Thank you Dina. Mother wort is popping up all over! I've been studying for several seasons now and this year I plan to harvest medicinal plants and edible food source plants. I like that you have shown the seasons and would like to define look alikes in spring and in flower for this beautiful medicinal plant and for others.
Love this. Thanks so much, the time and detail shared in helping us learn to be a plant detective is often overlooked in plant property discussions. This was fun and informative.
Great video Dina, thank you! Interesting timing too, as I have never found Motherwort in or around my hometown until just last month. I saw these very leaves in abundance along a trail I had never previously visited and wondered what they were. Fortunately, one single elder flowering top was still standing from its summer bloom, and I recognized it once I saw that one late bloomer! I love that you've made a video for others who may not see the flowering top!💚
thank you. Yesterday I was in a full panic/emotional heartbreak. I was out on a walk and looked down and saw Motherwort. I plucked a leaf and popped it in my mouth. Within 5 minutes I experienced a lot of relief. So grateful for this plant. In the video you mention that there is a season for it's medicine. It's fall moving into winter here in Minnesota. I still got a lot of benefit from motherwort even though it's getting cold out. Wondering how much the season makes a difference if eating the leaf whole? - thanks!
Love your comment here. Thanks. Regarding herbal therapeutics, there is a peak medicine moment for each plant, but still the plants can offer healing in their various stages, even if not at peak harvest time. For motherwort the leaf right now would still have much to offer, as you experienced. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your comment. Seeding motherwort sounds cool; although hoping you can find some plants too. And curious, what accent do you hear in my voice?
OH MY!!! I pull this up all the time... ( how sad...could've had a lot of motherwort by now if I knew what the plant was) Well, I just replanted one that I pulled out before watching this video ...and know where others are at. Thank you for this ID upload ~💕
Many of these plants that I share about are wild, like this motherwort. Or, as you say, you can plant them. Many of them are detailed at Strictly Medicinal Seeds website. Or Richters. There may also be a more local herb growing you can connect with in your area of Utah.
Thank you for your comment. Generally speaking, if motherwort is taken in small amounts (work with your health care provider on this), it should not negatively affect the kidney's. But each of us is different, and best to assess this with a skilled health care provider.
Thanks, Stacey, for your question. Mugwort is a totally different plant than motherwort. Mugwort is scientifically called Artemisia vulgaris. And if you can spend time looking at these two plants, you'll be able to tell them apart quite easily. Hope this helps.
Hello Kaleb, yes motherwort pops up early. It is often under the snow all winter long, so when the snow melts away, there it is. Motherwort is not food, it's medicine. It tastes awful. You could make medicine with it now, but usually one waits until it starts to flower to harvest it.

Thanks for your comment!
Always love your videos. I'm way down in zone 9. I really appreciate your style of communication. I learn well listening to you. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment and for appreciating the videos!
I've found Motherwort used with Chamomile helps with abandonment issues.
Good to hear your experience here.
I'm definitely gonna try them both... I don't think there's any hope for my abandonment issues...
I planted one plant in Abilene Texas in part shade and have many new plants springing up everywhere, very little water and still thriving.
Great, good to know!

Welcome.
Dina I love and appreciate your process of teaching plant identification Thank you 🌱
Thank you, Barbara, for your comment. Enjoy the video lessons!
Love your subtle accent and calm voice. I hope to get some Motherwort seeds to plant in Spring as I've never found this in Southern Ontario
Thanks for your comment. Seeding motherwort sounds cool; although hoping you can find some plants too. And curious, what accent do you hear in my voice?
@@DinaFalconi lol I'm not sure! maybe Italian or southern U.S.?... just a slight cool accent that isn't mine :)
Ha, thanks for the comment. My first language was Spanish and so wondered if that was what you were hearing.
@@DinaFalconi It's a beautiful cool accent :)
Thank you again great teaching
Thank you, Marilyn, for your support!

How do we plant a backyard garden for all these things in Utah??

Hello madam sorry I just want to find out if mother wort is good for kidneys or damage the kidneys thank you ma

When is the best time to harvest motherwort
When it's in flower. ua-cam.com/video/81oxE1Qqep8/v-deo.html.
Is Motherwort and Mugwort the same thing?
Thanks, Stacey, for your question. Mugwort is a totally different plant than motherwort. Mugwort is scientifically called Artemisia vulgaris. And if you can spend time looking at these two plants, you'll be able to tell them apart quite easily. Hope this helps.
This seems to be one of the first plants popping up in nd. I thought it was garlic mustard. Can you eat it at this stage?
Hello Kaleb, yes motherwort pops up early. It is often under the snow all winter long, so when the snow melts away, there it is. Motherwort is not food, it's medicine. It tastes awful. You could make medicine with it now, but usually one waits until it starts to flower to harvest it.
@@DinaFalconi interesting thanks
The wild food and health booster web site won't load. Help please
Sure, email us over at info (at) inthewild (dot) kitchen and we'll figure it out.
@@DinaFalconi Sorry. Don't understand this email address

Glad!!!
I no longer trust "Healthcare providers".
Thanks for your comment.
It kinda looks like peppermint
It's in the same family as peppermint, the Lamiaceae family, so has some similar characteristics.
