Thanks so much for watching! @@sandradanforth8524
Thank you so much! 💜
I lost my 2 jobs in Disability + Mental Health (that I adored!) due to V mandates and the process of growing medicinal herbs has already provided so much healing. Grateful to have found your channel - thank you again 🦋 x
Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome to the channel. May the herbs in your life continue to bring you healing and comfort ♥♥
@@SpiraeaHerbs - Thank you lovely. I look forward to following and learning more from your channel. I have no doubt I'm not the only one benefitting mentally from your content so again, thank you. 💙
So nice to hear that vulnerable people weren’t put in danger by your former employers! 🤗
Burning sage incense around you, while outside, clears mosquitoes.
Not only mosquito!
Dried Neem tree leaves. Throw on top of hot coals.
All the mosquitoes that fly into the smoke will fall down dead.
I’ve discovered a ton in my yard & also in the woods along the forest line near my yard. I adore this herb.
What a beautiful discovery 😍
I love the knowledge of herbalists.😊
Love sharing it! Thanks for watching.
First time seeing you.
Wonderfully presented 🌱. Thank you
Thank you so much! 💙
I had a spatula that I super glued back together 😂 thank you for your videos! Love them
This was really helpful so as Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home Medicine for permanent cure for Lupus disease, yes Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home thank you 🙏..
Thank you! I have just been tincturing everything I can this year. Last year was when I first started and that was towards the end of the season. This plant IS mentioned in the book I got but I just recognized it today while watching another herbalist. I have seen them all over at the sides of my yard, where I don't mow (I just went out and looked so I harvested some seeds for next year). Thanks for your informative video's! Keep them coming, Bless you and your husband! Keep well sister.
I thought I was crazy when I first started finding certain plants whenever I get ill
Definitely not crazy! 💙🙏
That kind of knowledge is most precious. 😊❤
Thank you for bringing us these wonderful 💕 recipes.
Thank you for watching!!
What a wonderfully presented video. Thank you for your information. Greetings from Northern Ireland.
🍀🌻🌸🪴
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
I just love everything about your videos and the way you explain it all so perfectly, I too make my own medicines and only use all natural plants in my cooking etc., constantly foraging and trying learn as much as I can about all plants around me. I am also a fellow Canadian, I am in the Niagara Region of Ontario, I have lived not to far from where you are back some years ago when i lived in Gravenhurst! I also wanted you to know I just bought your book! Keep doing what your doing! Tracy
Thank you so much Tracy. It's always lovely opening up UA-cam and finding such kind words and comments like these. I'm glad that you find my videos helpful and thank you so much for ordering my book. It is greatly appreciated.
@@SpiraeaHerbs
I’ve found that vaping or smoking the flower of this herb feels almost identical to THC, aside from not helping with nausea like THC does. I’d compare the potency of the flowers to some 2-3% THC cannabis. I’ll be trying it mixed with hemp soon, that may be the perfect combo for those who don’t live in a “legalized” state or country.
Interesting! I've smoked a few herbs in my day, but never Prunella. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I have tried wild lettuce and it does give you a nice mild high.I got to try self heal.I love all the new cannibinoids out now like d8,THCh THCjpTHCP,THCO,THCV,HHC love up all and don't forgot old regular thc delta 9!
I may have to try this, I smoke & I’m a huge herbalist
I'm just now seeing this video. I have Prunella growing on my property. I do NOT mow it down. For mosquitoes, I have been working on an oil to protect against mosquitoes, and after testing it on myself, I can say that it works! It also works against flies and gnats. I'm hoping to be able to market it for exactly what it is, but I want to test it a little more, using different carrier oils, before I begin handing it out willy-nilly. However, I can say that it works, but I don't want this information public just yet, as I don't have any information, or testing, for allergies to the plant I'm using in the oils.
What a DELIGHTFUL, INFORMATIVE & CALMING presentation (and aura you exude :) Happily subbed 😊
That is one of the sweetest comments anyone has left on YT for me. Thank you!
Thanks Correne! This just showed up in my back yard this year. I will be making some for the cold season.
