@@Herbal_Jedi also very much how I feel! Unfortunately no captions and this video seemed like it could have been really interesting, kind of up my alley. Just wish I could have caught it all.
My great aunt had beautiful teeth. As a child I was impressed enough to ask how she took care of her (70 year old) teeth. She said willow bark toothpicks.
I use willow instead of hormone rooting compound .Cut green willow wands into small pieces place in hot water leave tea to draw the longer the stronger it gets. It is good for hard to root plants place plant stems in the tea and wait for roots also good as root tonic. Great channel.
I live on a wetland and love-- and weave with-- willow. My weaving teacher said the time test for peeling-- 'stripping'-- the willow (to make white rods) is when the emerging leaves are the size of a mouse's ear. This is when the sap is running such that one needs only to skritch and pick loose the bark at the bottom of a cut rod and pull it up and off! Before or after this window works, with varying results, but it is very slick and satisfying to catch it at that time and be able to quickly strip the rods with comparatively little effort. Thank you for this, and all your educational and inspiring videos.
@@dorin9064 I don't have the answer, but as I read your question it occurred to me that the way to do it might be to, put willow whips into water and keep it topped up and let it root. This will mean that the water itself must be full of a rooting hormone. Then use that water to start off a rooting process for other things. I think I shall try it like that.
@@dorin9064 My wife roots cuttings from many plants by putting them in potting soil an then covering it up with a 2 liter bottle cut in half and putting it in the sun. Like a terrarium. Perhaps that would work on trees as well. Takes about two weeks. I presume the soil would have to be wetter than normal since that is the environment it prefers. Let me know if you have any success.
We like willow very much, made a sort of mistake in bring some home, actually my husband made 2 very nice chairs from some, the mistake came when I put some small cuttings in our yard, we now have a small forest of sandbar willow.
Haha, yeah. Willow propagates like no other. If you wanted to propagate other plants to add to your "new medicinal garden", you can actually take a few cuttings and put them in water, let it sit for a few days to a week. The natural rooting hormone from the plant will leach into the water, which you can then use as a rooting serum to start any other plant or herb that you want to propagate.
@@christensixkiller9836 Interesting, I need to remember that. I have some kind of Willow tree taking over my pond. Now I can't see the wildlife that often comes there. I don't know how to get rid of it all. Having just one was nice.
I Am of the Willow tribe as well. I was many years unaware of it but always felt a Willow when near one or even seeing an image. Thank you for teaching me of its medicine and power! Be WELL!
You should have a white jacket on and call yourself ‘Dr. of the Land’! Seriously, your vocabulary and knowledge of herbs is astounding! Thank you for all your studying and keeping us safe with what herbs to use and let herbs to stay away from.
As a child, I was very drawn to the willow growing along the waters edge in Big Bear Lake California. While listening to you describe it, I could actually smell the willows from back in those days.. yes very destictive smell now I understand why! I just had to start eating aspirin everyday (due to back pain) for the first time in my Life so it's great to learn about this and how to make tincture.. thank you so much for creating & sharing this information
I love how you make the process look so easy. Thank you for presenting everything on the field to help with identification and explaining uses in such an easy to understand manner. Thank you for respecting and honoring our plant relatives as well. Your teaching is so much appreciated.
Pussy Willow is traditionally used in floral displays during the Lunar New Year in East Asia. What I didn't know is the Pussy Willow has Salicin in them. Rather than dump them out at the end of new year celebrations, I will now instead, strip the bark, dry it and keep it for emergency pain relief. Thanks for the tip, mate!
I just made a tea with the fresh bark and leaves of a local carolina willow. I can definitely feel the medical properties of this herb. Im getting a sedative feeling. I can tell that this is a powerful plant that should be respected.
