I went to a naturopath for the very first time, yesterday and he was fantastic! Never in my life have I gone to a doctor, for 2 hours, and have them actually listen to me, and talk with me about food/natural solutions that aren't big P. Highly recommend looking into that...for all.
Roasted chicory root is amazing as a coffee substitute. I'm relatively new to the channel. I've watched a few homestead channels and I recall one where the lady had had her toxins levels tested, blood. She went to a specialist in this realm of blood testing. They found a lot of stuff. You may want to check into something like this.
Hi Rachel, you call the herb wormwood and mugwort at different times in the video, and the label on your jar says mugwort. Can you clarify which herb to use for the tea? Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and mugwort (Artemesia vulgaris) are different plants, wormwood being much stronger than mugwort and harder on the body, as I understand it. I do hope your tea helps you, and that you regain your health soon!
I just ran across your channel for the first time today. I have been seeing several doctors for a parasite infection. That started the end of April. I am still having some issues, but not as often. I am seeing a naturopathic Dr. He put me on 2 capsules of turmeric with each meal, 5 drops oregano oil with each meal, black seed oil for about 3 months. I am healing. I also have my own herbs, tinctures, salves, and teas to help with the healing process. Praying for your recovery. Thank you, Rebecca
I didn’t comment much but I’m so glad you are doing a cleanse. I just bought a book on parasites. Been eating Walnuts and pineapple and whole garlic. Just started introducing my kombucha back in my life. Keep researching. Father’s Blessing
The Mennonite and Amish stores sell a parasite cleanse that you take with a dropper.i do that off and on. The main ingredient is wormwood and has a good but different taste. Wish you all the best with feeling well, I know that journey all too well as some of us do.
I have been taking a shot of turmeric, ginger, honey, pepper and lemon juice mixed. I make my own out of the real root both ginger and tumeric. I been about year and a half for me. My cholesterol went down 50 points and wasn't even taking it for that. Still have a few ache and pains but nothing like before I took it. Good luck, keep us informed.
Hi Rachel- so good to hear you are feeling better. I am a fan of the natural remedies. I did lemon juice and apple cider vinegar for a month and felt a lot better for it. I,like you,eliminated a lot of things including caffeine. The honey blend you made is great to kick a cold too. Prayers sent up for you.
Rachael , hoping you start feeling like yourself. Winter is hard especially because of the cold weather and not being able to go outside and enjoy . Just remember that we are 1 day closer to Spring. Take Care
Caffeine is so hard to give up! Do you feel it is unhealthy? So much conflicting info on that. We need to a parasite cleanse. I know wormwood, cayenne, garlic, pineapple, raw pumpkin seed are all good things to clean out parasites. If you don’t want to take a pill that is. Consistency is my problem. Your honey mixture looks very promising . Blessings to you, Rachel and all the best. Thank you for sharing. 🩵
Glad you’re better! I have NET.. tumors- being treated with radiation at the moment. IV therapy. Recipes for simple gut health appreciated… I have digestive issues…. Thx
Rachel, I’ve been praying for you and Todd through this process. In doing a parasite cleanse make sure you are using a binder, something like zeolite. Consider coffee enemas as well. I’m the same way, modern medicine has its place and I’m grateful for it, but I’d recommend looking into The Wellness Way. If there isn’t one local to you, they will do phone consultations. They are chiropractors, but will run in depth blood work, hormone panels, stool samples, etc. they also use herbal supplements and diet to address the root issues. Something to pray about and research.
My 12yo daughter and I have been drinking cinnamon milk every night before bed, its so soothing and puts me right to sleep. I'm so sad I killed my wormwood two years ago moving it, ugh. I'm currently doing a parasite cleanse but I've heard to start it with a full moon so I may go another one.
I find your sickness journey very interesting! My mom has also had the same symptoms. With the exception of high fevers and only coughed when she was talking. But all the other symptoms since Dec. She is 83 and we also are not fans of going to Doctors. Although she does have a doctor and goes often these days. Please keep us posted! It is reassuring that you have had these symptoms, so virus is still what I'm thinking. The lump in throat, ear itching, neck pain, skin rash/itching, no energy, even heart things she doesn't really tell me that... she is always cold and has nerve problems with legs and hands.