If you have enough I would definitely be making tincture as well!
❤ mulțumim pentru rețetele dumneavoastră, sunteți drăguță ❤. Vă urmărim din Romania.
Thank you so much! So exciting to have folks from all over the world follow my work. Glad you are here.
Thank you so much for this, Correne. I have always loved plants and a handful of years ago, after visiting overseas relatives and seeing Kew's and Amsterdam's Medic Gardens, I began to incorporate more herbs into my garden plantings. With Covid's arrival, as so many shops were closed or simply because I felt moved to stay home anyway, I started enrolling in online herbalism courses.. In haste I ordered herbs galore, including some I possibly didn't need, but I'm now fine-tuning my Medic Garden. I'm becoming more discerning about which herbs will be beneficial, and why, and how, and I've already felt the benefits of my home-grown plant medicine. I'm totally besotted with herbs and was thrilled to discover that this very plant, Heal All (aka Self heal) , which I'd only recently been sorry to discover was NOT a native ground cover, IS a wonderful, wonderful little herb. She is my current herb of the month study subject, and your generous sharing adds to the monograph I am putting together for her! Thank you! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I am so excited for you! And yes, it's way to easy to order ALL the things when it comes to herbs and then realize we actually need places to put all of these plants. Lol. I've been there. Enjoy the process of creating your materia medica and gardens!
You may be interested in my membership platform as well! If you want to deepen your herbal knowledge.
Just discovered this amazing weed. Here in northeastern Ohio it's all over the place. I've found two varieties, one grows short with not much stacking of the flowers, while the other is about a foot or more with a lot of stacking of the flowers. I have been harvesting piles of it to freeze in glass jars so I can eat it every day until next summer.
I use it as in tea, loved it!!!
I enjoyed watching and learning about this herb. I will search for it in my garden.
I hope you have it! Thanks for watching.
Hi lady! I am new here but I love you! Subscribed.
Welcome to the channel! And thanks so much.
I didn't know this is what I had come up profusely in my flower garden. It was pretty and close to the ground, like a green mandala when I discovered it. And then it grew those taller stems and flowers. Husband convinced me to get rid of it - telling me how it was all through our lawn.
Well, now I know what I just discarded...
However, I am hoping I wasn't so thorough while taking it out of the ground. Hopefully there are a lot if roots that will come up again!
I am retiring at the end of September and I intend to delve deeper into herbal remedies and more.
Thank you for this informative video. I will seek out your book too.
Definitely not a coincidence that I found your video to watch - while I was looking up information to know the differences between Queen Anne's Lace and Poison Hemlock.
Thank you again!
I am so glad that you found this informative. I think she will likely bounce back next year so you can experiment with the medicines and remedies! I hope my videos continue to help you on your journey ♥

I still have a Tupperware colander that I’ve had since the early ‘70’s! I replaced all my plastic with glass or stainless steel years ago, but I can’t part with my trusty colander.😄
This was really helpful so as Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home Medicine for permanent cure for Lupus disease, yes Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home thank you 🙏..
Good video. Very well presented.
Thank you for watching! It is very much appreciated.
Thanks for this video it is very helpful
So glad that you found it helpful!
@@SpiraeaHerbs I have been around heal all since I was very very little but never knew what it was. I was pretty sure that it was heal all about two years ago but didn't want to experiment with it till I was one hundred percent sure. In your video you stated that it could grow tall and it has a squared stem these were the final identifiers that make me absolutely sure that what I am looking at is in fact heal all. I am really looking forward to making that syrup which I also did not know how to do as all I have done is dehydrate stuff and make alcohol based tinatures. So yes this is an absolutely wonderful video. Thank you.
I've got some of this coming in the mail. I'm already taking mullein supplements and it's already worked wonders for my digestive and sleep issues.
That's great! What are you plans for the Prunella? Tea?
Essential oil of Peppermint can work as a bug deterrent.
Thanks :)
Love it when get my money .soon order that book thanks
Thank you so much!! ♥
For mosquito bites, minor skin irritations, small cuts and poison ivy, I use jewelweed and plantain plants. Rubbing it straight on works, as well as making a salve or plant infused vinegar solution.