Wow!! Since I bought a little piece of land in the country last spring I fell in love with willow. I have not yet tried it as medicime but encountered it as a powerful plant spirit that has many lessons for us humans. Hearing you talk about it in such a beautiful way really brightened my day. Thank you willow-tribe brother. May we all be blessed with sweet medicine from this ancient plant teacher. 🌓
I am FNMI & I find your videos very nice, you speak in a calm & respectful way, not those text to speech devices, not bright flashy energy going for views, just someone in the woods talking about something they know
Another great video I love how you really see the essence of the herb you are talking about. Its so enlightening and means you share the hidden wonder of plant medicine to your viewers😊
thank you for this video its very informative , and we all need to take back our power to heal ourselfs , luckily ive took my power back a very long time ago and more healthy now as when i was going to pharmacy ,,,
We've always had it, we just got disconnected and put our trust in others instead of remaining self sufficient. Our grandparents and great grandparents knew all of this information. They all helped out at home and learned from their elders. They could grow and cook food everything from scratch. These days everyone is too busy WORKING outside the home to be growing their food, and very few cook their own food, it's mainly take out and frozen. Most people don't have time to teach their children these life skills that have been lost. But thankfully one good thing that has come out of the pandemic it that people have finally started realizing how helpless they really are when it comes to cooking, baking and growing their foods. Huge Wake Up!! Plus how difficult it was to teach the kids. We kids used to have no problem with learning from our parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents. We were much better at knowing the value of their knowledge. Kids these days think that why listen to and adult about how to do something when they can go online and learn . Great but they barely use the internet for knowledge. It's mainly games, social media, and videos not about knowledgeable subjects either. ✌❤🇨🇦🐈
Thank you for sharing your amazing wisdom of nature and how we can harvest medicinal plants. One of my favourite channels. You are delightful to watch.
You're such a beautiful person Yarrow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, always with humility and deep respect for our plant allies. Happy Saint Patrick's Day too! ☘️
Your videos rock! I live and work on an organic farm in Maine.Many of the plants you show I also forage for.A few I’d never heard of until I watched your videos.
Thanks for the brilliant video yarrow. I have planted willow on my land as a living fence to keep the horse's in. I now use it for baskets and a root powder for rooting other plants. I have always felt it a waist to burn or compost the tops. Now I can truly use all the cut stems.
@YarrowWillard, that was absolutely beautiful! I love the fact that you know your Angeles (plants) so well. Incredible, informative, relaxing, peaceful... 😎📚 Im thankful for your time spent preparing and producing these beautiful videos. Thank you. Q: What are your thoughts on ASTRO - homeopathy?
It also is amazing at just growing, you can take a branch..... stick it in the ground and it will make a tree quite quickly. You can also make a cloning solution ( make a tea ) to dip plant starts in to and gives a good boost to the plants in the root making process:) it’s just a amazing
I tend to turn to prickly wild lettuce and Indian pipe for my pain medicine, both work well. I will be watching this video again and learning more about the willow bark. Thank you for sharing this information and insight.
If you remove the inflammatory plant foods like seed oils and grains and up antioxidant rich foods high in collagen like fatty beef you can heal the inflammation and provide the body the tools to repair. Not to mention it's full of antioxidants.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video! I appreciated it! I just had a breakthrough, and I meditated and journal and I was the willow tree, and so many things came to me that you spoke about as a beautiful confirmation, for what spirit was sharing with me. The flexibility, the medicinal purposes, the strands, the versatility, the grace of the willow tree. But I learned even more listening to you and I appreciate it.🙏🏾✨🙌🏾🌱💚😌
I just love this guy. Enjoy every lesson you give. I use white willow all the time. I am going to harvest my own next spring. I'm harvesting Heal all right now. Lol just saw that tutorial last week. Keep up the great work. Stay happy and safe ,Mr Herbal Jedi 💕
Thanks a bunch Yarrow for the Informative video! I don't personally get sick, sore or injured very much or at all, so often others are my Guage at what works and what does not for what is needed. You tasting the bark, smelling Lemon barm etc helps me thanks!
already aware of it's nice quality's , but, thank you, great video on the subject ....have been an arborist for over 40 years ,i love the trees all around us ....thanks again ...p s you can also use it as a rooting compound for starting plants and clone cuttings .
