I know I commented last year, but I want to thank you once again for being a guiding light to me on my herbalist journey. I just began making videos again on my channel, and have just begun school for Wildlife Conservation. Your videos have led me on this beautiful path that I am now embarking on. Keep shining your light because you are inspiring many! Soon, there will be a wave of naturalists that will heal all on Earth. I continue to make videos in honor of my teachers, and you are one of them. Sending all of the love and light in the universe. -Jack
I agree- he is a amazing! I’m training as herbalist and I’m so happy! I checked out your channel and it looks brilliant so I subscribed. Keep doing your videos too! 🌿
@@jenthomas7825 thank you so much Jen! And congratulations on your own herbalist journey! It’s amazing to see how many people are walking down this path. Such a rewarding and healing journey! Thank you for your support ❤️❤️
Weird, I saw this video and thought of the one you did on Mama Ganja, and quitting for at least a year. I still haven't quit, but I think about it. The overwhelm is real and potent. I won't rush out to harvest, but thank you for the information, and the gentle reminder that when we work with the root causes, everything falls into place.
This is one of my all time favorite go to herbs especially after a long day of work or a big hike. Making tea of the fresh plant creates such a relaxing and calming effect on the body, mind and spirit. I always carry a bottle of fresh plant tincture with me and recommend it to a lot of clients and friends for tension especially from the neckdown. Think of the person sitting at the computer all day or doing repetitive tasks where they are hunched over. Highly recommend but like Yarrow said please be respectful and only take what you need.
FYI -- in my experience, all of the Artemisia spp. would be safer to use (in terms of GRAS for plant-based remedies), and would have the same medicinal benefits that you describe. Thx for sharing this video - nice to see that u have that intention of service for sharing healing techniques with all of us. 💜
Funny, in my experience, having smoked both Artemisia vulgaris and Pedicularis sylvatica I find Pedicularis to have a much stronger, more noticeable and longer lasting effect in terms of its ability to calm and relax the muscles and nervous system. But hey…. just my opinion.
I enjoyed the video, but it would be much more helpful iif you would show a close-up of the plant to help us recognize it. Also, your suggestions for what parts to use was sketchy. At least you did make the video, reluctant though you may have been. So thanks. I watch lots of your videos, and am a long-time subscriber!
I'd love to see upclose pictures of this to make sure I properly identify the plant. I'm new to this journey. But I've had a very deep sense of being lost in our busy, Kaos, and that sense if TO MUCH BUSY! I am on a journey with plants. Medicinal use, the connection to nature, and finding inner peace!! Thank you for your videos. I'm going out to search for Mullin plants today.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I live in Kamloops and we go way up in the highlands. I will be looking for this. You have no idea how wonderful it is to have this shared in my own province let alone country. Blessings.
I am very glad you mentioned "if you're not dealing with the root cause of the anxiety then you are missing the mark" because even though I am scanning over herbal videos to achieve this effect, I am aware that the root cause to disease are indeed emotional and need to be felt and released from the soul before they stop affecting the body... That said, it's still a difficult practice for me to feel emotions that I have been trained to suppress and avoid since the day my parents began telling me to stop crying and basically initiated the emotional blocks that are creating the diseases/pains I am now discovering, so I appreciate someone who is sharing this knowledge which I am finding quite difficult to come across (no surprise due to the fear global industries have of loosing their position of control via supply and demand big pharma)
Yes, we need to get at the root issue of our Anxiety which is caused by trauma. Or we can go beyond the mind and ego and transcend it. Both methods work. I prefer the latter because it's gets at the root of all human suffering, the mind! The cause of all our suffering is the mind. If we had no mind, there would be no suffering. That's why I love Meditation and I love that State of 'No mind ' and Flow. Herbals and plants are also good and are there if we need the help.
