    In 2016 I had this feeling that I needed to go to a plant walk and wound care class in Salt Lake City that Doc Jones hosted. I'm in the Phoenix area of Arizona. I'm a massage therapist. to go I borrowed $200 from one of my clients, took my Honda goldwing motorcycle in to repair the leak in my front tire. They told me that both tired needed to be replaced and that I would need to check in Salt Lake City to see if they needed replacing before I rode home. I had no finance for that. I said my prayers, contacted my goldwing group found someone to stay with while I was in Salt Lake City that lived in Sandy. I went to the class, I was late getting there because of an event where people were walking that I had to figure out how to go around since they had the streets blocked off. But got there while they were in the medicinal plants area, I was glad not to have to walk any more since my arthritic knees were very painful. We went to the hotel where he had set up the workshop for learning wound care. and I was pleased to find my paramedic background mad made it easier for the anatomy and physiology part. I was delighted to learn about salves, lotions and tinctures. He handed out supplies to have us practice suturing on grapefruit and came around and helped us with our stitches. I was very grateful. On the way home, I did not check my tires on my motorcycle since I had no funds to replace them. But praise the Lord I got a call from a new friend who asked me to come home through Flagstaff instead of Los Vegas and he would buy me a set of tires. So that is what I did. I turn 70 next month, I joined his herbalism school in 2016 after being denied doing the herbalism school at SWIHA in Tempe AZ probably because of my arthritis since I couldn't do the walks in the desert, but have been very glad I was denied there and joined Doc Jones school of Herbalism. So much to learn and he has such a great background and you even learn information on treating your pets. total Win Win situation. Join his school you won't regret it. And you can be a hero to your family treating situations before they become critical. And there are so many answers for problems you are not aware of that can be helped, you do not have to suffer in silence. Go for it!!

    Not herb-related, but intermittent fasting has been helping me sleep soooo much better. It's giving my digestive system time to slow down and rest, which allows my brain to rest, too.

    • @HomeGrownHerbalist
      @HomeGrownHerbalist  Рік тому +12

      I think that's a really important concept. If you think about human biology. We are eating too much food and food that is too high in fats and simple carbs and too highly processed. It's a really good idea to let the digestive system clean itself out occasionally.

    Ditch the screens and read a book an hour before sleep. Something about the linear eye exercise and our brain's ability to, continue to learn or process what you've read the previous hour before drifting off. It helps me immensley in organizing my waking hours. My beginning observation of this was with scripture, but when I dove in to survival and homesteading (always a prepper living in Fla.) I found that this practice was extremely benificial as well. Reading politics DOES NOT work for me though.

    • @HomeGrownHerbalist
      @HomeGrownHerbalist  Рік тому +6

      Yeah, I think any topic that is potentially inflammatory or controversial is a great way not to sleep. Reading is a good idea and your lateral eye movement point is good too. Vertical eye movement triggers stress hormones...another good reason to stop scrolling the social media apps our a phone.

I was able to help my son who blasted himself (accidently) with a hatchet in the face. I told my daughter to go in the forest and grab plantain. She came back with plantago lanceolata and I chewed it up and applied it to his head wound. Bleeding had been stopped from hard pressure of my hand but the plant seemed to keep it from bleeding again as he went off to go play. Applied it again and again throughout a couple of days. He is healing great now. I know and my children know what plant to grab in these instances. (I would have had her grab horsetail to use as a styptic but I felt that was too far to send her and my hand pressure did the trick.)

      I'm pretty sure he has a payment plan you can use to start in his school. Not only is he an excellent teacher but he lives the life. I've been to his place in Idaho and seen all the herbs he has around his place and the drying shed and the room with all the quart bottles of dried herbs. Not only is he an excellent teacher that lives the life he also has a great sense of humor and intuition on using plants to help in all kinds of situatuions. And with his back ground in veterinary practice he can help in unusual situations that most have not been exposed to. GO FOR IT!!! You won't be sorry.

    Thanks Doc 🌱 it's so good to see you! I really appreciate the information and wisdom you have imparted to us. We recently purchased the capsule-it Carolyn mentioned on Homesteading Family (which is where we met you🎉) and right away made 200 size 00 caps of moringa taking two in the a.m. and two in the evening. Going into it we decided to follow this practice for ten days and will reacess when we get there, but the impact has been very pronounced. I do wonder about taking it like twice a day 6 hours apart rather than 12 hours apart or maybe 4 caps just in the morning. Thanks for all that you do and your family too!! 🩷

There is so much wonderful things to learn and there is NO date that you have to be done with anything so you learn at your own pace, and you can target the areas that you need for your family as there are modules of learning and you can skip around to what you need. I've been in the program since 2016, still not finished learning at my own pace. I really recommend it, and I'm pretty sure he has payment plans. You will not regret it.