I LOVE Self-heal! Found it 3 years ago in our yard, and have been using it ever since. I would like to try your recipe! Yes, it creeps along the ground at my house, but if I wait for a time when my husband hasn't had time to mow because of rain, I can usually get enough to use for a batch of something!
Glorious find! How awesome 😁
Did you plant all these herbs?
I come from germany so i dont know the english names, but i see Elderbushes, mullein, coneflower etc.
Amazing herbgarden :D
Thank you! I planted a lot of them but so many have naturalized on my property.
Hailsa sister, I just found your channel as always not sure how I arrived here but!!! Great video and content. Thank you! May Eir assist you with your healing skills.
Many warm welcomes to you! I am so glad that you stubbled upon my corner of the online world. Thank you for kind words and blessings ♥♥
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️💕🌎
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching.
Great video and everything is well explained, thank you! I'm from Germany and grew up with a Mezzaluna knife for cutting herbs and have one for many years, but I don't have that large mezzaluna cutting board! Have to go and find one..lol.
Thank you for watching! My family heritage is German as well. Are they commonly used there? And yes, a BIG cutting board is a must!
LOVED YOUR VIDEO. I found you by mistake and now I want to see more ! I’m close to Louisville...where do I start to look.?
As in where to look for herbs in the wild? Start in your own yard! Then start to branch out to local hiking trails and your neighbourhood. See what you can find!
Wow! Do I have this growing?? I’m in Montana? Your are so knowledgeable and fun to watch! Thank you!
I'm from Ontario Canada so I am not familiar with what grows in your area (but I assume it does). But it should be pretty easy to find either online or if you get your hands on a harvesting guide. You could also add some to your property!
I was wondering the same, I’m in northern Minnesota and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it…..but I’m going on the lookout !!!
I in Louisiana and this spring it was everywhere
I have 3 plants growing wild outside my property, wow good to know
That's a magical find!!!
I enjoyed your video.
Thank you for watching!
Plastic Lids are nice too.... even though I can't stand using plastic, but if you have them they are nice because of the oxidation of the metal lids. Great video I have a lawn with Self Heal and haven't ever made a tincture etc. I do collect flowers for tea in winter, you are inspiring me to make a topical salve out of it.. Thanks and Blessings!
Yes I completely feel the same way you do. I try to avoid plastic but with it comes to oxymels and such they are a great option. And I'm happy to hear that I inspired you! Happy medicine making and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Fantastic video. So glad I found your channel. Green blessings from Pennsylvania!
Thank you so very much and welcome!! ♥♥
I have citronella plants around my yard during summer. Last year I worked outdoors all summer in shorts and tank top - only one black fly bite, no mosquitoes although other properties were inundated. Caution - citronella must be brought in during winter.
We've tried that before, but at our old property. Might be something worth trying here! Thank you for reminding me of this.
I tried planning those here in East Texas made no difference mosquitoes were just as bad and ate me up. Glad it works for some.
@@traceykays433hi there ! I’m in northern calif n I’ve got mint.. when I’m out weeding I’ll put peppermint oil all over my arms n back of my neck n my legs.. no mosquitos until a few hours goes by n I need to do it again.. but I also make sure to keep a bottle of citronella oil nearby too.. it does work.. I just like the smell of mint.. n it also helps greatly with my joint pain.. especially after working hard
Heal All
Just found your Chanel, my cheap and fast mosquito repellent, only last a couple of hours is a bunch of fine chop parsley soaked over night in white vinegar, apple cider vinegar seems to attract wasp.
I make a bear grease infusion with several herbs and tree medicine that stops all bugs ticks even wasp will not sting. It's also pain relief and sun screen, last 12 hours. It's a compound medicine tailored for my personal needs.. I make flying ointments too. Nice Chanel, nice bolene I started using a Japanese hori hori knife, a atheme you can stick in the earth, or gather with it. Do what though will so long as it harms non,
Peace
Hi,
I have plenty of this herb in my back yard ...