Hi Rachel, so glad you are feeling better. I actually use what you made today and I just take it straight from the jar most of the time. I like you used coarse black pepper and I can not stand the texture. They are calling it fire honey. Maybe I just need to use it in some green tea. I sure feel better inflammation wise, from using this and fire cider. Hope you are back to normal soon.
Thanks for sharing this interesting tea and honey concoction! So glad you are feeling better Rachel. I hope you feel better and better and stay that way. Big hug❤
So glad you are feeling better. I came down with something nasty just before Christmas. It started like the flu with body aches, temperature, chills, vomiting and diarrhea. Within a few days, most of my symptoms resolved, except sharp stomach cramps and diarrhea that lasted over a month. I was on a liquid diet, then a very bland diet with a lot of water and electrolytes. I’m doing better, but I still have some diarrhea. I’m going to try your tea. I’m going slowly and will eventually do a cleanse.
Hi Rachel, I have followed your channel for years. I have never commented on your videos before, but when you said that you just stopped drinking Diet Coke, I had to!! Your symptoms sounded very much like things I experienced about twenty years ago. I was a very heavy Diet Coke drinker. I started feeling pain all over, very tired, flu-like symptoms. I went to the doctor and my liver enzymes were elevated, my sed-rate was high (indicated autoimmune) and my white blood cell count was low. They originally thought I had Lupus and finally diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia (I think because they didn't know what was going on). I wasn't satisfied with that diagnosis. At the time, I worked in a hospital ICU and began talking to one of the doctors. I told her my symptoms and she mentioned Aspartame. She asked if I ate or drank anything containing it. I said YES, I drank Diet Coke constantly. She said STOP! She said that our livers do not know how to process artificial sweeteners and they build up in our bodies causing our muscles to hurt and our livers to be taxed. I stopped Diet Coke that day and took all artificial sweeteners from my diet and my families diets. I started noticing relief in the first few weeks and after 6 months all of my symptoms were gone. My labs went back to normal and I do not have Fibromyalgia or any other autoimmune disorder. I am so grateful for that doctors wisdom... Praying that as you clean up your diet and keep all artificial sweeteners and chemicals out of your body that you will find healing!
Your tea sounds so good!! I love just eating a spoonful of my honey mix everyday. I need to try it in my hot tea also. That cayenne pepper does leave a good warm feeling!!! Love and prayers on your healing journey!!
Hi Rachel. So glad your doing well. I am all for natural remedies. The Doctor does not need to know we are healing ourselves. And yes it has been cold here in the Bronx New York and had to stay indoors. I'm feeling better myself. I will try this remedy myself and give it a try. But I will use tilo instead. Thank you Rachel for sharing. God Bless you. HUGS 🤗. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️
Her doctor DOES need to know what herbal remedies she is using. Just like medications, herbal remedies can have side effects and can interact with medications.
You still look great, so sorry to hear your struggling. I have been seeing a couple Naturapaths for almost 10 years. Both offer different great ideas and modalities for treatment, what I love most is they are helpers on our journey and support us with remedies and supplements, but ultimately it is my decision for the things I chose which helps us take our power back to be our own healer, listening to our bodies and it's responds. My greatest break through came from learning how to make the cultured L. Reuteri and L. Gasseri. They along with Kefir have change my gut and truly my body overall. Best of luck to you.
Proud of you sweetheart I hope you are starting to heal. I really look forward to the next one of you guys.i really enjoy walking around your yard with you.
I hope this works for you Rachel. Thank you for the video. I have been having some stomach issues myself, so I will be researching and following your journey. This sounds very doable, so I hope all workd out. Tina😊
So glad you are beginning to feel better Rachel. I was raised with a respect for naturopaths because my dad had been a sickly child and was helped by a naturopath his mother found during his childhood. There is diagnosed Celiac disease in my family (and other environmental-influenced conditions) so I respect the relationship our bodies have with our diets. To date, I've only infused honey with sage and usually only use it when I am dosing with Mullein tea. Being very frugal it really hurts my heart thinking of how much honey is lost when the draining happens after the period of steeping is finished, haha. Not sure I could handle the pepper...I made a wonderful batch of Fire Cider from Rosemary Gladstar's recipe but I have an ulcer and just can't literally stomach taking it, let alone dealing with the coughing from the spiciness. Praying everything is going well according to plan with your anticipated grandbabies.