@@andrewortiz5797 well, I know that is what you believe, but it is not true. I can verify that the root cause to our disease and pain is from keeping energy-in-motion trapped inside of our soul. That is not our mind. But we stay trapped in our mind because it is the place we like hiding from our emotions that we suppressed from childhood. We do this because our parents tell us to stop crying, little do they know they then just closed our ability to release negative emotions, and introduced fear of crying into us. Do you see why I am disagreeing with you now? The mind is not the cause, it is the hiding place. If we want to get to the cause and address the root problem, we need to begin allowing ourselves to feel every feeling that arises, and express those feelings. Anger can be expressed responsibility by punching a rice bag or shouting loudly. Fear can only be accessed if we stop our addictions, which we use to avoid the shaking or feeling of terror that comes with fear. And grief I find quite easy, but can be difficult to allow yourself to cry when infront of other people, but every time we suppress a feeling, pain is the result. And the longer we keep these negative energies inside, the more they will manifest as disease or pain.
@@TruthIsLove. I somewhat agree with you. Most people surpress their emotions and it's best to experience the feelings and let the energy burn itself up. Anxiety for example is energy. That's one method. But there are other methods and not just one way. Another method is not a doing but a 'seeing'. It's seeing the mind for what it is, just mere illusions. Ever since we were children, our parents and friends and schools and tv and radio and religion and societal norms and taboos and traumatic experiences have created within us a false identity called the ego. Which is a self construct based off of social conditioning. For example, no one is born a Christian or a Muslim or gay or an addict or a republican or a democrat and no one is born a loser or wicked or an addict etc... These are all false Identities we take upon ourselves they social conditioning. They are just stories. Meditation and Contemplation allows one to go beyond the mind and to see Life as it is without all the mental stories and beliefs. Physical Reality exists. The ground can be touched and we see the trees and the sun and we can touch things. However negative thoughts and imaginations cannot be proven to exist. Negative thoughts and stories of the mind cannot be proven to exist unlike physical Reality. So negative thoughts and imaginations and fear and sadness, are just illusions. When we think they are real, it effects our bodies and that's called emotions. Emotions can be felt in the body as shaking or tight chest etc... By feeling the emotions, the energy burns up or one could go beyond the mind and see it for what it is. The mind can be our friend or it could be our enemy. We need the mind to function on this earth but we are the masters of our mind. We can't choose what thoughts pop up in our mind but we can choose to react to or not react to them. We can use the mind for self constructive purposes or for self defeating purposes. We are not our thoughts however we are The Observer of our thoughts. Awareness.
@@andrewortiz5797 there are many things I agree with, and stand at odds with some other things that perhaps the meaning of the words we are using could perhaps mean the same thing but are used differently e.g. the use of the word mind, and to help us benefit from this interaction, if you're willing, I would like to explain further using how we can take things from Gods perspective using absolute terms that we can both agree upon so we can both grow from this conversation. You interested in hearing what I mean exactly? Because if you're happy with what you know and understand and have no desire to understand my perspective, then I am happy to agree to disagree about the mind being an illusion.
@@TruthIsLove. yes I'm open to reasoning. I don't like apolegetics or debates because I think they are profitless. I'm a freethinker and am very open minded and am even wrong sometimes about certain things because I'm human. However one of my duties is not to attack other people's beliefs but one of my duties is to challenge their belief systems and get them to see that God is Bigger than our ideologies and Bigger than Religion and Greater than our understanding. I myself, am a Worshipper of God and have a relationship with God. God is very important in my Life. I'm not a Christian ( I used to be a very religious christian) or ascribe to any religion. Are you christian?? Psalm 46:10 is a Powerful Verse. It says to Be Still and know that I Am God. To Be in The Moment is to be in God, for God is The Moment. God Is Life! In Him do we Live and move and have our Being (Acts 17). Jesus said The Kingdom of Heaven is Within. We are all One with each other and One with God! Jesus prayed that His disciples and future disciples would know this Oneness. This is what I understood from Jesus and His Teaching's. Jesus definitely knew Deep Spiritual Truths but most christians misinterpreted His Teachings and take them Literally, so then a new religion becomes formed . If your Christian, awesome. Whatever works for you. I judge no one's way of Life if it makes them a better human being. All religions are pointing to God. God however is Beyond all human understanding. So it's true what many say, That God is Bigger than Religion and Bigger than theology (head knowledge). God cannot be intellectualized or reasoned. God has to be Felt and Personally Experienced thru A Direct Spiritual Experience. God Is Love so therefore God cannot be hate. Gods Ways are Higher than our ways and His Thoughts Higher than our Thoughts. Religion can help lead one to God if rightly discerned because religion often causes wars and hatred and bloodshed and division. Religion's that cause it's followers to kill others or to hate others is certainly not from God. Religion has helped many to Find God and many also Find God without religion or thru different Methods. Whatever leads one to a Better Life and to Peace and Joy. I don't understand why Humans argue over God? God is not something to be argued over because God is beyond anything our puny limited human minds can comprehend.
