Check out our online herbalism course- school.thewhisperingwillowfarm.com/offers/ggYWznWJ/checkout
Are there more details available as to what specifically is taught in the course?
give us a book who speaks about combination in tinctures !!
Do you receive a type of certificate of completion or certification that you can hold for yourself?
Hello I'm very interested in taking the course I also would like to know if I can use this course as a certification
I'd like more information. Once you've paid for the course, what then? Are you sent a sign-up link....? Need more detail as to steps.
I am a 70 year old woman who has seen what chemicals and sugar to do to the body. I am now working on a more natural way of life. Never to late to start. Wishing I had done something differently does me no good. You and your mom gives me hope that I can go forward on this health journey. Thank you!
I am so happy for you!!! It is never too late!
I am 63. I wish I had known about this 30 years ago. But, maybe I can teach my girls and son for their kids.
Same here, 61 and wanting land and start growing my own stuff, but at the same time terrified
Thank you for inspiring me to learn something old. I'm just getting started
Right there with you. Never too old to learn something new!
My mom is a family physician and has recently been talking about wanting to learn more herbalism so that she can also offer more natural recommendations for patients who want/need it. I’m a medical illustrator and gardening enthusiast, and I’m really hoping to be able to get more into this with my mom. I appreciate when there are more scientific explanations for herbalism as well since that tends to be how I like to learn things.
I wish she was my doctor! That’s awesome. Good luck to you both💗
You may (or not) want to check out Dr Jin Sung..
Your om sounds cool, good luck for both of you❤
Kudos to your mom, we need more doctors like her that still care about their patients enough to want to offer a natural alternative to chemical "medacine"! God put everything we need to heal ourselves on this earth in the form of plants. I haven't gone to a physician in years.
18:00 they are! An attitude of gratitude goes far
I also have had your mom's book prescription for natural healing, for about 30 years now I have used it till the pages are about falling out, my mother who was a ICU CCU nurse gifted the book to me. Truly the book is a treasure.
This was the best and most informative video I have seen on getting started in herbalism. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in a step-by-step process that was not only helpful to me as a beginner, but also so incredibly inspiring. I struggle with that fear factor of jumping into unknown territory, but you have encouraged me to step out into my front yard, and have provided me with resources to get started, and for that I want to say, THANK YOU!!! I also appreciated how you addressed that herbs cannot do all of the work for a person, we have to individually take responsibility and action in living healthier lifestyles for herbalism to truly be effective. It is beautiful to witness how the Lord works through people when they obey and follow their calling. May you and your family forever be abundantly blessed!
Thank you Jennifer 🥰 I just hope everything that I share is helpful for those who need to hear it💛
@@TheHoneystead they are dear daughter in Christ, believe me you touch more lives than you will ever know, or rather, He touches them through you.
Amen my sisters, amen!!!
The best advice I ever got was, yes, learn the plants growing outside your door. Learn them well, one at a time. Take a summer with one. Learn to understand through taste and smell. After some years go by and you've understood dozens of plants.. you'll slowly realize that you only really need a handful of plants to cover every need. You'll see very good herbalists in India have only ONE herb, prepared in various ways depending on the need.
Ethically foraging is the way to go!! Once you learn one plant, you’ll never look at any plant the same way!
And understand herbalism is not x remedy for y problem. Each person has a unique constitution (example, my daughter is dry and cool, other family members might be damp, dry, hot, cold). A "hot" person doesn't need hot remedies like ginger or garlic. Studying systems of the body is important too.
I love your channel!!😍😍😍
I'm going to check out your books. I got the hanging drying rack. I love it!
Because of you and your mom I have a beautiful herbal garden growing now. I have enjoyed learning so much about each plant I grow to help my family. I am tired of all the chemicals they put in medicine with all the bad side effects. Thank you for taking us along in your journey and taking the time to teach us about plants and bees along the way. :)
OMG! You are such an inspiration to me! My husband and I are starting our homestead in upstate New York (we are in our 60's). We are making something from nothing, basically over 80 acres of field and forest. I am having a great time identifying plants, I found some yarrow that I plan on transplanting and harvested some red clover that I currently have in my dehydrator. We picked some wild raspberries and there is so much more that we haven't even discovered yet! Thank you for sharing your favorite books, I plan on expanding my library. I plan on taking an online course through the Herbal Academy this summer.
The Green Pharmacy was the first book that got me started in herbalism. My grandmother gifted it to me a few years ago. Now I have a ever growing collection of herbal books. I was super excited when you told us that it was your first book also.
