So I got: chamomile (careful if allergic to asters), tulsi, stinging nettles, echinacea (not for long term use), elder flower and elderberries (good for pollinators), 3 mints (catmint/catnip, peppermint and spearmint) could be too strong for some people, mullein (careful of breathing it in) (tea, or smoke) it's an expectorant, oat straw (avena sativa) (milky stage tincture or tea), skullcap (for sleep), valerian (knocks you out), lemon balm (easy to grow, good for anxiety, lift spirits, helps with psychosomatic symptoms), yarrow (stops bleeding), marshmallow root (helps with gut health)/broad plantain (good for gut health). Food uses for rosemary, thyme, garlic, oregano, hibiscus, rose, lavender. More colors in food, the better (eat the rainbow). This is not an exhaustive list. Please consult with your doctor if allergic or taking medications, and research each individual herb to see if it would work for you. Stop taking if you are experiencing adverse reactions.
It was really nice of you to take the time to type all this. I would like to add: I believe broad leaf and narrow leaf plantain have pretty much the same medicinal values. I use them interchangeably. If what's growing in your area is narrow leaf, grab that. You'll just need more leaves because they're smaller.
Be very careful with skullcap. It’s a powerful herb that should be taken with the mentality “less is more” just like with poke root which can pull tumors out of the body in small does but larger doses can be fatal they say
More vids like THIS!! I love learning the kind of herbal info y'all talked about today! I have also read these same things in my books, but somehow, talking about them in person, and also in the videos helps it sink in much better! Thanks for sharing! ❤️ And yes, I too, want to grow them all !!!
I started my Kitchen Apothecary because of y'all, thank you for giving me the courage to do it. I love it and feeling better being off my medicine and doing herbs
Thank you for the knowledge and content!!! In a family full of Drs they look at me crazy when I start talking about herbs. They just seem to forget where the medicine originated from!
You guys are always so much fun to watch. It's obvious that you love what you do, as much as you love one another. This has to be the most wholesome, educational channel on YT.
By the title I thought you were going to be talking about just kitchen herbs and their medicinal properties. Sage , marjoram, even parsley and especially oregano, plus many other 'kitchen' herbs are definitely worth putting in a longer video. Thank you and Blessings to you both.
Thank to y'all, I've started drinking herb tea I have asthma the worst, I bought some from the store just to see. Raspberry zinger I felt better before cup was gone slept like a baby so I am working on getting herbs to help with breathing and making tea
My sister forages mullein and plantain, dries them, and stores them in jars. When anyone starts having any issues that involve the lungs, she makes them tea. It really helps.
speaking of mullein. I processed my leaves just this week and got the chest and throat effect. I had air dried the leaves for like 2 weeks the did the last moisture in the dehydrator. I had to take my dehydrator outside to finish the job. I basically medicated the entire house. hehehe. AND I've had my Dad add the dried leaves to his tabaco and it seems to help there too.
Can you do a show about ‘Throw It Out’ How to tell when herbs/teas/remedies are spent/too old/needing to be swapped out for fresh... color, age, ‘best by date’, etc. and ‘when in doubt, throw it out’? I made an herbal medicine first aid Kit and then never needed it until many of the remedies were out dated 😔😢. I reminded myself that that was a good thing 😅😂 It was hard to throw away all that work 😉 Thanks for sharing 💝
I can attest to this. As a self proclaimed natural kitchen witch, my spice and herb cupboard is quite extensive, and will continue to grow as I expand my medicinal garden/ apothecary 🥰 thank you for giving me the courage to follow my instincts and to continue to learn and expand my inherent knowledge
I have just found your channel a few weeks ago. I am absolutely loving all the things I am learning. I am very new to learning about herbs. I am a registered nurse and have learned mostly about western medicine. I now work for an integrative provider and I am so incredibly interested in learning all things natural! Thank you for doing these videos and sharing your wealth of knowledge. I can’t wait to start my home apothecary!
An integrative provider. Wow! How do I find one of those? I love my doctor, but sometimes traditional medicine doesn't have the answer. He once looked at me and said, "You're one of those people they write textbooks about!" Also, he's a smart guy, but the tools in his toolbox can create a whole new set of problems.