I will be curious about the parasite cleanse you do. I am wanting to find one for my family. I’ve tried one before with no results. I hate wasting money
Ooh I use all those spices to make a golden milk for my hubby, it helps with inflammation for his knees ❤ but he might like it in honey as well to sweeten his mushroom drinks or other teas, great idea 💡 😊
Great Job Rachel! I love your videos and your channel. I’ve watched you and Todd for years and just love you guys. Thanks for sharing so much. Prayers for you
I mix these ingredients (minus the honey) into an 8 oz bottle of water along with ACV. I didn't add honey but you could add lemon. I lost 35 lbs and felt great and I was taken off of my thyroid medicine. All my blood work came back normal.
Thats a great idea, thanks Rachel. I know i tried cinnamon, clove,ginger, turmeric, blk pepper in the past, for inflammation and it did help, i loved the lemon ginger tea hot or cold very good. I'm gonna make that today were im thinking of it, get myself off the soda
Flax seed oil isnt wonderfully tasty but it might be something you might enjoy looking into. Especially for inflammatory responses either internally or externally like skin reactions.
Happy to hear you are feeling better. You inspired me to do a cleansing tea. It could be good for me to do for digestion. Thanks for sharing. Take care
Honestly , listening to you in your last couple videos, it sounds like you are struggling with the same symptoms I’ve been dealing with since Memorial Day 2024. I’ve had every test you can have, blood work, next week I go for an MRI. I’ve done the eliminations diet, I’ve done the gut health diet. I’ve read countless things online trying to find some kind of answers. My pain is on my upper left stomach area and at times it wraps around to my back. I wish I would have stopped all of the crazy madness of tests and insisted on an MRI to start with. Please don’t wait as long as I have. I have a history of endometrial cancer but have been cancer free for 5 yrs. Please take care of yourself and you will be in my prayers.
If you do have an auto-immune issue.... elderberry can actually cause your auto-immune to go crazy. It's not recommended for those with auto-immune disease. There are studies/articles to show this. I actually am highly sensitive to it. This is just a thought❤❤❤❤❤
I can confirm this for my experience. I have systemic Lupus dx in 2000. Any immune boosting herb like echinacea etc sets me into a tail spin (inflammation/hives) . Having said that I fully realize auto immune diseases are not a 1 size fits all. Just document everything you consume so that you can easily refer backwards to figure out your own puzzle.
You called one of the herbs wormwood, then I thought you said mugwort. Are those names interchangeable, or is there more than one herb besides the thyme? The flavored honey sounds delicious! I may have to make some to have around. I’m a natural health person, too, and totally understand when you said you didn’t have a doctor. I haven’t had one for at least ten years and haven’t been sick. (Knock on wood). Sometimes illness is sneaky and we don’t feel it for a while. Glad you chose to find out what was going on and are feeling better. 😊
I would encourage you to find a regular doctor to have testing done once a year and then decide whether or not you want to follow their recommendations. I have a great doctor, but I don’t do everything she says. My kidney cancer was caught and removed before it had spread outside the kidney because I had a regular doctor. They can look at your tests and see what your body is doing from year to year, so they can tell if there is something that changes. There are doctor called functional medicine doctors that I have heard are really good for people who prefer natural treatments, but 8 found my amazing doctor before I knew about them.
I tried elderberry and organic green tea and it gave me palpitations that made me crazy. I do use some tumeric in my home canned broth. Hope those ingredients help you.
I cannot seem to get rid of what is going on with cough and congestion either and no heart skips it's nuts I looked up that cleanse 24 looks like good stuff
Just a note: turmeric can cause/irritate gall and kidney stones. I was taking turmeric to help ease pain and inflammation due to fibromyalgia daily, and within a few weeks, I was in the hospital having surgery to break up a kidney stone. So painful, worse than childbirth. Was told sternly by my doctor to stay away from turmeric.