I am starting to try to heal from chronic Lyme using a renowned herbal tincture protocol. One of the main plants is Japanese knotweed which fascinates me as there is great fear and hatred about this amazing plant amongst the general population.
Have you read - unlocking Lyme?
Thank you again you are inspirational I would like to have half of your energy. I so enjoy the 4 generations of Wild Women it reminds me of my wild women some are only with us in spirit so glad you have made your place
I just listened to this, my first one of your videos while working in my garden. I’m learning to grow veggies too, but am most interested in the herbs. Plus they seem to grow better for me anyway!
Loved all the tips & also the references.. I may want to add them to my growing library.
I look forward to seeing your other videos. 👏👏👏
I’ve shared your channel with many people I thought should hear about natural herbs and what and how to prepare and use them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Alberta Canada
Awesome! Thank you! 💛💛💛
Love your Energy 🎉 love the Reality you all bring! Stay Real our lives need more Real ? Care centers need this
I just found you and appreciate your style and openness to share your passion and experience with herbalism. I’m a homeschooling mom of five in the southwest and can’t wait to continue learning and healing my family with plants. (Really glad you shared your booklist especially!) Thank you, and God bless you and your family! 🌿
Do you have a video on your kitchen apothecary, what you use the most, why and how you use it? That would be awesome to learn about!!
Great overview on how to approach the beginner stage of becoming an herbalist. Very helpful! At 56 years old, I'm finally ready to becoming serious with it. Where I live, in rural Maine, I'm literally surrounded by healing plants. People here have literally no idea about the "Garden of Eden" that they are living in. So, I'm really encouraged by your video. I'd like to become a community herbalist over time.
I do bad want to visit Maine! My husband and I talk about how beautiful it must be!!
I too am an inspring herbalist living in rural Maine! This spring my intention was to go pick all my dandelions and make a salve and tincture and dry some for tea. I need to quit my day job as an accoutant or get an at home position just so i dont have to drive 2.5 hours everyday. Hello neighbor!!!
@@TheHoneysteadThe entire state is absolutely gorgeous! And like the other poster said simply teeming with medicinal plants. Seems fitting that the Maine state motto is, " The way life should be!" As soon as I am able to take the time, I am signing up for your course . It is my absolute dream to have a thorough apothecary so I can always treat the people I love and myself (diabetes) in spite of whatever is going on in the world/country!
Yes Kaylee, you have set up an Apothecary that is a complete, full blown, self contained unit. No other one compares to yours.
💛 thank you Alan!
ha! I would be able to match hers.... 🤣 But my room is not completely set back up yet (I painted my whole house recently) so mine is all over the place. I also have homeopathy and essential oils. My husband is always like "do you really need this much"? I am like "you never know who will need it". Especially in these times.😥 Better to have it and not need it rather than to need it and not have it.😉
You have a beautiful dream/goal. Thanks for inspiring me
You have a skill for explaining. I’ve learned more in this video than I’ve ever learned from other videos on herbs. I’m so glad I ran across your channel. I’m a nurse and I think like that myself.
Have you thought of an online class for teaching the basics of herbalism? You and your mom are natural teachers and I would for sure sign up!
Rosemary Gladstar has great beginner herbalism books and can be a starting point for folks interested in the folk method and just starting to understand the essence of the plants and more wise woman way.
Wow what a wonderful video ! I am a plant based eater and have recently been looking at herbal mocktails and you’re right it’s overwhelming in the beginning so thank you for showing all your wonderful books and info ! I’m visual of course as an artist so these books are perfect for me ! Grateful!
We have a lot in common. I have the same career history and more. I went to New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics and was introduced to herbology. I enjoy your channel because I'm developing a permaculture food forest in my back yard as a hobby in preparation for retirement and I find your channel and others like it reminds me of things I've forgotten sometimes and sometimes I learn new things. Thank you! Glory to God! 🙏🕯☦️❤️
I really want to know more about herbalist....I am glad Knowing this channel. I am from Indonesia
I think that you are a wonderful resource. I enjoy your presentations. You are a gifted and encouraging teacher.
Thank you so much for the breakdown of each book and why you like that specific book. - Much appreciated!
excellent content! Do you have a list of herbs we should have in our kitchens for the everyday basic uses? If so, please share. Also, would be a good video topic. have a blessed day and thanks for all you do.
Lol. I have learned a lot from you. What ever you are doing keep on keeping on as I thought you were a 20 yr old sharp as a tack lil lady. Then you say your work history and teenage youngsters. Holy smack!!!! Lol. Good work. Thanks for the links to everything. My grannies taught us basics when we were young. I've been diving deeper over the last 2 yrs. These references and your informative videos are very appreciated. 👍🇺🇸🤗
Thank you forbthis video and your honesty. I am a florist and have been for many years. In last 6 years got into herbal med with my chickens. And have been branching out since. I love herbalism and all it does. And you and your mom are a big inspiration to me.. I grow alot of my herbs too and have started setting some goals to make this more of a part of my life and mission. Just wanted to Thank-you for that nudge today!!!!
