I have been really blessed with the information that you give me. We have had relief from allergy with this information. Keep up the great work and be blessed….
Studying herbalism on my own and kept asking, "why cant i use ragweed leaf in small amounts to innoculate against pollen allergies in the tradition of homeopathy?" All i kept getting from experienced herbalists was "noooooo, too many are allergic to it!" You have validated my thought process and instincts. Thank you for this video. I will proceed with caution.
You’re right. There have been NIH studies that have proven that more sterile homes lead to allergies. Pet-free homes and high-temp dishwashers are both associated with risk of developing allergies. A friend of mine came from a home with very limited food exposure. She and her siblings all had a variety of food allergies. Between the 3 of them, there were at least 20 foods they couldn’t eat.
I’m so glad to see something useful for this! My goodness I’m overrun with this at my place in east Texas! So glad I came across this! You can also check out Doc with Homegrown Herbalists page. Wonderful information, he also used plant medicine in his veterinary practice.
And thank you for not being so dismissive of this information and herbs. I wish I could say the same thing about others in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. I've actually taken things into my body in the past to alleviate symptoms of things bothering me .
You are a treasure that I “stumbled” upon on UA-cam. I love foraging and every forager I watched was usually from north/. northwest so most plants they talk about are irrelevant to me. Thank you!
I have this herb growing all over on my property ( time stamp 3:45) I'm in south west oregon at 1800 ft above sea level. and heard no no no, not even bees eat it. wow I can hardly wait to get busy with this beautiful herb that smells fantastic. I thought it was in the mugwort family. but found it to be rag weed. I planted golden rod to give my pollinators food in the dearth.
You knew many people used plants for medicine because so many plants were brought from the Old Country to this country On Purpose. The Indians, of course, used what was available and learned each plant's use. What a shame that so much knowledge was lost over the years. Thank you, Matthew, for restoring some of that knowledge to a new generation.
I have both kinds all over my yard and deep East Texas. I've noticed over the years my dog eats both plants. I had the theory that she was eating them for her allergies. She doesn't eat grass. Just those two plants among a handful of other plants around the yard and woods. I have giant ragweed out here 2-3 meters tall & common ragweed 1-2 meters tall.
I see these leaves in my yard and for a heartbeat I think it's a passionfruit (passiflora incarnata) and then realize it was just "that weed I always think is either Sassafrass or passionfruit before I'm disappointed" . But now I know what it is, thanks!
You have one of the most useful channels on UA-cam. Absolutely fantastic content brother. I'm taking notes because we're going to need all of this knowledge very very soon.
Quercetin, Bromelain, Diamine Oxidase, ACV, and Stinging Nettle leaf are also good options. For topical, I just rub an onion on me (and/or ACV) - works great.
@@grammlin If you are interested in an all natural ACV. Save your apple scraps, cores, skins, etc. You can freeze them until you have enough to fill the jar you are going to ferment in. Fill the jar, but do not pack it. Make sure you let it all defrost. Add about 3/4 cup of sugar per quarter jar. Add distilled water and dissolve the sugar. I usually add about a teaspoon of yeast (I use my baking yeast). Cover the jar with a piece of cloth secured by a rubber band. Set it aside in a warm space away from direct sunlight. You basically are making wine and then allowing the air to change it to vinegar.
I really appreciate you sharing your herbal knowledge! Question about this one: are there any contraindications or reactions with medications or other herbs?
I had seen a video on Giant Ragweed where they said the native indians even made a soap with the ragweed leaves & cooked down fat or another available base to make the soap. They could scent the soap with native flowers or mint. It was like an antiseptic soap.
I'm gonna venture to guess that with antihistamine properties, ragweed soap would be good for skin rashes or hives due to allergies. Adding mint to it gives you the "cooling" effect of the menthol to help reduce irritation.
Supposedly if you take a spoonful of raw local honey every day during allergy season the pollen spores in it will help reduce allergies. I don't have allergies so I just use honey in my tea because I love it.
My son is allergic to basically everything outside, except poison ivy. lol he’s even allergic to honey. He is medically labeled as a severely allergic individual. He’s never been anaphylactic. Thank God, but he has gotten severe hives a few times. So what’s he do…. He gets a job working for a lawn & landscape company. He’s in his 4th year working there. He’s a foreman now. His allergies have improved a bit. They’re still bad but much improved too. He just pushes through bc he loves his work. I’m into foraging, and i was just wondering what wonderful use God created ragweed for bc i know everything has a purpose. His word says He provided every plant as food and/or medicine so I knew it wasn’t worthless….& it is absolutely everywhere here in SE MI. I’ll be making tea and tincture from it now. Maybe mixing some nettles in.