Is this something you use the liquid only?
Thanks!
I'm not quite sure I understand the question... meaning that I tincture it and then use that liquid?
Male sage smudge works wonders for mosquitoes. It's a Blackfoot military secret 😅
Bahaha. I'll let my husband know that. 😂
You can use the plastic lids and not have to worry about the vinegar corroding the lid.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Yup! I have been slowly buying enough to replace my metal lids. I always like to share the parchment paper method though just in case folks don't have the plastic ones.
Thanks I just recently went to plastic and did use your suggestion on the plastic between the lid and jar. Worked wonders!
Amazing! Thanks for your lesson. I’m new to all of this.
My pleasure. Thank you for your kind words and I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Wonderful and informative video, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I learned something new today, I always thought it was best to steep the herbs in the raw AVC and then add the honey after straining the herbs. Can you please explain your method and process a bit more? May God always Bless you with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. and again, thank you so much. ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_09.25.2023~
Truthfully, I don't really have a rhyme or reason for what I do. Honey, just like ACV is, is an medium of extraction (meaning it helps to pull out medicines just like the vinegar does). So in my mind it makes a more well rounded medicine to use both at the same time. BUT if you ask a hundred herbalists how to do something you'll get 101 different answers. 😂
this helps heal dormant autoimmune disease activated by the vaccine. As someone in constant pain since the mandate of vaccines, my stomach is being destroyed for the past year, I really need to get my hands on this herb. thank you
I'm not sure where you are located, but check out Richters Herbs because they have both plants and seeds! I am so very sorry to hear about the damage caused by the medicinal interventions forced upon so many. I wish you well on your healing journey.
I got this prunella growing like weeds in my yard they spread easy by seeds and the goldfinches love to eat the seeds
I have seen the birds visiting mine as well. I have been trying to harvest clumps and moving them to portions of the property where it's okay if we let the mowing go a bit so they can grow to their full height/potential.
Super informative! Thank you!
Thank you for watching 💙
we are east of winnipeg we live in the swamp, we make bug stuff. we only use what grows on our farm . as plants become ready to harvest we keep adding. we use on all people and dogs with no issues.
I love that! Using what you have. Have you found certain plants that work well?
THis summer I found mosquito dunks for those pesky critters- you put one in a bucket of water about every 100 feet and that attracts the mosquitos to lay eggs... but surprise! The dunk donuts contain bacteria that geed on the larva so they never mature! They have cut down the skeeters on my property significantly; however, they do not last 30 days as claimed. I found them on ebay but probably on amazon as well.
I was curious if I could find some that are not toxic. I will hunt for them! Thanks for the tip.
PERFECT !!! What a great find. ?? I live by a creek .. I need something like this to use while I’m out in my backyard in the late afternoon. Pretty dry here but I still have mosquitos. ??? 😮😮
Very interesting herb. Do you filter the herb after it’s processing time? And then store in an eye dropper bottle like tinctures? Or do you just scoop a teaspoon of herb and honey or however much you want and swallow like a dose of cough medicine?
I am very interested in what you said about spider veins/varicose veins. Is this used topical for veins? And I’m sure you would make a poultice or something of that nature for veins? Maybe not? Am going to go checkout your book. Thanks.
Thank you for leaving a comment! I tend to process things when I need them, letting them macerate with the herbs in it for as long as possible (this cuts down on oxidation). Depending on what it is, I will then store it in amber bottles and then transfer smaller amounts to dropper bottles yes!
I'm not able to provide specific medical advice without Health Canada getting their knickers in a twist... but I can say that with varicose veins you want to treat them both internally (tincture/tea) and topically (with a poultice ideally).
Thank you again!
