Health Benefits of Self Heal + Two Self Heal Recipes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- The health benefits of the self heal plant are so amazing! Sadly, self heal (Prunella vulgaris) is often overlooked or dismissed as an unwanted weed. But that’s a mistake! In this episode, I’m going to share some fascinating new research on self heal, especially in regards to skin health and cancer.
The versatile self-heal plant is also a great herb to turn to for many everyday health complaints. For example, self heal can help to relieve:
► Minor scrapes, cuts, and burns
► Sore throats
► The itchy, weepy redness of conjunctivitis
► and much more…
I’ll also share two favorite self heal recipes in this episode to protect your skin and keep you cool.
You don’t want to miss making friends with this lovely and gifted little herb! After listening in, you’ll know:
► How self heal’s energetics inform its medicinal uses (and where to learn more about herbal energetics!)
► How to identify self heal
► How to make a delicious, demulcent, super-refreshing self heal tea
► How to make a deeply soothing and nourishing self heal skin serum (your skin will thank you)
Show snippet: “Don’t dismiss this powerful weed! Reach for self heal to cool you down, protect your skin, heal wounds, ward off viral infections, and even to address thyroid health.” (Timestamp: 12:13)

When we moved in to our new Missouri home in 2015, to a 2 acre semi-wild wooded lot, we had about a 10 ft. swathe of heal-all growing next to the driveway. I'd never seen it before, and asked the neighbors if it was a weed or something planted. It finally bloomed (at 3 ft. high in its shady bed), and I used my books to identify it as heal-all, exactly one day before the deer ate every bloom, as though a five foot high lawn mower had trimmed the tops. I infused it in oil and added it to comfrey and calendula oils, and there may have been some jewelweed in there too---I was very unscientific about it. It's the most healing salve I've made to date.... I'm finding that it moves itself all over our yard, growing in different places each year. Thank you so much for this video... I haven't even finished watching it yet, but I'll watch it again, you can be sure.....
Prunella is about my favorite lawn herb. I love her! She heals a sore throat and canker sores quickly. Since c****, it has helped me manage a chronic sore throat and Digestive biofilm issue. Thank you for bringing attention to self-heal.
I live in SW Missouri about ten miles from Branson on a ridge above Bull Shoals Lake. Just a week ago I noticed the tiny purple flowers on self heal growing in our yard so I plucked some to find out what it is. After watching some videos here I decided to eat a couple of the flower pods. To my surprise I could really feel it, and it kicks in pretty fast and feels really good! The next day I went out to see how much is growing out there and was thrilled to find there is a lot, so I've been munching a few of the flower pods everyday since and it's really good stuff! Personally I like it better fresh but it's still good dried. I'll be making some tea with it soon see how that works too.
We live just east of Mountain Home and also have self-heal growing. I've been foraging it to make tincture and tea:)
Thank you Rosalee! 😊❤
Thank you! 💚
I’ve never heard of self heal and yes, it really resembles bugleweed! Thanks for the lesson and the extra tidbit at the end is a treat ☺️ wishing you a lovely week! ♥️
Hey Rosalee, love your tutorials. I just found a huge patch of Self heal on our property a few days ago. I'm so excited! I think this is the one for a lifetime 🌿🌙💚
Thank you for all those beautiful information. You are awesome.🤓😎
Thanks Roselle. I'm loving your videos ,teaching, I'm learning so much.
I'm so glad!
Thank you so much; this is one of my go-to herbs for tea and salves. I can't wait to try the other recipes!🥰
Thanks Rosalee. Great video. My mom loves self heal tea. I also use it in a skin salve. I think I harvested about a half gallon out of my yard this year.
Thanks for sharing your self heal benefits and recipe 🤩!
I'm new to your channel and love your work. Generous, informative, great presentation and course materials are fantastic. I want to give you a great big hug! 🥰I'm going to look for some prunella now to make a thrust spray as my son has tonsillitis!
A beautiful video
I always enjoy your channel. Thank You : )
Glad you enjoy it!
thank you
Awesome, thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Thankyou so so much for this info. I found self heal in my yard this summer. I harvested and later dug up and potted it to replant in a plot this Fall. I hope the transfer works 🙏
I LOVE your Wild Remedies book!!! 🌿💚🌱🌿
Oh thank you! Have a lovely day!
Happy Birthday dear teacher. I have a spike of self heal on my altar
Thank you Rosalie I love herbs and plant medicine. I cut the flowers before I mow the lawns!
I recently purchased self-heal seeds to add it to my growing herb garden.
