Hi Ryan, This is a good introduction to a few medicinal plants found in AZ. Would love more videos on medicinal plants that grow in the desert. Thanks for the video!
Thanks, Bear3ish! I’ll try to get some more videos like this happening, I have a few more up on my channel now, so check those out if you haven’t already.
Good video! Thanks. Maybe a few still photos close up. Maybe more specific on what they do... if it is a antihistamine or decongestant or topical pain relief. Also how to prepare it. Hey, that might be the next video. Where ever I am I enjoy searching, finding, collecting and using natural plants. Another good video is what to watch out for... whether poison or irritation or... Thanks for taking us along!!! Great trip! I love the wilderness where ever I am. My favorite book or Outdoor Survival Skills (Larry Dean Olson).
How cool! I’ve been wanting to forage jojoba out here and use it for my soap making, maybe crushing the nut shell and using it as an exfoliant. Now I need to try Mormon tea too. Thanks for the video, excited to watch more!
Jojoba is definitely and interesting plant. Let me know if you attempt the soap, I'd be interested to learn more on that process and also to hear how it turns out. And as for Mormon Tea, I definitely suggest trying it. I'm still exploring its effectiveness for medicinal use, but it makes a great tasting tea. Thanks for watching, Brianna!
First of all, I'm horrible at describing how things taste. But Mormon Tea isn't bitter at all. It's more of a mild...greenish taste. That's the best I can do as far as description--sorry. I love to brew it up when I'm out wandering in the desert, but I keep some at home too because I like it. Sometimes I sweeten it up with a little stevia, but it doesn't really need it.
Let me know how you like it. And make sure you collect the right stuff--there's a couple other plants that look similar from a distance, and they often grow in the same area as the Mormon Tea. The joints through the Mormon Tea stems are one of the best indicators that you have the right plant, but it's always best to play it safe and make absolutely sure you know how to ID the plant.
Joaquin -Jack Nava it taste mildly green, refreshing, and it makes the city water taste clean with a strong silicate taste. If you familiar with horse tail it taste similar to that.

@@AdventureRyan thanks! I'll check out the book, too.
Good stuff, AR!
I’ll be moving to Arizona soon and your videos have been incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I'm glad you've found something helpful from my videos, and I hope you enjoy Arizona.

Good stuff. How does the Mormon tea taste like. Is it bitter?

Adventure Ryan than you sir I’m Gona try if I can find it. Would love to taste it. Thanks again for the reply.

Adventure Ryan thanks for the advice. I will research it and try to get close photos of it.

Mike Eureka lots here in western Colorado, too.
Try Jojoba for hair shampoo.
