Oh WOW! I wish I heard about this 20+ years ago! My dad had colitis passed away from that. If it wasn’t for him getting sick we would have never thought of gardening and vitamins etc. So good actually came out of his sickness. Blessings to your recovery ❤️ that’s so wonderful!🥰
Swear this is true... We've lived in the same home in the SW Ozarks in Missouri for close to 30 years and just a few days ago a I noticed the little purple flowers on a plant I've ignored for all that time and decided to pluck one to see if I could ID it. It didn't take long to to that so I started watching videos about it. After learning about I went back out there to see how much is growing, and it's a lot, so I picked a few and rinsed them off and ate the top of one. Didn't take long for me to feel it, and it made me feel very good. Doesn't taste bad either. Has a bit of a peppery taste when it's freshly picked and not much of anything when I dried it out. So I picked some more that evening I showed some to my wife and we both ate some, I ate two and she ate one. Awhile later, maybe 30 minutes, I asked her if she could feel it and she said she could too. Said the same thing, "It makes you feel really good". When you read up on it has an amazingly long history. Kinda had to kick myself for ignoring it so long :D
Oh my goodness I never even thought to eat it raw! It's amazing how quickly you could feel the effects of it. Man I wish we had some growing on our property!!
Thank you for commenting! I've also noticed a good feeling when I eat the plant. My wife cooked up some of the young greens and it was really strong and noticeable. The tea is more subtle, I don't feel it like when I eat the greens. Thanks for watching the video!
I live in southwest Arkansas and have many “weeds” that grow on my property. I have these growing almost everywhere on the property. A lot is growing on my lawn, almost covering a large area. I decided not to cut them because I felt like it was an herb and wanted it to reseed itself. I’m so glad I didn’t cut them. After watching this video and reading your comment I will definitely be going out and trying it! That’s so much for sharing!,
Thank you, God has put every healing plant, on this earth. to heal the human, body it's people like you that help to put this information out there. thanks
I live in the North Eastern USA and have never seen this plant . Especially on my lawn !I also looked it up in my extensive library of herbs and flowering plants. Only one book had it. It was called Heal-all. In the National Audobon Society Field Guide to North American Wild Flowers. A really good Guide with excellent pictures too !
I'm in Ontario, and I have an organic lawn, i guess. I haven't put anything on it in 45 years, I think everything that was here when the land was cleared, and everything that was introduced that lasted is still here, dandelions, plantain, 2 types, creeping charley ,yarrow, dandelions, catnip, pineapple weed in the sidewalk and I just noticed self heal this year. I heard about it years ago and thought "good luck finding that stuff." but the plant in the lawn looks different, it usually only has one or two layers of the flower because it gets cut so often, and the leaves and stems are hidden in the grass. I had oesophageal cancer last year, and the last thing to come out after the operation was the feeding tube. It healed, and opened up. got a bit infected, and I was prescribed an antibiotic salve. It healed again, but opened up 2 weeks later so back i go. This went on for months, I guess I'd roll over or stretch or something in my sleep and open it. Anyway, it opened again right when I found I had self heal in my lawn. I take self heal just by chewing on the flowers. I think it's cool to browse your lawn, I do the same with the dandelions, plantain, creeping charley, yarrow catnip, and pineapple weed. Then I thought, maybe it would help my feeding tube wound. So I chewed up some nice clean self heal blossoms and put it on my wound, it was almost like a second bloody bellybutton at this point, so I level the area out with chewed up self heal at bedtime and bandaged it over. I took a peek at it in the morning and just covered it again till late afternoon then took the bandage off. It was almost dry, and when the self heal dropped away by itself later on it seemed like the scar tissue had partially filled the divot. It's still a low spot but about half as deep as it was and still holding after 2 months, I've been shovelling and carrying 5 gallon buckets of water and carrying and climbing extension ladders and riding bikes and using chainsaws. I can't recommend this plant enough. I even told my ex wife about it, she's got irritable bowel, or maybe colitis, and she says it's helped. I've seen it in lawns in parks, you have to look in areas not sprayed. If worse comes to worst, I've seen it for sale in Chinese grocery stores for $2.99 a bag. Prunella they call it. It's dried and brown like tea but it's still got the shape of the flower, and they're 10 times the length of the ones in my bag. Amazon's got it too but they want $34.00 for half a pound, this was less than half that.
Prunella is my favorite ! I found it two years ago and have been propagating it. The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked and it makes a lovely tea. I’m so grateful for this herb! Nice description. Thank you for teaching about the wild things.
Here in Eastern Massachusetts, Prunella is prostrate and grows low in many lawns. As a landscape professional with insulin issues, this plant is amazing. I eat the flowers fresh in June and July. They give the healing I need. Seriously, from being tired to having all the energy I need like in my youth. Truly, between heal-all and dandelion blossoms. I can complete the horticultural work I do.
I'm in Massachusetts too and I don't think I've ever noticed the plant. So it grows low and does it have the same kind of flower and leaf? I would imagine the leaves are much smaller than the one in the video. Does it look like the plant that often grows in lawns called ajuga? (Not sure if I spelled that correctly) I would love to get my hands on it.
