I was a nurse for 20 years before I became disabled. The medical industrial complex failed me. I started researching natural remedies and I was able to wean myself off of 7 different meds. I really appreciate your videos. They help in my journey to help others exit the matrix.
Thank you for sharing this
This is my mission as well. Congratulations on ditching 7 pharmaceutical meds. That’s absolutely awesome!
I already take almost half of the ones on your list lol. Hey, it's better than pharmaceuticals 🤷 The one that was the biggest game-changer for me was ashwaganda. Absolute night and day difference! Praise the Lord for supplying us with all these amazing plants 🙌🙌🙌
Can I ask which ashwagandha you take and the benfits for you. Thank you.

Do you know much about Motherwort? I've just started hearing about it for anxiety, female issues, and heart health.
@@babsblan Nope, I do not, maybe someone else does that can contribute
@@RainCountryHomestead I have used skullcap, and it works so amazing in sleepy time teas or just for relaxing. I get American Skullcap and it works so well. The first book I picked up for herbs was Cat Ellis Natural Prepper as well, and that's where I learned about Skullcap. I made a mix with green tea, lavender, chamomile, and skullcap and it was so good! Thank you for sharing!!! My favorite channel hands down!!
Thank you so much for the list! I prefer natural plants with no side effects. I'm wanting off pharma meds for this.
I know shitaki and tumeric, and some blueberries mixed does help me much more. But I've been looking for herbs like this, so thank you!
I just found your site and I REALLY love all the info I've heard. Thank you for sharing! Thumbs up to you!
@@RainCountryHomestead what kind of lavender, there are so many kinds?
Thank you for making this separate video on herbs/plants that are good for stress. I appreciate you taking the time to doing these type videos 😊
💕👍
🐝God is good, all the time💟. Awesome!!🖒 Thank you🏵😁God bless🌹
Linden (teiul) in Europe we use it from ancient times. For stress relief, insomnia, calming and well being, zen moment in tea , in the winter time is awesome. Use flowers entire with the little leaf attached to flower . It's a gold 🥰👍👍👍
It's interesting now that I'm starting to learn about herbs I'm noticing that a tea brand that my family always bought from has some of these herbs you talked about. The teas are from Tadin and the 2 most common types we would drink for someone who was stressed/anxious or just worried was Seven Blossoms and Linden Tea. The Seven Blossoms mix included Lemon Balm, Passionflower, and Valerian Root and now as I'm writing this I just remembered that the seven blossoms tea always smelled weird to me which now I see was probably due to the valerian root!! My mother told me a long time ago that the Seven Blossoms tea saved her from a time when she had lots of panic attacks it was the only thing that sort of cured her which is why she swears by it and still buys it to this day. Its crazy how something I thought was just a random tea my mom loves has all these herbs that I'm trying to learn about. So eye opening !!
I know!! I grew up on linden tea (Tilo.) I just thought it was the tea all Cubans drank! Lol turns out it’s got great medicinal properties and now when drink it I sleep incredibly well. ;)
Good morning Heidi! 🌞
I've been enjoying a lot of sun tea also. Mostly borage because I find that cucumber taste so refreshing. I added lemon balm a couple of times too.
Learning about all these herbs should earn one a PhD! 😀
Blessings! 💜
PhD by proxy maybe? Though it is doubtful any PhD would give that kind of authority to the likes of us - haha
@@RainCountryHomestead Yeah, we're radicals, conspiracy theorists, and militants.😀😆😂🤣🤗
I love love love lemon balm tea especially when I mix it with my purple basil.
Ashwaganda has been a blessing for me and my family/friends, especially over the last 18 months. I love ginger so I was glad to see it on your list.
Thank you so much
I appreciate all your videos as always; they are loaded with invaluable information resulted from your diligent researches and years of experiences. On the top of all, it's a willing and generous spirit that inspires many to contribute as well. I love you end the videos with Bible verses to remind us that Jesus Christ is the source and the reason of all goodness. Thank you, Heidi, be blessed. 😘 ~Linda
I've been doing herbal sunteas lately and loving them. Now to do more experimenting with my fresh herbs.
Thank you 😊
How lovely, just sat down with a coffee and a new video to watch from you, and I'm first 😊 💚
Hi Heidi, I use Skullcap when I need to get some sleep. It is wonderful and gentle. I find it mixes well with other herbs as it does not have an overwhelming flavor, it is mild. I also use Linden for muscle tension and aches. It is very mild in effect and flavor. I try to make a strong tea with this when needed but works nicely. Thank you for these fabulous videos.💕
And thank you for sharing your own experience as well :)
Good timing. I just sat down to pay bills. *LOL*
Haha! Yay!
