I had nerve damage after having a T.I.A. (mini-stroke) about 10 years ago. The T.I.A. was caused by sleeping in a home where there was a "smart meter" installed on the outside - just on the other side of my head where I was sleeping. After 5 months - I had a mini stroke. Anyway, I recovered - and moved out. Nothing like this has happened since. I had tons of stress after the T.I.A. and would have mini breakdowns often - way too often! So a good friend - who is an herbalist and kind of like you - walked in his house - after I told him what I was going through - and handed me a bottle of skullcap and said take this! I took it immediately. And It helped - IMMEDIATELY! I took it for 5 months and am convinced that skullcap healed the nerve damage - 100%!!!! So happy to see this video as I trust you and your knowledge of herbs! THANK YOU!
Omg that sounds like what has happened to me ! I know it had something to do with the smart meter but no one is saying anything I think because of Covid! I’m going to try skullcap-thanks for commenting!
I'm a herb nerd 😁 I talk to plants the same way. My trees have names and my grandbabies hug them barefoot. I'm in awe! Everytime I look for a new friend, she shows up. It makes me giddy realizing I've been surrounded by them for decades and called them weeds🤦♀️😂 Every year they look healthier. They're bringing my "impossible" vision of permaculture, food forest and natural healing pardise to reality. We support each other to feed, heal and love. My apothecary is beyond what I thought possible 2yrs ago. Medical emergencies, pain and suffering have been avoided numerous times for myself and determined doubters. Nature's magic leads my soul❤ Thank you for sharing your passion, knowledge and time😇
Hello Yarrow. I've been making and sharing Skullcap tea in the early evening for quiet a while, to help relax and prepare for a good night's sleep. It's one of my favourite nervines.
I've been studying for a bit now and of several of my teachers and books you are by far my favorite to learn from. Thank you for these wonderful teachings. You will see me going through all your videos :). I do use this herb as well and it's combined with camomile and whatever I feel led to add at the time or situation.
I have seizures if I’m not medicated. I haven’t had a seizure in many years but when I tried going off my prescription I did have a seizure. I have been harvesting skullcap for the past 5 years in hopes I can get off my prescription and just use skullcap. I have my doctors support he just said he knows nothing about it. So my question is how would one wean themselves off of the prescription and ease into the skullcap at the same time? I also have the support from my chiropractor. I have been practicing herbal medicine for the past 5 years and love it. You are my favorite herbalist
In addition to Skullcap, if I were you having seen the synergistic effect Skullcap has when taken with other herbs like mentioned in this video. I would add those in and gradually take less and less of the Rx. The formula I saw stop a petit mal seizures permanently was called "Nerve Restore" by Quantum Herbal. Unfortunately they are no longer around but their formula included Skullcap, Oat Seed, Orange Peel and leaf, Celery Seed, lavender, Coffee Bean and kola nut.t.
Your message leads to the best way to do this. If it were me, I would slowly easing into skullcap when working with this type of thing, also not in too large of a dosage to begin with. Working with a herbalist or other practitioner around this is ideal to get feedback and modify as you see benefits or challenges that may come up. May even want to start a low dosage while still on prescription. Though this is not meant to be medical advice. You need to take responsibility for your chooses and notice/modify as you get feedback from your body.
I don't think we are struggling with mental health, but rather with social health, it's rather coping mechanisms related so social lack/imbalances. Love
How long would these tincture last? I found some I made 5 years ago the other day. Also there is a laughter effect if you over do it that might be worth mentioning. Thanks great video as always.
Poifect, I was just wondering if there was a native for stress that I could use instead of Lemon Balm perhaps. I grow this herb already :D Also I use Lemon Balm for Chronic EBV which is very similar to Long Covid and it changed my life, so if this works just as well thats amaaazing.
absolutely, just do a bit of research on ideal habitat as I have seen some folks have a hard time growing it, while others find it very easy. Really depends on the location it is placed
Have you tried growing skullcap as a microgreen? If so, do you have a source for purchasing bulk seeds? I've been growing cilantro and broccoli microgreens and would love to start growing herbs as microgreens as well. Thanks for all the education you've provided through your videos.
Love this! I'm going to find out if skullcap grows in New Hampshire! I like to use Ghost Pipe tincture as a nervine. After learning about this plant, I can't help but wonder what a combination of those two, plus hericium mushrooms would be like! Thank you!
Hello Yarrow, your work is amazing! So much information, I have been following for quite some years and I absolutely love the way you work with the plants and you present them to us. We are so lucky to have you around….✨ I have tried skullcap with oat and passionflowers and it is incredible. I grow my own plants and I am in my way for the first harvest. Yeah!! Any contraindications or interactions with medication we have to be aware? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 🌿🌱🏵️
sounds like I need this herb in my life. Ive been using and (growing, well the Lemon Balm has been spreading and growing on it's own very happily)for the reasons you mention especially grounding and trying to remain comfortable in public settings. Would you say Skullcap works even better? I think lemon balm has been helping with anticipatory anxiety mostly in my case.
I adore your talks *** I am suffering with a chronic kind of IBS pain ? Right side torso under breast line and to the back. Any suggestions please. Thank you
Look into candida, fungus overgrowth & start healing the gut. Antibiotics are horrific for killing off the good bacteria, so much stems from damaged gut health.
Thank you! 🫶🌱🫶 I have bought a skullcap tincture last year and I found it really helpful with my general anxiety, so I grew some myself this year. It’s just started to bloom a bit now and I was wondering when to harvest… I expected way more blooms actually, but mine look just like these in the video, so I should be good! 👌

Wow that’s amazing ! Is there a specific brand you used ? Was it in tincture form ?
I love that you talk to the plants.

Ya its a favourite of mine as well as you can see. I use skullcap regularly for nerve support
I use Chinese Skullcap for Lyme disease, and as a sleep aid, it definitely helps.
I wanna be like this man he is my idol 😊
First step is training the mind. Get in there and DO a herbalism course. Action
I've been waiting for something like this to appear.

Seems like a good herb to add to the farm.

@@Herbal_Jedi I'll have to swing by and take a look. 😊
Thanks soooo much for this video and content!!

I haven’t tried that. Could be interesting. Would love to hear if you try that.
Horizon herbs is a great place to it get seeds.

Thanks. I enjoy learning about these herbs. Do you have a recommendation for scabies? In south Texas it's an occasional outdoor plague.
Sorry, how do you not know vitamin c will address this?
❤
I use skullcap with crampbark to keep my blood pressure down.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can Chinese skullcap be used alongside antibiotics ? I’m currently on a course but love to start it asap given all the benefits
I like skullcap, lemon balm & st johns . Just as a "don't give a s**t tonic." If I'm having a tough day.
Can this be used safely with mimosa flowers?
Yes
Where are you,,,,? Near Mendo or Sonoma?
I am in Canada, West coast Vancouver island