@@Herbal_Jedi there are a few ways to go about making the rooting compound , one you can tap a willow like a maple and draw sap , let sap evaporate for a few days in a dry place , put cuttings in sand water with 50 % solution of willow sap to water , keep sand moist with solution for 10 to 14 days , plants should root just fine second way is to make a tea with a bunch of willow sticks , soak for three days in closed mason jar in window after three days should be ready to go . use same way as first method or you can root the plant right in the water . willow is an amazing tree and has been a big part of healing and craft work over thousands of years thank you for talking about such a great tree , love and respect, have a great day ...
I grew up Lin Massachusetts looking forward every year to the pussy willow buds showing up. The forsythia bloomed around that time as well. I have taken white willow in the capsules in the past for pain ( was a horse trainer), and shared my limited knowledge about it with others. You add a whole different dimension on the willow plant. I now live in an apartment in San Diego. Worrying about fires because I’m next to a canyon ( although very green and beautiful) , hasn’t burned in over on hundred years. Wish I was there. Glad to see a young family man like you look at this beautiful earth and really see how we are so deeply connected to it.
Thanks for this info...always love your videos...could you do one on wildcrafting and how to be responsible for next years growth. People in my area have been hacking down everything and destroying the plants.
Love your vids, man. Thanks for all the lessons, stories, feels like foraging with Grandma again. Heck ,even had a lot of herbal discussions with hutterites around here, mostly trying to get the German and English names sorted. Then out come the herb books, great things to know when you need em, also more gentle than drug store variaties.
i live in the prairie and i go sometime to get willow wood to make arrow for bow,, where i get them they grow alone in the middle of a farming field, the patch is about 10 meter in circumference ,and the tip of the branch are all eaten by deers and maybe mooses, ,anyway what i want to say is how much i enjoy watching the intricate weaving and interspecies relation and cooperation ,like that cooperation with the willow and the deer,, the willow tell the deer where there is water, the willow will smell strong and make bud to attract deers in the spring ,, deer grows antler , by eating the willow they probably get relieve from some inflamation due to the growth.,making the deer more healty,,, the willow get nutrient from the poop and a trim of the branches which indeed keep the willow tight small and hardy and straight ,which is perfect for me to make arrow so that i can get deers meat in the fall .... nature is awesome beyond believe...
Another absolutely wonderful video, thank you Yarrow :) I understand the layers that Willow can help to balance. Willow was my best-loved early childhood plant, my go-to place, later superceded by a local species gum tree, but I miss having willows in my life. You mentioned that all species of willows contain Salicin in their bark. Does that mean that the Weeping Willow, Salix babylonica, my beloved 'weed' species that I can't grow but have always loved, can also be used for headaches or arthritis and fever ie as an aspirin replacement? Is any species known as a willow, in the genus Salix, that tastes of aspirin, useful for this? I'm sorry if I missed some comment relating to this.. I know you mentioned that the various species have different uses despite having the same chemistry :) Thank you so much for all that you do.. 🌹🌻❤️🌻🌹
Thanks, Yarrow. I developed some arthritic symptoms in my right hand at the beginning of the year and I have been just beside myself. I've always taken great care of my body and never ever expected this. I've been avoiding taking prescription drugs for whatever is going on and this latest video of yours gives me hope. I live in Savannah, Georgia and it's very marshy here, so I hope that I can find some willow that I can use. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for bringing your light and healing to the world. Much love from Savannah!
FedMara you will find willow there. Google some of your local willows and go for a wonder to see if you can ID any. Remember the catkins come out first in the Spring, they are an easy way to recognize it.
Despite a willow's need for water, we have so many of them (weeping-type only) planted here in Phoenix and the surrounding cities. They seem to hold up well with the heat.
I Love This ! #FUNFACT I'm A Pisces And Willow Trees Is A Pisces Tree Zodiac , After Seeing This I See How So In So Many Ways We Are Compatible With The Willow Tree & Plants.