I haven’t been getting your videos in my feed for a long time and this could not have come at a better time in my life!! I believe I was meant to see it specifically today!! Thank You Yarrow! I will be searching for it! ❤️
Thank you so much for this info this sounds exactly like something that would help me with my PTSD and panic attacks I need to calm down I got took myself off all my harmful medication that they were trying to kill me with, I live in Florida so I will be looking to see where I can get it from grow it and hopefully start making some tea 👍💜
@@meganashworthhartlen6685 I'm on the hunt too. If you find some, can you please let me know because I'd appreciate it and I'll do the same for you too. Good luck!!!
For native plants, I only harvest from patches I tend to which usually means buying local ecotypes from a native nursery and starting a patch in an area where I clear non-natives from. As herbalists we should be growing our own, especially if it is a native plant! We can't be extractive and continue to deplete stressed ecosystems. Grow it if you want to use it is my motto
eat more garlic and onions... and rub any mint oil on your arms, and legs, from the feet to the knees. This will help with the mosquitoes and other bugs. Thank you for your generosity!
Well heck! Talk about anxiety! I just woke up and started watching this. I saw your dog and for a minute I thought it was a black bear and got so scared for you for a nano second! Guess I need some pedicularis right now!
Beautiful video as usual. I use cannabis for insomnia and I'm so grateful for it. Every 6 months or so I take a "holiday" to reduce my tolerance to this fine medicine. I'm looking for herbs that can help me reduce pain and anxiety before bed so sleep comes more reliably. Perhaps making a salve of this would be helpful as a topical for pain. My guess is that my body is in pain so it wakes me and keeps me sleeping light as I struggle to find comfortable positions during the night. I think there are others as well.
WOW 😳, this is a new one to me! I'm going to have to try that flower for sure. If it works for me I will share about my experiences. I wouldn't mind trying it for my anxiety. I'm a minimalist when it comes to most drugs. My idea or opinion is that medicine works better if you aren't using it frequently or abusing it. Like a lot of things. Moderation is a wonderful guideline! I quit drinking alcohol 5 months ago and won't touch another drop. Even refused cough syrup with alcohol in it besides all the other nasty stuff in it. Au naturel mes amis! Peace, love, and happiness to you Yarrow Willard aka Herbal Jedi! ❤️👍🏽😁👍🏽👣🦅🪶
Will be doing my due diligence to see if can find it in my area. It sounds like it would be excellent for my hubs who is in pain all the time and also has social anxiety issues. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🥰
Hi, great channel! Can you tell me if this is habit forming in any way? I don't use intoxicants of any kind and try to avoid anything to which I might develop a tolerance as it's a slippery slope. But I also struggle with chronic pain and would welcome something like this if it could help without getting me "high" or making me want more. My liver is pretty upset with my acetaminophen consumption, so any tips for making it happier are also welcome. I chew willow bark sometimes to give it a break. Thanks!
