For anyone wondering, the word Dave is using is "masticate", to chew up. When he describes making a poultice by masticating, he's talking about chewing up the plant into a ball of mush and applying that directly to the skin.

Dave, this is a great series and I thoroughly enjoy it. Cheers, Mate.

This is a much more in depth look at the plants and trees, I've been waiting for something like this ever since the 5X5 herbs series. Your knowledge and concepts have really improved over time. Thank you for your dedication and posting these videos, especially during this heat wave going on this summer. Materia Medica has a nice ring to it ♫

i was looking for homeopathy Materia medica, but I'm enjoying how your helping me identify the plants so I can make my own medicines thanks!

I found a meadow loaded with yarrow, Queen Anne's Lace, staghorn sumac, broadleaf plantain, and mullein.on a hike.I basically just took photos, but gathered some staghorn sumac berry heads to make the beverage Dave mentioned in a video.I followed his directions on how to make it while on a hike, and the results were good.A delicious beverage that tastes like a combination between tart apples and lemonade.

This is a great series, Dave! I like how you go deeper into the topic, and discuss things like tissue types, etc. That helps connect the plants to their uses, and makes it easier to remember. Thanks for putting your vids out there for all to see. Great stuff!

this is one of my favorite stores that you've done! this is the kind of thing I remember my dad teaching me growing up.

Unless such a list is already around, I would highly suggest making one about the characteristics(taste, etc) of plants and the effects that are correlated with those effect. That would be a great starting point for anyone anywhere.

Thanks Dave, That stuff is all over WV

Great video Dave! Truly needed. I don't know if you were going to add this to your video series but maybe add videos explaining how to make and apply certain medicinal uses of the plants such as poultices and decoctions.

[backtothewoods]

[Shagbark]

Thanks Dave...your efforts are appreciated.

[karsonbranham]

Another very well done video!! Thanks Dave!

[joeh]

I like this series. Useful plants /herbs I find very interesting! Thanks-

[jimmyjunkmail]

Great series!! Really hoping you would show Queen Anns Lace along side the Yarrow for comparison. I look forward to the next one!

[kencollins]

Thanks Dave for the video. I would like to make a suggestion that I think would help a novice just learning. You give good detail information of id and conditions for using the plant, and mention what to use it for, but I would like to know more information about "how" to use the plant, as you say, on the fly. If I have one of the conditions you mention, how do I prepare the plant to alleviate that condition? Poultice, tea, wound dressing, steep, boil, etc?

Watch out for the similar looking Hemlock..