I had really horrible fall allergies. Lungs would fill up with fluid. Started keeping bees. I would bottle up whole comb honey largely because I didn't own a honey extractor at the time. That whole comb usually had cells filled with pollen in them. Long story short a couple of seasons eating that and I no longer had fall allergies. No more than about a pint jar's worth per season. The very first season I had relief. The past couple of seasons I haven't even jarred up or eaten any honey. This fall will be a good test. So far so good.
@@PureU0ArtificialI’m allergic to everything but poison ivy. I wonder if that is a common thing. Being allergic to a lot of stuff, then not being allergic to something most people are allergic to?

I had a skin reaction to soap that some one gave me, glad I only used on my arms and hands, skin peeled off, it was awful. But now im sensitive to even dust on my skin, so this is worth trying, been searching , excited to use it. Thanks so much
I love your level of detail. If you had a teachable course or something where it was self paced and organized by concept, like leaf arrangement and harvest time, etc i would be all down for it. I think another thing holding me back from what you currently offer is i live in Oklahoma and afraid it will be a bunch of stuff not applicable to us
Thank you Matthew for sharing your video very good information I just would have liked to have found it earlier in the season of spring summer now that it is cold in Winter I doubt if I can find it
So happy that I found you here on UA-cam because I'm in love with herbs and found another world of beauty in the so called weeds everywhere and herbal medicine ❤ Thank you and God bless!
🌄🏞 I knew it was ragweed. Just knew it. Makes ok tea, just dry it completely, and place in a tidely closed jar. Make sure you know the plants, and are not confusing any.
I have this on my property in WNC. I used an app and it said it was wild carrott. Thanks for the additional information on what to look for on the plant. I'm wondering can my Shihtzu use it for her allergies. They have such large eyes, they just run. In Summer months it's worse. The medicine she was on Claritin didn't really do much and so she is on another human medication, but it makes her drowsy like me when I take it. She has been having reverse sneezing and it's hard to watch. I took her to emergency vet a week ago. I'm just wondering if she can take those medications why couldn't she take something natural.

It sure does!! I have this exact plant sprouting up next to my back patio, and for weeks I’ve been going back and forth between if I should make root beer with it or party with it, lol. Good thing I didn’t do either!! 😂
Hey Green, I recall you mentioning that in your video on the plant. I've been following your videos and articles for over 10 years! I did a walk with you at the Florida earth skills gathering one year. Thanks for commenting!
Q: Is the main stem of giant ragweed round, or square (like a mint). I would assume round, but it would be useful to know. The pic wasn't clear enough for me to determine. It was easier with the common ragweed example.
This may be a silly question, but do you use the tincture topically? Or internally? Interested in this because we have guinea pigs indoors and my husband's eyes itch. Collected ragweed this AM in SW WI today before it flowered. Also collected goldenrod and will be doing the same. Collected some ragweed to dry for tea as well.
The tincture is used internally but the leaves can also be made into a salve for use on the skin. For the eyes you can try making a tea and using it as an eyewash(dip a clean towel in the tea and dab it on the eyes). I haven't used this as an eyewash before but I don't see a reason it wouldn't be effective. Thanks for watching!
Drink it for allergies, but for allergic skin reactivity you can absolutely use it on the skin as well. For a tea, you can make it hot or cold. I make it hot.

Awesome, thanks for subscribing! I started with a whole lot of books lol
You’re a gem, thank you for the info!
always very complete information, including the taxonomic names.
Tomorrow, I will be out collecting rag weed leaves. Thank you. I had not heard or seen this use of rag weed before.
Awesome! Definitely let us know if it works for you!
started going down the rabbit hole of your videos and finally just subbed! looking so forward to learning and practicing my usage of wild things😊
Great videos. It would be very helpful to have the plant name in the title. Thanks

Awesome, glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
Great videos for sure. I'm gonna try this out for my son's allergies that seem to possibly be from the pollen of ragweed and probably other stuff too.

So interesting ... we call the giant ragweed, cigger weeds ... when we were young. lol Glad to learn about the different ragweeds. Thanks for sharing.

Makes ok tea, just dry it completely, and place in a tidely closed jar. Make sure you know the plants, and are not confusing any.
love the information, but ive always understood that you want to dry your herbs before making a tincture.

Do we drink them or just rub it on our skin, both the tea and tincture? For the tea, do you use hot water or cold water?
Drink it for allergies, but for allergic skin reactivity you can absolutely use it on the skin as well. For a tea, you can make it hot or cold. I make it hot.
