    My parents in Lithuania still colect this plant flowers and dry. We make tea and drink to treat colds. I am so happy that yesterday i have found this plant growing near my friends pond In Yorkshire. The pond itself is very old and was used by the monks for fishing and bathing in olden times.

    Last night, I just asked my wife what the medicinal uses were for our meadowsweet, as it's just made a couple runners and I just found some recipes for the flowers. Then this video was waiting for me in the morning. Thanks creepy google listening on our conversation!

    I am planning my "Grounding Garden" and bought meadowsweet seeds to plant in it. It will be planted with lemon grass, and prairie smoke to name a few.
    Thank you for sharing this info and it's beautiful history. I cannot wait to get it in my garden.

    I sample teas a lot last few years (especially since I have gout from time to time). This stuff is in my herbat Tea by Traditional Medicinals (Ginger,Turmeric, Meadowsweet). and WOW!! My feet and ankles feel amazing, even my toes! I think its the Meadowsweet...I'm getting the same "poppin' and crackin' I usually get when I drink my Tart Cherry juice. I can literally feel swelling going down, and wasn't even really in a Gout flare at the time. Think I'm going to keep on drinking this daily now for its arthritis benefits. If you have gout, or some kind of arthritis, I suggest you try this tea. Its cheaper than Knudsen's Organic Tart Cherry juice, which is the only thing that really helps my flares....but its so sweet and too much sugar, so the diabetic/pre-diabetic aspect has to be figured in...and Diabetes , sugar and gout all have a link, due to the over-arching theme of inflammation in general.

    just discovered your channel after being recommended your video on mugwort. I was so excited to see that you express gratitude before harvesting the plant. I've been reading Braiding Sweetgrass and that is a huge part of harvesting in indigenous culture. To ask for permission and respectfully take from the plant, maybe offer it something in return. I really love that mentality and it should be a more practiced ritual when foraging and harvesting plants. i have subbed and will probably be binging these videos. i love herbs!

I would love a video some day on herbs for making an herbal mouthwash or toothpaste. Modern toothcare products have always felt like harsh poison to my system. Would any of the herbs you mention for oral care work well as a tincture that could then be added to water daily to use as a mouthwash or to brush teeth with?

So i managed to reach over the fence and pick a few of the flower heads. I brewed the flower heads up and added some honey. It has a bitter/ sweat flavour. But i am actually sipping some from cup as i am writing this. I must indeed see if i can dig up some root, too. Thankyou again.

    Yarrow,
    I would love a video on some uses or recipes for general ailments along with these fantastic individual plant videos. Much like the mushroom dual extract video you made (which I followed to make my own). Simple stuff like joint pain and inflammation, or allergy and congestion, extracts or teas and what medicinal plants might be best to include in mixes like that. Each individual plant video is super informative on its own, I am just having a hard time wrapping my brain around the broader use and how to target certain ailments better.

    I have had a plant in my yard for three years, and I have heavy pressure from white-tailed deer. I have but seen them take a bite at all, and have been literally pushing past or meadowsweet to eat rose leaves. Seems to be spreading by rhizomes outward in it's third year. May be difficult to keep well-ordered in a small space. Oh, and our plants tend to droop, but that might be because of limited sun in our spot. Those hedges look great! I might try to get one in place at a local disused lot.
