My 60 year old sister was in bad health; brittle diabetes, no thyroid, 2 kinda of arthritis. She had diarrhea for weeks, up to 30 times a day. The doctor said she had the worst type of fungal infection people can have. Her tongue looked like the bark of a tree. The symptoms were even worse, but you get the idea. She went from 185 pounds to 107 pounds. The doctors tried everything in their books, specialists included. Finally her daughter said 'mom is in bad shape what else can we do-. They said and I quote ' Don't worry, we won't let her suffer. When she gets bad enough, we'll call in hospice'. Don't worry!!! They as much as said we have exhausted everything we know to do; she's dying 😭 I am a firm believer in things that heal naturally, but I let her take the lead and she wanted to do what the doctors told her to do fully believing they could cure her. When she told me they had given up I asked would you like me to try a couple of things. Charcoal caplets mixed with other gut friendly things from our local Amish practitioner, slowed the watery, shredded tree bark diarrhea. I went though my herbs and started her on spilantes tea 3 times a day for a month. When I ran low, I talked to a lady in Idaho I think it is (don't have my catalogs at hand) and ordered some more, because she was improving. She suggested all heal. My sister did a month of that in tea 3 times a day; big improvement. Then we mixed them half and half for another month. She finally dared to stop the tea. After 6 months the diarrhea is mostly stopped. She has gained back up to 128 pounds and looks good! She looks especially healthy for a person the doctor was ready to keep comfortable until they died only a few months ago 😃

WOW, who knew! God has provided everything we could possibly need at our feet and most of us are totally unaware.

I grow it, and in mass it is beautiful when it blooms, and have used it for herbal remedies....I had stage four Lymphatic Cancer, and it helped me heal! A favorite herb of mine! We call it Heals All! Lol...

I retired and started to study herbalism last autumn. I was so excited to discover that my rural yard and property is full of Self-Heal! I had always wondered what those little purple flowers were. Medicine is all around us.

I use self heal as a fever reducer and headache reliever. It dropped my 103 fever down to 98 and got rid of my 4 day long migraine. WONDERFUL herb! Thank the Lord for providing us with natural medicine 😊

This grows all around me. I make teas with it daily. It clears up any respiratory and throat issues quickly.

One day I had had enough of a temporary depressive phase and just needed to shake it off. I couldn't bring myself to go for a walk, but I managed to go outside and sit in a nearby grassy area and hope that the sun and air would help. I tried to relax around all the bees that surrounded me, as there were a bunch of purple flowers and white clovers around. The sit down helped, but before I went back inside I grabbed a purple flower to ID at a later date. That date was this morning, and lo, you've uploaded a video about it! I like to think it helped me just by sitting around them! :) Good to know there are such beneficial plants all around us.

I found out about this plant in the beginning of Spring. I didn't have any moisturizer and while I was in the hospital for 10 weeks I dried out like a cactus. So, while walking in the fields around my new home I asked Allah to show me something that would help with this issue. I had made my lotion with my oils but no moisturizer. The next thing I looked around and there were tons of this beautiful purple flower! It was like a light switch, one minute I didn't see it the next it illuminated everywhere! So of course, being a modern day Muslim I used Sheikh Google to see what it was. And low and behold it was Self-Heal! Allah is truly Merciful! Our Creator is the So now, not only do I drink it to help with my many auto immune issues, I have a spray bottle of it in the bathroom. And when I make ablution (5 x a day and more) I spray the areas I washed to moisturize my skin. Alhamdullilah And of course after a shower, or really anytime I see the bottle I spray it on me to refresh myself and give some much needed self heal love. I have never had a "moisturizer" that made my skin feel the way this does (It feels like a baby's butt), and to know that I am healing my issues and inshaAllah preventing many more. Wow! There is no price tag for such healing! And it is FREE for us, we just need to go and pick it! And Yarrow, thank you so much for your wisdom and your humor and your ease of teaching. It is truly appreciated! Coming from someone who has battled illness all my life (I will be 56 at the end of this month), you are a breath of fresh air and truly sent from God. Thank you and may Allah continue to guide you and give you the resources to flourish by spreading HIS haqq (truths). Amin Amin Amin Salamu alaikum, (Peace be upon you)

This planet will not change until the people have a global shift in Consciousness. You are helping to achieve that. Thank you so very much

[Honeyfoxes..]

Hoping to heal my liver through the use of herbs and diet. So grateful to God for his gifts and to you for explaining the benefits and how to apply them to our lives.

This mighty herb showed up in my yard the day before my kitty had a terrible injury that ended up costing him his leg. Due to this plant he had zero infection and was able to heal pretty quickly. Then I recently and stupidly tried to introduce momma cat to a large dog and she wasn't having that. Decided to kick my ass! Bit and scratched my hand to the point I could not use it at all and my neighbor had to come feed me. I used my self heal salve and BOOM, it was healed literally in 4 days!!! I've always been able to make some amazing medicine, but this was just beyond anything I had expected. Not sure I've seen anything work so fast!

[jacoleneiu]

[chosenoneamerukanindian]

[Chickenface]

I met her! I was so tempted to pick it, I had a strong feeling about it, but since I didn't know exactly what to do with her I decided not to aaand there she is, again. Now I know.

[CrystalStarWitchery]

Kudos to the camera operator on this channel. Very nice work.

The funny thing is... I was just wondering what this plant was that I had in my yard and your video pops up. Very serendipitous. Thanks!