Great info! I've planted catnip, lemon balm and lavender this year. I have high quality valerian essential oil but the smell 😝
The flowers have a better smell but yes, it is not the best smelling plant for sure, the root is the strongest in that aroma
I have Linden tea, and it is very good. Catnip and Lemon Balm is one of my favorite combos, and I just had some last night.
Heidi, I mix Lavender with Chamomile and I love it! I also do Mojito mint with my lemon balm.
You make the mojito with mint and rum?
I love listening to your videos while I am packaging up my herbs. Thanks for keeping my mind occupied and for sharing with us. This mornings drink is fresh apple mint and lime juice.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Hi Heidi, I have been thinking of you and all the others that live in the PNW. I hope you are safe. So much going on up there. Last year I filled an entire tomato bed with Tulsi and those tomatoes did far better than any others. Wish I had done it this year but I never got around to it. I did not know about lavender leaves, ty for the tip.
Great video. I did not Mimosa trees had benefits. My favorite tree was one on my grandparents property and we would climb it. I loved the flowers on it. Were I live now has one in the backyard and several small ones are growing. The hummingbirds hang around the big one. It is about 30 years old and it is slowly dying.
I had grandparents that had huge mimosa trees. They smelled SO good. We would sit up in them and watch the hummers. And the flowers reminded me of ballerina's 😉. Fun memories for me!.what parts of the mimosa are used? I just found a few where I moved to!
Mimosa is invasive…planted one yrs ago and fighting them ever sense…thanks Heidi for a way to deal positively with this nuisance! Blessings! MARANATHA
Thanks enjoyed this video very much 💓 happy to search out some areas for where stinging nettle grows. I'll be looking for STINGING NETTLE in the spring of 2022 and yes I got my fingers stung! but it felt good to find a healthy patch with omega-3 seeds to gather and hopefully spread them around to grow.
I always enjoy the herb videos, I gather every bit of info that I can, I lost my valerian about 2 years ago so I definitely want seed when you sell them, I also would love to get borage seed if you sell any of those. Thanks for sharing this great video, I am watching again, sometime I scroll down reading comments and miss some good info, getting too old to listen and read at the same time lol, blessings
Yes, I sell borage seed every year and every year I sell out quickly. I should have more in about a month though.
@@RainCountryHomestead I definitely want to order them and the valerian, I watch you every day that you put up a video so will rush to get over there and order them when you announce it, thanks sweet friend, hope your having a blessed weekend, please try and rest and take care of yourself. I so wish I would have taken better care of me when I was younger, it has now taken it's toll on me and even though I try now, some of the damage is irreversible.
@@RainCountryHomestead do you have a site that shows what you sell? I would be interested in a lot of different things. Please let me know or the link! Thank you
@@donnamccombs8882 Our etsy store is always linked in the description box under every video. We are currently sold out of a lot of things but are trying to keep our more popular items up and will be putting up more of some of our original things (my skirts, aprons, more of Patrick's hand crafted wood pieces) once some other things slow down so we can get back into making those

Thank you so much, Heidi. You are a wealth of wonderful info. May God continue to bless you and your family!
Regarding stress: Another one to research is Magnolia Bark to reduce cortisol, and much more. I have recently switched from coffee to green tea and I notice my nerves are calmer. Even though the tea contains some caffeine, maybe the l-theanine in the tea helps calm me.
I wanted to thank you greatly for how clear, efficient, caring, patient, curious and creative

CAUTION about Tulsi / Holy Basil: Last year I planted Tulsi for its sleep properties. I am so grateful that I planted it in our old fishing boat that we converted to a raised garden. This Spring I was out of town when the snow melted and the soil warmed making it was time to plant a few vegetables.
When I returned in mid-June the tulsi plants from the previous year had shot roots all over the boat and the plants were over a foot tall. The roots were so densely rooted and invasive that it took me a week of hard labor to eradicate it from the soil before I could plant my seedlings. Thank God the roots are thick and white which made them is easy to see and remove.
Has anyone else had this problem? I Love Tulsi tea, but will always grow it in a closed container.
That is not an issue here because it is hard for me to grow any kind of basil outside, I have to do it all in the greenhouse and even then what I get comes back from seed, not the roots. I do have ONE little plant I am trying on the deck and it is finally starting to look healthy.