Tulsi is a favourite. Growing it in my basement for fresh. Smells just wonderful down there. I Live in Saskatchewan Canada so it will be a long time before it’s growing outside. Lol
I'm not good at making good tasting tea. But, I do use herbals in my meals. There was a time when I couldn't stand Rosemary's aroma. However, once I learned the benefits of it, it is a sweet smell to me, and I love it. Just like Tulsi. My husband couldn't stand it, but when the wind blew over it that aroma was so sweet...um, he makes sure I grow it with my herbs. He loves it.
I love to watch you together and I want to thank you for your enthousiasm for all these herbs. I am looking forward to many more videos like this one. You make me feel "at home"
THIS is the one I’ve been waiting for!!!💫💫 Thanks So Much!!!! Can’t wait for part 2!❤❤ QUESTION - on the herbs that do clearing of systems - is it expected to feel crappy at first? Makes sense that if it’s clearing the toxins are moving through the body and make you feel yuck…. But sometimes I worry is it the clearing process or I’m I reacting in a bad way to it🤷🏻♀ is there a general time to give something a chance…. Like a couple of days - a week - before giving up on it? I’d rather know I’m going to feel like crap for 2 days then be so much better - than not try it. But need a guideline on for how long - research hasn’t brought even general knowledge. Thanks!!💚
I have dried Elderberries. Could you pls elaborate on what/how I can use the dried berries to make tincture or syrup. Maybe I missed the video you already showed. Thanks for all that both of you add to anyone's home apothecary - much appreciated during these questionable times.
I so enjoyed this video, a great break down to get started, this really cleared my head to help me get started, since I am new at it. Thank you Ladies !!! ✝️💟
I have to say... What your mom said about the herbs saying, "What about me?!" almost brought me to tears. It reminded me to stop trying to not listen to them. 🙂 Thank you.
I get the impression that you guys have local clients with whom you spend time consulting, and for whom you formulate custom blends. You don't do online orders, do you? We couldn't just order, say, an ounce of Skullcap or something from you, could we?
One piece of advice: mullein needs to be in the ground. It grows a tap root that can be 15-20 feet long! My sister tried to grow some in a pot last year, and couldn't understand why it was dying. I told her she needed to get it out of the pot because she was cutting its feet off.
I have a spot that has flourished and I have over 20 plants. My neighbor started mowing and I had to go out there and harvest everything I could find. It was hard to get some of those roots but I left the mother plant and told the guy mowing to allow it to grow since they are bi-annual plants. It's the only plant that has developed flowers and seeds. I am going to plant it in a safer place to keep him from destroying all of it. I also heard that they use these plants for candles during the winter solstice. I have no idea what solstice is but I am here to learn. I love learning from y'all.
Thank you including Mullein and the smoking of it Mrs. Honeystead. Smoking Mullein helped me completely stop bronchitis in it's track within 5 days of begining it's use Mam
I started with plantain, and it was my gateway plant lol. Getting more into foraging now and stumbled on your channel. Such great info and awesome vids. Thank you for sharing with us!
Chicken Math😂😂😂all I can say is, “yeppers”! I have a TEA CUBBY, all my herbs, ( grown and foraged) for our daily needs and uses. I really enjoy you and your Mom…if my Mother was still with us. She would definitely be one of your biggest fans. Collecting Raspberries Leaves, Rosemary and my Mints today. My new neighbor mowed all the Mullein and Thistle; so convenient. Have to find a new foraging spot…
I'm at the beginning of this journey. Decided to start with culinary herbs i can grow and easily foragable perennials that grow naturally right here. Purchasing ones i can't that i want to use to make my own cleaners and hygiene type products.
I hope you keep up with videos on medicinal herbs. Please do a hot flash herb video. It it so needed. I have gotten into Vitex and Dong Quia amongst others to make a blend.
New Subscriber here! I'm so thankful to have found you - very excited to learn more. Have grown culinary herbs and some tea herbs for years but expanding now to more medicinal herbs also. Lots of people like letting you know how much they know, but very few are willing to 'share' their knowledge in a way that equips others to learn and apply their wisdom. Thank you for sharing!
