If you can get fresh from the market that is a great option!

Welcome!

My pleasure!

Most welcome!

Thank you!

You are most welcome! Thanks for watching my video.

I just posted this actually :) In 2024. So hopefully it works well for us.

You want temperatures similar for yogurt making. 43-46C is ideal. Even lower would work as well. You just don't want too hot!

Thanks for your comment! The garlic is already in so we can't do anything for those beds. What augmentation for the soil do you recommend?

@SpiraeaHerbs you may want to have your local cooperative extension do a soil test before adding anything but it can be anything from bonemeal ( garlic and onions) to rabbit poo to goat/alpaca poo as the ruminates manure don't burn though the urine will. Leaves, straw both are great especially chopped. Composted wood chips, no walnuts though, grass clipping, egg shells, your compost pile. Go with what you have . Beware of bagged compost from big box as there is beginning to see GRAZON damage. I'm frugal with using what I have. Newspaper and cardboard do a great job as weed barriers too. Then top with a good layer of leaves or grass clippings. Hope that helps get your imagination going. I've even picked up bags of leaves destined for the landfill😆😆

@@barbaradeclerck7341 Oh okay I see what you mean. Yes we add layers of leaves and grass all the time. Mulched comfrey as well. We hope to get some good compost next year to add some in. We often try to use what we have as well.

@@SpiraeaHerbs I’ve heard comfrey is a wonderful addition to mulch. Tons of minerals in it.

That's a high percentage and likely a bit overkill (in my opinion! please do your own independent research). I personally would water it down a bit.

Thank you! And thanks for watching :)

You are most welcome! Balance is so important in this journey as well is constant reflection. Thank you for watching.

Thank you! I will check her out.

That's a good idea. Insulate it in the winter but also keep it cooler when we do get nice and hot. Thanks!

It was a great lesson in compromise and deciding what hill NOT to die on! Lol

Oh yes we do too! Those wild plants grow all around my property and I often use them for medicines and as attractive bate for pests as well.

So many weeds. I would often just sit in the garden and cry because it seemed never-ending. I would go back out a week later and they would all be growing back strong. Hoping this is the solution!

That sounds delicious!

Due to strict Health Canada regulations and rules set forth by Google I am unable to provide specific medical advice. What I can say is that you need both antimicrobials (like the remedy in this video) and immune stimulants to fight strep effectively. You also have to attend to diet as well and ensure good whole foods are being consumed.

One person's weed is another person's medicine :)

Thanks for watching!

You absolutely can! Personally I prefer to make all of my tinctures separately and then blend for my clients. For example, if a new client doesn't tolerate a lot of heat I may want to start them on a formulation that has 10% turmeric and 5% ginger. Once they've done one round at that level, I can then choose to increase it to 15% turmeric and 5% ginger which is my preference as a catalyst. I can't do that if I made the turmeric and ginger in the same jar. Does that help!

Honestly they are very similar in the fact that they both use vinegar and honey. The main difference is in purpose. Oxymels usually have a clear medicinal purpose and were traditionally used to make unpalatable herbs taste better. Shrubs are for drinking and while you can add herbs, traditionally they were made with only fruit. They were a method of preservation. Does that help?

Most welcome!

Thank you so much for sharing! We have been looking at a skeeter vac but its really nice to hear someone's testimony firsthand. Appreciated.

Use what you have for sure! Fresh is best BUT dried is better than not making it at all!

Thank you ❤

Oh that's amazing! I want to figure out how to grow it indoors.

This is a great question! So to be very frank... you can do whatever you want! Lol. BUT, I personally would not do that. I would make smaller quantities if I only had small amounts of herbs available at one time. I would rather have a bunch of 100ml jars rather than continually exposing the jar to oxygen. But that is my personal preference.

That works!

If you don't add vinegar then its not an oxymel. You can make an infused honey if you'd like but you would lose the benefits that the vinegar provides.

You certainly can! If you can get fresh lemon balm because dried just isn't the same, but use what you have :)

I actually find I've never had to! Perhaps its the fresh herbs in the honey, but it never solidifies again. In my experience only though! If it did, yes I would gently warm it again.

@@SpiraeaHerbs Thank you , so happy I found your Chanel, I already saw few video and learned new things. I truly appreciate all the knowledge that you shared with passion and nice balance between science and spiritual.

@@transform6833 I'm so glad that you are here too! Thanks for sharing your time with me.

We get our olive oil from Costco. Brand is Terra Delyssa :) Thanks for letting me know. I'm sure they will get it back in stock soon.

I use yarrow all the time! And we have dozens of them on the property. And ALL the other bug repelling plants. I wish they did help! Ha ha. But thanks for the tips :)

@@SpiraeaHerbs if you have a website Or contact info please share I would love to purchase some if you care to sell I’m always looking for excellent quality herbs for my home use If not no worries thank you I love your content

@@nawnie777 I can share my website for sure, but I don't have anything for sale at this time except my book (which you can through Amazon). I am focusing on herbal education so no more products! www.spiraeaherbs.ca

That's what is so wonderful about these recipes! How versatile they can be. I bet it would be good with those spirits.

Thanks so much for watching! It's appreciated.

You are most welcome. The herbs you can dehydrate yes. Or you could do a herb salt! Lots of options.

I signed up for the class and I am excited. Thank you.

@@championhomestead6273 Thanks so much! Looking forward to it.

Oh the cat! He just loves to make an appearance. And you are most welcome. I am slowly transitioning to plastic lids, but in the meantime parchment paper will work too!

You are most welcome! I'd love to hear more about growing ginger. Did you grow it inside? Greenhouse?

Depends on the school. The one I attended... no. I would also have you consider if you need a full program. Are you planning on opening a clinic one day or do you just want to know how to support you and your family? Maybe a few friends? Those goals are very different and actually open up a lot of education options for you (including things like my membership platform!)

Traditionally this is not a plant that is used for migraines no. As for suggestions... my hands are tied. Health Canada and TH-cam both have rules that I have to follow. I would suggest working with a herbalist because there are definitely LOTS of things that can be done to support migraines.