I have a natural comfrey salve that I make , that works for mosquitos amazingly well. It is basically just a routine balm ( recipes are online) i use for healing , skin irritations minor bruises and cuts. It is made with shea butter , olive oil or coconut oil and bees wax. I use essential oils which are as follows : frankincense, lavender, and a few drops of lemon essential oils. I found out what a good mosquito repellent this was after being stranded in florida after a hurricane ( Irma) and getting flooded into a hotel with no power at all for over a week. Everyone was getting so many mosquito bites... except me. I realized the salve was the only thing it could be. If used on a baby or person with a lot of skin allergies, I would do a small patch test on the skin before applying all over the body. It softens too! (I don't think you would need the comfrey if there's none available, to repel the mosquitos, but im not sure about that, I think its the oils) It works 100% for me !
Thank you so much for sharing that insight and story. I would never have considered comfrey for mosquito repellent, but now I want to try it! I have so much on my property.
@@SpiraeaHerbs Your'e so welcome! My use of it was a happy accident for mosquitos! It has to have the essential oils in it too, it wont work for mosquitos without it.
Thieves oil does work for mosquitos, but Ive also heard that dog fennel will work. I love the smell of dog fennel. I use my own personal mixture of thieves' oil.
Thieves oil works pretty well yes! But I don't find it as effective against ticks. I like adding in geranium or rose geranium for that.
@@SpiraeaHerbs ThankYou for Answering! It seems rare these days to have someone answer to our reply! Thanx
I’ve never heard of dog fennel before..does it grow where you live ? Is that it’s true name. ? I’m gonna look it up .. thank you for your post.. I just love reading peoples comments everywhere. !! ❤
@@SpiraeaHerbsi there.. love listening to you as I myself love talking about what I do with my lemon balm n mullein n mints etc.. can’t do too much but I have had a lot of wonderful healing with my mullein especially after suffering from very bad smoke inhalation.. I live in northern calif., I’m here in Sonoma county, Santa Rosa, n we had 4/5 years of fires in a row. It’s been very hard but one year during the worst part of this one fire I was soo exhausted I left my window open n woke in the morning not being able to breathe.. because I’ve a history of asthma I knew not to do panic breathing as I call it. I had to do small breaths in a methodical way.. I made mullein tea n had a few other teas .. I also used essential oils to breathe.. ravensara n eucalyptus radiata .. I used a lot of mullein tho… the mullein tea made it so I could cough up all the crud in my lungs.. I didn’t even know I had anything in my lungs so I was blown away by that!! so I bought seeds on eBay n I dispersed them on my driveway where I grow other things n I thought I had made the wrong decision in where I put them.. but next year they started growing … this year I’ve got several with those stately spikes they put out.. now I’ll have continual plants.. isnt it awesome to have all of these wonderful herbs we can use to help ourselves ?? I never tire of them.. nice to see you here .. I just found you this am .. rock on lady. !! 🎉
@@LJAG77 Dog fennel grows most places in the southern states. Smells like, well its hard to describe. It is unique.
Detoxifying plant
You betcha it is!
I always add my honey first, then herbs, then vinegar.
Good tip!
Citronella plants help and they grow fast they help repel mosquitoes
I have tried it and they do take the edge off!
The kitchen thing I can't get rid of is .y great great great grandmas noodle bowl that my family have mixed up home made noodle dough in. It's got a crack and all kinds of rough spots but it's still together
Family pieces have a special place in our heart! I can understand now wanting to part with it.
I came upon this video by happenstance, and looked up "boline knife" in Wikipedia. The information I found is quite interesting.
I'm so glad. Thank you for watching 💙
Mine is the biolite coffee pot with the partially melted lid which works as a great cooking pot
Fantastic! I love Biolite's products (as a side note).
@@SpiraeaHerbs I love their coffee pot which has many uses, and their early generation battery banks are weather resistant and very good I did not find the early generation stoves to be more than very expensive toys that could not withstand more than 6 months of 2018 florida. However my coffee pot and french press besides the lid are wonderful
@@songoftheblackunicorn666 I was looking at their stoves a while back, but the reviews I read were mixed at the time. We have a few of their lights and they have lasted quite a while though. And we do have their home system too (which reminds me to charge up that battery!).
Tattler reusable lids are great for herbalist. No worry about rusting.
That's a great suggestion! Thank you.