I got halfway through, and decided I needed to make a second comment.
I am a mom/caregiver of a 30 year old, diagnosed with Fredreich"s Ataxia.
We just passed the third anniversary of him being at home with us, again. He had been in a group home, but, no one will ever lock me away from my son, so now he's at home.
I applaud your faith, young lady. It's a big step, to walk away from the system, and do the righteous thing. You will be abundantly blessed, for this action.
I have been suffering severe burnout. You reminded me that I need to be grateful, and gracious.
You have given me a great gift, today.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this with me! Faith is a huge part of Herbal Medicine as well. Burnout is real and I want you to look up adrenal fatigue! Adaptogens are going to be your friends and one of my favorites is Holy Basil!
Remember to fill your cup as you are constantly pouring it out for others 💛
good for you to know what you can not accept from the folks trying to tell us all what to do and feeding us crap of all kinds. Food or ideas, both can be healing or they can be toxic.
You are a good human. Yay for you.
So funny, I picked up that Green Pharmacy book at the op shop (Australian speak for thrift store) on the weekend!
"The Green Pharmacy" was one of my first books too! It's still on my shelf! 😀
My husband noticed your necklace and wondered what was inside. I told him that is was a mustard seed and that it represents Faith! Was I right??
Yes you are ! Jesus says “ Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move “
I took up your challenge from several months ago to identify some of the plants growing in my yard most are poisonous: Poke weed, Belladonna, Japanese Hornblower, and Mexican Fire Spike. Not sure what it says about me and my yard😁
you are my treasure find of the day! Excited to learn from you !😊Thank you.
You are so fun and inspiring......I have been gardeing for years in our little 1/2 acre in Hilo Hi. and was behind excited to realize how many healthful herbs I have in my garden, that I have never used other than culinary or ornamental. I just ordered the Encyclopedia of medical herbs that you recommended and can't wait to jump into this next" plant adventure". Mahalo to you, and your Mother for being WILD WOMEN !
I recently started studying at chestnut school of herbal medicine and I actually love it. My goal is to open my own Botanica store /online shops for herbs candles and incense :). So far the classes are nice and the textbooks from the school is really nice too!
Hi! A French lady in California. I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m learning a lot while I embark on my herbal journey. I’ve had my living apothecary for a year now. A modest 5-6 herbs that I learn to use and love, and I reach for them when I need to heal myself. I’m getting more adventurous and will create my own tinctures soon. I’m considering doing the Berkeley herbal center program. I love your content a lot! A wonderful source of motivation & education 💚 thank you!
There is also the Blue Ottar Herbal school too in your area.
Did you get a chance to look at the video of the pink Turkey tail? Im pretty sure its the last one on this channel. I haven't had a chance to see this video but I cant wait. My mother is a nurse and well I haven't been to a dr since 92 nor a funeral. Anywhoo. Thank you so much You are all must be Awesome.

Ohhh I need to!!! I’ll do it know!
Hi Kaylee, thank you❣
I took care of my future Mother In Law Thelma who was told she had only 2 months to live. She had esophageal cancer & I was unaware that she had a dead lung when we moved her into our home.
I am a (jack of many trades & a master of none) seamstress & I decorated my workroom in an English garden fashion to make it as cheerful as possible. I was her 23/7 caregiver, Hospice sent a woman to watch Thelma every day for 1 hour so I could do the shopping, mail, errands etc. I cooked & pureed enough food to last 4 months & vacuumed packed & dated it & filled my freezer with things I knew she'd enjoy. We had an indoor outdoor Atrium with my numerous potted roses, corn plant and patio umbrella table & seats.
Under my care she was getting better and by the 4th month that evening when Irene came back to check on Thelma she called me into the room and asked me to listen to Thelma's lung, I heard the lung making the swooshing noise & told her it's her lung working. Irene looked at me and told me, "That lung hasn't worked in 6 years & that it was a first for her books."- I was surprised as I didn't know about it. Irene asked me what I was doing & I told her Thelma sits outside every day for a couple hours in either the Atrium or the back screened in porch (with a beautifully lush green elkhorn fern & other plants, and a white trellis I made with realistic Ivy & red flowers and we had full 6' hedges for shade snd privacy and we had a couple of chairs & a table, they're the places she smoked & would get indirect sunlight & fresh air daily and the meals I made her all had organic vegetables, she was eating 16 oz if soup for dinner nightly & I believe I made her fruit smoothies for breakfast because that's what we had in the mornings. The most important thing Thelma was getting every day & night was love. She loved watching me play with my young Amazon parrot Crystal Lynn in the morning after breakfast & again after dinner before Crystal Lynn was put to bed. Onthe 6th month Thelma basically stopped eating, only 1/4" of her soup would be eaten. That was it, I tried to tell her there would come a time where she woukd want to eat, but wouldn't be able to, so enjoy your meals while you can. She wouldn't listen, she lived for 7.5 months.
