I have had severe asthma early in my life and as recent 5 years it was triggered to the severe once again. I nebulized and used the inhaler daily and it was only as an emergency relief but still low lung capacity for breathing. Three weeks ago I came across a meme that suggested Blue Vervain's affects and ordered it with hopefulness but doubted. Day one I instantly felt more air capacity I was used to and I haven't needed an inhaler or neb for the first time in five years. I feel lively and has produced more stamina sexually. I feel revived. My wife had a nasty cold that she was medicating with Nyquil and suffering for days. I finally convinced her to take one capsule. She instantly started feeling better and is on the recovering end of the cold faster than she has before. Now I'm telling everyone close to me about this amazing herb. I don't ever give reviews but this herb is saving my life.
Amazing! This herb has so many benefits and it is crazy to me that it has fallen out of common use. Thank you for sharing your story and keep telling everyone you know!! This is how we revive herbalism! 🌿
Where did u purchase it? Can u help me
There are no coincidences in this benevolent universe! Thank you for sharing!
Wow! This is incredible. My mom passed away over a year ago and a couple of months ago, I had a dream where I wanted to go to my mom's house to get some of her plants and transplant them into my own gardens so I could have a piece of her with me. In this dream, as I was walking around her gardens, I came across blue vervain - I had never heard of or seen this plant before but I knew instantly what it was in that moment. I looked it up and read that it was good for stress and anxiety which made sense to me at the time. Fast forward to me watching your video, I did not know that this plant helped with jaw tension. I have been struggling with tension in my jaw since my mom has passed - it even bothers me during my sleep! I have also been suspecting that I have gallbladder issues which came up with this herb as well - maybe a root cause of my jaw pain - very interesting. I have been thinking about incorporating digestive bitters into my diet but maybe this specific plant is exactly what I need. I have been drawn to it since my dream and have felt a very strong magnetic pull toward it, and now I definitely need to get some! Thank you so much for this video.
I wonder why they call it blue when it’s clearly purple
Sounds like it would make a great evening tea.
I love how you came across it
What a great reminder of the wisdom and interconnectedness of all things. Thanks for sharing your story❤
Love it! I literally just found wild blue vervain for the first time and came back to see this video in my stream. Gonna go make some medicine now.
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
God created herbs for the healing of the nation my dear
Amen
..and Amen!
Amen
Thanks for this truth. I've been there in the middle of that amazement you felt. " It works! " This one and all the rest know what their work is an how to do it effectively. Thanks again!
HI ASHLEY
THANKYOU !
BLESSINGS
Happy to have come across another person who loves plants n nature like I do. I am not an official herbalist but I love, love, love herbal plants and have a total connection with nature. Like yourself, I find them n they find me. Just today I took out some dry leaves of vervain from a glass jar in the kitchen to make a concoction and drink and I was curious to find out more, hence I found your video and then you started to talk about the side of the neck/gall bladder meridian. How many things one does not know about their own body and how nature can help us heal!!! Ashley, thank you for your work and your insights. Stay Blessed.
So nice to meet you, Genefa! Yes, it is amazing how our bodies communicate with us. I’m glad you found my video helpful. Have a great day and enjoy your concoction! 💜
I just discovered this plant yesterday and today and just harvested some before dark ..thanks for the testimony . i planned on making a vodka tincture but maybe ill try your method first. Thankyou .
Thank you, Ashley! Of all the herb tinctures I use, Blue Vervain is #1. I also keep a flower essence bottle handy. I love it! I'm definitely a Type A. I agree wholeheartedly about always 'feeling the joy' when the remedy works, even though I know it will! Before I started loving herbs, I primarily turned to homeopathic remedies. Interestingly, I rarely use them or need anything other than plant medicine now.
Thanks for sharing! How amazing to be pain free. Nature is awesome.
Thanks for sharing this video 💐
@@molokaithecat9828 😃
I used Vervain to successfully prevent being enthralled by a vampire. It works.
You’re so knowledgeable.
thank you so much for sharing this. this popped up on my feed and i have been dealing w. severe neck pain in the same regions. thought it didnt pop up in front of my in nature ✨✨✨ i feel the same resonance! thank you so much
You are so welcome! I find it works best as a strong bitter tea for neck pain. Let me know your story after you try it!
Thank you for your video I have shared your video with several individuals along with sending them dried blue blue Vervain during the covid season. As an island girl I am very familiar with herbs however most Americans are very skeptical off herbs and your video is so comforting it has allowed many individuals to trust and use blue Vervain that I sent them during the covid pandemic thanks again much appreciated sending you lots of love
Oh wonderful! I’m so happy to hear this! Blue Vervain is such a special plant. What a gift you are giving to so many people. Sending love back to you too! 💚🍀
Saw you with Acyuta talking about Mars in Gemini and then found this old video. I ordered some tincture…thank you 💖
I just ordered some seeds thank you for sharing!
Thank you sooooo much
It ,s good for nerve problems.
I had a similar experience with this plant ,very powerful
Amazing! Blue Vervain is a powerful plant indeed. It is now one of my go-to herbs. Thank you for sharing your experience! 💚🌿💚
Loved hearing this story Thank you so much I will be risking the taste tomorrow for my pain
I hope it helps you like it’s helped me! 💜
I have ordered the tincture & will let you know🌈
I have use varvain tea too but your blue varvain look different to the one in the Caribbean. Thanks for sharing your experience though.🙏🏼❤️
Oh yes, I think it is a different species. Here in North America we have Verbena hastata. I believe the Caribbean species is Stachytarpheta jamaicensis or Jamaican vervain. Does that seem right?
