This is a wonderfully informative video! Would you please consider making videos on each of your medicinal herbs; the storage, preparation and use of each? Thanks!
There are a lot of individual plant videos on my HomeGrown Herbalist TH-cam Channel.
And, for those that really want to dig in, there's the HomeGrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine. :0)
Doc Jones
And Carolyn has a masterclass on treating colds and flus with herbs, including common preparations, on their website. Highly recommend.

This was delightful!
Hello Kathleen 👋 how are you doing today?
Love this video. What a beautiful garden.
:0)
Really enjoyed this. So much great information.
So glad you found it helpful. :0)
Doc Jones
excellent video! love learning about herbal medicine gardens
Glad you enjoyed it Les.

@@HomeGrownHerbalist I subscribed to your channel last week.
i can not get interested when the common names are not used. bee balm
If I had my life to do over with.... I would have loved to have been an herbalist. I wish I had learned more about herbs, before I let doctors mess my life up. I had two doctors that ruined my health by having surgery. The first doctor didn't take out my right ovary, my right fallopian tube, and he messed up my colon/ intestines. A few years later I went to another doctor, because I knew there was something wrong. It was getting worse over time. He did a check up and told me everything was fine. Two weeks later my right side was hurting so bad. Went to the ER and they did a cat scan. They told me I had a big tumor on my right ovary. I said, wait a minute.... I don't have a right ovary. The doctor didn't remove it. The 2nd doctor didn't catch it on the ultrasound either. I had a hysterectomy and they had to fix all my intestines from where the doctor messed me up from the last surgery I had. My life was bad enough because of all of that. Then my thyroid went crazy. Then I went to a new doctor 2 years ago and she put me on some medication that ruined my heart and lungs. For a year and a half I tried to tell the doctors that something was wrong and they wouldn't listen. I had never had problems with my heart before I took that medication. Then a year and half later( this past March ) I had a heart attack. I'm so sick of doctors messing me up. I think modern medicine is great for certain things, but not for everything. I wish I knew something I could take to stop pain without it hurting my heart, my lungs, or my stomach.
Thank you for doing this series with Doc Jones. I’m sorry to say I’ve not heard of him previously, but I’m so appreciative of his knowledge combined with such a relaxed, calming, and unassuming style. He is confident in the gift The Lord has given him.
Caroline, we knew you’d get an A+. What a joy to see herbalism taught from faith in the Creator of those herbs! Not from the other perspective.
Every time we learn something new about what a plant can do, we learn something new about how much God loves us. :0)
Doc Jones
This was a great idea for a video and exactly what I needed to see. I've been adding and becoming familiar with a few herbs at a time over the past few years, and now I know what to prioritize for this year, and how to plant/arrange them so beautifully! Thanks Carolyn and loving all the segments with Doc Jones, what a wealth of wisdom--he should write a book!
He has a couple of books. And his website is pretty great, you should check it out!
Anyone who refers to herbs as "friends", I automatically like ☺️ wonderful video!
Well, how could one not be friends with those cute green rascals? :0)
Doc Jones
Agreed!
@@HomeGrownHerbalist my favorite herbal instructor! You’re kindness is Greatly Appreciated!!! :))
@@deweyory1635 Thanks Dewey. You're very kind.
Doc Jones
Catnip and fennel tea saved my premie son back in 1986. My milk dried up by the time he came home from the hospital, so he ended up on formula. After 1 month of constant colic and projectile vomiting, the doctor wanted to start him on Gaviscon. I switched him to Carnation evaporated milk and Karo syrup with added liquid vitamins, added 10 drops of catnip and fennel tea to 1 ounce of water twice a day...within a week, he was thriving and had no more colic or vomiting.
This is great information for parents that can't find baby formula now.
Wow good information thank you wo much for sharing!
I wish I'd known that with my eldest, she had horrible colic, we changed the formula milk about three times, eventually finding one that reduced the colic. I used to give her diluted chamomile tea and that seemed to help too.