After the funeral I designed & made my wedding dress, made my 3 tiered wedding cake that told the story of how we met & I decorated the church & embellished my red roses bouquet with pearls, seed beads etc. I catered the food & my oldest sister put the red toses & baby's breath in all the vases & placed one on each table. I produced our wedding & drafted our vows. All tge bridesmaids had the pattern I picked out & the fabric a pale blue embossed looking silk like material, it had to be home made. We had a red, white, & blue wedding.
It was after this that I started doing all the research I could on cancer. I had nearly all of Dr. Hulda R. Clarks books on cancer & read them all & learned about Dr. Lorraine Day's book/CD Cancer doesn't scare me anymore. Her survival story. Then my online research on anything I could find out about cancer. Now I know how to treat squemous cell cancer with my own homemade salve which doesn't leave any scars behjnd & draws the cancer to the surface & it's gone Bloodroot is amazing with comfrey salve.
Now I'm learning everything I can about herbs. I mKe my own Elderberry herb,bark, juice & make gummies & syrup & my bubby wants cough drops. So they'll be being made next.
Thank you so much I've started getting some herbal books; Tosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes, The Modern Herbal Dispensatory A Medicine - Making Guide and one to pick up. I have the Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook A Home Manual on my Amazon list. I decided to get a few of these books assp yo have them & put them to good use to help as many as I csn. My hubby's 82 & still works 40 hours a week. He's out lived both of his parents years due to his diet and the herbal supplements I have him doing, I'm Convinced beyond a a doubt that our Holy Almighty Messiah has put this fire in my heart to learn as much as I can. I want to help people who are suffering to live a healthy life. You're an inspiration 🤗🥰🙆♀️❣
Wow thanks for sharing your story! What salve did you use to topically draw cancer out?
@@DebbieCWellness
I bought some dried bloodroot (very expensive if you can'tfirage for it yourself, grows wild in VA & PA), ground it to a powder, added Dr. Christopher's Comfrey Ointment (just barely melted), CBD oil a few drops, some organic Castor oil just enough of these items to make into a thick paste & applies it to the area(s) in question & held it in place with Press N Seal & kept it on until it fell off or became dried out ( it never dried out because I used Press N Seal). Repeat 2 - 3 days after you notice nothing left but clear skin, you want to make sure you don't leave anything behind to reform.
I'm not a Dr & I tried this & it worked for my husband, he couldn't go to a surgeon due to it being so close to his eye.
He had had a large squamous cell cancer form on top of his head & I was with him throughout the surgery & have photos of everything.
He healed very well and the area the Mohs (sp?) Surgery on his leg healed remarkably well & his normal flesh tone came back, the surgeon was surprised.
The surgeons Mohs surgery site went a dark grey. He showed it to us before my husband had to have the surgery on his head.
I hope this helps. I didn't have any recipe to go by, just used what U thought would help the most.
Now I'm takjng a home course on herbology with really good books, some I learned on the YT channel Honeystead.
Its a great channel!
Please let me know how you do. Thank you 🙋♀️.
@@kayyb
Thank you very much.🙌😚🙆♀️💋
I try hard to help those that are dropped through the cracks and sent home to die when there is lots of God given herbs to help us live out healthy lives.
If we all share freely what our Holy Almighty Messiah/Creator left on this earth to help us take care of ourselves, none would be without & we would all live in harmony.
We need to relearn His laws;Leviticus 11 & Deuteronomy 14, for a 3rd witness Job 14-4, and obey them.
The good deeds & kind acts we do on a daily & nightly basis is what will go before us before Him during our life review.
Our Holy Almighty Messiah watches over His flock that obey Him & makes their enemies to be at peace with them.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We all need to do our own homework and learn as much as possible.
1 Samuel 8 is what got us into this mess,
2 Chronicles 7 :14 is the only answer.
The return of Christ is the only other option we have.
Praise our Holy Almighty Messiah/Creator for blessing us with angels to
Guard over His scattered flock & report to Him of how we are serving Him in this life.
