I’m a Native American and honestly speaking here. You are my go to guy next to spirit itself for learning about Mother Earths wonders. Thank you 🙏🤗😊🥰❤️
Thanks for all the support and gratitude for the videos we have been making. This is the first one of this 2016 spring season. We are excited to be sharing more as the season unfolds. Let us know if there is a topic you would like us to cover this year and we will see what we can do.
Just wanted to say thanks for the very detailed videos, they are a pleasure to watch. My family and I are planning to do more herbal and wild crafting adventures starting this spring, been gathering field guides and have been helping my 74 yr old mother who has parkinson's disease to follow a holistic natural approach to help with her debilitation, I'm pleased to say she has been off all meds for almost 4 yrs now using only lions mane mushroom, cbds, cannabis, and some supplements :) Keep the good vids coming and stay happy and healthy, we're in central Montana if you ever get down that way hit me up would be fun to spend a day or two learning medicine with you.
As a lover of wetlands and wooded areas, and their indescribable poetic beauty, the best use of cedar, is taking shelter under its shade in the heat of summer, or to take shelter during snow storms, the deer seem to love to to take shelter under them in the winter.
It's worth noting that the famous household cleaning agent called Pine - Sol used to contain 8-12 % real pine oil that was harvested from old yellow pine tree stumps that were left in the ground after clear cutting for at least 20 years or older but not anymore since supplies became limited . I've dug up several old cedar trees that were buried on my property and can definitely vouch for the intense smell of this pine oil which is highly flammable and very painful if it touches your mucous membranes or your eyes .
Amen. And then they disobeyed their Creator. His answer? He clothed them with fur and animal skins and forbade them entrance into their beloved garden. There were two trees in the garden. :) Who is The Living Water?
@@Garythedog3 Living water is unpolluted in an undisturbed watershed that flows in a stream exposed to sunlight and air. It is alive with good bacteria and microbes that are a big part of a healthy body. In today's world it will only be found in remote pristine areas. To drink this kind of water in today's world is truly a blessing.
"I have an idea. Let's go on a cedar hike today." That sound like something I would say to a friend, who would promptly roll his or her eyes bur follow along anyway. I love cedars. I love how you always talk about the plant's spirits as well as the more typical biology stuff.
+The Last Grownup in the Woods Thanks, as you know, it is so important to keep in mind that these plants are also conscious beings, not just the stuff for making food and medicine.
@@Herbal_Jedi It is great to see you write that. I studied Botany for 3 years at university and I love plants but have been criticised and mocked when I say plants have consciousness and can essentially "think". People laugh but I got to that conclusion from learning more and more about them and the only explanation was, for plants to evolve or do what they do there has to be awareness. It's so refreshing to see someone write this.
Boy oh boy! You friggen rock! Amazing! You are one great ambassador for peace, healing and knowledge! I love your stories and I have only just discovered you. Great! Live long brother!
I have been binge watching videos on this channel. I love it! So informative and entertaining. As an anthropologist, I love hearing about the cultural significance of these plants as well. Thank you!
+Alicia Benjamin so glad to hear you are enjoying our videos, if your going to binge watch something its nice for it to be both educational and entertaining. Let us know if there is any plants you would like us to take a deeper look at this year.. ;)
Have you read Ethnobiologist, Nancy Turner's artful book on the Plants of Haida Gwaii? Linguistics, cultural respect, art, legends, family truths despite diverse truths.
I have cedar all over my acreage and now I’ve learned to use it in my macrame. The little tables I create make my friends so happy! The scent is intoxicating.
In Siberia they also have a big native tree with strong medicinal properties they call cedar. But it is a pine, a close relative to the endangered American white bark pine.
Thank you for your beautiful perspective and knowledge . I almost cried because I didn't realize any one still holds that knowledge got the communication to the plant kingdom. Everyone calls me crazy for me relationship to plants and animals. Thank you again. Keep doing you and stay blessed.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 1:29
Cedar is one of my favorite essential oils, I had no idea it was such a powerful medicine. So grateful for the wisdom you share! 🙌❤️🔥 I will be sure to connect, respect and give thanks in the future.
The cedar around my house is the Western Incense Cedar, Calocedrus decurrens. Very aromatic. The Native Nisenan and Miwok used the bark for their houses. The bark grows very thick and is fire resistant. Thanks for the good info! BTW what kind of hat is that your wearing? Its great!
I am so happy to tell you I have a giant cedar tree in my yard, it’s 175 inches in diameter, which I think tells me it’s close to 200 years old. I hope it makes it to 1,000 but sadly I won’t be here to know. I love Tree, the fragrance she imparts to my home and garden is remarkable. I’m happy to hear all about her special, sacred qualities too, thank you Yarrow!
the western red cedar is a type of cypress and the denser branches and roots make very adequate hunting bows. I use the pieces of wood from the western red cedar that resemble yew in their red smooth papery bark for bow making. the fresh leaf tips are tasty when hiking
There is a Vortex in the Keweenaw Peninsula/Upper Michigan.....it is AMAZING....you get inside, hold the cedar trees, and close your eyes! WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! They do a "people's fest" there yearly. Got a pic of the Vortex with "someone" in there, that really wasn't there.....I'd love to see you hit that! At Prospector's Paradise...Keweenaw County, Michigan!!
What is being called cedar in the video is actually Juniper. Cedar doesn't occur naturally in north America. Juniper comes in many different varieties and smells great and very durable wood.
My brother, you are amazing! Sad it took me this long to discover your channel, happy I discovered it! I always loved cedar but now I just learned so much more. Thank you beautiful shaman!
I was born in B.C. Canada...grew up in Alberta...whenever my family would visit the coast when I was a kid , I would first think of the smell of cedar to remember home...rain and cedar perfect combination.😁
The native flute and the stream running in the background. Just a wonderful feeling. I came looking for more knowledge on ceder and was able to relax too.