I could really use this. How can I make this into a tea or salve. I also have extreme restless. Fibro-ra- shorten,and more which cause bad anxiety and no sleep. Need help
Hi , awesome educational videos, I really enjoy them. Hop is one of my favorite plants. Question to you: Would you recommend it to pregnant women? if yes in what form and dose? thanks in advance
A combination of mugwort, yarrow flower, and damiana make a decent alternative to cannabis. Ten fresh seeds from the witch pepper (datura) is also very calming, but 50 or more seeds will be a wretched, grueling experience (and perhaps deadly) so do not over-do it. Ginger tea can be pretty calming, tbh. Going outside to pick your own medicine can be pretty calming. Kratom helped me get off cannabis, but some people have found kratom to be even more habit forming than weed; the white-veined seem less addictive than the red-veined. Kratom inhibits various liver enzymes, which may increase your sensitivity to other drugs and environmental toxins. If you do a lot of drugs or work in hazardous conditions (where your body has to break down a lot of pollutants) kratom is probably a bad choice. Kratom is a very cool plant if you respect it. When I do it, I rarely do more than 5g in a day, usually half that.
My doctor has it listed as an opiate in my medical chart, because it hits some of the same receptors. I asked her to remove that notation, because it makes me sounds like an opiate seeker. She wont, and i gave up. They always put things in my record i dont agree with, and nothing from what i said, at least not accurately. I still like it, but don't use it as often as i used to, because it caused me to become dehydrated to the point of pain, and it isnt reliable for some types of pain. Imwas absolutely using too much at the time so i could do my physical job. Ive learned and graduated to other more nourishing herbs for pain management and anxiety. Its a wonderful journey learning about these amazing plants.
Always love your videos Yarrow. Is there any chance you know where seeds can be purchased for growing? Or, any chance you want to harvest some and sell? I also appreciate any advice other Herbal Jedi fans have to offer. Thanks again for your great videos. Keep up the good work!
I just scrolled through the comments and saw someone else was asking about seeds too. Yarrow responded he didn't know and suggested wild stands. WIth that said, I have not found it in my area. Again, anyone's suggestions are welcome. Thanks !!!
Hey man thank you for sharing. I was just thinking last night I really need to slow my cannabis smoking. My tolerance is through the roof I’ve been smoking for 20 straight years pretty much daily. And when I don’t smoke I have this unhappy depression I guess that follows me around. Hopefully I can find a little bit of this to help with the gloominess. It only lasts two or three days and then I’m fine. I don’t think I will need that much of this herb so it should all work out really well. In 20 years of smoking yes I have taken 30 day cleanses once a year. And it’s always the first week that I just feel almost sad that I’m not smoking cannabis anyways I’m gonna try it out. I’m sure it can’t hurt to take a little bit to try. thanks for sharing again. 🤙🏻
foods that are high in magnesium are very good for anxiety and the frontal lobe wont shut off bi-polar issues. Magnesium will affect the over-active frontal lobe just like THC. without filling the lungs with tar. I take magnesium at least 4 times/day because I cant get the herbs. EDIT: see my answer below for very important info about magnesium.
@@nv6679 Magnesium "quick fixes" dark chocolate at least 70% you can go lower like the 69% but the lower you go the less magnesium there is. Peanut butter, peanuts, cashews, almonds, yogurt, squash/pumpkin seeds - most seeds will help, lime beans, tuna, avocado, banana, whole grains, brown rice, spinach/leafy greens, mineral water. thats everything on my "quick" list. Magnesium supplements also. I take the ones that have magnesium, calcium, zinc & Vit D all in one. Walmart 'Spring Valley' or Dollar General 'Rexall Naturalist' brands. Just follow the serving size amt - I take it 4 times/day like a prescription mostly because the green foods are being killed off by the radiation/5Gtowers and I dont have enough money for these grocery stores. MY first dose is with my first cuppa in the morning. Magnesium oxide will cause you to have the runs every morning if you begin taking it. Magnesium stearate does not, but its a slower release than the oxide & if you're like me, you want the relief right now, not later. having your intestines cleaned out every morning isnt such a bad thing - just have the febreze close to hand!! 😆😆🙃😉 *WARNING* MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTS WILL KNOCK YOU OUT - DO NOT DRIVE THE FIRST FEW DAYS WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE!!! if you havent been sleeping - you will! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥💖💖
@@nv6679 glad to help. sometimes that headache is from allergies or needing to eat. You'll learn the different places those things make your forehead hurt and will learn what to do thru repetition. bi-polar is on the autism spectrum and we dont eat very well. many are hypoglycemic and dont know it.