Maranatha ❤ 🐑 🩸🩸🩸✝️ 🤍 🕊👑 💫🙋♀️
What a lovely story. thanks for sharing.
I am so glad for you, Thank you for sharing it is often a tough path but we trudge on and it makes us resilient. You never lose your people they are with you always and Ms Thelma smiles at the thought of you
Okay, top 3 herbalist books to purshase on Amazon! I have a little knowledge already. I just don't want to be overwhelmed like you say but also want to learn everything I can 😅
Wanted to say I absolutely love this video and your content
I appreciate that! 💛
Wow! Thank you this was a very helpful video. Getting started has been difficult for me.
Are you going to be offering a class online in the future because I think you would be fabulous I watch all your videos and I have learned so much from you and your mom. Thank you for all the content you are inspiring you and your mom are so inspiring. Just remember you inspire a girl from Texas that’s 50 years old and it’s learning something new that’s something old which is great.
I am loving your videos and learning so much from you both talking about all the medicinal herbs , I am living in South Africa and want to try start a medicinal garden, I wanted this since I was a child , now I am in my seventies and you really inspire me to go and try this , thank you 😀
I have learned so much from you guy’s. And I loved the video with you and your mom making the ginger, turmac, ( I’m not sure I spelled that right 😂 ) and orange’s ❤that’s what I love about you guy’s. You show us your realness!!
Then the video of your wild lettuce. Omg ,, I had it in my front yard and I’ve got it going ( there’s more still out there, that I’m going to get done. ) but I’m so thankful for you guy’s and everyone else that’s helped me with trying to get answers and giving me their knowledge to
I just love your channel !❤
I found and purchased the 1914 edition of the 1400+ page book Health and Longevity by Joseph G. Richardson, M.D. I can tell you that we have lost so much knowledge / information. My nursing background (and radiography and laboratory technician / technologist) is critical care; surgical ICU (open hearts, LVADs, organ transplants, trauma 1, CNS, cancers - commanos, whipples --), pediatrics, procedural care (all areas, preferring the OR), pediatrics - including cancer and surgery, and hospital supervisor including the morgue for 2 counties. I worked in these roles in SE FL, SE AK island, SE TN. From inner city to frontier to rural hospitals. Oh, and clinical adjunct teaching at UAA in the frontier (island) setting. Ugh! I'm old...Working with the natives is most eye opening. I had the chance to learn from a NP on the Seminole reservation in my hometown, Hwd, FL and later with the native clinic in Metlakatla, AK. Working on my NP to hopefully work with natives and veterans. Wish me luck!! I am truly hoping to incorporate herbalist naturalistic skills / knowledge into my practice!
I was a CNA in an assisted living facility for Alzheimers and Dementia patients too!!! There's something about that that moves you... in so many ways. ❤
It definitely teaches patience and kindness! 💛 It is so heartbreaking, yet beautifully innocent at the same time!
I think it’s huge to stress that the US doesn’t have an actual recognized herbalist certification like you would get if you studied something in college. It’s sad because a lot of people don’t try herbalism because they think they MUST go to a school and don’t have access or money to attend and so many people are missing out on these wonderful plant allies. Do your own research and there are a wealth of books. Don’t feel like you can’t do it!!
I would love to see Herbal Medicine in Western Medicine!
Unless it was a critical emergency, herbal medic e sometimes would do more for you than the pharmaceuticals they give people.
@@shaylanrubendavila6940
Definitely & without the side effects of pharmaceuticals which mask the problem & doesn't find the cause/root of the problem to adress it naturally and work up a protocol to cure the root cause.
This is why I try to find NDs. They've saved my life 3 X & I took notes to make sure I never will have to go through the agony of usless tests from traditional medicine again. They couldn't give me a diagnosis after putting me through so many tests & wanted to do the same tests all over again.
I was flabbergasted & said how can you expect to get a different outcome by putting me through all those invasive tests again?
That's when I was blessed by a friend telling me to look for an ACAM Dr & I was blessed to find Dr. Bruce Dooley an MD here in S. Florida & an ND. I filled out a questionnaire he gave me & I told him what I was enduring. He gave me a kit and I gave a fecal sample & sent it to a Lab. A week later I went in & I was told my body was being taken over by 1 bad bacteria (Citrobacteria ferengi) & if it wasn't for me taking Bovine Collustrum, the bacteria would have taken my life & I was in my 40s! Dr. Dooley put me on a strict diet, Medical food supplements, herbal supplements & I had to have a couple RX meds to help me. I was cured in 3 months❣🙆♀️
I was born with Acute Intermittent Hepatic Porphyria.