Hi there. I’ve never heard of tattler reusable lids? Definitely going to look that up n see what they’re all about now ..
Do you keep out for the 6 weeks or fridge it?
I can't remember what I made in this video... tinctures? Oxymel? Either way I do not refrigerate either of them.
My B.E.R.P. oil for skin.
Bay
Eucalyptus
Rosemary
Pennyroyal
Pack in canning jar, add oil, pinch of salt, sit in dark place & shake 8 weeks, strain.
Lovely combination! Curious about the salt? Could you tell me more about why you use it?
Thank you so much for this! Im just getting into foraging within the last few months and this was my first oxymel! Can i add more honey after it sits if i find its not sweet enough for me? And also, would i be able to add more prunella vularia flowers say i find more at a later date?
You can definitely add more honey after you strain everything out. You can also add more flowers, but the only potential challenge is that your jar wouldn't be full... That might result in some oxidation. Personally if it were me, I would just make multiple small batches and combine them when you are ready to strain/press your herbs.
My wonky kitchen aid is my one favorite knife. I won’t use anything else. ✨☺️✨
I am attached to a few items that way too!
Could you do one on Lymes Disease. Would this help to clear the Lymph to help in that? Justin Rhodes in the US is declining- has tried oxygen treatments - and now he’s losing his hands motor abilities, his nerves are in trouble. Ayurvedic teaches all disease starts in the Lymph. Just a thought.
I believe Rosemary Gladstar (is that right?) Recommnded Anise oil 2oz water and 2oz alcohol or Witch hazel with 40 drops Anize Oil. They hate the smell of Anise. Never see it in natural bug sprays. Up north mosquitoes are worse than here. Many advertise Skeeterhawk zappers. Research those they can strap on you and multiple types to place in your environment.
This was really helpful so as Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home Medicine for permanent cure for Lupus disease, yes Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home thank you 🙏..
This is ALL OVER my yard this year. I've dried some and tinctured some. Still to come is infused oil and, after watching this, maybe an oxymel. Do you think it would be redundant? I only make for my family.
This was really helpful so as Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home Medicine for permanent cure for Lupus disease, yes Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home thank you 🙏..
I made a self heal oxymel after watching another channel. Just found yours. Neither of you showed washing/ drying the plants. I didn’t , then another person/channel did wash. I shook mine and lightly snapped it on my table to shake out very tiny ants. I worked over a white towel so I could see them come out. Then I put whole flowers and pieces in. Made the oxymel , dated and stored. Where can I get that knife , and do you wash first?
This is a great question. I do not wash my plant material first. I am very picky about where I harvest my plants from to ensure they are not exposed to any chemical, sprays, pesticides etc. that I do not want in my medicine.
I do however shake them like you did to ensure I don't get any added "protein" in my medicine in the form of bugs.
Everyone has personal opinions about washing. The reason I avoid it is because it waters down your medicine. If you wait for them to dry... which takes a very long time... then you have plant material that is no longer as fresh and vibrant.
Hope that helps!
Hello Darling, (husband please don't take offense.,I'm 65, no pun intended.) I'm enjoying your video. I'm liking that u seem well informed. You made a comment about Mosquitoes, Jewel weed, is commonly found around marshy enviros. This is for external uses only, if u can find this Jewel weed, yellow looking outside, orange to red interior. This plant is known to repel insects, by rubbing it on your skin, also Fleabane, is used as an insect repellent. Thank you for asking, I will want to learn more from you knowledgeable videos. Brthrn Jeff B.
Do you sell this herb shown in this video
I have it available in clinic to my clients, but I do not sell it over the counter. Depending on where you are located I would check out Harmonic Arts or Mountain Rose Herbs!

New to foraging… we have a ton of Prunella in my woods right now. As an alcohol-free fam, we’ll definitely do oxymel. When you say “press” before using, could you elaborate, please? I think I know what you mean, but want to be sure!
Oh absolutely! Pressing simply refers to the straining out of herb material. But in order to get the highest yield you can, most people squeeze it in cheese cloth or use a tool like a potato ricer or juice press. Hope that helps!