Hello Herbal Jedi, Loving your content day by day. I am a medicinal/ aromatic plants farmer from India. I also have a steam distillation plant to extract essential oils from plants. Is there any high profit herbal plant/crop you can suggest that I can farm and export the essential oil in USA ?
Hi! I am wanting to start learning all about herbals around me in Smokey Mountains TN. So, I can't wait to see if I got some if that beauty around me but I did come across Jewelweed, Goldenrod and also Veronia(Ironweed); which is what I needed help with....There are several Veronia species and how do I kniw which is safe for me to use for tincture? Thank and definitely will be following you❤
Thank you for such a lovely video Yarrow. I was just about to purchase this online yet hesitated...with a bit of research learning it is a hemi-parastic plant. Can you explain more as to what that means? I am a bit unsure how to know how to find a safe reputable source for this plant. Thanks again!
Alot of people develop pot allergies now, from newbies to older users. Could be environment issues, but smart to have a variety of tools ifcu have anxiety or use pot for another purpose like pain.
Would this grow in Ontario? I imagine it would. Also, I'm not much into making tinctures so making teas is really what I do most with either fresh leaves and/or stems and/or flowers or teas with dried leaves and/or stems and/or flowers, etc., so can this be used in a tea (flowers/stems/leaves)?
Lovely, valuable video, thank you. I'm at about 3000' in the Sierra Foothills with lots of manzanita around but very little water after June; would I be likely to find this in my locale?
For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called the hidden herbs by anette ray should be your top priority
Another thing people can do when they are gathering,is collect seeds and help the plant spread.
Just listening to you takes anxiety away…for me anyways…I love your calm

I started smoking CBD hemp and it's helped me cut down on THC consumption! Makes me feel more balanced and happier!
That’s interesting
Smoke 💨 em if you got ‘em
magnesium will help you not put any tar substance in your lungs. see my comment above & my answer to NV.
You can also eat salmon and/or fish oil capsules....omega 3s are converted into cbd naturally by our bodies and it's much cheaper than buying cbd
Where do you get that if you dont mind me asking, ild like to try thst as well.

Thank you so much for this info this sounds exactly like something that would help me with my PTSD and panic attacks I need to calm down I got took myself off all my harmful medication that they were trying to kill me with, I live in Florida so I will be looking to see where I can get it from grow it and hopefully start making some tea 👍💜
Never heard of this, but since it comes from a different particular region, not surprised. Looking forward to using this.
Harvesting rule of thumb. Don't take more than one out of seven plants. Take one, leave six. That's sustainable.
Interesting. I will look into this more. Thanks for the education and promotion of conservation.
Welcome back!!
Thanks. I don't smoke anything (tinctures). Been buying local tinctures from an organic vegetable farm. B.C.🇨🇦
I have known so much herbs because of you bless you
Thank you yarrow. Going to see if I can find seeds to grow and share pedicularis!
Not proving to be so easy! Will try to contact you maybe you could send seeds?🙏🏽
@@meganashworthhartlen6685 I'm on the hunt too. If you find some, can you please let me know because I'd appreciate it and I'll do the same for you too. Good luck!!!
I’m in NZ and really wish it was here...sounds like a herb I would love to grow in my medicine patch.
Lovely video I always learn so much
@herbal Jedi welcome back!