@@Herbal_Jedi PAIN? Wish I could have caught that for sure! Desperately need something for pain. I watched your wild lettuce video but you didn't really show much of it so I could identify it... But still on a mission to find something I've just been diagnosed with.
Hello my friend there must be a a clear connection between the friends of the land, I just posted about willow and its medicine just yesterday. Safe Journeys
So as soon as I saw the beginning and you were talking about the Willow Bark well willow tree is my absolute favorite since childhood and remains to be this day And as soon as I saw the plant I thought my God these look like pussy willow and the reason I know this is because as a child I had an outfit in on that jacket or pussy willows and it was my absolute favorite and I wasn’t sure why but I know that there’s a connection to everything and sound this is perfect for me. My love plants And trees started long ago Little did I know this life I would become a Health psychic in my childhood was bringing full of gardens that were full of food so in the last 13 years so much has happened that is taking me on this journey that led me to this last four years rent in service and I know that there’s a lot more to come I very much enjoy your shares and your passion Now as far as the calendar goes I am a Leo Son but I’m only 8° in on the first Deacon which means I’m more like previous sign which makes perfect sense because that’s cancer. And of course that’s water and then if you look at the remaining parts in my chart that are interesting I’m a Libra ascendant and libra moon in the 12th house The 12th House is the house of Pisces which is water I also have Scorpio leaving the 12th house. And stationed in first Neptune conjunct Neptune rules Pisces Scorpio is a water sign it’s the third water sign and there’s three of each. I have a lot of Scorpio in my chart. Interesting now because I was born a Leo which is a fire sign in my north node is also my Northstar and that’s a fire sign as well so it’s the baby beginnings in the teenager that’s how I see Leo In my north node we’re talking about the sixth house that is governed by Virgo And in that house I have Saturn and I have Chiron the wounded healer retrograde 3°. So your north node in those people who aren’t familiar and want to understand a little bit more about my comment will understand that that is the direction I am meant to go on this life each of the numbers are considered houses in each house is an aspect in your life which is perfect because for me if I had known this long ago I would’ve understood and I was meant to be in the field of health and career or my careerWould be in health For me with Chiron being present or conjunct I would realize that I would dare mini ones and I would have to kill them myself and of course nature has perfect medicine it is on adulterated by the human I misunderstood by science because it has so many benefits in so many Functions. The body knows precisely what to do with it even if we can’t fathom just how amazing they are I truly believe that animals have taught us much of what we know and of course our intuition For those who aren’t long into their journey with plant medicine start with the things that are growing around you I guarantee those are the things that your body needs and has communicated to nature and nature has responded with growing exactly what medicines you Require at this time it’s such a phenomenal relationship that we have I don’t think people can even grasp the depth and the beauty
the magic in the willow tree of my childhood was one of the little lights that kept me going in dark times. I'm getting cuttings of it soon! I can't wait to take a little clone with me wherever I go.
Willow seems to hit early this year 2021 in nor cal it is January and starting to sprout it's fuzzy buds. Speaking of the buds I was wondering if you were able to use the buds for a tea? I also didn't hear about the pink inner bark which is what I thought was the baby aspirin alike? I wanted to say thank you very much for all your lovely videos and invaluable information you share. I seem to be intuitively drawn to these plants must be from heritage ancestral traits but have lost the knowledge as to why, so these informative videos are extremely helpful and important to me so thank you for being you and doing what you do.
i have a ? about why the pine trees are dying in the area that you are harvesting willow and if there is some kind of problem there that could be hurting that ecosystem? How can we as novices know if there is a problem w/ our harvest areas??? tytyty
Hello Hherbal Jedi. I adore your videos. They are do infotrmative, understandable, and inspire me to try what you are talking about. Especially things like which type willow addresses which issues and where to find them and how to identify each. Do you have all this information written in a book?