Accidentally wat hed this video when a new phone started playing TH-cam videos automatically (which I don't normally do). I am so glad I did! I have always had a love affair with cedar, and now I know more of the reasons why.
I have come across a few of your videos lately. I enjoy your videos about each plant and the sacredness in how to harvest. My property is surrounded by Cedars, Oaks, & Pines. I am now more interested in pursuing more medicine making. I have been making Elderberry tonic for quite a few years now. My Herbalism teacher told me we may need these plants some day for survival. I think she's right!
I so enjoy your video field trips, humour and exacting herbal knowledge. You must be related to Dr. Terry Willard, or am I off on that assumption. I studied under him in 1978 and since herbology is my got to healing plant. Now with ankylosing spondilosis diagnosed I am thinking the cedar, my chosen last name may be one key plant to enjoy. Thx.
Yarrow, that was an awesome episode! I love watching your channel because I not only learn so much, but you have such a pleasant, kind, and reverential disposition and approach to imparting your wisdom. It makes nature walks with my doggos that much more engaging! Many thanks. 💚
I've been hiking along the Cowichan River lately and EVERYTHING smells like cedar. As soon as I get deep in the forest and that smell hits my brain...I'm on another plain.
Thank you so much for this great video! I appreciate the teaching of how important it is to connect with the plant for permission to it's medicine. Very important
Just found your channel yesterday. I love the content. I've been on a spiritual journey that has recently brought me to Source knowledge and hearing you speak about the plants and source is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing these videos!
I believe this tree to be my Ancestors tree. I always heard oak is the tree of life.. This summer I have been such a lover of her!! I have hugged her sat with her.. Yaas!
Are you in the Willamette Valley? I'm located there and thank you for this video, I've really felt the call to work with the Cedar and Madrone trees. I'm glad to see other people learning of this divine guardian
I love this video Yarrow. I learned so much powerful, healing wisdom. Your presentations are beautiful, thankyou for teaching this critically important and lifesaving information. I have so much respect for nature and its wisdom, you have helped me become this way, thankyou for being you Yarrow, I appreciate you. Elaine
I actually heard about these a week or two and thought that would be cool to find out in the woods. I put it out to the universe. Flash forward to today and the neighbors little boy asked my husband what a plant was. It turns out it is a ghost pipe. It is growing in both our yards. My chickens got to most of mine but my neighbor said take some. They are all around our houses. I cut some off at the bottom and put them in 80% vodka and thanked the land for this gift. I heard 2 weeks in alcohol but would like more information why I wouldn’t do this for 4-6 weeks? Any added info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I love what you are doing. You love the nature. You invite the people back to connection to the nature. It has a tremendously importance, you are right and agree totally with you. You respect, honor the nature and you thank and express your gratitude to the plant, but please do not forget the Creator of all the things you promote. For HIM our entire reverence!
I love to use this with appreciation and gratitude as a foot tea bath and ceremony for Mother Earth and Creator. Thank you so much for sharing your alignment with consciousness. ❤️🙏☀️Loretta Port Alberni
There may be more than 30 species *called* cedar around the world, but they are actually unrelated to each other. The cedar you are talking about is native to the American west coast and anywhere else you find it (e.g. the UK where it is widely grown in commercial forestry, as is Sitka spruce), it's been introduced. It's a member of the cypress family, as are most other species referred to as cedar. The name cedar originally referred to the Lebanese cedar (which also grows in Turkey and Cyprus) which although also a conifer is a member of the pine family and looks totally different from WRC. There are also three non-conifers, all members of the same family as mahogany, which are called cedars (such as 'Spanish' cedar and Australian red cedar).
😆 love some of the editing on these older ones. My dad is from by revelstoke, B.C. forest district and does salvage logging of cedars for hand cut shakes and shingles. it is dying out now to find them handmade because machines make everything now, but what a lovely job he had out there. Only taking some of each naturally fallen tree, or scraps from logging companies. I grew up helping him cut cedar shake blocks and load the truck so the smell of cedar is literally the tree of life to me too 🥰
Yes, thank you for this vital precious knowledge! I'm on the northeast coast would the eastern red cedar, "Juniperus virginianar" have the same healing properties as the western red cedar, "Thuja orientalis"? I notice they have different names yet are visually almost identical
In the Tsalagi medicine tradition, Atsi (eastern red cedar) is used similarly. It is also quite good for repelling disease carrying insects (with the exception of deer ticks, for some reason).
Hello there Yarrow! What are your thoughts on the medicinal properties of white cedars and junipers? I live in North Carolina and have these trees on my land. I am hoping to make some teas & tinctures! Many blessings!!!
Love the herbal adventures! How about the ferns that grow beneath the canopy of the beautiful west coast forests. I bet there's some ancient plant wisdom they have to help us, a more recent species walking the earth :)
I am interested to know more about Alder trees, is there any medicinal use for them ? I have made syrup and drank the sap, I know oyster mushrooms love them, any other uses?
Thujone and various terpenes also work against some parasitic organisms and viruses, though the relief it produces is not always dose dependent. Just a little can knock out a lot of microbes.
Lol, one minute in and Lmao!! Din't know you were also a comedian 😆! , this being only my second video of yours since discovering your fabbbulouss, 'Mulling Over Mullein' tonight! 👘 Hahahahaha, Now back to the Show! OmG, Hilarious that snap to the forest, then panning down to those funny faced shorts 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
I am like really into the horsetail and Cedar for a deeply spiritual reason. Is there any part of the cedar perhaps the meristem that you can deal with it's not so toxic.
You are awesome man have you ever noticed that the trees can communicate with us vocally by squeezing their upper branches also they make pictures of the creatures in the woods around them in their bark
ok intro was very inventive and funny..loved it..I also loved the information..I have a lot of red cedar here in South Carolina..so it's wonderful to watch a video that's full of fun and humor and amazing information as well..great video