Tulsa does better in dry heat, like mint, it can take over. Mine is in containers just to ensure they don't take over.😊
Jet Fueled Latte Blend! What?! Yes.
Great information, as always!
I really enjoyed watching this video! Great tips on what herbs to use for anxiety and stress. I have used rose petal tea and I love the aroma. I will have to try catnip and borage. I also like stinging nettle tea and drink that as well. It is really wonderful to have so many herbs to choose from:) your right God is good:):):)
I give Valeria for my pets!!! Or works beautifully!!
Thank you, Heidi. Very good information. 😃
I take a lot of the ones on your list and am excited to try the others!
Can you make a playlist with your teas you make I hate water anything to make water taste good I’ll try
I already have one; ua-cam.com/play/PLzVtTPDzFPKFopB-UzRE8L7c7U2HJg3O_.html
God bless you my friend❣️❣️
This was an excellent video lots of info I did not know. One of the beauties of herbal medicine is plants often treat several issues. We used linden leaves and flowers in our dog soap this summer and it was amazing for our ten year old husky/Australian shepherd who tends to get hot spots the past couple of summers. It worked amazingly. I put 2 teabags worth in the lye solution water container before tarring out the container and adding the water (in this case aloe gel instead) so I wouldn’t affect the amount of liquid in the lye solution at all. I figured it would be equivalent to steeping the tea. I also added 2 tbsp of honey, 2 tbsp melted bees wax and a couple of handfuls of oatmeal to the Castile base after trace. The combination worked wonders on his skin and fur. We have had no hot spots on his skin since.
This is why I have been doing specific herb profiles for the past 5 years as well because most herbs have many great properties.
@@RainCountryHomestead I’ve been watching them. They are excellent.
@@RainCountryHomestead you have a wealth of videos I am working my way through.
@@RainCountryHomestead I’m very grateful for the information and try to reciprocate by sharing any tidbits I’ve come across of the years.
I may try making some herbals blends as a sun tea. Borage sounds good that way and then serve it over ice.
🧡
My church in Bellevue Washington has a mimosa tree.
Hi Heidi this is great information to have get some of these herb's 🌿
I never have luck to grow herbs only one I really had luck with was basil I came and grow dill or rosemary or sage
Excellent video.
My favorite is valarin. My husbands is kava kava.
try nutrional yeast flakes for anxiety
I had a mimosa tree growing at a rental we lived in, in Albany Oregon... Although not Forks, it's pnw/local. Might be worth looking into 😊
Oooh! I may just have to learn more about it then!
I have to admit. I'm feeling a little intimidated. But, l will do my best.
Thank you 🌿
Hello, I'm looking for the Mellein is a large interesting plant with yellow flowers, a plant used to make a tea or medicine. I gathered Pearly Everlasting leaves and Heals All, to use as a tea for asthma symptoms, from the dryer places they like to grow in and from the lawns area that are undisturbed grounds.
I believe you mean Mullein. I know about it but do not grow or use it. Not sure it would do well here but I may try some day but will likely need to find a different area to grow it as it is so large and my space here is limited, maybe out at our other piece.
💚🌞
Thankyou for sharing🙂
Magnesium, no matter the oral type, does not do well in my intestines. All send me running to the thone. So, I've made a mag. chloride, rose water, liquid silica, and msm crystals liquid. I use it topically daily all over. Followed by a homemade salve.
We used to buy a commercial "stress tea", but it became unavailable. I created my own version that he drinks as iced tea. Decaffeinated green tea, lavender and chamomile.
I grew lemon balm for the first time this year but don’t know what to do with it. I tried adding fresh to some green tea that I was brewing for iced tea and it made the whole pitcher of tea taste like grass. No lemon flavor at all.
The best time to Harvest lemon balm for fresh or dried flavor is early spring or in the fall. When they get woody, they are starting to bloom and there isn't much flavor.
Maybe it was the blend with the green tea? Hard to say but my cold and hot brews with lemon balm always have a nice lemony flavor no matter what time of the season I harvest them. Also, if you are brewing too long or too hot, it will lose its flavor as will any mint that is over cooked
Be care ful with lemon balm, it is very invasive, my whole backyard has been taken ove from it.
I HAVE BEEN CUTTING THE FLOWERS becouse each seed that falls to the ground is a new plant next year.
@@MariaPerez-hl4js all mints can be invasive but here my lemon balm and catnip stay pretty well contained while my mojito and peppermint spread like crazy but I am cool with it
I love lemon balm tea. I harvest the youngest leaves in the morning and make a hot tea, then refrigerate it to enjoy for a day (maybe two). The stems of the young leaves are still grew and soft.