Oh my! That was all over the place in my last house (in the yard of course). None to be found now that I actually know what it is.
Isn't that always how it is! You could order plants and naturalize it on your current property though.
@@SpiraeaHerbs yes! I ordered some seed since I was getting some for other things.
I have an effective mosquito combo that I made into a spray...half the town now uses it, but due to allergic examples still not done testing so won't be sharing it yet...key ingredients lemon,lavender, citronella and lemon balm...best I can do for now
It's so nice that you are helping your neighbours! I hope your testing works out well and that it's effective for you.
Try adding the vinegar first. The honey blocks flow.
Yes I have switched it up now... I actually tend to alternate between the two and that works well.
Is there any air between the paper and the product or does it have to be full to the top of the jar next to the paper?
Very little air. I try to fill all the way to the top if possible to reduce oxidation.
for moskitos - shower off persperation then apply diluted lavender oil to skin, no more than 5 drops per 10ml carrier oil, apply 5-8 drops to an essential oil burner for moskitos inside the home. Thanks for video, what about mascerating heal all in oil to apply to the skin? Could you also dry the leaves and flowers in the microwave to make tea. or dry naturally?
I don't own a microwave, so I would dry them the old fashioned way. But yes, you can dry them for tea. And I have made heal-all oil before as well. All good uses for it.
I added elderberry tincture and sugar to make mine shelf stable
Oh that is a neat combination! I bet it tastes great.
@@SpiraeaHerbs its not as good as the elderberry syrup that needs refrigerated only because it has 25% tincture but is very palatable 🙂
Do you sell seeds? I'm working on making an herb garden. Love your channel I'm definitely subscribing. Also do you sale herbs?
This was really helpful so as Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home Medicine for permanent cure for Lupus disease, yes Dr Oseghale Sunday Herbal Home thank you 🙏..
Amazon sells many edible wild seeds and teas.
What kind of sunlight does it prefer to grow in direct or can it grow in the shade like purple dead nettle?
It definitely wants some sun. I would say anything from part to full sun would be best.
I harvest heal all and ghost pipe every year. I am trying to propagate mullien this year. The heal all I dry and cut up into tea. The ghost pipe I tincture with high proof. Its pretty interesting. I am new to this.
I've never worked with ghost pipe, but its been on my radar for a while. Might have to explore it!
Good luck with the mullein. It is a biennial so you'll have to wait two years to harvest it, but it's worth it!
@@SpiraeaHerbs
Thank you. Ghost pipe is a special kind of gift. I don't take anti anxiety meds anymore because of it. Once a year I eat a flower and tincture the rest of what I harvest. (It tastes kind of like pepper) I only harvest 1/5 of what I find. It cannot be propagated. It has symbiotic and parasitic relations that are far too difficult to reproduce. It is truly a gift. I believe what you said about what you find is what you are going to need. Your information is very interesting. I live in the very NW of the states.
I purchased a Self Heal plant 2 years ago from a reputable herb farm, along with many other herbs, but my Self Heal doesn't look like what you have....just wondering if it has any medicinal qualities. I haven't used it for anything, and it overwinters well here in northern middle Tennessee. Is there a domesticated Self Heal herb that gardeners are cultivating?
That is always the challenge with common names. It sounds like you do not have Prunella vulgaris, but perhaps something closely related. Unfortunately I am not familiar with plants in your area so I cannot comment on its medicinal properties. If you happen to figure out to the botanical/Latin name, I might be able to direct you though.
You mentioned not pressing it for a year ? What is pressing? Thank you so much.
Pressing is the act of squeezing the alcohol out of the herbs and straining out the herb material. I tend to use a potato ricer for the 'pressing' part and then strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Hope that helps!
Not sure if anyone has asked but do you have any suggestions on storing the Mezzaluna?
I just keep it in a drawer! Usually with my other tincture making supplies (my scale and potato ricer). So I don't have any suggestions unfortunately. Sorry!
Hi, how does thisherb spread, do the seeds dispurse from the flower if left, and self grow thank u
Prunella spreads both by seed and by rhizome :)
How much and how ofter to take?
