I read about their medicinal power so as I walk from my apartment I "borrow" a red flower or 2 or 10 from the vines that adorn the walkways that I pass to get to town. I am retired in Lithuania so I view most of Luli's videos.
I could eat the leaves for a salad with nothing on it everyday, it taste like mild radishes. I am going to make tinctures for this year’s cold and flu season. Thank you for such an informative video. ❤
Watching from Australia. New sub to your channel now. 😀🖐🇦🇺❤️ I just made a small jar of nasturtium flower tincture. Now I've watched this, I'll process the leaves as well. Recently made Nettle tincture & a parsley tincture & growing elderberries to do the same. Love doing this stuff! Cheers!
Fellow Aussie girl here, how did you go with making the tincture? I'm interested in making it myself if I can grow some next season. and I havent heard of parsley tincture, what do you use that for?
@catey62 my tinctures turned out well. I'm going to try sell at a local market. Parsley is good for so many things. Another powerhouse of benefits, too many to list here. Good luck making yours. It's really not at all difficult & it's an enjoyable process I find. Love to see other Aussies interested in same things. Gives me hope. ❤️😊⚘️
I love nasturtium ,. I have given it to e family members to help with abcess teeth and just a bad toothache. Usually didn't need any more than 2 capsules. Just read about using the leaves in cooking. Grind the leaves and use them as pepper as well.
@@lulishomestead6767 sure isn’t. I used to work as a Physician liaison before the lockdown in March. With so many stipulations now, I would never go back to medical industry. I Enjoy your videos! Thank You! 🤗
I have those scissors too. They're fabulous. You can also get a little comb that goes with it to scrape out all your cuttings so as not to waste any. Yes, great for parsley & all herbs too.
I always plant nasturtiums with my tomato plants because I believe that it keeps aphids away. And it makes the greenhouse look prettier. Nice to know that I can get more use out of them. I am especially interested in using the seeds as pepper substitute, do they get dried in a dehydrator or just air dried?
damn didn't know until this. don't know why our East Europeans never mentioned this after they introduced this in our villages in the pacific islands, Papua New GUinea. Thanks will try some
Hi! I dont have a dehydrator. Can I dry the nasturtiums in the oven? Also, would you use Spyritus alcohol for this or any other tincture that you make?
Yes, you can dry in the oven. The lowest setting with the door open a little, because you don't want to cook them. I am not familiar with Spyritus alcohol.
@@lulishomestead6767 hi again Luli. Spyritus is a polish vodka that us poles use to make homemade liquors and other things. It is 96% alcohol, 192 proof. So very strong!🙂
I air dry bushels of herbals everyday in a storage shed, I just fluff them or turn them throughout day. Hot days it's about three days. Rainy days it's more five to six. I'm guessing fall it may take longer
Fever is the body fighting mechanism is better to take hot plants to help the fever go trough, than cooling plants, which will inhebit healing and prolong the healing.
Helo Luli! So thankful for you coming into my life . Can you please help me , I’m suffering from bad eczema been to dermatologist and nothing really seems to help much and it’s expensive! Is there a eczema garden remedy you can provide to help me please ❤ I have a herb garden 🪴
I am very sorry to hear of your skin struggles. I like to use stinging nettle for such issues, not just as drinking tea, but also adding to daily bath.
@@cigileyAtTR can you tell me how to make this salve ? With what ? Do dandelions need to be in bloom or just root and leaves ? My 40 yr old has such severe eczema at the s all of his back and down its welted. Family practice and dermatology provide rx creams that keep things at bay but never resolve. If it inflames he has open wounds etc. I recent,y bought a cream that is 40% zinc oxide and am hoping for the best but if anyone can share this….I’d make it !
Wonderful information! I grew several different kinds of nasturtium last year in my garden, but I didn’t use any of it because I didn’t really know what to do with them other than look at the pretty flowers 😂 Would any type of nasturtium work or there’s a specific kind? Thank You! 🤗🙏🤗

Hello neighbor! I grew up in 🇱🇻
Thanks for sharing. I just knew this plant as a beautiful flower. Now its going to beautity the garden as well as helping my family.
I'm happy to see your video in my algorithm...I have been wondering about nasturtiums, and you have answered my questions. Thank you so much ❤️❤️🥰🥰