Well done, so happy for you n your son ❤
Honestly that Hops Tinktur advice has made my life so much easier. My mom has chronic pain in her wrist after a pretty nasty fracture. Not only the Tinktur reduced her need for pain medication to almost non it has also calmed down the joint inflammation to where she has just about full use of her hand now. On top of all that I use it on my back and my my migraines have gone down from at least once a week to maybe one a month. The quality of life we gained with something so simple is just amazing.
That is amazing!
How wonderful to have an herbalist to walk through and learn from. The two of you together are a wealth of knowledge! I would love to hear more about many of these medicinal plants.
It is not only a beautiful garden but also a beautiful view.
I never knew that about hops! I'll be adding that tincture to my next dispensary order 😀 ❤
He's one of my favorite guests you've had. This series is super. Thanks, Josh and Carolyn
I've followed Doc Jones for some time. Not only does he have a great since of humor, but he has a wonderful spirit and an abundance of useful knowledge on herbs that really helps.
What an amazing herb garden. This is one of my goals. I love the wisdom that he shared about how to use many of the herbs. Thanks so much for this tour of your garden.
You just answered my question about how long did it take you to grow that When you start talking about your herbs,I grap a pen! Thank you.
Its amazing how much production one can get from an herb garden even in the first season. Josh & Carolyn have done a great ob converting a lawn into a tremendous resource to care for their family and others.
Doc Jones
This was such a great video. The gardens are beautiful. And...Doc Jones' laugh cracked me up. He just gets so tickled over things. Love it.
These kinds of videos are absolutely priceless. These are the kind of videos that I share to myself for safe keeping and quick references 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of my most favorite videos that I have watched so far; and I've been watching for years. Your herb garden is absolutely beautiful. I also love Dr. Jones' sense of humor and wealth of knowledge. This video was awesome.
Love Doc Jones! I'm also a student in his Home Grown Herbalist school! ❤
Such beautiful garden, I love it! I’ve been growing herbs the last 2 years and actually making our own medicines. I enjoyed this video so much, and it gave me some ideas on a designated herb garden. Thank you, Many Blessings!!
Carolyn's garden has a lovely flow and she has done a great job of having her bases covered medicinally. Fantastic job and just what every family needs. :0)
Doc Jones
Not just herbs , beet juice is good for blood pressure, and milk thistle with artichoke leaf extract, dandelion root, licorice root , to help clean your liver . You have a great herb garden. Nice to know what herbs can do, thank you.
Foods (real foods, not the commercially produced crops we mostly eat) really do have some wonderful medicinal benefits. I just wrote a lesson on Chinese food therapy for the HomeGrown Herbalist School.
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist I joined your channel today , I know it will help us to a better life. We are using natural powder from the health food store.
Your liver cleans itself just fine. If you're feeling like it's not doing its job and cleaning its self properly then you should see a doctor and get tests done to make sure your not suffering from liver damage or failure. Eating some roots and leaves wont help you if your liver shuts down.
This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dretiko, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my genital herpes virus,
I've recently found y'alls channel, and I'm soaking every bit of it in! Holy cow! I'm almost done with this video, and I'm probably going to listen to it again with a pen and paper and take lots of notes. So awesome Carolyn, and Doc Jones, fantastic job!
So will I😀
What an honor to get an A+. Thank you for sharing such a invaluable herbalist to us. Seriously considering getting his course as a Christmas present this year. Can’t wait to start. 😊
Holler when You're ready Britanie. I'd love to join you one that journey.
Doc Jones
Congratulations on your grade! I took so many notes during this tour. Thank you both!
I remember watching that first video when you were setting it up, and I immediately added all those seeds to my wish list. I'm growing a lot of medicine thanks to you!♥️
Same, rewatched and scribbled notes as fast as I could. More appreciation for herbs I have been growing and learned more uses for and some to go on the wishlist.
Please do lots more of these herbal videos!
Carolyn's garden is a treasure trove of learning opportunities. We could spend lots of time talking about those wonderful plants. There are a bunch of herb videos on the HomeGrown Herbalist Channel as well.
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist I am subscribed to you and have been watching a ton of your videos. Thanks so much!
This video has inspired me so much. I have bought a set of heirloom medicinal herb seeds and can't wait to get started.