Thank you for taking time
For native plants, I only harvest from patches I tend to which usually means buying local ecotypes from a native nursery and starting a patch in an area where I clear non-natives from. As herbalists we should be growing our own, especially if it is a native plant! We can't be extractive and continue to deplete stressed ecosystems. Grow it if you want to use it is my motto
It’s been quite some time since I’ve tuned in so great to see your posts once again…thank you for sharing your knowledge stay well stay blessed…
eat more garlic and onions... and rub any mint oil on your arms, and legs, from the feet to the knees. This will help with the mosquitoes and other bugs. Thank you for your generosity!
I'm looking forward to learning all that I can. Incredible channel!
Thank you for making this video. I am trying to learn all I can about herbs to get away from prescriptions. I will definitely research this more.
Perfect timing, thank you🌱💜🙏
Well heck! Talk about anxiety! I just woke up and started watching this. I saw your dog and for a minute I thought it was a black bear and got so scared for you for a nano second! Guess I need some pedicularis right now!
I had a case of poison ivy. Made tea from pedicularis & this really made me feel better
Beautiful video as usual. I use cannabis for insomnia and I'm so grateful for it. Every 6 months or so I take a "holiday" to reduce my tolerance to this fine medicine. I'm looking for herbs that can help me reduce pain and anxiety before bed so sleep comes more reliably. Perhaps making a salve of this would be helpful as a topical for pain. My guess is that my body is in pain so it wakes me and keeps me sleeping light as I struggle to find comfortable positions during the night. I think there are others as well.
try edible cannabis
So happy to see you again! Thanks for the new herbal wisdom video.
anxiety does stress and tightness the nerves so a relaxing effect is needed physically also
You look great Yarrow! Hope you’re doing even better!!
WOW 😳, this is a new one to me! I'm going to have to try that flower for sure. If it works for me I will share about my experiences. I wouldn't mind trying it for my anxiety. I'm a minimalist when it comes to most drugs. My idea or opinion is that medicine works better if you aren't using it frequently or abusing it. Like a lot of things. Moderation is a wonderful guideline! I quit drinking alcohol 5 months ago and won't touch another drop. Even refused cough syrup with alcohol in it besides all the other nasty stuff in it. Au naturel mes amis! Peace, love, and happiness to you Yarrow Willard aka Herbal Jedi! ❤️👍🏽😁👍🏽👣🦅🪶
Plz tell the name of hirb?
Thank you for sharing this. Funny how the universe sends you what you need when you need it :)
*Love* 2 za Yarrow! Blessed by blessing.
You are so wonderful 💞
Thank you! Maybe you could do another vid on the wild lettuces??
Thanks Yarrow! Love your knowledge of plants.
Thanks for the Calm
Great advice. Thank you
I dont have that in my country,am from the caribbean,we use soursop leaves as a tea for anxiety,mint or chamomile
Will be doing my due diligence to see if can find it in my area. It sounds like it would be excellent for my hubs who is in pain all the time and also has social anxiety issues. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🥰
Hi, great channel! Can you tell me if this is habit forming in any way? I don't use intoxicants of any kind and try to avoid anything to which I might develop a tolerance as it's a slippery slope. But I also struggle with chronic pain and would welcome something like this if it could help without getting me "high" or making me want more. My liver is pretty upset with my acetaminophen consumption, so any tips for making it happier are also welcome. I chew willow bark sometimes to give it a break. Thanks!
As far as your liver goes, one thing you should look into is milk thistle.
@@SkyquakeWolf Thanks, I will.
The tree4theforests 😊 BlessUmyBrother 💜
Thank you kindly Yarrow 🙏💕
Might give this one a try, upto now magnesium glycinate has helped me the most with anxiety
Do all pedicularis grow in alpine ranges, asking for a southern ontarian ;)
blesses, and love what you do, b
I'm in southern Ontario too..
Thank you very much!
Thank you Yarrow
I could really use this. How can I make this into a tea or salve. I also have extreme restless. Fibro-ra- shorten,and more which cause bad anxiety and no sleep. Need help
Louisville Kentucky around the knobs I wouldn't know where to. Look if it grows in this area. I guess I need to research
There must be something to this herb. Hella difficult to find seeds online where I live. The mosquitos thank you for your service Yarrow 🙃
Which plant did you say that grows in the south east that works against anxiety?