I started learning as much as I could about herbs, roots, flowers & seeds.
I've recently started getting some books to help & Kaylee has graciously added to the list of books that I Definitely want to have in my health library.
Our Holy Almighty Messiah is so loving, He guided me to this channel and I feel so very blessed indeed ❣🙆♀️
Praise our Holy Almighty Messiah for His guidance and tender mercies❣🙆♀️
I have very happy memories walking to the school bus every day with my mum and learning the plants on the roadside
I have to honestly say .. your a very rare intellectual person of plant medicine.. be proud that you absorb the knowledge of learning plants as medicinal properties..
You can’t really debate which plant/herb is best for all. As like regular meds, DNA testing can show how different types process diffferent responses and metabolism of meds. Like Kava, it can be universally said to help all. But here again, someone with sleep problems if they lay off all fat! No chips, mayonnaise, luncheon meat or other fatty foods, as the metabolism has to speed up to digest fat. It doesn’t affect everyone, but enough, where oatmeal with brown sugar, some maple syrup to replace water/milk prortionally, a dab of butter to moisten it, which being fibrous, mucilage it prevents absorption of the fats!
Another thing to do is clean your air conditioner, new filter, but run it steadily for at least 35-45 minutes, do not worry about getting cold, but you want to get the moisture out of the home! A dehumidifier can do well too, where you don’t have to use your a/c to draw out the moisture!
Where the latter two help so much, but it depends on the person!
Whoever tries these, let me know, a thumbs up would be good!
These are not cure alls, it depends on the person! Where all 3 can affect a person!
But if you have insomnia, try these things and see if it helps if do let me know!
I used to be in a dead sleep then a low pressure (rain) would move in and wake me up, where I run the a/c, a little later I was back in bed!
I tried herbs like valerian root, it did absolutely nothing! Someone else it might!
This is sept 2024. I started my journey with mullein this summer. I found it by the lake and few other places. Saved a bunch of tops so ivcan plant it in the spring. I have like 6 quart size jars full for the winter and have a tincure vrewi g its almost ready. I also just made a dandelion root tincture. Anyway, enjoying learning about herbalism. Thank-you for videos, learning lots.
My first book I got was Dr.Duke's. I was worked as chemical lab technician. I am 69 and love learning. Your channel is very helpful. I am going to repeat this video to really get into my head. 🎉
Dr. Duke definitely made a name for himself and I love all his books!
I love your videos, and your passion for health and the well-being of others shows! I understand now why I've been so drawn to you: you're like my daughter. She has been a PCT for 14 years now, she works part-time at a local hospital to receive benefits, but Monday through Thursday, she cares for a dear lady close to us. She absolutely loves the elderly. And I see those same qualities in you.
This'll be long, I'm afraid! I wanted to tell my journey. So, I love flowers, especially wild ones. I would always wistfully look at them whooshing by the car every time we went somewhere. But never took time to explore or study. Then, 2020 hit. I got STIR-CRAZY! I HAD to do something. So, I started walking through my woods. I started noticing more and more flowers, and I went out there several times a week, so I noticed new ones. I found a wildflower group geared to my state, and joined it. Then it became fun to identify and post the flowers I found on there, and there were always people kind enough to help if I couldn't, or to correct if I misidentified one. When we got to October, I was still doing it! And that's when I saw a beautiful little speck of purple in my yard. I went back and pulled on it, and discovered a beautiful plant called Self-heal. I was excited, because even my identification guide told me it was used for healing by the Native Americans. That’s what started me on my journey. I wasn't alien to using herbs, but I just bought them from a neighbor who sold excellent quality tinctures. That seems to be how I am. I find one, I learn, I craft a product and see if it helps. Self-heal was a super find, and we use it internally and externally in salves. This year, I harvested new teasel roots to make a tincture for pain. I'm pushing 60, and my husband is 62 this year, do we have lots of aches and pains. I found St. John's Wort growing wild. I've made goldenrod tincture for allergies. This year, I started a medical herb garden. It's been quite a trip. And I'm glad I found your channel, because it is very helpful to me. God bless you and your family!
I love how God allows you to see the herbs! Sometimes it is like the plants demand our attention. The ones who take the time to listen are meant to share with other who haven’t seen them yet. I am so happy that you are listening and offering them to not only support you, but also your family! Keep going and I think it is lovely what your daughter is doing 💛
@@TheHoneystead The Lord has been SO GOOD to me! And thank you for your comment!❤️
I have found you in the last week and instantly subscribed. Your channel, you and your Mum are such a blessing 🙏 I am very new to foraging and herbs. I am in the UK but we have pretty much all the same herbs and wild flowers I have come across so far! Started off with finding self heal in my garden and was blown away as I have never been shown it or even knew what it was. Now I am identifying and learn about everything I can find, I now have a few tinctures and infused oils for salves around the house 😊. Our father in heaven has created such an amazing world for us to discover and heal ourselves with. Have a blessed week🙏
I'm just starting on my herbalism journey and I am so glad i came across your videos! thank you!