My family and I discovered a marsh in our town that has several beneficial plants. We have to hike, but today we harvested some spearmint and made iced tea with it when we got home. Willow also grows in abundance at this location, so I'm trying to learn about willows. Native Americans used this location for food and medicine in the past.
When you mentioned "bioavailability", were you referring to the tinctures with alcohol or the power form? Amazing video, you speak with both knowledge and passion of this plant. My daugher and I will look for the willows in April. Thank you for the inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi. I’m soooo glad to have met you digitally! I’ve recently been diagnosed with Polymalagia Rheumatic. They want to treat me with Prednisone. I hate it and don’t want to use it. So I learned a bout white willow bark, and I made a tincture out of it. You mentioned not to use it long-term. I’m trying to get the inflammation down and also trying to lose excessive weight that I’ve been carrying that I feel is a contributing factor to everything that ails me! How long is too long to use this for inflammation? I think you would advance for your response.
I enjoy the holistic approach to the teachings here. The practical, natural and spiritual combined, the way it’s supposed to be.
Temple Tarot thanks.. that’s how I feel too.
@@Herbal_Jedi also very much how I feel! Unfortunately no captions and this video seemed like it could have been really interesting, kind of up my alley. Just wish I could have caught it all.

Do you have clue how she made them and use them???
I love your G'Aunt thank you for sharing that💯
Edit: We have lost so much knowledge with this generation gap!
Very true, they did that on purpose to make us dependent on the system.
My husband wanted me to tell you that the potato peeler worked great to skin the bark. Thanks for the great video!
thats cute 😊
I use willow instead of hormone rooting compound .Cut green willow wands into small pieces place in hot water leave tea to draw the longer the stronger it gets. It is good for hard to root plants place plant stems in the tea and wait for roots also good as root tonic. Great channel.
Tagged my daughter-in-laws, they are showing interest in natural medicine, so greatly appreciate this upload!

seeking more healing properties of narrow leaf willow,
I love how you teach the identification process first. Very helpful in identifying Thank you for your Awesome energy.
Thanks for this info...always love your videos...could you do one on wildcrafting and how to be responsible for next years growth. People in my area have been hacking down everything and destroying the plants.
May i please ask if this is New Hampshire or Vermont? Thank you for all your vital teachings.
Love your vids, man. Thanks for all the lessons, stories, feels like foraging with Grandma again. Heck ,even had a lot of herbal discussions with hutterites around here, mostly trying to get the German and English names sorted. Then out come the herb books, great things to know when you need em, also more gentle than drug store variaties.
I Love your "Love of Nature" You are awesome...!
They used willow bark tea all the time on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman to treat fever. She learned it from the Cheyenne. 🥰
i live in the prairie and i go sometime to get willow wood to make arrow for bow,, where i get them they grow alone in the middle of a farming field, the patch is about 10 meter in circumference ,and the tip of the branch are all eaten by deers and maybe mooses, ,anyway what i want to say is how much i enjoy watching the intricate weaving and interspecies relation and cooperation ,like that cooperation with the willow and the deer,, the willow tell the deer where there is water, the willow will smell strong and make bud to attract deers in the spring ,, deer grows antler , by eating the willow they probably get relieve from some inflamation due to the growth.,making the deer more healty,,, the willow get nutrient from the poop and a trim of the branches which indeed keep the willow tight small and hardy and straight ,which is perfect for me to make arrow so that i can get deers meat in the fall .... nature is awesome beyond believe...
Animals don't always metabolize plants like humans do.
