's my recipe and it makes the most perfect and beautiful hash browns without preservatives and browning you will get with grated raw potatoes that you try to freeze for later. If it's a hassle I'm confident you will find an easier way to do it, that's the beauty of UA-cam but I promise you won't be disappointed with my recipe if you try it this way most especially if you plan to batch cook them and freeze for later use.

So how do you know no one else is baking them did you ask everyone else if they were

You're welcome! Enjoy! 😊

Thank you! You're welcome! 😊

You're so welcome! 🤗

It's definitely going to be a shocking video! I'll be talking a lot about hair loss

It would be so great to get together!!!! We're already friends but I know we'd have SO MUCH fun together in person!

That's going to be a VULNERABLE video! Information but vulnerable.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead now I am really intrigued!!!!! Can't wait!

Thank you!!! 😊

Yes it does, I promise. This update video I made will help. 😊ua-cam.com/video/O1U-_R_sA2w/v-deo.htmlsi=mpkWhrkzftUsiCk7

Oh they get HUGE when planted in the ground. In a pot they only grow so big.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead thank you for the insight. Will you do anything special to the beds to prepare them for next season? Besides rebuilding them that is.

I'll add compost in March like I usually do, that's all I have planned!

Hi! You're welcome! I retest once a year now but when I had the iodine and sodium deficiency at the time I filmed this video, I tested every 6 months.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead ok.. Cool.. Merci

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead bonjour.. How did you find out the you where low on sodium.. Merci

When I first noticed the growth on my thyroid I went to see my doctor and requested a full panel of blood tests including vitamins and minerals. My sodium was extremely low as was my B-12. It took a few more months before I was able to convince my doctor to order the iodine test because he was under the mistaken impression that modern day people don't have iodine deficiencies anymore. Needless to say I fired that doctor and now have a new one that takes my health seriously!

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead yes... I understand.. Merci

16 1/4 cups sugar for a 5 gallon batch. The complete recipe is down in the description box too if you want to check out the ingredients and measurements, just multiply for how many gallons you want to make 😊

Thank you so much! And yes I'm much better now! Thank you for the book recommendation!!!

That's how I can mine only because it makes it a bit more versatile for my tastes. I add cinnamon or cardamom as I serve but it also works great in breads and cakes where I won't want any extra flavors ❤️

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead OK Kool thx

Welcome!

😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much! Yes! Please get a Chinois, with the stick that goes inside! These are so amazing for straining grapes, it's actually what I use for Concord grapes because the KitchenAid will break if you run those through the attachment. www.ruralking.com/norpro-stainless-steel-chinois-with-stand-and-pestle-set-642

I am having trouble finding the Pomona pectin you suggest. The only place I can find it is online and I really don’t have time to wait for it to be delivered. The sure-gel that every store seems to have, shows how much to use per quart of fruit, rather than per cup. Would I measure that type of pectin in the same way that you measure the Pomona pectin? Thank you so much.

@JillyRN1 Hi! I wouldn't use the Pomona directions for sure gel. Their directions on the box should work perfectly. Are you using sugar or honey for your recipe?

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead the Sure Jell pectin box says to use one box for 2 quarts of fruit. I’m using the juice from the fruit so how do I know how much that is? And yes, I am using sugar. I have been to every single store that sells canning supplies within a 15 mile radius and I cannot find the pomobb no a pectin, to save my life. I have no clue how much of this to use. Ugh!

@JillyRN1 Great question! Okay so your juice equals the fruit, what you'll want to do is measure how many cups of juice you have then add one box of sure gel for every 8 cups of juice. And I'm glad you're using sugar because honey doesn't set up as well with sure gel. Is this helpful? Please let me know if you need any clarification or have any other questions!

I'm planning to give all my hyssop a haircut this Sunday and then I'm going to dehydrate it!

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead me too!!!!!!!

Yay!! You're welcome!

I would be cautious with the numbing, although it has pain reducing qualities, I would be concerned you may have an allergy. Did it make your mouth sore at all? From my experience it doesn't numb my mouth when I eat it. And yes that flavor is normal, it's chalk full of vitamins and minerals. 😊

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead It wasn’t uncomfortable, just noticeable. I only tried it once, so I’ll do another small taste test before I jump right in. Thanks for answering me so quickly. I love your channel. I have a channel too. My videos are or rapture dreams and dreams given to me by Jesus. Anyway, thanks again and God bless you.

You're welcome thank you so much! You could do a skin test too, scratch your inner arm and put some of the plant juice on it. If it hives up, you know you're sensitive to it. I'd love to check out your channel can you please post a link to it here?

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead ua-cam.com/video/vtIjEUMCisM/v-deo.htmlsi=OfNvG87hbZFMfQ7q This is my most recent one. Yes, I will do the skin test.

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead I tried to post my last video but I don’t see it here anywhere. My channel name is Diane Jones Wolford.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm pretty wordy in general and I sweat over that balance between giving sufficient information and not being annoying 😂

@@HappyAppleCoreHomestead Many cooking videos show every second, every slice, etc. which isn't necessary and makes the videos too long and I bale on those! Your video was perfect!

Thank you so much!!!!! 😊

Wonderful 😊