Both of you are such an inspiration, please keep making videos. I'm learning so much from what your sharing, you guys are true blessings, and my biggest inspiration to create my own home apothecary.
I can totally see a “beginner kit” on Etsy… ya know.. in all that free time you’ve got 😂 I also now have a herb garden growing in pots on my front porch! It started with garlic and honey this past winter with my boys and their constant sore throats and then the next thing I knew I was harvesting dandelions like a crazy person
I'm one of the 10% that can't do Valerian. It relaxed me, I went to bed, then it was like I drank a quart of coffee, was up for 5 hrs...UGH! Not crazy, just couldn't sleep. I'm the warm dry person, Valerian from what I found out is for a cool wet/moist person.
I would add Slippery Elm too. I've been taking that for a few years now because I have Esophageal damage from Reflux and that is the only thing that has helped me be able to eat bread and other more dense foods. Big pharma was no help. I do have a question though...what herbs do you use for chronic pain? I have Osteoarthritis and will soon have a hip replacement but I do not like taking narcotics and other pain pills. I've been trying to research which ones are best and how to use them.
Hi how did you take the slippery elm. A family member has Esophageal damage from silent reflux and I would like to give her a clear directions on how to use it. Thank you
@@mcquaimc The best way for me is in a smoothie for breakfast. That's how I take most of my supplements because I have a hard time with pills. I buy the powder not the root and add a heaping teaspoon to my smoothie. You can make a syrup with it and add marshmallow root. That's how I started but it makes a congealed mess! So I opted to just go with the Slippery Elm powder added to my breakfast. You can put it in a lot of things if smoothies aren't your thing. It tastes slightly earthy which I happen to like. The herbalist gave me a "blend" to try but after trial and error I just went with the Slippery Elm because it seems to do the trick. It is a bit pricey though when you take it every day.
Oh my gosh, I did not know this about slippery elm! I'm so glad I read your comment this morning; I have an order at Homegrown Herbalist that I'm about to complete today. Thank you so much! Returning the favor: Cramp bark tincture. It's magic. When I have something stuck in my throat, I squirt some down my throat with a dropper, wait a couple minutes, and the muscles relax and the food goes on down.
My goodness! This was so heartwarming it brought tears to my eyes!!!! I loved watching this so much ❤ my mom is 81 years young and I help take care of her. My dad passed away over 3 yrs ago and it's been so hard on her , she's so lost without him :( getting her out and doing things has been so hard but I'm hoping so much I can get her out helping me in my garden this yr. Your mom, grandmother is absolutely precious! Treasure her as much as possible ladies! Much love to you ❤️
I love yarrow but had never used it for bleeding. Well I was grabbing camping gear out of the closet and noticed blood everywhere - turns out a camping knife had fallen out of its sheath and I had cut the end of my finger off. So one handed I grabbed the yarrow capsules, opened one up and dumped the powder on a towel, shoved my bleeding profusely finger into the middle of the yarrow and wrapped it all up holding gentle pressure since it was cut her not powdered. After 10 minutes it wasn’t hurting so I carefully looked in the towel - no more bleeding. I gave it a few more minutes then rinsed it - all the yarrow came away and I could see the sliced off end but no blood and no pain- none at all. It healed quickly with no further pain or bleeding even when I hit it - that hurt a bit lol. So I keep yarrow always in my kitchen and home.
Oh my goodness puh-LEASE do videos on herbs for gut health 🙏 I got sick with norovirus a little over a year ago and wild herbs from my yard along with rhubarb saved my gut. Learning how to heal from that with herbs was fascinating and I want to know more!
HI you two! Awesome channel!! I am sure this question was asked a 100x or more times. How long have you been studying herbal medicine? Ya'll got it down real good. Thanks for what you are doing. Pam from Minnesota
I really love watching y'all ❤. How I started building my home apothecary is going to the local apothecary that has bulk herbs and each payday I give myself $10-$15 to buy herbs an ounce at a time. Within two months I had a really good collection started and the refill as needed. An ounce of most herbs all but fill a pint size jar some like mullein almost filled a qt jar. So your starting out with an amount that is useful. This year I have purchased many seeds and will be growing many of my own herbs, which I'm really excited about. God bless keep up they amazing job y'all are doing.