@@deniseward002 It depends entirely on the soil. In lawns it is prostrate, not reaching more than 3 or 4 inches. The leaves have a rather distinctive shape. they look the same as she shows but smaller, as you said. When it blooms next month it will be easier to spot. The flower head is unique. Oddly, the plant doesn't taste like much. A bit dry and maybe a slight of an oil texture. In rich soil, it will grow up to about 10 or 12 inches.
Many thanks for your thoughtful reply. I have been doing more searching on it and looked it up on Practical Self Reliance which is one of the best references for New England. They should be flowering soon and I'll be looking out for them. I hope they can help me with the fibromyalgia I recently developed. Thanks again for your reply!
@@davidbrogan606 Thank you for those good intentions. I tend to think we bring things on ourselves. I know it's a bit hard to imagine because sometimes bad things happen to us, but I think the way we see the world is distorted and we are the creators ourselves, though we don't yet know how to work it.
Thanks for taking out the music after the intro. it was much too loud and much too busy for me. I simply skipped over that part until it stopped! otherwise I would have just moved on to another video. (i.e. drop the noise!)
Dude, thanks for the in depth information. I get the attention grabbing music in the intro. But I am of the camp no music during talking. Like the latter part of the video. I learned a ton. And I was just IDing this plant at one of my local hiking areas yesterday. Perfect timing!
My husband brought me a flowering stem with roots last spring. We didn't know what it was, but my id app quickly informed me. I planted it in a big container just so I would be sure to have it later. Would you believe that single plant spread to fill the entire pot? My dehydrator is full and I can't wait to make a tincture and infuse some oil for a salve! I plan to send some to my brother who has always suffered from canker sores in the mouth. I would think swishing with tincture in a bit of water would make a great mouthwash routine!
I've lived in Florida my entire life. I've seen many of the plants in your videos growing as weeds in my own backyard. I appreciate your videos explaining all the benefits of these plants. So interesting! I've always had a soft spot for weeds anyways. Thanks for your hard work putting these together.
Cool riffs dude ,😎just a thought ....🤔You always as a norm when blending in music on a narrated video you want your music track 🎼🎶in your background.You don't want your vocal competing for dominance . Listeners will become discouraged trying to hear your voice clearly.🗣️ Thank you very much for your video on natural meds ! 👍
I found a clump of that growing next to the ditch in front of my house and transplanted it into my herb garden to renaturalize it. It has spread into my wildflower lawn. I haven't used it yet, but recognized it as a relative of hyssop and mint.
Idont recall ever noticing Self Heal until about six years ago. It is very cute/pretty and grows freely in a particular area of my yard. It gets some over water from a boat converted to a flowerbed, and tolerates whatever the environment sends its way.
My Mom used to come to Leesburg Al and see Tommie Bass, I wish that I would have came and learned from him also. Tommie taught Darryl Patton and I now have Tommie's Book. I have been hunting someone from the Northern part of Alabama to learn from and I found you, which you are learning from Darryl. I would like to purchase a book from Darryl and you also, if you both have one with pictures. I found self heal last year on my land and I quickly found out what it is. Thank you so much for all of your information and God Bless 🙌
Thank you Matthew. I just discovered Self Heal in my garden this year because my dog was eating it vigorously! I identfied it using a plant app then looked it up and started harvesting it😊
By the way, the music was fine (in my opinion). It's not like you had dubstep blaring in the background through the entire video 😅 to each their own. We all have different opinions... Especially when it comes to music!
That self heal is HUGE!! Here in the PNW the plants are small, low to the ground, and few and far between. My goal is to grow some in the garden and see if I can't get more to create tinctures and salves as well as tea all year round. Thanks!
On multiple occasions I have used this for bee or yellow jacket stings. Chew up a couple of leaves & then place them on the sting underneath a bandage. It seems to ease the pain fairly quickly.
@LegacyWildernessAcademy I air dried mine (not in the back of my car like my grandmother) and then placed in the dehydrator due to the humidity. I retain green. You mentioned that it should be brown - have ou tried it in other ways?
Oh my gosh! I had no idea. I always admired the flower of this plant and also the cone when it’s dried up in the sun. I’ve picked them and never knew I had something that had tremendous value. Thank you for the tutorial.
Enjoyed your video. Here in Scotland it grows profusely, I thought it some kind of wild orchid on first spotting it. Self heal ~ the perfect name for this healing purple flower, never grows so tall as yours. Great for tea. 😻🏴
Just came across your channel and I have a request, if I may. I'm an older individual and my hearing isn't what it once was; if you could cut the volume on the music by 50-75% (or eliminate it) it would be MUCH easier for those of us with old ears to make out what is being said. Thank you!
I discovered the Self-Heal plant in my yard 3 years ago. When I realized it was good for respiratory ailments, I made a tincture. It has helped me drain, relieved the headache or earache--whatever is happening--and taken down the inflammation. I live in Ohio, dubbed the "sinus valley." It’s wonderful stuff, and almost the only thing I need! I almost didn’t see it because it was creeping across our lawn. What drew my attention was the beautiful flower.