I am sure you know this, but I did not realize that tea has more caffeine than coffee. You have to get caffeine free herbal tea to be caffeine free . That ended up being a little expensive, so I am now down to water with fresh ground ginger and a slice of lemon in a cloth tea bag......use to be a BIG diet pepsi drinker.😢
A wonderful drink in the evening is chicken stock with a touch of heavy whipping cream and a pinch of cajon seasonings. It is reminiscent of chicken andouille . Warms the tummy and all home made
Hi Rachel, I totally am on a page with you about modern doctors. Needed but not necessarily loved, ha ha! I truly hope you have tuned in to Sue Becker's "Sue's Healthy Minutes". Some of the testimonials are amazing and eye-opening. I know you've done some research on the healing power of freshly milled whole grain flour for breads and pasta, etc. I've found new health through eating only freshly milled home-baked bakery goods.The best part, of course, is that they are absolutely delicious. Anyway, good luck on your health journey, and I hope the answers continue to come to you!🌻
Since you are making a infused honey, i have a question. I made a golden rod infused honey in the fall. It crystallized... now im afraid to heat it to get the golden rod out! I don't want to distroy the health benefits, suggestions?
My only comment would be I was so "addicted" to diet coke and I stopped about 3 years ago. My bird got better and I lost about 20 lbs. Can't tell you why. Also..I'm a ginger and turmeric lover.
I made the honey gut mixture but I didn't use it in tea. I started having gut and bowel issues in sept. Im 62 never had bowel issues before. it was so weird and no explaination. drs and tests didn't show anything, gave me a round of antibiotics. those made everthing 10 times worse. I saw a herbalist reel with this same ingredients. I started mid december taking a spoonful every night. I was to the point I just couldn't eat, even the smell of food sent me into dry heaving. I lived on oatmeal water and yogart after 2 weeks i felt a little better, could now eat potatoes and broth. Now end of January I am 98 percent my normal self. I just cant eat anything tomato based. not that it makes me ill my family is italian. its just I don't like the taste or thoughts of a tomato sauce. I think its a fear of the acidic things.
Oh, how did you break the Diet Coke habit without caffeine withdrawal headaches. I have tried to stop drinking them several times and can never get past the severe headaches.
The artificial sweetener in diet soda causes or increases inflammation. Our bodies change over time (about every seven years), so things that have never bothered you before, that may have changed over the years. ❤
Thanks for sharing your natural remedies!! I really seek to use them more and more! I do hope you and Todd will stay away from even caffeine Diet Coke!! Such poison!!
I Love Chef Ricardo Cooking here on YT he does a lot of his Jamaican grandma's recipes of natural ways to do cleanses, as well as other treatments, so you may want to check him out.
Coke cola is the worst. I found myself back at drinking diet pepsi, i used to drink diet caffeine free pepsi.,I need to get back to drinking straight water again, cheaper too
U may want to check out the cinnamon u r using. It has been reported recently that most common cinnamons have lead in them. I guess u r supposed to use Ceylon cinnamon. U can research that.
In my own health journey I have been researching the benefits of fasting. I am amazed at how well the body can repair itself when givin the time and opportunity to do so. th-cam.com/video/RuOvn4UqznU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dDZT8C3gqV-87zQ6 This is the Dr. I have been really listening too. Also the atomic power of fasting by Franklin Hall is an amazing book with a wealth of info on the topic

Roasted chicory root is amazing as a coffee substitute. I'm relatively new to the channel.

I just ran across your channel for the first time today. I have been seeing several doctors for a parasite infection. That started the end of April. I am still having some issues, but not as often.

Rachel, it's AGE.
Kidding, just couldnt resist
I didn’t comment much but I’m so glad you are doing a cleanse. I just bought a book on parasites. Been eating Walnuts and pineapple and whole garlic. Just started introducing my kombucha back in my life. Keep researching. Father’s Blessing
pumpkin seeds and cilantro too 🙌

Glad you’re better! I have NET.. tumors- being treated with radiation at the moment. IV therapy.