This video was timely, as I could not get the information I needed to identify what I've been collecting all summer. Thank you. I feel confident now to use internally as well as externally. You answered all of my questions, understood what I needed to know in order to proceed. I really appreciate your videos. Please keep up the good works.
Glad it was helpful!
Is there an ideal time to harvest self-heal for best medicinal quality? I noticed Mountain Rose sells it as a mix of bloom/leaf, so I'm guessing the best time to harvest is 'while its bloom'?
I love your videos ❤
Thank you for your work. I've been dabbling with healing herbs for a while now. I found prunella on my front lawn but didn't know how to use it. I have a plant id app on my phone called Picture This and it gives good info but no real directions for use. I also have comfrey, yarrow, St. Johns wort, hawthorn, willow, and many more growing wild here. I am working on a food forest to help me titrate my chemical meds and go fully natural. I appreciate the work you do. Thanks
Just ordered this book last night 😁 I had it on kindle before but there is nothing lile having the actual book. Excited to receive it! ❤
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for this video. This was one of the herbs in my book for animals and I was wanting to learn more. 😁
Please share, what is the name of the herb book for animals you are referring?

Hi, are we able to put self heal, lady’s mantle, and turmeric and black pepper into a tincture together
I sometimes have an issue with sudden loss of energy, one minute I feel fine and the next it's like a plug was pulled and all my energy and strength just drained out of me. Is there an herb or herbs I can research to help combat that? or does one of your videos discuss this? I am so glad to have found your videos, I love to learn new things. thank you
Beetroot and sting nettle
I started growing self heal this year. I have it in 3 places around the garden. It’s starting to flower, so I want to harvest a little bit. I’m just looking for ways to use it. Thanks for the information!
That is awesome!
Is there a specific method of using self heal to combat boils?
Thank you for this video, I will definately look at purchasing the book. I was wondering if self heal would be good for menopause issues like hot 🔥 🥵 flashes as it is a cooling herb.
Great question! I’d love to hear the answer to that. 🥵
I don't know the answer to your question about self heal. But I did find that if you type menopause in the search bar inside Rosalee's channel, it pulls up several videos with helpful information. Some of the top results were "Stinging Nettle Benefits," the interview with Kat Maier (which included a tincture recipe for hot flash relief), and "Motherwort Benefits with Maria Noël Groves." Hopefully that helps while you're waiting for a reply specifically about self heal and menopause. 😊
I haven't downloaded bonus chapters yet. I'm not sure how that works. But last year I made a self heal tincture. Any tips on how to use? My self heal is blooming now, so I'm anxious to harvest and create. My echinacea isn't blooming yet so would leaves be ok to add to the flowers of Yarrow and self heal, for throat spray?
Thanks for such an informative overview of self-heal! It volunteers in my yard.
I wonder if Marshmallow can be used in place of Mallow in the recipe. I have a glorious Marshmallow plant.
Yes you can!
@@HerbsWithRosalee Thank you!
Rosalee, Thank you for another great tutorial. I did purchase your book, WILD REMEDIES, and am joyfully devouring it. At the back of the book is your offer for the three bonus chapters but, when I type in that address, it comes up as URL not found. Do you have any suggestions for another way that I can access this download? Thank you very much.
My apologies… I left a word “book” out. I’ve accessed the site now.
Do you have a list of herbs safe to use during pregnancy?
I put self heal in a daily tea, I'm aperson who thinks microdosing this and that is beneficial..but I hav a jar of self heal infused oil tor salve making as well!!
Thank yoy for the video end the informations.
Is self heal herb the same with ajuga herb? They look the same for me.
It's not the same plant. Try looking at them side by side to see their differences.
@@HerbsWithRosalee Thanks for the replay.
I want to ask you,from whwre can I buy the herb,self heal?
I am from Canada,Ontario,thank you.
Rosalee, are there any other plants that have square stems that I could be confusing with self heal. What I think is self heal here in SE Tennessee is more of a light purple flower. It doesn’t look very much like the one you’re showing, but it does have a square stem, with leaves that resemble mint leaves.
Wendy, I don't know if I'm supposed to comment to you but our self heal in Oklahoma is a light purple as well. If you have a plant identifier on your phone , I just have Google lens on mine. It's not always 💯 percent, but you can check your findings.
The flowers color can range from light to dark purple. If it has the square stem, and tiny snapdragon-like purple flowers on a cone-ish flower head, it is very likely self-heal. Pretty much any plant ID app should get this one right as it is so common. In any case, if it has a square stem it is something in the mint or vervain families.
