I get this question a lot! I created a video about it and you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/T9g0p04SZfE/v-deo.html It should answer all your questions. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching! And for sharing another alternative for fermenting.

You are most welcome!

Unfortunately due to regulations put forth by both Health Canada and Meta (who owns UA-cam) I am not able to provide any specific medical advice or dosing outside of my herbal clinic or education platform setting. My apologies. I hope with a bit of research you can find the answer you are looking for.

This is a beautiful point and it will be something that I remember when I have students/clients who have similar questions about the alcohol consumption. Its such a small amount! You are correct. But I also think there is something to be said about intention behind the alcohol consumption. With tinctures, the intention is to help support and heal your body which I feel goes a long way towards your body accepting it. If that makes sense.

If I interpret your question correctly, you want to use dried heal-all that you harvested last year to make tincture? Personally I wouldn't Dried herbs have a shelf life of one years tops and since you are approaching that mark, it would not be the most potent medicine. If you can forage for new heal-all and make tincture from the fresh herb that will be your most potent end product. Hope that helps!

@@SpiraeaHerbs thank you so much!

Yep that will work just fine!

You could. I personally don't because I prefer to connect with the plant while making medicine and manually chopping makes that easier. But lots of people use food processors. You just need to be careful not to pulverize the plant material into a paste :)

Yes I've heard this too! Thanks for sharing.

You are most welcome. Thank you for you kind comments and welcome to the channel.

Welcome to the channel!

Do you make a bug spray with it or just have it growing around?

To each their own. I was simply pointing out how old this particular species of plant was. If you do not believe that dinosaurs existed that is absolutely your right. It does not negate the validity of the medicinal information I shared.

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching.

I'm sure they do, but I wait until its flowering so I can a complete profile of medicinal benefits from both leaf and flower.

I would wait until early in its flowering period. That is when you get the most complete medicinal profile. Discard the main stalk in making your medicines as it is mostly fibre :) Good luck!

No you want that in your end product! I shake well and press. And then I make sure that I shake the bottle well before I use it in tincture formulations. Hope that helps!

Teas are not my favourite way to consume herbs, but yes you can. I also can't quite remember what I made in this video as it was so long ago. Lol

Outside of a clinical setting I am not able to give and specifics for any conditions or treatment protocol as per Meta and Health Canada regulations. I am sorry! Wish I could be of more help. What I can say is that herbalism is slow medicine and with less potent forms like tea, you will likely need to drink it for at least a few months before you will see any benefits. This will also depend on how long you have had the chronic condition for.

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

Never shaved her legs baby!! Lol. Glad I could help.

I personally do not wash my herbs. The time it takes for them to dry means they are wilted and lose potency during that time. I will allow them to sit for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board to allow any bugs to crawl out though. I am also very careful about where I harvest from ensuring no sprays have been used.

@@SpiraeaHerbs Thank you.

@@user-jw7ze5ef7s You are most welcome!

Thank you so much and welcome!

Oh I love chive butter as well! How are you using it?

Greetings and welcome!! Thanks for watching.

Thank you! That was one of my goals in creating it. The inviting energy was really important to me so I appreciate you saying that.

@@SpiraeaHerbs Your garden has given me such inspiration for the blank slate that surrounds our house. Sadly the grass that was planted some 50 years ago is a devil to remove, but when I have an plan, I get it done and your yard is such an inspiration.

You are most welcome! We've loved all of our herb spirals.

Thanks for watching!

I love flower essences. Some of the most profound healing I've seen is from their use on helping to shift subtle emotional states. I have an entire module in my membership platform on all of the Bach flower remedies including how to conduct a consultation. Might be good resource for you!

@@SpiraeaHerbs awesome I may check as well check it out 😊

Thank you!

Agreed! It's what takes it to the next level in my opinion.

You are most welcome!

Do you infuse it in oil and apply it that way?

I just threw a handful of fresh flowers in my yeti, steeped me a cupful and sipped on it through the day. I spent the day at the car show...a lot of time outside in a tank top. No burning or itching or rash.

@@wendysmith967 Very cool! Thanks for sharing that experience. So valuable for those we read the comments.

I will be fully transparent and say that I don't know. I would have to research it, but in terms of logical thinking, berries that are red, black and purple all contain anthocyanins. polyphenols and all those beautiful things we are after. If I had to guess, I would say they would be similar.

@@SpiraeaHerbs thanks

@@peterheyes8552 Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but hopefully with a bit of research you can find what you are looking for. Good luck.

Wonderful! It's a staple in our house.

Happy to share it! Thanks for watching.

You are most welcome! Thank you for watching.

I love teaching about flower essences! I have a full module on it in my membership platform. Share the word of this beautiful medicine.

@@SpiraeaHerbs yes I will ❤️lovely

Nope! Completely different plant. Look up photos of Prunella vulgaris (the botanical name) and you'll see the differences in the plant.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment.

I strain them out!

Good combination!

I've never heard it referred to as bone knit. That is a common name for a different plant here.

Along with comfrey you would have an amazing fertilizer combination!! I wasn't aware it had such strong anti-fungal properties. I'd never thought to use it that way. Thank you for sharing.