Good work! You'll love having them. :0)
Doc Jones
The more that I read your posts on herbs, the more intrigued I become. You are a wealth of information, Carolyn! I really appreciate your insight... in all areas. I love how you and Josh honor the Lord and family and how you use what He's given you to encourage and be a great example to generations. I pray the Lord gives you strength and energy as you carry another little bundle into this world. 💕🙏🇨🇦
Hello Barbara 👋 how are you doing today?
Your guest sounds pretty much exactly like Warren Buffet 😉 I love your medicinal garden as well as all else your family shares with us. Long time subscriber.
His laugh makes me so happy!
This was great! I love this channel! Thanks for introducing us to The Homegrown Herbalist. Love you both!
I'm only halfway through this video, but man, it's FANTASTIC! I'm so glad this popped up for me ❤️
Wonderful video! Also very pleased with the rattlesnake venom tincture tips, very useful.
What grow zone are you in? Finding it hard to make a perennial herb garden in zone 3/4.
So beautiful. I can’t believe how tall and lush everything is.
Your garden is so amazing and beautiful, you have so many herbal medicinal plants, bravo girl!!!❤
I started studying herbs 15-20 yrs ago and just learned a few things about elecampane! I used it for asthma back when I first began studying and oh my is it BITTER! But did not know it's the source for Inulin. Inulin is used in Dr William Davis's L. Reuteri yogurt to heal the gut and for me SIBO. What a great piece of info! Your garden is beautiful!
Thank you so much for all the great info! Are hops OK for chickens? I'm hoping to get my chickens next year and thought I might plant hops around the chicken run to provide more shade in the summertime.
That’s a really nice medicinal garden, Carolyn!
Really enjoying seeing two of my favourite channels together, thank you. I have been really hoping you would do another herb garden update since you first posted about it and the added benefit of some of the herbal properties/uses with plant tour was really enjoyable too. Would you consider posting the recipe or how-to on making candied elacampane and the syrup?
What a wonderfully useful video! I adore hollyhocks I had no idea they were medicinal! Abd hops us my next friend to source x
I Really enjoy this video, I can just watch it over and over again, and I have about three times thus far.
I lived watching this, thank you!
Wow I have been dabbling in medicinal herbs for over 20 years and even *i *
Learned so much in this video!
It’s all grown so quickly Caroline , it looks fabulous, you must be thrilled 😁 hope your pregnancy is going much better xx
So good to see you back in action, Carolyn!
Very cool. Very helpfull. In this time and day.
I need people like you in my life . In a way , now I feel like I do .
I love the 'Homestead Family' content!!
I'm only 2 and a half minutes in and I'm already delighted with this man's laugh ❤😂
fun fact if you look up the fruit bergamot it shows the wrong fruit! it shows a kaffir lime(also known as a makrut lime) while a real bergamot is a small yellow citrus with smooth skin
Beautiful garden with so many benefits. Love the walk through and learning of different combinations for the applications. I need to take notes.
Glad you enjoyed it. :0)
Doc Jones
Excellent video Carolyn. I watched the original video when you started this garden. It’s such a lovely space. Thank you for sharing.
Totally inspiring, Carolyn! I've always been a bit intimidating by perennials and biennials, but I think I can do this on a small patch of front yard sunny space. I love the relaxed stroll you took, observing, identifying and discussing the medicinal benefits of each plant. Just lovely! Your hops idea for summer shade is exciting! We might just try this too.
not to mention trying it tinctured for pain! I am so going to try that for a person I know... hah! even for this old folk lol in an active life there are injuries on injuries sometimes!
Well, i so enjoyed your walk and talk. What an informative and encouraging 17 minutes. Thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would love an in-depth video of how you grow & take down your hops vines and why you use hemp twine 💕
Me too! That looks like a great system.
Doc Jones
You have such a wonderful herbal garden, loved the garden walk.
So much valuable information in this one video! I usually use TH-cam as background noise while I'm working, but I actually had to sit down and get a pencil and some paper for this one! Thanks to you both!
