My family in Mexico use it as a medicinal herb. Squeezed up a sprig into a small ball and put it in your ear for ear infection. I've tried and it worked!
I found it at the grocery store as a potted plant. It picked a piece off and tasted it. I bought the plant because I like raw taste. Bitter herbs are actually very good for cleansing the liver.
As an Ethiopian origin, i love rue, we call it Tena Adam. My mom used to give us when we where sick. Yes a lots of people used it in their coffee back home. Now I come across ur video cause I just got a Small branch from a friend house and is wondering how to plant it. Thank you 😊
I’m a new subscriber Carl. I grew up in Mexico and I remembered that my Mother and Grandmother use “Ruda” for ear aches and ear infection. Thank you for sharing Karl!
My parents grew up in Mexico too and they would use it for ear aches and stomach aches when we were little. My dad would also always have cinnamon, ruda, and hierbabuena (mint) teas. I need to go back and do these teas for us now too. ❤

is common in ethiopias traditional food making process. In every family garden you will get atleast one rue plant and included in coffee making, for shiro, treat some common health problems,...
Mom had a big rue bush and as kids, we wrestled and pushed each other into it. Pretty strong scent....never new its history...thank you for sharing! Glad I found your channel!
I have this plant this year from a garden center. Good to know the uses of this. It says in the tag that it repels mosquitos that's why I bought it. I'll try this in my coffee next time. I hope I'll like it too. Thank you! ❤️🙏
I began using some in my coffee as well, and really enjoy it! Some folks do have a dermal 'poison oak' like reaction, but I never have problems with it
Thank you for your comment regarding rue, especially for its use in coffee. I had read so many cautionary reviews, I was almost reluctant to try it as a Senior. But since I do not take any medications, I plan to try a little in my coffee. I love chicory coffee! And, a good friend from African said she uses it as a tea... Interesting.
Hi Karl, I have a baby rue waiting to be planted but I’m hesitating [even though I love eating a sprig in sweet mung bean soups my late mum used to make] because people say its stem sap burns + blisters the bare skin especially that of kids. So I wonder if you know whether I can grow it safely in a pot on a garden table, so that no kid will ever stumble/fall into it? Can I grow it in a small pot do you think, despite its shrubby looking root?
Great question! I just take a couple of sprigs, like I'm holding here, tear them up and put it in with the coffee grounds for a pour-over or in the espresso maker. Sorry for the late response, by the way. It's been a crazy few weeks! 🙃
I liked your video and wish you a good luck. I am from Saudi Arabia but I live currently in USA. I have been looking for this plant 🪴 Rue to use it in some recipes.
Bummer! Mine is near impossible to kill. I never water it. I'm in Maryland, since it's a Mediterranean plant it gets more than enough water from the rain.
@@Trailtotable I heard you can kill rue easily enough just by over-watering it. It thrives on neglect like rosemary, so one needs to be not a ‘controlling’ gardener but a ‘curator-steward’ type, I hear. I have one baby one but unsure at the moment whether to grow it just in case the kids fall into it. Its sap from broken stems will burn & blister the skin painfully on sunny days.
Look up Dr. Christopher’s ear and nerve tincture and also tissue and bone. Hot cayenne tincture taken before taking the herbs has had great results my friend. I’m not an herbalist but this has worked for their nerve pain in the cervical spine. There’s also a treatment that they did called Frequency Specific Microcurrent session. I’m not a medical professional or herbalist but just second hand what I’ve heard. People turn to herbs a lot and I’m just glad it worked for them.
You are right…it is an iconic herb of Ethiopia and one is used in the preparation of ‘Berbere’ and ‘Shiro’. We also use it to flavor our Coffee and tea. There are medicinal properties to rue and it’s used for stomachache and other ailments. It’s also revered as a protective herb against the evil eye.🪴

U boil it first to get the juice out for the ear or just put the plant in by itself in the ear ? U also wrap it around like a cotton or no
@@afeezadekunle9536 just squeeze it and roll it up into a wad and place it the your ear, not too deep.
Nice, I am Ethiopian I grow in my backyard. I drink it with coffee tea and just with hot water.

Please take in very small doses.

Place clean steam in water, it might root. It is best to get seeds.

Awesome! Thank you!
What are the instructions for the earaches

Thank you so much! Welcome to my channel!
Thanks for this. Hot chocolate made with water instead also tastes great with rue.. probably good in a mocha too
Wow! I need to try that! 😀

Going to have to try it in my coffee sounds good.. Id love to share seeds and plants great idea.
Great, I just posted a vid I did on Rue today and of course yours came up as a recommendation. I will try this in my coffee tomorrow, thanks!
I have made rue tea with sugar- tastes good no issues
I began using some in my coffee as well, and really enjoy it! Some folks do have a dermal 'poison oak' like reaction, but I never have problems with it

Fascinating ✨
Very medicinal plant! In Mexico it is used to make tea ☕️ So many health benefits!!!!
Never heard of this one. I've enjoyed cardamom, clove, ginger, and cinnamon in coffee before.
It's an Ethiopian thing. I really like it! 😁
Hi Karl’s thanks for the video I’m your new Sub this time keep it up.
Thanks man! Really appreciate it! 👍
My family drink Abuelita hot chocolate with rue and its so aromatic.
My mom says it helps relieve menstrual cramp pain.
I’m from Ethiopia my favorite plants
Ber ber ray
And the seeds are used for it
But Ethiopians do use it in coffee too
You are right it is Berbere and shiro we also use to relief cold and flu can boil it with milk and give it to the sick person.
Great info! Thank you!
How much rue would you put in 1 cup milk?
Cool

We use rue in a traditional sweet mung bean dessert in Asia :) How much do you add to coffee? Do you just tear it up and add it in?

Berbere😂 for coffee it is the best
I liked your video and wish you a good luck. I am from Saudi Arabia but I live currently in USA. I have been looking for this plant 🪴 Rue to use it in some recipes.
It's a wonderful ingredient! Good luck!
look in small nurseries mom and pop type.
Karol , bought on and it's died 😭 how often do you water it.? 🙄🙄🙄 Sad my Rue died.

Name and nature,,,,
It Is called Tenaadam in Ethiopia
It can cause a blistery rash on some people when they touch it.
What herb helps with nerve damage, burning, stabbing ? I’ve tried rue, it works but but for sciatica pain. What other Ethiopian herbs help
Sorry, I'm not an herbalist. I wish I could help!!!
How do u use it for nerve damage ? U jsut boil it with water and drink the juice ?

Castor oil & Heat Pad. also Marijuana. Maca powder stimulates testosterone and immune to help in general.
Man I been looking for this for years. How can I get some seeds?
Hey! Good question and easily answered. I got mine from a friend, but it's readily available online. Do a wed search and I'm sure you'll find some! 😉
Strictly medicinal seeds has them, among many other places! And many plant nurseries sell the whole plant as well!
