Doc Jones's knowlege never ceases to amaze me! I'm so behind on my medicinal herb growing, but I'm working on it.
Glad you enjoyed it Maria.
Doc Jones
Right there with you!
I absolutely love learning from you and Doc Jones. He has wonderful books.
Solomon Seal is my go to for tendon issues.. I make a salve from it for my stiff neck and tendinitis.
Love, love, love you both. I’m currently stocking our herbal medicinal cabinet with some of Doc Jones’s products plus I’ve recently purchased my organic seeds to start my own this next Spring.
Having a little herb garden on hand is an amazing resource.
Doc Jones
Love Doc Jones. He's my mentor and I've been in his school for years! What I've learned about herbal medicine has made me able to care for our family at home. Doctor visits are rare for us and synthetic meds are almost unheard of. His school has empowered our family.
It's great to know that herbs are safe for our animals as well as for us.
The differences between veterinary herbalism and human herbalism are few and far between. I've used these same plants in my vet practice for years.

I cut the tip of my finger pretty good while chopping veggies the other day. It was bleeding pretty profusely and I thought I would have to go to the emergency room. Then I remembered a Doc Jones video where he said that cayenne was great for bleeding. I duped some on and the bleeding stopped immediately. I was amazed and have been telling people about cayenne for bleeding ever since. I would tell them about yarrow also, but it would be less likely they would have that on hand.
Love you both!!! Dr Jones, thank you! I recently bought your sting/bite/wound travel kit. It seemed the best way to try several samples at once without taking up allot of space. Good thing I did. About a week later I accidentally sliced the side of my finger, next to my nail, while slicing veggies. It just kept bleeding! I remembered your kit, and tried putting the herbs directly on the area. Which was very strange to me, having been taught keep everything sterile, sterilized, so as not to introduce infection. I really had to have a conversation in my head while doing so! Lol! Glad I did, the bleeding stopped within the hour! So impressed! I treated as recommended. You would never know I recently cut myself! Even the nerves are feeling normal again! Thank you!
It's a great little kit. Glad it helped.
Doc Jones
Great video. I’m taking Doc Jones’ herbal course and I’m learning so much, highly recommend it!
Glad you're enjoying the school.
Doc Jones
I’m learning a ton from Doc Jones. Thank you!!!
DR Jones is amazing. Need to take notes while I watch his videos ❤
What a wealth of information in just this one video!❤❤❤
And we were barely scratching the surface of what Melissa's wonderful green friends can do. :0)
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist that's so true! I love learning everything I can about herbs. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your knowledge!
Thank you both so much for sharing! I will watch again with my note pad 💜 I was also happy to know that I am already growing some of these herbs! I have used yarrow to stop bleading.
What a great video. It answered a few of my questions that I have been trying to find answers for ages.
thank you for all of this information. I have many of these tinctures, salves and oils, already, but I continue to learn how they can be used.
Wow! Thank you!❤
Awesome!
Doc Jones is such a blessing!!!
Amazing!!!’❤❤❤❤
Love these videos
Amazing. Thank you ❤
Thank you thank you!
Great video. Last year i got stung by several hornets and first thing i went for was plaintain. I made plaintain salve. I need to make tentures. I have lots of burdocks growing and used to dig them up to get rid of. No more. This year i did my share of foraging, but i have so much more to learn.
Thank you!!!❤❤❤
good info! 😊❤
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Wonderful video
just as a note from someone with lethal allergies: if you have an antihistamine (even benedryl powder/gel/liquid) place it UNDER the tongue. first of all someone fighting to breathe probably cant swallow, secondly it will absorb almost instantly. i was taught by EMTS when i had my first anaphylaxis reaction and didnt have an epi pen (epi, epinephrin- the ingredient is found in the morman tea plant)
Blessings ❤🎉😊
Great video. Thank you so much
Excellent information, thank you
Thanks for such a great video! I'm so excited that some of the plants you talked about i had already started growing this past summer.
Completely new to medicinal herbs! Excited to learn all that I can! Thank you for doing this video!
Wow I learned so much from this video! I grow many of the herbs that you mentioned, but I often don't know what to do with them so I dry and store them. Tinctures and powders... I'm diving into my herb books. Thank you both for the inspiration.