Due to strict Health Canada regulations and new rules put down by YT, I cannot tell you how to take any of the medicines I share via this channel. Providing medical advice without a clinical consultation could get me in trouble! I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
You said it has a square stem, correct? I have something in my yard that looks like this but it has a round stem. 🤔
Is there a look alike or different varieties?
I'll just leave it alone until I know more ☺️.
Yes Prunella is in the mint family and one of the key identifying features of the mint family is a square stem.
If you want to learn more about identifying herbs in the wild I would suggest checking out this video and getting an identification guide (like the one I mention in the video).

Hope this helps!
@@SpiraeaHerbs Okay, thanks!
Forgive a newby... At the end what did you mean by pressing it, and what do you do after you press it?
Welcome to the channel! Pressing means that we strain out the herb material, squeezing as much tincture (if that's what I made in this video... I can't remember) out as possible. So once all the herb material is removed you are left with just the tincture. Does that help?
You said the Self-Heal can stem bleeding....so I assume it thickens the platelets?
I am uncertain the exact mechanism by which herbs like Prunella and Achillea stem bleeding so I do not want to definitively say yes to that just in case I am incorrect. But thickening platelets is certainly one possibility. But I think it is more likely that as a antihemorrhagic, they are actually constricting the blood vessels which results in a slowing to stopping of blood flow from that particular area.
PS it is a delicious tea
Good to know! Thanks.
The plants I've found are in a remote area ,,,, averaging about 3 ft. tall ,,,, with 2 to 4 buds on them.
Prunella can get quite tall, but not that tall. I feel like you must have a different plant. What identification guides or plant apps have you used to try to narrow down your search?
It IS ,,,, self heal.
@@KeithC-zn6ck Well if you have positively identified it, that's awesome. Great find.
@@SpiraeaHerbs Found on virgin land. Never been cut...
@@KeithC-zn6ck That's a beautiful find!
We call it self heal in the uk
Yes that is a common name around here as well. But I have also heard folks refer to other plants as Self-Heal. It's why I always ensure we have the botanical name to go along with it too!
The flowers only bloom in late summer or early fall in the northeast, correct? I have two different types but I wish I knew exactly what type they are can't find much info on it at all.
Hi there! Sorry I missed your comment. Prunella vulgaris flowers in the first two weeks of July typically (here in Ontario). So if your plant is flowering later than that, you might have a different variety all together. I know some folks use Google Lens with some success at identifying plants. Another option is getting a good field guide. Good luck!
No worries I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I did just download a plant identifier app so I am going to see if there is a section that will tell me about varieties. I have 2 obviously different types that I kept indoors over the winter and the one has some very pretty purple on the stems and a tiny bit near the stem underneath the leaves as well, it's interesting, thanks again..☺
@@stardustxx278 Good luck! Let me know what you discover. I am always interested in hearing about plants in other areas.
Omg! Great video ❤did you say this herb is great for growing breast tissue . I was wondering do I apply topically along with oil to see results . Plz help !! 😊
Hi Sarahlee. My apologies for the delay in response. I don't alway get notifications of comments. Prunella is supportive of breast tissue due to its properties as a lymphatic. In this case, yes I would make a breast oil and apply topically.
I have a question ⁉️...l have a plant in my yard that looks like self heal but the leaves are more heart shaped than long. The flowers look to be the same as your video but the flowers on my plants are more reddish purple.... Are they the same plant. I live in East Tennessee.
Hi there! It's very hard for me to say without seeing a photo, but I would suspect not? I am not familiar with plants native to your area and I believe your climate is quite different from mine (I'm in Ontario). Perhaps it is a cousin or related species?
Probably dead nettle or henbit.
Self heal aka Heal all, Also use mullein….
Can you buy some of the seeds ❤I don't think I have any in my yard.
Absolutely. I know the medicinal greenhouse in my area, Richters Herbs, has seeds, but I bet a lot of other companies do too. Just ensure that you are getting Prunella vulgaris when you buy them!