I HAVE A REQUEST PLEASE................ I have a request, when you are showing us what this plant or that plant looks like, could you add the name of the plant to the photo so those of us that are just starting out will be able to add these photos to our Photo sec. & have an on going record of what these plants look like along W/Their names. Thank You....
Hi I live in a third floor condo, SE facing. I bought a med. size wooden planter, the planter is 2' x 5 ft. I want to grow some of my own meds. What do you think I should plant, in the warmer weather of course. and how much of each?
Pls know that mulberry trees-white, red, black- have free melatonin in the tips of leaf about an inch from tip down the leaf. Imo, this melatonin makes one sleep longer, but when one awakens can jump into tasks with less sleepy lag time. Hence,i have coined the title "cocoon sleep"😊! God bless!
Thanks for sharing this information so far. Bright a question in mind. Do you have a recipe for a healthy gut tea or suggestion of a few to blend to help get back on track?
New subscriber here! Thanks for all this valuable information that you’ve shared. I’m definite going to watch more of your videos. I’d really like to get started with herbalism 😊
This is my new favorite channel. Very interesting. I'm looking to do my own tincture for ulcerative colitis. I have a lot of inflammation. I'm looking to start with turmeric and black pepper. Is there more you'd recommend? I do drink aloe vera juice almost everyday to help.
I found this youtube channel, looking for Lung Cleanse & Respiratory Herbal Drops solution, it's very interesting all the things that you do, experts, can we use any nettles, what about the ones in the UK, as unfortunatley that's where i live.
Thanks for teaching me. I am new to this and enjoy learning how to use and make my own cure's. The side effects of proscription medicine gives you other problems. I am trying to get away from that
When you said you take Akullcap for rest and sleep. How do you take it? Is it a tincture? Or as a tea before bed? I find I have the chatty mind too and I'm pregnant and really need my rest!
Can you guys talk and go into herbs/herbal teas safe for pregnancy? I started my herbal journey and herbal medicine study right before finding out I’m pregnant. I’d love your guys opinions/advice
I enjoy the information but am confused a bit. I thought this was going to be herbs normally used in the kitchen (to cook) and their value in an apothecary. I am just now starting and was hoping to learn how to utilize what herbs I normally have to help my family be healthy without a large investment of time or money.
When your mom isnt in the video with you, you almost seem depressed..or just not quite the same. I almost asked you in a different video why did you seem off? Also, how did you smoke it??? In a pot or pan?
@@brigittemiller5073 if it was said I didn't catch it that Tulsi is Holy Basil. I looked it up and I think I may have ordered some last week. I ❤ basil of any kind, but have never experienced Holy Basil...yet. 😉
Check out our online herbalism course- school.thewhisperingwillowfarm.com/offers/ggYWznWJ/checkout
So I got: chamomile (careful if allergic to asters), tulsi, stinging nettles, echinacea (not for long term use), elder flower and elderberries (good for pollinators), 3 mints (catmint/catnip, peppermint and spearmint) could be too strong for some people, mullein (careful of breathing it in) (tea, or smoke) it's an expectorant, oat straw (avena sativa) (milky stage tincture or tea), skullcap (for sleep), valerian (knocks you out), lemon balm (easy to grow, good for anxiety, lift spirits, helps with psychosomatic symptoms), yarrow (stops bleeding), marshmallow root (helps with gut health)/broad plantain (good for gut health). Food uses for rosemary, thyme, garlic, oregano, hibiscus, rose, lavender. More colors in food, the better (eat the rainbow). This is not an exhaustive list. Please consult with your doctor if allergic or taking medications, and research each individual herb to see if it would work for you. Stop taking if you are experiencing adverse reactions.
It was really nice of you to take the time to type all this. I would like to add: I believe broad leaf and narrow leaf plantain have pretty much the same medicinal values. I use them interchangeably. If what's growing in your area is narrow leaf, grab that. You'll just need more leaves because they're smaller.