Recipes for simple gut health appreciated… I have digestive issues…. Thx
Rachel, I’ve been praying for you and Todd through this process. In doing a parasite cleanse make sure you are using a binder, something like zeolite. Consider coffee enemas as well.
I’m the same way, modern medicine has its place and I’m grateful for it, but I’d recommend looking into The Wellness Way. If there isn’t one local to you, they will do phone consultations.

What she said ♥
Totally in favour of natural healing. Glad you are feeling a bit better.

"Wormwood" has got to get a better marketing team!😊 The tea sounds tasty. I hope it helps!
I have always heard wormwood was hallucinogenic or something like that. This is the first time I've heard of someone using it for human consumption.
I have heard you have to be really careful with it.
Thats a great idea, thanks Rachel. I know i tried cinnamon, clove,ginger, turmeric, blk pepper in the past, for inflammation and it did help, i loved the lemon ginger tea hot or cold very good.
I'm gonna make that today were im thinking of it, get myself off the soda
I'm so glad you are doing better. It shows. 🙏

Honestly , listening to you in your last couple videos, it sounds like you are struggling with the same symptoms I’ve been dealing with since Memorial Day 2024.

I don't have any pain
@@1870sSay thanks anyways. 😂😂😂
@ I didn’t either at first..I do pray for your recovery.
@karnaxiom1635 ❣ Hope you are okay as well.
Please have them check your pancreas.
Hope this all leads you on a journey of health!
Did you grow the wormwood? I’ve never heard of it but I do grow thyme and oregano
Thank You!
Hey! I just got that mug too 🥰
Thank you for sharing.

I have a very rare autoimmune disease and cannot take any immune boosting meds. Not even vitamins. Per my physician and my body
Agreed. I was an elderberry, echinacea believer but it makes my system go hairwire now with the autoimmune issues I deal with.
Absolutely agree
You called one of the herbs wormwood, then I thought you said mugwort. Are those names interchangeable, or is there more than one herb besides the thyme? The flavored honey sounds delicious! I may have to make some to have around. I’m a natural health person, too, and totally understand when you said you didn’t have a doctor. I haven’t had one for at least ten years and haven’t been sick. (Knock on wood). Sometimes illness is sneaky and we don’t feel it for a while. Glad you chose to find out what was going on and are feeling better. 😊
I would encourage you to find a regular doctor to have testing done once a year and then decide whether or not you want to follow their recommendations. I have a great doctor, but I don’t do everything she says. My kidney cancer was caught and removed before it had spread outside the kidney because I had a regular doctor. They can look at your tests and see what your body is doing from year to year, so they can tell if there is something that changes. There are doctor called functional medicine doctors that I have heard are really good for people who prefer natural treatments, but 8 found my amazing doctor before I knew about them.
Wormwood and mugwort are not the same herb.
They are in same family, wormwood is very potent, I did use mugwort though, just wanted to caution around standard recipe
I tried elderberry and organic green tea and it gave me palpitations that made me crazy. I do use some tumeric in my home canned broth. Hope those ingredients help you.
Glad you are feeling better...where did you get that cute measuring spoon?
I ALSO am wondering about your nifty Spoon I’ve seen you use often!!
I cannot seem to get rid of what is going on with cough and congestion either and no heart skips it's nuts I looked up that cleanse 24 looks like good stuff
Just a note: turmeric can cause/irritate gall and kidney stones.
I was taking turmeric to help ease pain and inflammation due to fibromyalgia daily, and within a few weeks, I was in the hospital having surgery to break up a kidney stone. So painful, worse than childbirth. Was told sternly by my doctor to stay away from turmeric.
Suggestion for parasite cleansing is Fenbendazole.
Thank you for sharing ⚘️
Where do you buy it and how much?
I am sure you know this, but I did not realize that tea has more caffeine than coffee. You have to get caffeine free herbal tea to be caffeine free . That ended up being a little expensive, so I am now down to water with fresh ground ginger and a slice of lemon in a cloth tea bag......use to be a BIG diet pepsi drinker.😢
A wonderful drink in the evening is chicken stock with a touch of heavy whipping cream and a pinch of cajon seasonings. It is reminiscent of chicken andouille . Warms the tummy and all home made
Thanks, I agree
Just FYI: You said you were using Wormwood but your jar says Mugwort.