Thank you for doing this video. I never really understood the power of herbs before but realized I'm missing out on all this knowledge that you and Doc Jones have. I said to my husband, I need to learn about all of these herbs, but there so much info to learn and remember...I need a course. I grew more herbs this year than last but really have no idea how to use them. Doc Jones, you said that lemon balm is great for shingles. I got shingles on my face and eye mid January 2021, which has now turned to PHN. I have a very painful face. How would I use Lemon balm to help eleviate that? Any suggestions would help. Thank you. And thank you, Carolyn, for doing this amazing video. Love your garden! 🙂🇨🇦
So incredibly beautiful!! 😍🌿 Definitely goals, folks! Your elecampane is huge! I like making an oxymel with bee balm/bergamot. So good! Thank you for sharing. 💗
Sounds like a good oxymel. Like most mints, bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) does a lot of great things. BTW, for anyone that doesn't know, The bergamot they use to make the essential oil is a completely different, unrelated plant. Sometimes two plants that are completely different have the same name. Latin names are always different and are better tools for google searches and such.
I have been planning on attending Dr Jones herbal school. So glad to see him on your channel. Looking so forward to learning more about the herbs our wonderful Creator made just for.
The more learn about herbs the more I love them. I have a question? What herbs are good for diabetes? Thank you for sharing and Thank you Dr. for giving Carolyn an A+ she is stellar.
This is awesome! Love it!❤❤❤
What a wonderful episode! You both were so full of knowledge. Congratulations on your A+ grade from an expert. Beautiful garden!
So informative! Love it! I am still in the "putting together my medicinal garden" phase. As always, thank you so much for sharing!
This is my favorite of all your videos
This is one of my most favorite videos I’ve watched! 💞 And I do watch a lot, enjoying learning about many things.
You always have something interesting to watch on your channel, sharing your knowledge and I pick up some of that along the way. 😊
I’ve been watching Doc Jones videos too and really enjoying them. I love his take on herbal medicine and his examples of how he personally uses them.
Your herbal garden is beautiful! You have inspired me to change the way I’m growing things in mine!
I am glad you are feeling better. I love your garden. It has inspired me many times
Loved this video! We grow catmint/catnip to use with elderflower as a fever reducer, can't believe I never thought about it for tummy aches. This entire video was so informative and relaxed, I'm definitely motivated to up my game now!
Which do u use with elederflower? Catmint or catnip, or both?
@@anasazirose you can use either, they're essentially the same. I grow the catmint because it has prettier flowers.
I love the information! Doc Jones is very knowledgeable! Thank you
Oh my, what a beautiful and informative stroll through your cottage garden. I had know idea that hops had pain management properties. Would you mind sharing the variety of hops you are growing? Or will any type of hops work for that application? Tia
Absolutely love this guy an absolute well of information that has been tested…and such a valuable soul helping our animals as well…thank you for sharing this great video…stay blessed
I have not grown hollyhocks for years. Never knew it could be used medicinally. I have a small herbal garden for cooking but now I want to explore the herbal remedies for illness. Thanks so much Carolyn and Doc Jones.
Wow! Brilliant. What an enchanting and knowledgeable guest. Thanks for an exceptional episode.
❤Thank You LORD for all your servant, the knowledge and the wisdom that You LORD have bless them with all Your creation Praise GOD …..Dr Jones thank you. You actually help me and my family with the use of the grapes leaf. It actually works for me and my family….GOD Bless 😊
love this! wish you could go into more detail about your trellis system for hops. VERY useful and new info for those of us interested in growing hops. Please, please!!
I love it! The garden. His infectious laughter. The wealth of info. Thank you.
Infectious laughter is about the only thing you couldn't treat with Carolyn's wonderful little medicinal paradise.

Glorify Undefinable, The Answerer or The Stabilizer of Matter
Controllers of Body, By Eternal Existence Rely to Undefinable alone, be Serene and judge by how Matter executes! The Identity can exist in every possibility!
Ask guidance and things you can't get to The Answerer, THAT allowed you into this body, THAT gave truth for clean-minded in Subconscious, and avoid numbness!
And use wonders Lord of Existence made from Earth, and don't take what is unknown until you will understand it! Shape your own makings, and you will be supported!
Blessed is Controller of Man filled with subtle joy, united with Intuition! That relies to Causer of Origins alone, That chooses by the best, That hears brainwaves!