@@Romans828girl thanks, I’ve wondered about narrow leaf. We have it everywhere.
THANK YOU! ❤
Be very careful with skullcap. It’s a powerful herb that should be taken with the mentality “less is more” just like with poke root which can pull tumors out of the body in small does but larger doses can be fatal they say
More vids like THIS!!

We love our mugs!!!!! I tagged your channel:)
❤
Thank you for the knowledge and content!!! In a family full of Drs they look at me crazy when I start talking about herbs. They just seem to forget where the medicine originated from!
Gods medicine is all around us! And it’s free!
Keep talking about it! It’s great knowledge! A lot of our medicine that comes in the forms of pills now first came from plants
You guys are always so much fun to watch. It's obvious that you love what you do, as much as you love one another. This has to be the most wholesome, educational channel on YT.
Oh, yes, oh yes, yes, YES!

@@TheHoneystead I'm glad to see that. I'll be watching 😀
@@TheHoneystead Oh, excellent! I too would find that very helpful.
I love how you two can finish each other's sentences and know just what the other wants to say. You have so much knowledge!
Thank to y'all, I've started drinking herb tea
I have asthma the worst, I bought some from the store just to see. Raspberry zinger I felt better before cup was gone slept like a baby so I am working on getting herbs to help with breathing and making tea
My sister forages mullein and plantain, dries them, and stores them in jars. When anyone starts having any issues that involve the lungs, she makes them tea. It really helps.
Tulsi and Marshmallow root are delicious as a steak rub, too!! I've been making our own rubs for steak, pork, and chicken.
I am so glad I found your channel and I'm so grateful that you guys are willing to share your knowledge. It's awesome to see mom back, I love ya'll 😁

How to tell when herbs/teas/remedies are spent/too old/needing to be swapped out for fresh... color, age, ‘best by date’, etc. and ‘when in doubt, throw it out’?
I made an herbal medicine first aid

It was hard to throw away all that work 😉
Thanks for sharing 💝
I started in January. I already had several herbs on hand but I have 24 different tinctures brewing lol 🤦♀️
But they'll come in handy 😁
Wow! You jumped in with both feet!

I think it's Brigitte. I'm pretty sure that the Brigitte Miller who replies to a lot of the comments is Mama Honeystead. So glad she's feeling better!
Tulsi is a favourite. Growing it in my basement for fresh. Smells just wonderful down there. I Live in Saskatchewan Canada so it will be a long time before it’s growing outside. Lol
What a great idea!? I need this plant in my HOUSE!!!
That’s great to know because I live in Alberta & it is in my seed bin! Thanks!
I planted it two years ago 5a rural Ottawa valley and it has self seeded in my veg garden.. oops :D last summer we got into fresh basil sweet tea 💞
When everything starts blooming again can you show us how you get the herbs dried or however you do the process to collect so many in a jar
When you are growing your own herbs or foraging, is there a book that you could recommend for how and when to harvest and prepare them?
I believe they use Peaterson's Field Guide. I hope you receive this information.
God bless.

I've infused garlic and ginger into raw honey and it is super helpful for coughing and soothing the throat.
My favorite!!!
I wanted to try orange peel and ginger in honey!
@@TheHoneystead I'm gonna have to try it also.
I do ginger, garlic, turmeric infused honey. Adding a citrus would be a great addition!
Love this ❤ now we need a deeper dive into each one!

These are ALL Herbs I am growing this year! So happy to hear they made your list 😀

Hi mumma, love watching the channel when mumma and daughter are together teaching us about herbs , stay well and thank you
I was thinking about that, what a great relationship. I wish I had that with my mom.
Years ago I smoked mullein to quit smoking cigarettes.
Love your channel. You’ve inspired me to get my tea blends together

I'm one of the 10% that can't do Valerian. It relaxed me, I went to bed, then it was like I drank a quart of coffee, was up for 5 hrs...UGH! Not crazy, just couldn't sleep. I'm the warm dry person, Valerian from what I found out is for a cool wet/moist person.
This is such helpful info! What seed supplier do you recommend to purchase seeds to grow these?
