Hardly anybody has covered Agrimony on UA-cam, and your talk was so full if information (as usual). This tense and very beautiful plant grows nearby where I live in England, and I came across it only a few years ago for the first time. Since then, I've seeded it in my garden and have had the first plants, three of them, appearing this year. They are, like yours, flowering now. I collected some leaves of the wild-growing ones earlier before they flowered but haven't used them yet but your fascinating tal has inspired me..
Beautiful💚
I love that you cover the astrological, elemental and medicinal properties in each plant, it’s so helpful, especially for those of us familiar with Tarot and spiritual practices of all sorts. Very well rounded videos :)
Really nice video - picture quality and filming were quite nicely done, and it seems like a comprehensive overview of agrimony. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this healing information ❤
My pleasure💚
Thank you this! Herbalism is becoming increasingly important in my world. Agrimony was recommended for an evening tea with mugwort & agave sweetener to help ease my sleep battles. Learning how agrimony works is super helpful. Ever grateful.
Thanks for sharing!💚
Thank you for this
My pleasure!💚
Excellent video 😊
Thank you very much!❤️
Great riff on a plant running it through a few different filters traditions. I've been growing it a few years up in Seattle. It clumps nicely. I mostly understand its use as a blood regulating herb in Chinese Medicine most specificaly stopping bleeding just about anywhere most likely through its astringent action, plus the idea of using it as a qi tonic for exhaustion perhaps after a long period of sickness.
💚💚💚
This herb kept popping up in different books and social media. I am just getting into herbalism and had not heard of it
The stomach digestion is for digesting life as well.. so thoughts feelings emotions get stuck in the organs.. when thinking of liver next to bitter plants nettle and agrimony is good to add plants what help it like celery melons leafy greens. Thank you for sharing. / liver keeps the heavy metals in as well because of he is the filter..so cilantro is very helpful to add to it..:). Sending blessings.
Thanks for sharing!!💚
Thanks for the great information. I really enjoy your blog and MMM.
I'm glad💚💚
Hello, Enjoyed your presentation.. Matthew Wood is a fan which peaks my interest in agrimony.
I still get puzzled by herbalists using astringent as a taste. Classically there are 4-5 tastes. Astringent isn’t one of them, it’s an action. Sour is the taste generally related to astringent. Though I would note acrid herbs often have astringent properties.
Just to add regarding agrimony in TCM it’s classified under herbs that stop bleeding if I remember correctly. Liver, spleen and maybe lung. Interesting that it’s neutral in temperature.
I’m going to get tincture and get to know it. When the herb calls answer the phone 😉.
Keep up the good work.
💚💚💚
really enjoy your videos.
Glad you like them!💚
Love the information but the truck cracks me up!
Greetings! Thank you so much for all this wisdom ❤ Would you recommend this plant for seasonal allergies?
I was just gifted a jar of lovingly wild crafted Nettle Seeds. Can you tell me of any other specific uses for them?
I’m soaking up every word! Thank you SO much!💚
Also as I’m finding new plants Agrimony is one I recently discovered. A friend with lifelong digestive issues was on my mind- what might help him, and here I am! 🌀
I saw a video on UA-cam about a tincture made with nettle seeds . Dont no the title anymore.
Wil the dry herb stil be ok to use or is it useless at that point??
Thank you for taking the lessons to the garden, Sajah. Brings on an entirely different perspective and much deeper understanding too. Not sure how but I can almost smell the plants as if I were sitting and listening right beside you. 💚🫶🏻🌿
I love that!!💚