Do you use "LEVO" machine for infusions? or you prefer doing it the traditional way?
would you recommend infusing herbs with alcohol first, and then add the oil? which method would you recommend ? Thank you!
Living life with a heartful of gratitude and appreciation for all the simple true blessings all around us every single day...

Thank you for this video!
Just found you. Thank you.
I really don't know where to post this but you seem so approachable, so here goes.
My husband was recently (less than 10 days) diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. So many conflicting
information out there (follow the money trail to see who's sponsoring the info) I believe that good gut health & a good anti-inflammatory diet will help him. But where do I start??? Is there any good herbs that will help? Can you, with your medical back ground, point me/us in the right direction?
I am in love and obsessed with Plantain and dandelions right now.
I appreciate your videos immensely and am blessed by the relationship you have with your mom. You’re very blessed. You played a part of my enrolling in the Homegrown Herbalist Botanical online school. I Ve learned so much from Dr. Jones, also appreciate he is a believer. Thanks for all you do, I know how much ch work it is having a channel.m🌟♥️✝️🇨🇦
Yes yes and YES!!! Congratulations 🎉that is on my “next” list. I want to save up and enroll this fall/Christmas. I also appreciate his beliefs as well as his approach and sense of humor. And the fact that through being a veterinarian he has been able to use and see first hand how herbs can and have worked is such a blessing! Excited for you! God’s speed and blessings on your journey ❤️
I've got arnica n calendula n have made salves n I've got lots of different essential oils and I make soaps n detergent too.
I wish i could do what you are doing. I'm learning.
Where you learning and What do you get learned ?
@@Anonymous12954 I'm learning from this page, and many others. Research is a big thing.
Love all this! My process into learning about herbalism is similar! Late winter, I started a google spreadsheet and used 4 different books, pubmed, and healthline, to start learning about some of the herbs I'm most interested in using medicinally and taking notes from each source, so I could cross compare all my sources before deciding if an herb would be beneficial for my family. My list has close to 30 herbs and I made it through about a third of them before spring kicked in, and then the gears shifted to outside work. I'm getting ready to make my first echnicea and elderberry tinctures in the coming week so we're ready for the fall and winter, and I am looking forward to finishing my herb database this fall and winter. Found your channel while sitting out by the fire in March while boiling maple sap, and have been a regular ever since! Thanks for your time and knowledge! Best wishes!
Thank you so much for this! We bought a couple of the different Peterson Guides and would love to add some books to our arsenal.
Same here ❤
Discovered your channel today while sitting in line at the pharmacy getting yet another script for my mom. This is my first step on a life long journey. Hers and mine. ❤
Do you have a top 10 tinctures for common uses?
I love what you do thank you for sharing...if you would share the info on garden in Maryland please💚🌿🌱
Ohhhh thank you!!! I knew I forgot to add the link!

Thank you love
Yes God said there is a cure for all the sickness in our world mushroom Yes
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! I am just barely getting started. My Mom always had a way with plants and her garden. I am starting with the plants I grew up with up and then moving from there. So for now it is chile pequin, basil, I want to plant chives, aloe vera. I hope to make my own tintures and homemade teas soon:)
The perfect camping “buddy”
I'm so very grateful for everything you and your mom share I have learned so much from you guys! I have big dreams of starting a herbalism business eventually in the next few years as I have been a stay at home mom for the last ten years and just started working at a nursery because I just love teaching people gardening and working with plants! My main goal for next year is to get us chickens and hopefully having my own bees! I've had a small apothecary garden at home that I've been growing for the past seven years but by next year my plan is to expand by much more. I'm so excited and have been making all the lists of things I want to add that are new and stuff I'm already growing that I want more of. We have quite a large veggie garden as well and I love to preserve all the time things I can! I'm so inspired by how you share your love of herbalism. It's encouraged me to teach more of my family the things I have learned as well and it feels so good when they see how well herbs can help them and all the things they can find and learn about themselves if they just look around their own properties! ❤
Thank you for sharing this. Thank you so much!
I took some medical terminology and it has been a very useful tool in herbalism for me. I have started doing a lot more overlap in my studies.
I took Latin in school and it has helped tremendously!