The leaves have a mild peppery taste. Eating them helps to clear sinuses. Thank you for sharing
@theresabettison5458 are the capsules just dried leaves?
@@justpassingthrough. I use the leaves and flowers, mostly leaves
@@justpassingthrough. Yes, with some flowers
I grew them for the first time and saved seeds from them for next season.
Awesome! I saved a few as well.
They're self seeders, they will grow back
@@nora-_- not in Buffalo NY!
@@colleenomara4980 must be way to many bird's or rabbits eating them
Really enjoyed this video! Natural medicine can really be helpful!
Absolutely!
I also just subscribed... I am looking forward to seeing other videos....from the past. Have to catch up on all the goodness 😜
Are you a nurse? 🤗 You’re doing such a great job of educating and doing things at the same time! 🙏 For some reason you were giving me the nurse vibe!
Yes I am! Now studying Functional Health, hopefully will become certified soon
@@lulishomestead6767 fantastic! I bet you’re a great nurse too! Good luck with all the mandates and such 😆

@@lulishomestead6767 sure isn’t. I used to work as a Physician liaison before the lockdown in March. With so many stipulations now, I would never go back to medical industry. I Enjoy your videos! Thank You! 🤗
I would like to know how you will use it, just straight out of the jar, how much would you recommend?
Those scissors are capable of cutting multiple leaves at once. Put ten of leaves together and then cut! It will reduce your processing time. 👍🏻
Thanks!
I have those scissors too. They're fabulous. You can also get a little comb that goes with it to scrape out all your cuttings so as not to waste any.

Just to make sure no moisture left, I put them in the dehydrator.
Doesn’t nasturtiums technically attract aphids lol they are a trap plant I wouldn’t plant them too close to my tomato’s 😂
Thank you for sharing. God Bless
You are so welcome
Thank you! I just discovered your wonderful channel today.❤️
Welcome!
What do you use nettle tinctures for.
Thankyou Blessings 🌹
Nursturtium Luli! Thank youfor the tip!
Happy to share
I can't wait to try it out!
We used it during the cold season
Better than doctors🤗🤗
Love the video and those scissors looked like they worked well. Do you know what they are called or have a link for them?
I love them!

Thank you! Just found your channel!
Welcome to our homestead!
When it's made how long does it keep for & how much do you use e.g. 3 drops.??
Thankyou Blessings 🌹
When is it time to strain it? I wish I could get all the info in one video lol. I got some books.
Strain time is 6-8 weeks

Oh wow! That is strong! I use strong alcohol like that to make tinctures out of bark, roots, and propolis.

@@MelissaWillard-w3uI hung nasturtium on my porch to dry and gave up after a month! Still had green stems. Any tips or tricks?
Can drying leaves can be used for preparing tincture?
Can we make tinctures and oil infusions?

Dandelion root and leaves salve will stop it if you apply it twice a day. It takes a few days to work and is a temporary solution. Dont use the cream.

Those scissors are so cool and would save alot of work. Where do I get a pair
They are great! My daughters found them at an arts and crafts store.
@@MiLittleCorner thank you for your comment. I will definitely look in my craft store.
You ate showing me how to use natural medicine.
You are showing me. Blessings gs to you.
Thank you and blessings to you as well.
garlic is Russian penicillin. + oreganoe oil 😊
Yes, while used!
Oregano oil is the BEST

You are welcome.
Please research the teas from the fruit tree LEAVES. Apple plum cherry etc
I am aware! I grew up with a Russian Мама and Babushka!
@@lulishomestead6767 Can you maybe educate us on them😊🌿
Can u make a cream w them
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🙏thanks a lot
Where did you get those Scissors?
I love the extra tid bits with oriental/ eastern medicine :)
High in vit c and lutein. Excellent for eye health.
I don't have your patience. I would have stacked ALL those leaves into one pile and shredded them all at once.
Useful video however. Thank you.
🤣 thats funny. For cooking I cut things faster.
I love to pickle to the young seeds like capers
