Nice job. I didn't know the plant would draw out splinters! I've got a couple Dewberry thorns I've been trying to get out for a week or more. Thank you.
A kitty herbalist! I so look forward to your videos- this one was brave 😱 I can’t back up the veracity, but I’ve seen people recommend wrapping beeswax blocks & hitting them with a hammer to break them up. I wasn’t able to find pellets locally before (but they do have them w/ shipping at The Honey Exchange.) Thanks for making my morning ☺️
Thank you for the suggestion on the beeswax blocks. My husband likes that idea a lot. He’s thinking a hammer/chisel combo would do the trick? Chuckie is indeed the star of the show, he’s always at my heels anytime I’m in the garden ☺️💚
I infused plantain, usnea and calendula flowers separately then combined to make similar salves. One salve uses all 3 plus tea tree oil as a substitute for neosporin. The other omits the usnea and I added activated charcoal and bentonite clay as a drawing salve. The drawing salve worked wonders when I was stung by a bee on the cheek bone about 2 inches below my eye. I quickly covered the sting with the drawing salve. When I finally washed my face to get the salve off, I had such minimal swelling and no angry red mark from the stinger.
@donna519 here is a link to a website that provides a list of registered herbalists. These folks have the most experience working with clients and may also have certain certifications to help qualify their work as well. americanherbalistsguild.com/member-profiles
Glad that poultice worked so well! Thanks so much for the detailed shots of how to tell identify the proper plants/herbs and all the detail you put in your videos--that is so helpful! As for the beeswax, just grate it and weigh it as you go - it's so much easier and no waste!👍 I really appreciate the video - Thank you! 🙂
So interesting and helpful as always! I’ve made plantain oil before and this inspires me to take the next step and try a salve. Thanks!❤

Wow! I love testimonies like this.
Thank you for these informative videos. I live on Long Island, NY. how can I find a medicinal herbalist in my area. Thank you ☺️
Thank you! I’m not sure how to find a traditional or clinical herbalist in NY, but I’d be happy to do some research and let you know what I find out.
@@theacadiangarden that is so nice of you. Thank you

@@theacadiangarden I can’t thank you enough!! Thank you for your help and keep making your videos!🥰
You could try grating the beeswax.
That’s an excellent idea, thanks so much. I’ll have to buy another grater for just wax and try that out.