@@TheHoneystead Oh my goodness YES!!! Through Classical Conversations homeschooling we are learning Latin and it is incredibly helpful! So cool!!!
My 11 year old daughter is interested in herbal medicine. Thanks for doing a video to help me guide her in what books to get. I would love to do classes with her as well.
🙏🏼
Thank you for another great informative video. I'm a hands on learner with book backup reference. Using an old Hoosier Cabinet for my foraged teas( and baking supplies). Have learned many things from you solar. Thanks for the giggles too 😊
Love your encouraging reminders that a huge apothecary isn't necessary. And I also enjoy seeing what it looks like to support a community with herbalism!
Thanks yet again! Medical herbalism.. wondering if thats a good one to show what breaks down herbs. Like water vs alcohol for grabbing all the goodness, if that makes sense lol
Or oil. Some things you need are Fat soluble.
I M a Shrooom Freak Kaylie❤
Kaylee, thank you for what you do. Just discovered your channel, love the info! I checked the Amazon so tore for 1 particular item and didn’t see it. Where did I get your apron?
I always say that even if you do a course it’s always good to start from where you are and what’s around you, family remedies, working with community herbalists / our elders and books. This will prove so valuable if you do go to school….some of the best herbalists I know never went to school in the western sense
Hi Kaylee....will you be writing a book? I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you for all you do and for saring so much with us.
I have studied with a lot of people over the years. Done a lot of herbal walks with Chris Marano. He is great. Although if I had to choose, Matthew Wood is hands down my favorite; just because of his wealth of knowledge and experience; and his micro dosing. . Because of him I became a micro-doser. And made me appreciate homeopathy even more. I now use both. I also use essential oils. Natural healing is amazing. Raised my family without a doctor.😃
I also enjoy Matthew wood! We got to here him speak last year… it was very cool!
Does Chris have a channel?
🥹😭thank you so much I am starting out with making tinctures and wanting help my friends and loved ones. I always feel like oh everyone knows these things and I hold back from really attempting to try get it out there. I have had a mimosa tree for 10years and have dealt with so much over those years only to come find out that the very tree I admire to look at is the very tree that is an antidepressant,anti anxiety tree. I just made my first tincture and waiting the 6 weeks to use it. Im excited on this new journey. Thank you so much for the encouragement and the love that you show in all your videos it has truly been a blessing and a sigh of relief
I’m currently taking courses through the herbal academy! It’s pretty amazing but I am just getting started. 😊

I just bought 2 of the Peterson field guide books on Amazon 🥰. One for me and one for my friend. She just recently inherited her parents property and they had so many herbs and plants in the gardens and around their property that neither of us know exactly what they are I’m hoping this book will help her. Well it’s going to help no matter what lol 😆
❤
Me. Gusta. Mucho. Tu. Contenido. De. Oler as. You. Are. Wandeful🇲🇽♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🙏
Exactly. Find a good book, learn the plants that are near you, make things, see how they feel for your body. That is ALL you need.
Oh my gosh! My first herbal book was also a second hand copy of The Green Pharmacy too!
Had to add that my second book was natural Healing A-Z. Ha, ha!
Love, LOVE you channel. Can you share with me the jars you use? I cannot see them that well.... so cannot tell if they are just mason jars? Thanks!
Quite a few herbs didn’t germinate for me. I think the 3 cold snaps interfered with those tender germinating seeds. Gonna resow. Peppermint spearmint lavender rosemary are the ones that didn’t germinate and I thought those would be easy.
Don’t give up!!! I’ve lost many!!! Keep trying 💛
@@TheHoneystead ❤️
Rosemary and Lavender will probably have to be started indoors under grow lights. In January since it takes it so long to germinate
@@bettyperrin4251 thanks. I put that on my calendar so I wouldn’t forget. You are soooo right.
I adore you..I have been watching another woman on her YT channel that has been into herbalism for many years..she has her own shop that she sells but never, ever mentions it or tries to sell you anything..she is a no non sense , straight upfront herbalist that saids in every video YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH to do this with so many making it more complicated then it ever needed to be..I recently was going to pay to take a online herbal corse to become certified..I’m not kidding this same day she came on to do a video stating that there is no reason to pay anyone when it’s absolutely not valid in the USA …it’s NOT acknowledged..it’s not going to get you a job anywhere in the USA which is why I was going to pay $600 in the first place for the coarse to become certified. ..it’s all bogus..you can’t learn herbalism in 3-months..it takes years and years and years and still won’t know everything ..anyone can call themselves herbalist without paying for it in the USA..I have great respect for her and her honesty..learning herbalism by searching the internet and books is all in my opinion is all free knowledge..