Glad to see your mom's back with you
I would add Slippery Elm too. I've been taking that for a few years now because I have Esophageal damage from Reflux and that is the only thing that has helped me be able to eat bread and other more dense foods. Big pharma was no help. I do have a question though...what herbs do you use for chronic pain? I have Osteoarthritis and will soon have a hip replacement but I do not like taking narcotics and other pain pills. I've been trying to research which ones are best and how to use them.
Read about Boswellia and Cats Claw-but not if you are awaiting surgery.
Hi how did you take the slippery elm. A family member has Esophageal damage from silent reflux and I would like to give her a clear directions on how to use it. Thank you
@@mcquaimc The best way for me is in a smoothie for breakfast. That's how I take most of my supplements because I have a hard time with pills. I buy the powder not the root and add a heaping teaspoon to my smoothie. You can make a syrup with it and add marshmallow root. That's how I started but it makes a congealed mess! So I opted to just go with the Slippery Elm powder added to my breakfast. You can put it in a lot of things if smoothies aren't your thing. It tastes slightly earthy which I happen to like. The herbalist gave me a "blend" to try but after trial and error I just went with the Slippery Elm because it seems to do the trick. It is a bit pricey though when you take it every day.
@@TheHoneystead True, I had to give up everything 10 days before my last surgery. Brutal 10 days lol.
Oh my gosh, I did not know this about slippery elm! I'm so glad I read your comment this morning; I have an order at Homegrown Herbalist that I'm about to complete today. Thank you so much!
Returning the favor: Cramp bark tincture. It's magic. When I have something stuck in my throat, I squirt some down my throat with a dropper, wait a couple minutes, and the muscles relax and the food goes on down.
My goodness! This was so heartwarming it brought tears to my eyes!!!! I loved watching this so much ❤ my mom is 81 years young and I help take care of her. My dad passed away over 3 yrs ago and it's been so hard on her , she's so lost without him :( getting her out and doing things has been so hard but I'm hoping so much I can get her out helping me in my garden this yr. Your mom, grandmother is absolutely precious! Treasure her as much as possible ladies! Much love to you ❤️
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful and interesting. Xx. Aust melb.
I love yarrow but had never used it for bleeding. Well I was grabbing camping gear out of the closet and noticed blood everywhere - turns out a camping knife had fallen out of its sheath and I had cut the end of my finger off. So one handed I grabbed the yarrow capsules, opened one up and dumped the powder on a towel, shoved my bleeding profusely finger into the middle of the yarrow and wrapped it all up holding gentle pressure since it was cut her not powdered. After 10 minutes it wasn’t hurting so I carefully looked in the towel - no more bleeding. I gave it a few more minutes then rinsed it - all the yarrow came away and I could see the sliced off end but no blood and no pain- none at all. It healed quickly with no further pain or bleeding even when I hit it - that hurt a bit lol. So I keep yarrow always in my kitchen and home.
I wish there were stores that existed that were like this! Having a local apothecary is my dream
With herbal teas. Do you get better results with long cold brew or short hot brew? Does it matter?
Hot for sure! Think about how that how water is releasing all the goodness in the herbs!
Cat mint is also good for dogs it calms them down.
Oh my goodness puh-LEASE do videos on herbs for gut health 🙏 I got sick with norovirus a little over a year ago and wild herbs from my yard along with rhubarb saved my gut. Learning how to heal from that with herbs was fascinating and I want to know more!
Could you recomment something for Colesterol problems ?? Thank you very much.
I love your mother one here (if I’m right that she’s your mom) she’s expressive and descriptive and beautifully words it all- comforting ❤
You and the sider. We don't know that in that 30 homes living place in the Netherlands. I think it's a good thing. Thanks and see you next time.
HI you two! Awesome channel!! I am sure this question was asked a 100x or more times. How long have you been studying herbal medicine? Ya'll got it down real good. Thanks for what you are doing. Pam from Minnesota
I really love watching y'all ❤. How I started building my home apothecary is going to the local apothecary that has bulk herbs and each payday I give myself $10-$15 to buy herbs an ounce at a time. Within two months I had a really good collection started and the refill as needed. An ounce of most herbs all but fill a pint size jar some like mullein almost filled a qt jar. So your starting out with an amount that is useful. This year I have purchased many seeds and will be growing many of my own herbs, which I'm really excited about. God bless keep up they amazing job y'all are doing.
