As a pharmacist working in a hospital and clinical setting, I would suggest that if you have questions about any contraindications for use of any herbals, to run it by a pharmacist, as we have more resources and training on naturally derived medicines, and whether an herbal interacts with diseases or other medicines.

From my experience, physicians generally dismiss complementary alternative medicines altogether, in part due to a lack of knowledge, as well as over reliance on pharmaceuticals.

I recommend Strictly Medicinal Seeds as a sourcing for your herbal medicinal needs. Large variety, great people who are very helpful.

Dandelion & burdock ~we used to drink that when i was young. It was a favourite for most children. You could buy it as a fizzy drink, then take the bottle back and get your sixpence. We used to make elderflower champagne too & rosehip syrup for winter colds

This woman is AWESOME!!!! Her knowledge base is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

[gafairbanks]

Creator didn't place us here without all we needed to heal ourselves. Mother Earth holds all our healing properties- we just need to find them.
Great presentation I just subscribed! LOL 🦚

[susanpratt]

Am so enjoying learning this! Would you next show how to harvest, store, use ect. these eight great plants. (How does one best dry. How to tincture.) Thank you.🙂

This content kept me engrossed for all 52 minutes! I really enjoy how you use and present studies and peer reviewed papers along side your own knowledge and experience. So many people just say “this is how it is” and one is expected to take the word of a stranger on YouTube as absolute truth. And even though those strangers may be 100% accurate with their information, it’s hard to trust just anything you come across these days. You bring a variety of proof to the table and it is greatly appreciated.

I am so in love with herb's and making and using them as medicine. It's drawing me and exciting me to learn and grow and preserve wonderful things from God who gave us all of this for our health. Thank you g or your information and looking forward to learning more. 💕

Interesting fact, in Botany, "Invasive" means "Not Native". Also... For decades, and still all states have programs that spray poison on these natural, healthy and abundant plants instead of educating and encouraging the public to forage. This has got to stop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and leading the way. Love and respect. Peace

Timestamps (Spoilers): (edit: I'm slowly watching this video in pieces and making the Table of Contents as I go. Thanks for your patience!)

I lived in Florida. A hurricane was coming in. My daughter was breast fed. She might have been 2 monrhs old, if that. Her paternal grandmother came to take us to her house. 4 hour trip took a lot longer. So my milk got clogged. I took a shower to loosen my milk. All of a sudden she wouldn't latch. The point is that the nurse told me that chamomile tea would relax me and bring my milk back. It knocked me out. I had to express once, and the milk machine was up and running again! Lol!

Can we hear more about medicinal herbs that can be used very commonly in a household medicine cabinet? 💚 🙏 Like Plantain (Plantago) / Arnica? Also, YOU ARE SUCH A PRECIOUS earthling!! Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

[jjayneartworkx]

I got curious one day and looked up some terminology...wort means plant but also root.
Anything with, bane, is known to deter or weaken whatever it is named...like fleabane/dogbane/lionsbane... 👍
So interesting!

Manuka honey is great on wounds as well. It just needs to be potent enough. Active 15+ And the honey is a natural antibiotic, gets rid of and avoids infection.

I really like how she used the scientific names since it's always important to check into any side effects an herb may have, including interactions with other drugs or possible allergic reactions. Herbs can be pretty powerful as medicine so dosing is also a consideration. When I recommend herbs to anyone I always encourage them to consider and research these things. Also starting with really tiny amounts to see how the herb may work for them. I apply these same considerations when I take any other medication or drug legal or not. I also enjoyed the beautiful videos of the plants to help folks with identification since folks without botanical training can mistake poisonous plants for those that are medicinal.

How wonderful to have stumbled across this channel. You have a wealth of information and I am so thankful you are willing to share it. In reference to your comment about using what grows where I am (South Texas); I find aloe vera to be an essential herb to have on hand for burns. The pain remedy of aloe vera is immediate and the burn also heals very quickly. I look forward to seeing what else you have to share.

[davidt]

You have a calm, soothing presentation few have mastered. I could listen to you for hours. Love the videography. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next one :)

[elihutfles]

I've read that chamomile has a contraindication with blood thinners. It might lower your blood pressure too much if you already use a medication for that.

[careyjohnston]