Another absolutely wonderful video, thank you Yarrow :) I understand the layers that Willow can help to balance. Willow was my best-loved early childhood plant, my go-to place, later superceded by a local species gum tree, but I miss having willows in my life. You mentioned that all species of willows contain Salicin in their bark. Does that mean that the Weeping Willow, Salix babylonica, my beloved 'weed' species that I can't grow but have always loved, can also be used for headaches or arthritis and fever ie as an aspirin replacement? Is any species known as a willow, in the genus Salix, that tastes of aspirin, useful for this? I'm sorry if I missed some comment relating to this.. I know you mentioned that the various species have different uses despite having the same chemistry :) Thank you so much for all that you do.. 🌹🌻❤️🌻🌹
That's what I would like to know also
Thanks, Yarrow. I developed some arthritic symptoms in my right hand at the beginning of the year and I have been just beside myself. I've always taken great care of my body and never ever expected this. I've been avoiding taking prescription drugs for whatever is going on and this latest video of yours gives me hope. I live in Savannah, Georgia and it's very marshy here, so I hope that I can find some willow that I can use. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for bringing your light and healing to the world. Much love from Savannah!
FedMara you will find willow there. Google some of your local willows and go for a wonder to see if you can ID any. Remember the catkins come out first in the Spring, they are an easy way to recognize it.
Pls read Medical Medium by Anthony William, it will help with your arthritis and more
Despite a willow's need for water, we have so many of them (weeping-type only) planted here in Phoenix and the surrounding cities. They seem to hold up well with the heat.
Thank You for this presentation it was VERY HELPFUL
Congratulations for your video, your knowledge and enthusiasm about the nature. Thankyou very much
You truly ARE an Herbal Jedi!
I Love This ! #FUNFACT I'm A Pisces And Willow Trees Is A Pisces Tree Zodiac , After Seeing This I See How So In So Many Ways We Are Compatible With The Willow Tree & Plants.
Love the PAIN acronym! Stealing!
Mindful Maximalist it’s there to be shared.. :) I originally heard it from Jessi Elder.
@@Herbal_Jedi PAIN? Wish I could have caught that for sure! Desperately need something for pain. I watched your wild lettuce video but you didn't really show much of it so I could identify it... But still on a mission to find something I've just been diagnosed with.
I'm all for learning about about natural healing herbs and plants
Love this . Yarrow is such a wonderful Wizard 🧙♂️ Willow Tribe🌿
these videos are great! clear information and great production which really enhances and overwhelms the content
can you let the bark sit in rubbing alcohol for a few weeks, as a topical for arthritis on hands, or what's good for that ?
Excellent Information. Thank You.
i love the way you paint the signatures. im hooked!
Hello my friend there must be a a clear connection between the friends of the land, I just posted about willow and its medicine just yesterday. Safe Journeys
So as soon as I saw the beginning and you were talking about the Willow Bark well willow tree is my absolute favorite since childhood and remains to be this day
And as soon as I saw the plant I thought my God these look like pussy willow and the reason I know this is because as a child I had an outfit in on that jacket or pussy willows and it was my absolute favorite and I wasn’t sure why but I know that there’s a connection to everything and sound this is perfect for me. My love plants And trees started long ago
Little did I know this life I would become a Health psychic in my childhood was bringing full of gardens that were full of food so in the last 13 years so much has happened that is taking me on this journey that led me to this last four years rent in service and I know that there’s a lot more to come
I very much enjoy your shares and your passion
Now as far as the calendar goes I am a Leo Son but I’m only 8° in on the first Deacon which means I’m more like previous sign which makes perfect sense because that’s cancer. And of course that’s water and then if you look at the remaining parts in my chart that are interesting I’m a Libra ascendant and libra moon in the 12th house
The 12th House is the house of Pisces which is water
I also have Scorpio leaving the 12th house. And stationed in first Neptune conjunct Neptune rules Pisces Scorpio is a water sign it’s the third water sign and there’s three of each. I have a lot of Scorpio in my chart. Interesting now because I was born a Leo which is a fire sign in my north node is also my Northstar and that’s a fire sign as well so it’s the baby beginnings in the teenager that’s how I see Leo
In my north node we’re talking about the sixth house that is governed by Virgo And in that house I have Saturn and I have Chiron the wounded healer retrograde 3°. So your north node in those people who aren’t familiar and want to understand a little bit more about my comment will understand that that is the direction I am meant to go on this life each of the numbers are considered houses in each house is an aspect in your life which is perfect because for me if I had known this long ago I would’ve understood and I was meant to be in the field of health and career or my careerWould be in health For me with Chiron being present or conjunct I would realize that I would dare mini ones and I would have to kill them myself and of course nature has perfect medicine it is on adulterated by the human I misunderstood by science because it has so many benefits in so many Functions. The body knows precisely what to do with it even if we can’t fathom just how amazing they are
I truly believe that animals have taught us much of what we know and of course our intuition
For those who aren’t long into their journey with plant medicine start with the things that are growing around you I guarantee those are the things that your body needs and has communicated to nature and nature has responded with growing exactly what medicines you Require at this time it’s such a phenomenal relationship that we have I don’t think people can even grasp the depth and the beauty
How do you know so much about your astrology chard? I would like to know too.