Hi , awesome educational videos, I really enjoy them. Hop is one of my favorite plants.
Question to you:
Would you recommend it to pregnant women? if yes in what form and dose?
thanks in advance
A combination of mugwort, yarrow flower, and damiana make a decent alternative to cannabis. Ten fresh seeds from the witch pepper (datura) is also very calming, but 50 or more seeds will be a wretched, grueling experience (and perhaps deadly) so do not over-do it. Ginger tea can be pretty calming, tbh. Going outside to pick your own medicine can be pretty calming.
Kratom helped me get off cannabis, but some people have found kratom to be even more habit forming than weed; the white-veined seem less addictive than the red-veined. Kratom inhibits various liver enzymes, which may increase your sensitivity to other drugs and environmental toxins. If you do a lot of drugs or work in hazardous conditions (where your body has to break down a lot of pollutants) kratom is probably a bad choice. Kratom is a very cool plant if you respect it. When I do it, I rarely do more than 5g in a day, usually half that.
My doctor has it listed as an opiate in my medical chart, because it hits some of the same receptors. I asked her to remove that notation, because it makes me sounds like an opiate seeker. She wont, and i gave up. They always put things in my record i dont agree with, and nothing from what i said, at least not accurately.
I still like it, but don't use it as often as i used to, because it caused me to become dehydrated to the point of pain, and it isnt reliable for some types of pain. Imwas absolutely using too much at the time so i could do my physical job. Ive learned and graduated to other more nourishing herbs for pain management and anxiety. Its a wonderful journey learning about these amazing plants.
Always love your videos Yarrow. Is there any chance you know where seeds can be purchased for growing? Or, any chance you want to harvest some and sell? I also appreciate any advice other Herbal Jedi fans have to offer.
Thanks again for your great videos. Keep up the good work!
I just scrolled through the comments and saw someone else was asking about seeds too. Yarrow responded he didn't know and suggested wild stands. WIth that said, I have not found it in my area. Again, anyone's suggestions are welcome. Thanks !!!
I would imagine that strictly medicinal might have seeds
live in Maine so ........... none here but lots of yarrow !!
Where can I get some of this?
Hey man thank you for sharing. I was just thinking last night I really need to slow my cannabis smoking. My tolerance is through the roof I’ve been smoking for 20 straight years pretty much daily. And when I don’t smoke I have this unhappy depression I guess that follows me around. Hopefully I can find a little bit of this to help with the gloominess. It only lasts two or three days and then I’m fine. I don’t think I will need that much of this herb so it should all work out really well. In 20 years of smoking yes I have taken 30 day cleanses once a year. And it’s always the first week that I just feel almost sad that I’m not smoking cannabis anyways I’m gonna try it out. I’m sure it can’t hurt to take a little bit to try. thanks for sharing again. 🤙🏻
Cut out meat eat organic fruits and vegs More sun exercise Lack of thc wont even affect u
Cannabis has went to shit since govt got involved. Be careful trusting them, everything they touch has been known to harm.
Yarrow, you are the best healing herb. Or should l say, himb. tee-hee.
I need a good herb/plant book to carry
to collect some things. TY for an alternative. Have a nice day today.
I’m in NY not sure if it’s around me . But sounding like I needs this .
I wish I could find this
foods that are high in magnesium are very good for anxiety and the frontal lobe wont shut off bi-polar issues. Magnesium will affect the over-active frontal lobe just like THC. without filling the lungs with tar. I take magnesium at least 4 times/day because I cant get the herbs. EDIT: see my answer below for very important info about magnesium.
Could you share the foods or supplements that help you?
