Hey all, hope you enjoy this one. There will be a part 2 on medicine making coming out later this week. Let us know in the comments how you like to connect with Fir, Spruce, or Pine trees and the forest ecosystem.
Hi . I have been watching your videos. Very interesting. What herbs could I uses to put on foot fungus. I have tried everything so far on the market. Very hard to get rid of . As you probably know. I do have cfsme fibromyalgia and pots , and ibs . Had the illness for over 20years . I live in the UK. Thanks DAVE

Awesome man. Been studying herbs for 10 years or so, would love to see how to use fir medicinally. Can't wait for Part 2 Yarrow. Thanks for creating this channel 🙏
Thanks Yarrow, you are a wonderful teacher. I burned fir trees for 30 years to keep warm but never used it as medicine. Now I live in Alberta but for 50 years I lived in the interior rain forest of BC where coniferous trees were in abundance. My dad was a logger and owned his own small mill and we lived in the forest in the summer while he harvested logs. I miss the smell of the forest and am thankful for the two spruce trees in my neighbours yard here in Alberta. I feel alive when I go home to BC, fresh water, fresh air and beautiful forests
Thank you for sharing how you gave the tree thanks ❤. I collected some fire tips a while ago but got too busy to make something with them. I’m curious if the dried tips can be used for anything? Can’t wait to see part 2 of this one!
Awesome video man. Been studying herbs for 10 years or so. Working towards my herbal degrees right now. Fir is not covere in my course, so this knowledge is helpful. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and creating this channel 🙏
Excellent tips! Thank you so much! I live on the west side of the Rockies in BC and there's fir everywhere here. Most of my life I lived on the east side of the Rockies in AB but below the Porcupine foothills ... they call it Chinook country. Beautiful and diverse but I like it here better because it's about 5 degrees warmer and no WIND compared to there. My cousin lives down the road and we've been exploring natural medicine for inflammation -- she has Rheumatoid arthritis. We also understand that all disease stems from inflammation . . . is this true?
I live in Colorado. Our eco systems are incredibly vast and varied. High alpine to prairie grassland, canyons and even high desert, so our evergreens are equally varied. Pine - pointy Fur - flat Spruce - square NOW I will always know the difference!!! 🙏🏻
Oh how I LOVE your passion for the forest and all that it offers. God Bless and keep sharing your beautiful gifts. Pointy, or flat, the fir, the pine, the spruce and the hemlock are all delicious and make great food and and as you noted, they are so healing. I daily dine on them. Sadly, here in Massachusetts the ticks are so abundant that forest bathing is a rather frightening activity. I have had 4 ticks embedded in me and I take all the precautions.
Right on, I have gathered just enough spruce tips to add to my teas to get me by until next spruce tip season. Great information on the Fir. I’ve only been gathering spruce tips the last 2 seasons and with this being my 3rd I can say it is happening fast this year. Tips are gaining size very quickly. Thank you for sharing!
I love to keep a pitcher of water in the fridge with the added spruce or fir tips. As I drink I replenish the water. A hot tea is also nice. I like to make a vinegar with pine needles and use that for salad dressings. Thank you for this video. I’m excited for part 2.
Thank you Herbal Jedi! Collecting fir tips in the Santa Cruz Mnt bioregion where fir grows in the mixed evergreen forest with redwood and occasionally Cal nutmeg and Pacific yew. Add a herbal presentation on those plants if you get a chance.
Ideally, a whole lifestyle approach where you reduce acidic and inflammatory foods, including coffee, and red meats. Add in Omega essential oils, lots of antioxidants, and circulation, supported herbs, like ginger. Other herbs that are helpful or turmeric, Devils, claw, Willow bark, boswellia, cats claw, and nettles.
Fir Tips are an easy one to harvest as there are lots of them around in the types of ecosystems they grow. Also Spruce tips can be used similarly. Plus they are a good example of an easy sustainable harvest as you are only trimming this years growth, rather than harvesting the whole plant like is needed with some healing herbs. Look to the edges of the forest where you can reach the branches of the fir tree easily.
Doug fir is a cilmax species a little way down east of the cascade crest On the west side its a place holder until hemlock can take over as the climax species

Your energy is infectious
Pines are pointy. Spruce are square and furs are flat so I don’t forget
You got it.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom 🙏
Perfect timing! I was walking my property yesterday and thought "wow the tips of the fir are neon green!!"
I randomly grabbes some buds off a tree yesterday ans started nibbling on em... and here you gift us an educational video!
Thank you 😊

Pine - pointy

I don't mean to be rude, but I want you to know that it's spelled fir instead of fur.
Thank you 💞✨🌿✨💞
Yarrow, I love your videos, you do a great job of identifying plants.

Love all type of Pine trees
Doug fir tip liquor is a holiday gift I always make and it is the season to start picking. Please do a balsamic vinegar video if possible.
I harvest some Douglas Fir tips, and some Spruce tips for tea 🌲🍵😋
I always learn so much from your videos, thank you.

Thanks for adding how you like to work with spruce, pine and fir tips.
A simple addition to water is a great idea.
Such great info! Thank you - I will try some for tips! The rabbits in my garden love it too, and based on your info - no wonder!
This is so great! Thank you.

Great info. Looking forward to part 2

Great as always
What do you suggest for osteoarthritis 😊
Ideally, a whole lifestyle approach where you reduce acidic and inflammatory foods, including coffee, and red meats.
Add in Omega essential oils, lots of antioxidants, and circulation, supported herbs, like ginger.
Other herbs that are helpful or turmeric, Devils, claw, Willow bark, boswellia, cats claw, and nettles.
