    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 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.

      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 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.

    • @reibersue4845
      @reibersue4845 2 місяці тому +11

      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.

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.

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.

    The one plant I have seen instant allergic reactions to is Dysphania ambrosioides, formerly Chenopodium ambrosioides, known as epazote.

      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!

    Can this be used with a decarboxylator/infuser instead of the alcohol?

    Will a ragweed tea or tincture be able to produce drowsiness.

    That giant ragweed I've only ever heard it called blood weed. I'm in SE Texas

    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!

    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?

    • @LegacyWildernessAcademy

      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.