Hi Rachel, I totally am on a page with you about modern doctors. Needed but not necessarily loved, ha ha! I truly hope you have tuned in to Sue Becker's "Sue's Healthy Minutes". Some of the testimonials are amazing and eye-opening. I know you've done some research on the healing power of freshly milled whole grain flour for breads and pasta, etc. I've found new health through eating only freshly milled home-baked bakery goods.The best part, of course, is that they are absolutely delicious. Anyway, good luck on your health journey, and I hope the answers continue to come to you!🌻
I would put the amount of honey mixture in a silicone mold...my concoction I made turned solid 🫤 I can barely dig it out of my jar 😢
Very nice
Since you are making a infused honey, i have a question. I made a golden rod infused honey in the fall. It crystallized... now im afraid to heat it to get the golden rod out! I don't want to distroy the health benefits, suggestions?
My only comment would be I was so "addicted" to diet coke and I stopped about 3 years ago. My bird got better and I lost about 20 lbs. Can't tell you why. Also..I'm a ginger and turmeric lover.
I made the honey gut mixture but I didn't use it in tea. I started having gut and bowel issues in sept. Im 62 never had bowel issues before. it was so weird and no explaination. drs and tests didn't show anything, gave me a round of antibiotics. those made everthing 10 times worse. I saw a herbalist reel with this same ingredients. I started mid december taking a spoonful every night. I was to the point I just couldn't eat, even the smell of food sent me into dry heaving. I lived on oatmeal water and yogart after 2 weeks i felt a little better, could now eat potatoes and broth. Now end of January I am 98 percent my normal self. I just cant eat anything tomato based. not that it makes me ill my family is italian. its just I don't like the taste or thoughts of a tomato sauce. I think its a fear of the acidic things.
❤❤❤
So perhaps less pepper for someone who doesnt like to much heat, as we know you like spicy foods
Oh, how did you break the Diet Coke habit without caffeine withdrawal headaches. I have tried to stop drinking them several times and can never get past the severe headaches.
They were terrible, lasted a week or so
🙏🙏🙏💕🤗❤️🌿💚👵
The artificial sweetener in diet soda causes or increases inflammation. Our bodies change over time (about every seven years), so things that have never bothered you before, that may have changed over the years. ❤
I was told certain cinnamons are not good for your kidneys.Is that true
Thanks for sharing your natural remedies!! I really seek to use them more and more! I do hope you and Todd will stay away from even caffeine Diet Coke!! Such poison!!
I have a huge amount of congestion and a wet constitution and I drink Mullen tea for it.
I might also add that probiotics will help replenish your good bacteria that you’ve lost with those pharmaceuticals
Yes!
You might want to look up water kefir
Do not ignore your mouth microbiome as well!!! A ton of health problems start in the mouth
So true. And most toothpaste (and all store bought mouthwash) kills the good stuff in our mouths. Homemade toothpaste is the best.
I Love Chef Ricardo Cooking here on YT he does a lot of his Jamaican grandma's recipes of natural ways to do cleanses, as well as other treatments, so you may want to check him out.
That was my gurd, not my bird..excuse my finger!
Coke cola is the worst. I found myself back at drinking diet pepsi, i used to drink diet caffeine free pepsi.,I need to get back to drinking straight water again, cheaper too
U may want to check out the cinnamon u r using. It has been reported recently that most common cinnamons have lead in them. I guess u r supposed to use Ceylon cinnamon. U can research that.
We buy in bulk and just refill this old container
Please , do a research on diet coke ingredients.
Turrrrrr meric not tumor ic
Be kind. The pronunciation isn’t a big deal. No one is perfect.
Yikes!
Diet Coke😮
Diet Coke? Bleh!! Get rid of it or use it to clean your toilet!
In my own health journey I have been researching the benefits of fasting. I am amazed at how well the body can repair itself when givin the time and opportunity to do so. th-cam.com/video/RuOvn4UqznU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dDZT8C3gqV-87zQ6
This is the Dr. I have been really listening too. Also the atomic power of fasting by Franklin Hall is an amazing book with a wealth of info on the topic