@@nv6679 Magnesium "quick fixes" dark chocolate at least 70% you can go lower like the 69% but the lower you go the less magnesium there is. Peanut butter, peanuts, cashews, almonds, yogurt, squash/pumpkin seeds - most seeds will help, lime beans, tuna, avocado, banana, whole grains, brown rice, spinach/leafy greens, mineral water. thats everything on my "quick" list. Magnesium supplements also. I take the ones that have magnesium, calcium, zinc & Vit D all in one. Walmart 'Spring Valley' or Dollar General 'Rexall Naturalist' brands. Just follow the serving size amt - I take it 4 times/day like a prescription mostly because the green foods are being killed off by the radiation/5Gtowers and I dont have enough money for these grocery stores. MY first dose is with my first cuppa in the morning. Magnesium oxide will cause you to have the runs every morning if you begin taking it. Magnesium stearate does not, but its a slower release than the oxide & if you're like me, you want the relief right now, not later. having your intestines cleaned out every morning isnt such a bad thing - just have the febreze close to hand!! 😆😆🙃😉 *WARNING* MAGNESIUM SUPPLEMENTS WILL KNOCK YOU OUT - DO NOT DRIVE THE FIRST FEW DAYS WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE!!! if you havent been sleeping - you will! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥💖💖
I so much appreciate your help!
@@nv6679 glad to help. sometimes that headache is from allergies or needing to eat. You'll learn the different places those things make your forehead hurt and will learn what to do thru repetition. bi-polar is on the autism spectrum and we dont eat very well. many are hypoglycemic and dont know it.
Glycemic index doesn't rise on carnivore diet. Id say pretty high in magnesium as well
Hello Herbal Jedi,
Loving your content day by day.
I am a medicinal/ aromatic plants farmer from India. I also have a steam distillation plant to extract essential oils from plants.
Is there any high profit herbal plant/crop you can suggest that I can farm and export the essential oil in USA ?
I have found lactuca canadensis to be the strongest of the wild lettuce plants
Hi! I am wanting to start learning all about herbals around me in Smokey Mountains TN. So, I can't wait to see if I got some if that beauty around me but I did come across Jewelweed, Goldenrod and also Veronia(Ironweed); which is what I needed help with....There are several Veronia species and how do I kniw which is safe for me to use for tincture? Thank and definitely will be following you❤
Nalarukku good
Do you have a reference book you have wrote? Love your vids
Hello yarrow👋 what do you know about bhringaraj, I have this growing, not sure what to do with it.
Thank you for such a lovely video Yarrow. I was just about to purchase this online yet hesitated...with a bit of research learning it is a hemi-parastic plant. Can you explain more as to what that means? I am a bit unsure how to know how to find a safe reputable source for this plant. Thanks again!
Where could I get it from.. like herbal store..?
any suggestions on where i can buy seeds? i would like to grow them and help start a seed share to help prevent overharvesting in the wild
I don’t know where to buy seed but you can collect it from wild stands.
Partial apart of a good combo is best, browse not clearcut
Why would anyone want to 'get off' cannabis? But let's expand our herbal knowledge and use more and more plants to help our bodies heal.
Being on the job hunt or cannabis resulting in anxiety are two reasons that immediately come to mind.
Alot of people develop pot allergies now, from newbies to older users. Could be environment issues, but smart to have a variety of tools ifcu have anxiety or use pot for another purpose like pain.
Hi Yarrow, thank you for the great video. Does it work a little like the lobelia plant?
Sadly, this does not grow naturally in Michigan but I'd love to give it a go if I could get some seeds...
That plant puts a lot of energy into chlorophyll for a true parasite, may be more of a symbiot.
I appreciate the delivery
Is there a version of this that grows in the lowlands?
thank you
Alot of people are getting allergies to pot. Having alot of tools rather than just one is very good medicine.
Would this grow in Ontario? I imagine it would. Also, I'm not much into making tinctures so making teas is really what I do most with either fresh leaves and/or stems and/or flowers or teas with dried leaves and/or stems and/or flowers, etc., so can this be used in a tea (flowers/stems/leaves)?
Lovely, valuable video, thank you. I'm at about 3000' in the Sierra Foothills with lots of manzanita around but very little water after June; would I be likely to find this in my locale?