I'm wondering, is this the red Cedar Tree?
Yes it’s “ Western Red Cedar “ it’s native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States 🇺🇸 and through west coast of Canada to southeast of Alaska
As a lover of wetlands and wooded areas, and their indescribable poetic beauty, the best use of cedar, is taking shelter under its shade in the heat of summer, or to take shelter during snow storms, the deer seem to love to to take shelter under them in the winter.
It's worth noting that the famous household cleaning agent called Pine - Sol used to contain 8-12 % real pine oil that was harvested from old yellow pine tree stumps that were left in the ground after clear cutting for at least 20 years or older but not anymore since supplies became limited .
I've dug up several old cedar trees that were buried on my property and can definitely vouch for the intense smell of this pine oil which is highly flammable and very painful if it touches your mucous membranes or your eyes .
"Tree of life grew on both sides of the river and the leaves from the tree were the healing of nations"
And though he was an older strain of ganja he was still one of the most worthy cannabis cup winners of the 90’s.
Amen. And then they disobeyed their Creator. His answer? He clothed them with fur and animal skins and forbade them entrance into their beloved garden. There were two trees in the garden. :)

Cedar trees are wonderful. We must thank Mother Nature for bestowing kindness upon us in the form of trees. Thanks for the video.

Wonderful! I had started to randomly eat that a few years ago, not knowing it was such a part of human culture.
Wow, I am so thankful I found your channel. I’ve been looking for someone with this kind of earth wisdom! I’m hooked thank you so much!

Hello there Yarrow! What are your thoughts on the medicinal properties of white cedars and junipers? I live in North Carolina and have these trees on my land. I am hoping to make some teas & tinctures! Many blessings!!!
Mr. Willard I say that with much respect. I have just started watching you, awesome show always a wealth of information thank you
I love that give back connect with the spirit of the cedar! Horray
Great video, I have used cedar for over 25 yrs and I love how you approach Cedar and share how you use her.
Hi. How did you use it? Can it be used for diabetes?
Great clever and educational👍
Thanks love cedar!!!
Your videos bring me to tears of joy
Unashamed to exist. i love it brother
Love the herbal adventures! How about the ferns that grow beneath the canopy of the beautiful west coast forests. I bet there's some ancient plant wisdom they have to help us, a more recent species walking the earth :)
I am interested to know more about Alder trees, is there any medicinal use for them ? I have made syrup and drank the sap, I know oyster mushrooms love them, any other uses?
I needed to trim some lower branches of my cedar tree, so this is super information to have.
Thujone and various terpenes also work against some parasitic organisms and viruses, though the relief it produces is not always dose dependent. Just a little can knock out a lot of microbes.
Thank you, very insightful and interesting. Great to see how you honoured the Trees, reciprocity and sacred ceremony.

Cedar cures interesting. Talking of food now Bell Bind as Bell Wined is good for foraging, weed eating, but would you recommend it?
You are awesome man have you ever noticed that the trees can communicate with us vocally by squeezing their upper branches also they make pictures of the creatures in the woods around them in their bark