I HAVE A REQUEST PLEASE................
I have a request, when you are showing us what this plant or that plant looks like, could you add the name of the plant to the photo so those of us that are just starting out will be able to add these photos to our Photo sec. & have an on going record of what these plants look like along W/Their names. Thank You....
Hi
I live in a third floor condo, SE facing. I bought a med. size wooden planter, the planter is 2' x 5 ft. I want to grow some of my own meds. What do you think I should plant, in the warmer weather of course. and how much of each?
Where do you buy the herbs you don’t grow?
I really like Frontier Co-op! Mountain Rose and Starwest botanical are good too!
I just found your channel...and I want to start myself. What would be like your top 3-5 books for a beginner?
Pls know that mulberry trees-white, red, black- have free melatonin in the tips of leaf about an inch from tip down the leaf. Imo, this melatonin makes one sleep longer, but when one awakens can jump into tasks with less sleepy lag time. Hence,i have coined the title "cocoon sleep"😊! God bless!
Thanks for sharing this information so far. Bright a question in mind. Do you have a recipe for a healthy gut tea or suggestion of a few to blend to help get back on track?
I’ve had a very scaled down apothecary but didn’t know it. Lol. Been dabbling in this for thirty years. Getting more into it now.
New subscriber here! Thanks for all this valuable information that you’ve shared. I’m definite going to watch more of your videos. I’d really like to get started with herbalism 😊
This is my new favorite channel. Very interesting. I'm looking to do my own tincture for ulcerative colitis. I have a lot of inflammation. I'm looking to start with turmeric and black pepper. Is there more you'd recommend? I do drink aloe vera juice almost everyday to help.
How awesome to see her again ! 😊🏡. Nice video . My apothecary is for everywhere in the home , on the go, sharing & growing it all the time 🪴💕😊
I found this youtube channel, looking for Lung Cleanse & Respiratory Herbal Drops solution, it's very interesting all the things that you do, experts, can we use any nettles, what about the ones in the UK, as unfortunatley that's where i live.
Well that's interesting about the mullein..smoking it seems counterintuitive? Herbs are amazing!
This was a very, very helpful video. Thank you!

Thanks for teaching me. I am new to this and enjoy learning how to use and make my own cure's. The side effects of proscription medicine gives you other problems. I am trying to get away from that
I need to figure out which plants to use for Ashwaganda and Astragalus. Can you cover those please? 😊
When you said you take Akullcap for rest and sleep. How do you take it? Is it a tincture? Or as a tea before bed? I find I have the chatty mind too and I'm pregnant and really need my rest!
Can you guys talk and go into herbs/herbal teas safe for pregnancy? I started my herbal journey and herbal medicine study right before finding out I’m pregnant. I’d love your guys opinions/advice
Question 🙋♀️?
Are you selling the herb?
Can you plant all herbs in an herb garden? Or are there "companion benefits/issues" to having certain ones growing together?
Do you feel the third edition is the best of Prescription for Nutritional Healing?
I enjoy the information but am confused a bit. I thought this was going to be herbs normally used in the kitchen (to cook) and their value in an apothecary. I am just now starting and was hoping to learn how to utilize what herbs I normally have to help my family be healthy without a large investment of time or money.
When your mom isnt in the video with you, you almost seem depressed..or just not quite the same. I almost asked you in a different video why did you seem off? Also, how did you smoke it??? In a pot or pan?
Tulsi is one I had either not heard of or forgot. Will have to look for seeds. 😉
Holy Basil is wonderful fresh Throw a few fresh sprigs in cool water in the summer…. Delicious and so refreshing
@@brigittemiller5073 if it was said I didn't catch it that Tulsi is Holy Basil. I looked it up and I think I may have ordered some last week. I ❤ basil of any kind, but have never experienced Holy Basil...yet. 😉
You both have beautiful skin! All that herbal goodness!