Great work and video 👍🌠
Hi wonderful testimony sister so amazing, glad you're healed praise God, am sure God was the one putting it right in front of your eyes amen amen
✨🙏🏻✨
I love that it just popped in like... Hello I'm here to help you! I keep seeing mullein EVERYWHERE... Maybe it's trying to say something too 🤔
Yes! One of my herbie friends said folks have been seeing mullein popping up in large amounts across the US. Since mullein is a lung tonic she’s speculating that it’s part of earth’s grace and gift to us help our lungs recover from COVID. Of course, it comes with a reminder of earths wisdom and our need to love and respect her. 💚
Thank you. It’s true. They appear, as if they knew we are suffering. ❤️❤️🩹
Love this
The ones in my country (Belize) is not bitter. It works but taste like water.
Thank 💚 You siSTAR🙏🕯
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
My favorite tea! Thank you for this beautiful talk. Druid medicine - makes perfect sense now! Will you be growing some, too? I did not know why I needed it, but just knew that I did. I do have chronic left lower jaw pain so perhaps this explains the attraction. Again, thank you!
gunkie50 I love when we have this “knowing” about plants. Yes, try it for your jaw pain and let me know how it works!
How similar is it to Verbena officinalis? Wonder if it can also help with the neck tension.
I considered what you said, and thought about how I live amidst a vast juniper forest. So I looked up what juniper is good for, and studies have shown that the berries are hypocholesterolic and hypoglycemic, and they repaired liver damage in mice (among many other wonderful qualities). I have a hereditary condition whereby my liver makes too much cholesterol, and hence I have heart disease. I'm going to take juniper tea for awhile and see if it helps. I bet it will! Do you feel that plants can be "programmed " with ones intention to act in certain ways? Even outside the well known effects of the plant? There have been a few times when I've had this intuition...
Oh wow, what a find! Please let me know how it works for you!
Thank you Ashley! Where is the best place to purchase herbal seeds if you do not find the herbs growing wild in your community (all seeds, not just blue vervain )?
My favorite seed source for medicinal plants is “Strictly Medicinals” based out of OR owned by Richie Cech. I bought a live blue vervain plant from them last spring and it was in full flower in the late summer :)
Are there any contraindications for using vervain??
That's great it gave you results..You blew into the plant to show gratitude?
I’m obsessed with lemon verbena. Perhaps there is a connection?
There is!
The leaves of the blue vervain in Canada is more elongated, but the ones in the Caribbean is more oval, am I correct. They have the same flower though, please clarify for me.
Hi Jean! I’m not sure. If you can share photos or track down the species name (the Latin binomial) I am happy to have a look and see if they have the same medicinal properties 💜
Yes it’s very bitter ! But good for us
Any information about the white vervain?
Greetings! I am sorry, but I am not familiar with white vervain. What is the Latin name of the plant you are referring to?
Type A personality here. Thank you for this.
Hi Ashley, do you think it would help with migraines? Thank you for sharing 💜
There are many different kinds of migraines so it depends. If your headaches seem to stem from tension along the sides of the neck and you are a Type-A personality, then yes, it’s a good match! If not, there may be other herbs that might be more helpful 💚
Sky House Herb School & Apothecary thank you! it’s aggravated by stress, hormonal changes, alcohol, digestive issues...so not quite sure. I’ve tried feverfew but it didn’t help. I’ll give this a try. Thanks again for your input🙏
D mikaels you are welcome! I’d suggest trying it for a few weeks. Another herb to consider is wormwood. Just 3 drops of the tincture twice a day. It’s a great bitter that works on the liver which might be part of the cause since it’s responsible for breaking down hormones and alcohol. Keep me posted!
@@SkyHouseHerbs ,I think you are spot on about the liver. That's exactly what my acupuncturist said! thank you for the suggestions:-)
Thanks, but unfortunately it’s impossible to listen to videos with ads interrupting throughout. 😕
I get nauseous when I drink blue vervain. Even if it’s a part of a mix that includes peppermint or catnip
Yet the herb is very strengthening & stabilizing for me
I use a relatively small amount in the tea
Suggestions for solution to the nausea?
Nb chiropractic adjustment to be successful needs hot moist towels for 15 mins then 20 mins massage for the adjustment to be successful
Otherwise the person is literally forcing the bone position without addressing the underlying muscular & connective tissue spasm
If you can find an old school practioner like this a visit once a year (or 6 monthly) is ideal for health
Add a bit of ginger in your tea recipe.
Just an idea here. After having your tea, drink a small glass of whole buttermilk and see if you nausea fades away.
@@bennygreene1421 thankyou
Boy you can really make a short story long

Tametia Benz Benz Hi Dear, what a good mama you are! I don’t know what is sure to help your daughter. You can try blue vervain and other antispasmodics to see if they help. I’ve heard good things about THC-a found in cannabis for seizures and tremors. There are lots of studies on cannabis now. I am sure you are ready for something to help your baby. Don’t give up, ask for help from your creator, stay hopeful. I am sending you both my prayers ✨🙏🏻✨