The life can be mastered, for rules were made simple to Observant! Don't be fearful of destiny, because we're parts of possibilities, that have freewill with Serenity!
By wonders of fat-stores usage, that cleans everything inside itself! forbid anti-nutrient, PUFA, synthetic high food - allow wheatgrass, fruit seeds and ferment food!
Trial is what evil awaited and good missed! Universe remains to its original form, and don't change adaptable bodies in ignorance!
Challenging are the days of Illusion and a sad fate to anyone that didn't seek independence, nothing is miracle-free, such is Cause!
Great are the days of Responsibility that nourish the Soul! We have always existed! And a lesson of hope, that Pure will enjoy!
The world is created for Observer's favor! Whole Multiverse is in perfection for Purpose! As World ends, it will return! Current areas are special by The Stabilizer!
QUESTION for clarification please -- is it all mint or only the lemon balm that kills the herpes virus. I've listened 3 times and can't determine which. Thank you for answering my question 🥰 and
I’m just reading this but I have a stroke and need the CC words. Could you please send this so I can’t HEAR the words that I need to SEE this information please. Thank you!
Great information and a lovely peek at your beautiful healing garden. Love this!
I've taken valerian root for when I get MSG poisoning. It worked! It must do something to glutamate which makes people relax.
How to use holly hocks marshmallows ? I haven't e chronic bladder infection what part? Which ?tincture?
Loved this quick overview of all the different plants. Thank you both
Watched on Doc Jones Channel, but forgot to like and watch on yours! Great stuff here, I watch Doc Jones too! Yes, please make some videos of you making your medicines from weeds! I'd like to learn more than I do already and what your 5 best are (at least) and how you use them. Blessings 🥰
I wonder if Elecampane would grow in S AL? I love to grow herbs and flowers but I seriously get discouraged because it seems everything gets fungal issues because of our humidity! Black eye Susans and my shasta daisies both attacked with fungal issues Even my sunflower leaves attacked with it! Anyone know of organic natural solution to keep the fungus off my flowers?
How many of each plant is recommended to plant? I have the space and I have already started a bunch of them indoors but I don’t know what’s enough. Thanks and the video is awesome
Hello new friend here! Thank you for sharing your garden with me. I just love how it’s all coming 🫑🍅🪴👍together and growing so nicely! I love to garden and I also make garden videos. I wrapping up my 3rd year gardening. I’m sad it’s coming to an end. I have so much to still learn. My plans for my off season is to learn as much as I can about gardening and making videos. I’d love it if we could learn more from each other!
I’m definitely taking notes 🎉 Pammie from Chicago Illinois
What a beautiful garden. Love what it holds. Question, everyone says its a small space, what is your small space. How many feet by how many feet is it exactly, so I can compare your small space to my small yard.
I enjoy your videos on how to. However, please have someone else write your headlines. They are terrible. This one for instance, indicates that you are not secure in what you have done and that Doc Jones will be judgemental instead of supportive. TRUTH: I have not watched some of your videos because of the headlines.
NOTHING in this world is a catastrophe unless you label it that -- a learning experience maybe, but not a catastrophe. Nature has a way of balancing out some of our mistakes or weather attacks.
Okay Yellowstone volcano going off would be a catastrophe. But, not your cottage garden if it is what you grew and wanted.
hollyhock using which parts for spider/snake bites? As a poultice? A tincture for ingesting? tincture of roots or leaves and flowers?
What is your climate like? Your growing zone? I live in Texas where some of those wouldn’t do well in extreme 95+ degrees every day in the summer.
I have come back to take more notes to plan my cottage garden... it's seed ordering time!
I wish I could grow all of them. SE Arkansas, a lot won’t grow because of heat and drought.
I appreciate this video SOOO much. Praise the Lord Jesus, y'all are such a blessing to us homestead newbies!!!
Learning about the amazing power of medicinal plants is an amazing testimony builder of how much the Lord loves us. He even made the weeds, briars and brambles a blessing if we're willing to look closely at them and see His loving, healing signature.
Doc Jones
Concerning hollyhock/marsh/mallow and gangrene: so it would also be good for frostbite?