Hope to see you on Patreon soon .
I have been on Patreon for years and all my content is open to all without donation required. However, I just do not have time to keep up on it. You can still find the link in my description box though
Sadly, I'm one of those folks that are extremely sensitive to Valerian root. It makes me extremely nauseous! I wonder if I should try the leaves and/or flowers. ? I could go to the health food store for catnip or holy basil. My borage isn't big enough to harvest but will sure keep it in mind. I am growing spearmint, which I love in tea. Thank you Heidi for this expansive list.
I have been under stress because I can't get my food saver tops to work with the ball jar lids! :/ I plan to purchase a break bleeder. Do you recommend one brake bleeder over another?
This is the brake bleeder kit I recommend, I have two different ones but this one is the best of the two: amzn.to/3kmLZxf
Also, here is a video I did about problems with the FoodSaver tops and ways to remedy them, also, it is best when you double up the lids that you turn the top o ne upside down or have a designated one with a hole it in so you can get them apart after sealing (you will see what I mean when you get to that part in the video): ua-cam.com/video/CjkzxitE9UY/v-deo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you so much Heidi!
Hello 👋
Valeria root smells like old cheese, that's the one I give my pets, flowers forvme.❤🥀
I keep seeing that silver teapot...is really pretty so where can I purchase one? Also your jars of flowers are beautiful so is there a vid on how you put them together? Thank you for another excellent vid
The teapot is from WW2 and I found it at a garage sale: ua-cam.com/video/KVOQNd1nBlA/v-deo.html
I am not really understanding your question on the jars of flowers and putting them together. Do you mean the dried flowers or the herb infusions?
Heidi, do you crush the fresh herbs first before you immerse them in water overnight for a cold tea/vitamin water? And can you re-use these herbs for anything else afterwards?
I do crush them sometimes, depending on the herb to get more strength but usually no. I also will sometimes add more water, again depending on the herb or blend and let steep again. Some can turn a bit bitter though if allowed to sit for too long.
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so much, Heidi! God bless you all.❤️🇨🇦
I have to admit. I'm feeling a little intimidated. But, l will do my best.
Valerian Root smells like someone stepped in 🐶💩! My mother-in-law brought some dried valerian root to the house that she had picked up at a health food store. We checked the bottoms of her shoes first then narrowed it down to her bag where the culprit was! Had to put her bag outside, none of us could stand it! Needless to say we never tried any of it.
While I never thought it smelled like that, at least not the valerian I have bought or grown, it is certainly not the most pleasant smell, at least not the roots. The flowers and leaves are not bad though and I have eaten the leaves fresh from the plant and the flavor is also not bad but the root, that is another story!
Yes, it was the root! That’s why I’ve never tried to grow it. If the rest of the plant smells ok I might give it a try
I am having problems fronding seeds so I can start with so herbs, like, calendula and wild lettuce for pain and valerian, can you help me get these. Please let me know. Donna Davis
I will be selling valerian seed on our store once it is ready, which I should have some ready real soon as well as the pineapple weed. I also am selling calendula and several other seeds but have many more I am waiting on to put up for this year such as lamb's ear, borage, and more. I do have feverfew, marshmallow, and some others. I will not be selling catnip or wild lettuce but I am sure you can find seeds for those on other etsy stores. That is where I buy a lot of my seeds these days
etsy.com/shop/raincountryhomestead
My valarian bloomed nicely on its first year, the heatwave caused the blossoms to dry up and fall off quicker than I expected. If I harvest what is left, mostly stems, are they still beneficial?
My valerian out front (my oldest plant) did the same thing. I am not using any parts from it and in fact finally just cut the whole thing down yesterday. It may still have time to get new leaves by doing so.
Planet Ayurveda's herbal remedies have brought much-needed relief to my anxiety.
I don't like the taste of store bought tea, is making tea from herbs any different in taste???
Just to clarify, there are herbal teas and true teas. Herbal teas are more properly called infusions because true teas all come from the same plant, does not matter if it is black, oolong, white, or green. I have never been a fan of any true teas but always have liked the herbal ones, even the store bought ones if they are a good blend but since growing my own herbs and creating my own blends, yes, I like them better than any I have purchased at the store
@@RainCountryHomestead ty, that is most helpful, yes I was talking about the true teas that I don't like
@@judihughey4912 I understand that, I have tried it in all varieties and do not like any of it. I have always loved herbal teas though :)
I mistakenly bought cat mint instead of catnip this summer. I hope some time you will get a chance to go into the differences a bit more. I was attempting to buy catnip because we read that it has sedative properties for dogs and the bombs our neighbors like to set off in the summer (actually shake our house) really affect our dogs.