Having them growing and then learning about them when you need them is safer than learning about them first and not having them when you need them. :0)
Doc Jones
My Fever Few plant is in full bloom right now. I need to get the book out to find out what to do with all the beautiful flowers.
This video was Great! Super helpful and detailed. Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Doc Jones
Wow! That was like drinking from a firehose!! Thank you for all the info!
LOL. Yeah, the silly plants are all doing so many things. I tell them they ought to narrow their number of actions but they never listen to me.
@@HomeGrownHerbalist 😂
@@HomeGrownHerbalist I have been amazed at how many plants seem to be useful for EvErYtHiNg. My husband and I have been joking that, no matter what the issue is, just go grab a handful of whatever's growing in the yard, eat it, and that will fix it!
New to this. Can Yarrow be used on animals?
I highly recommend fresh ginger poultice for your daughters ankle. It works wonders for pain and inflammation. Barbara O'Neill on YT has a video on it.
I live in a plot of forest that has several wild medicinal herbs growing. Knowing what to do with them has been my issue for the last year or so.
With a little study, you'll be amazed how much medicine you're surrounded with.
How long does a tincture last? Do they lose their effectiveness over a couple months?
I have over 2 dozen medical conditions and I suffer with a lot of chronic pain, nerve, muscle and joint pain. What would you suggest I use? I also have severe autism and food is a big problem for me so I need something that’s really sweet and palatable
Any kind of pine needle tincture?
I followed link to podcast. In podcast, did not see link to your guest's course she speaks of. Sorry! Please help.
The course is The HomeGrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine. There's a link to my site on my channel page.
@@HomeGrownHerbalist thank you! Will research further. Making an apple crisp right now! Lol!
Husbands require constant supervision... i feel that deeply in my SOUL
Always carry a tourniquet!
I knew about yarrows blood stopping properties so when I accidentally cut my dogs nail to short and it bled so I quickly put yarrow on and the bleeding stopped right away as expected, but then when I looked on line it said no yarrow internally for dogs. Is this false?
Thank you for making this video. I'm inspired to start a herbal garden in Spring. Just like yarrow, all colors in echinacea have the same medical property?
No, just the 2 purple echineceas are medicinal.
Purperea and augustofolia are what you want!
Stick with Echinacea purpurea or E. angustifolia (the E. purpurea is way easier to grow and way more productive BTW) but make sure it's a native-looking unadulterated variety. There has been a lot of cross breeding and line breeding in Echinacea and I think some of the fancy, cosmetically altered varieties are pretty questionable as medicine.
Doc Jones
What about infused oils of these too? Does it do the same? or are tinctures more powerful? and what ratio of plant to alcohol(vodka), can you make it too strong by using more herb in tinctures that would make you need to have proper ratio? Which bark of these trees is strongest, weakest? Willows have a lot of different varieties, white isn't the same as weeping, so not enough info on specifics since I'm also moderately new at tinctures, infusions, poltices, powders, etc...I can't afford to take some course, so need specifics please...have SOME books and uses of internet, but internet can have false info too...Advise? please?
Live workshop?! Where? When?! Darn! Would love that, with both of you!
Melissa and her crew did an amazing job...no surprise there. :0)
Let's hope they do a repeat!

Your detailed written info was extremely helpful. Ty
QUESTION: I see when looking for seeds there a few different kinds of mullein. Can you use any kind of medical or just a certain one?
If it's being sold by a legitimate herb company and is in the Verbascum genus, it's probably fine. I usually use Verbascum thapsus.
I love those cute overalls, where did you buy them??
Duluth!
What herbs would be good for a dislocated shoulder?
That's a mechanical problem that just needs to be put back in by a professional.
@@HomeGrownHerbalist i meant what is good for it after it is back in socket. What will help tendons heal or torn muscle if any? Thank you!
@@lillyw4710 Comfrey topically is good for healing those structures. Put a spray top on the tincture bottle. :0)

How long does a tincture last?
Alcohol ones 7 years
Tinctures are good for many years. If you're using them like you should, they'll be long gone before they aren't medicinal anymore.
Is there a discount to join the class $900 is a good deal but for this old lady on disability it might as well be a million.
None of my classes are that much money. I'm not sure what class you're referencing
Is this type of information in a book the we can buy??