👍👍Thank you 💞. Have you done a video on Slippery Elm? I hear there are many good uses for this also but do not know identification or how to use it.
This was a good video. Now I’m going to watch your others.
Such great energy and info. Thank You Yarrow!
Could you infuse willow bark into oil for making topicals?
Thank you and blessings to you for sharing your wisdom so beautifully and freely
Thank you! I just love the wisdom that you share ❤️ you are inspiring me to remember my willow roots
I enjoy your videos very much, thanks for the great content.
You have an EXCEPTIONAL ability to communicate! What a gem. Thanks my brutha!
very nourishing videos. both in knowledge and energy
the magic in the willow tree of my childhood was one of the little lights that kept me going in dark times. I'm getting cuttings of it soon! I can't wait to take a little clone with me wherever I go.
this video is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you
Willow seems to hit early this year 2021 in nor cal it is January and starting to sprout it's fuzzy buds. Speaking of the buds I was wondering if you were able to use the buds for a tea? I also didn't hear about the pink inner bark which is what I thought was the baby aspirin alike? I wanted to say thank you very much for all your lovely videos and invaluable information you share. I seem to be intuitively drawn to these plants must be from heritage ancestral traits but have lost the knowledge as to why, so these informative videos are extremely helpful and important to me so thank you for being you and doing what you do.
i have a ? about why the pine trees are dying in the area that you are harvesting willow and if there is some kind of problem there that could be hurting that ecosystem? How can we as novices know if there is a problem w/ our harvest areas??? tytyty
Hello Hherbal Jedi.
I adore your videos. They are do infotrmative, understandable, and inspire me to try what you are talking about. Especially things like which type willow addresses which issues and where to find them and how to identify each.
Do you have all this information written in a book?
Happy I found your channel. You're like the Bob Ross of plants.
Totally!!
What an amazing video, thanks Shannon from Michigan ❤️
Is there any reason to use a dual extraction process when making a tincture? Thank you!
I was wondering that myself.
My family and I discovered a marsh in our town that has several beneficial plants. We have to hike, but today we harvested some spearmint and made iced tea with it when we got home. Willow also grows in abundance at this location, so I'm trying to learn about willows. Native Americans used this location for food and medicine in the past.
When you mentioned "bioavailability", were you referring to the tinctures with alcohol or the power form? Amazing video, you speak with both knowledge and passion of this plant. My daugher and I will look for the willows in April. Thank you for the inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! It’s like taking a walk with a friend
You are amazing and inspiring, thank you for you educational videos
100000 congratulations. Keep the Great Work coming . Thanks
I am glad to see this video. I am grateful to you.
Hi. I’m soooo glad to have met you digitally! I’ve recently been diagnosed with Polymalagia Rheumatic. They want to treat me with Prednisone. I hate it and don’t want to use it. So I learned a bout white willow bark, and I made a tincture out of it.
You mentioned not to use it long-term. I’m trying to get the inflammation down and also trying to lose excessive weight that I’ve been carrying that I feel is a contributing factor to everything that ails me! How long is too long to use this for inflammation? I think you would advance for your response.
Pls, read Medical Medium book by Anthony William. It will help you.
Thank you