I am thinking what I have is actually catmint. It has been a topic of confusion for years and is very difficult to find specific information that talks about the differences. I do have a catnip video coming out soon and I do not recall if I mentioned the only real differences I could find (and that was a hard one to dig up) and that is that true catnip has white flowers while catmint has purple. This is why I do not sell my seeds for these because I do not want to sell mislabeled seeds like what has happened to me. However, I see people on Etsy and nurseries that sell "catnip" with purple flowers and most sites you go to to try to find out more information will say they are the same thing. ARGH!
Regardless, I can testify that at least in out what I have works for me for the sake of soothing pain and calming nerves so I would assume their benefits are very similar. The one clue that has me thinking mine is catmint is that the neighborhood cats leave it alone. But then again, I gave a start of mine to a friend who has a cat, and her cat would not leave it alone and eventually destroyed it. So....go figure
@@RainCountryHomestead yup that is the info I am finding, too. I read about the flower color difference just now and the formal names differ slightly catnip is Nepeta cataria and catmint is Nepeta mussinii. They say the catnip is more weedy and the only one to make cats intoxicated, but so far nothing on the medicinal differences which could be a lot. The search continues. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer and God bless.
@@RainCountryHomestead glad to know catmint still has good health benefits.
@@RainCountryHomestead I love your open honest way of sharing information. Too many on the internet, and UA-cam specifically, present things as fact and experience when they are trying to do it the first time (total pet peeve of mine) and or without research. We all make mistakes from time to time because we are human and trying to relearn thousands of years of information that has been repressed or destroyed, but deliberate deception and manipulation is another matter entirely. Thanks for all you do to give out the best possible information.
@@RainCountryHomestead final comment. My thoughts don’t usually come all at once. The landscaping company where I bought mine had some labeled catmint in one section, which I mistakenly thought was the same thing and so did the clerk helping me, then in another section had catnip with purple flowers! 🤪
Can you consume the NOW essential oils?
It is not the brand that matters when it comes to consumption, it is the specific oil. Certain ones should never be consumed while others can be in small amounts. I use peppermint and orange for flavoring such as when I am making peppermint patties or orange cream chocolate.
Brands that claim their oils are the only ones safe to consume are lying and they are usually those MLM ones that are way over priced.
Hi Heidi great video because i take so many of them. In your thyroid video you mentioned to stay of uncooked cruciferous vegetables. Is saukraut ok or did you still at that time eat it. During the time of your thyroid problems. Thanks
Depends on if the sauerkraut was canned or not. If it is simply fermented raw, then no.
Where can I get those blends and capsules? Do you sell them? Please let me know I am willing to buy
No, I do not sell them but you can always make your own from herbs your buy or grow yourself
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you to your reply
Do the different flavors of mints cross if planted close to others? We have spearmint which I'm sensitive to, and my daughter likes the peppermint mixed with the catnip and lemon balm, but thought the mojito mint might be a good option?
I'm only on 1/10th of an acre, so while I have spread out the spearmint, lemon balm, oregano, catnip, rosemary, and sage, so I'm running out of spaces. Lol.
We are only on a shy 1/3 acre where I am doing all my gardening right now and in several places my mints are growing among each other, not cross flavors
A note of caution on lemon balm for anyone with low thyroid, Hashimoto's, or who are taking thyroid medication - do your research and talk to your doctor before using lemon balm for stress and anxiety. It can interfere with both your medication and your thyroid function. It's wonderful, but maybe not the best choice if you have thyroid problems. 🖖🏻
While we do not drink lemon balm tea a lot, we tend to enjoy it when it is coming in fresh in the spring. Patrick and I used to be on thyroid medication for 15 years each but successfully removed ourselves from it over 9 years ago and have no issue with the lemon balm. I think as with anything, it is a matter of not doing anything in excess and this is also why have several herbs that can do the same thing is wise so one can switch it up. If you are interested in how we took ourselves off thyroid meds, here is the video we did a few years ago: ua-cam.com/video/toj7Sh4vNGY/v-deo.html
Lemon balm? Or its something else..
Please clarify what exactly your question is since I listed off many herbs in this video, I have no idea what part of the video you are referring to