@@stacystepp7914 As soon as I feel the first symptom, I take one dropper. That usually does it, unless I put it off too long. If I'm actually sick, I take 1 or 2 droppers 3X a day.
Wow very informative. I picked some and added it to my salve due to its antibiotic property. Comfrey, Plantain, and now self heal. But I have arthritis. It wont be in season for another year. I missed my window>
Thank you for showing how to prepare the plants. Appreciate your videos! Here in the Smokies, self-heal has only just begun blooming (mid-July). IIt'll bloom through August, and gets the brown heads in September.
I might add, the notice of symmetry is particularly interesting since this would indicate it's ability to source and process Zinc imo which is a critical nutrient for immune system response..have you or anyone else ever performed a SAP analysis to understand better the mineral profile that might indicate the reason its so beneficial for human or livestock health??
Yes, in a paper bag. If you have ever left a carrot with the tops on, or some other leafy vegetables in the refrigerator for a while you would have noticed that it dries out. It is a practice of some people that live in very humid areas.
Both creative intro and very informative plant identification I really wish I could find it in our area we are in the Savannah Ga area … thanking you so much for these videos and sharing your knowledge… stay blessed
Surprisingly, I just found this yesterday in a patch I left unmoved for a year in South East Missouri! I am super happy to stumble upon your informative video today. (p.s. I liked your intro🩷)
I forget the name of that "music" at the beginning, but it is created entirely by a human's mouth, breath, et tongue movement. It's quite amazing to observe someone creating this "music" w only their mouth and a microphone.....👋🏻👵🏼
Thank you for this great video! Saw lots of this growing at our hunting property last weekend. I will be harvesting some. The intro was fine. Ignore negativity...🥰
Fun shortcut: you can use a lighter to singe the hairs or needles off plants. It’s especially a popular technique to use on cactuses that are hairy and/or have small needles. Edit to add: loved your video and advice on the mimosa. I had no clue mimosa had a strong medicinal property for depression. In South Georgia we have a sh!t ton where I live.
I have not seen self-heel, but I have seen chicken, mullen yellow dock, plantain, and Passionflower. I want to find an identity and learn how to harvest many other medicinal herbs.
I really appreciate you you're showing us what the plant looks like Underground .thank you.... thank you so much for your videos I've been searching medicinal plants and foraging in the south. I think I found it I really appreciate it thank you so much I would like to order the books itself how to.❤❤❤❤
Ugh. I’ve been hunting for this plant all summer. I’ve harvested Oregon grape, old man’s beard (usnea) wild spinach, all clovers, mullein, yarrow, arnica, 😂so much more. I’ll never go back to thinking as I was programmed. This is living and not fancy slavery. 🌻
Thank you for sharing such amazing knowledge and I totally appreciate the music!! I groove EDM in the woods while living and learning everyday and NATURE loves it!!! Stay sound healers🎶🫶🏼🐸🪶🌿
can we buy seeds for this somewhere ? I would love to grow this in my herb garden. I have shingles and fibromyalgia. This would be amazing if it could help me. Please let me know. I just subscribed today and am happy I found you ! Thanks so much for the great video. I look forward to watching all your videos. God bless you, Matthew Hunter !!
I also have it growing on my section, have dug it up repotted so I know where it is it's June in New Zealand has not flowered yet cannot find it on my lawn at this time only In the pot 🍲.
Okay youreally got my attention when you mentioned hemorrhoids. Just what exactly do I do to help with them? Drink? Apply? Tincture?...? I could really use this information! Thanks!
Self heal tea controlled, and then eventually completely healed my ulcerative colitis!
Thanks for sharing! I always love hearing first hand reports!
Oh WOW! I wish I heard about this 20+ years ago! My dad had colitis passed away from that. If it wasn’t for him getting sick we would have never thought of gardening and vitamins etc. So good actually came out of his sickness. Blessings to your recovery ❤️ that’s so wonderful!🥰

90% of the so-called weeds were brought here because they are edible and/or medicinal. So sad that most have lost track of that!
Could you please consider collection and selling/sharing seeds with everyone that is interested?????
I would love some.

Cannabis is the best stress reliever for these stressful End Times, but not if you live in Texas, apparently Texas is not part of the United States.

Yes and I check if my bunnies can benefit bc some get in fights😢
Captions saved the lesson.
Here in montana it grows up to 9000 ft. Blooms in july throughout the summer
That’s one tall plant! Lol 😆
Grows everywhere around me BUT I've never seen plants as big as the ones you show
They do best in boggy, wet loamy soil.
Thank you so much for the educational instruction that we all need in this time of uncertainty.

I I buy this tea at my local Asian shop with chamomile they mix it with chamomile Self heal and chamomile tea you will find at Asian shop.
I'm bizarre. Love the music. Like medical plants, it takes all kinds.😊
Thanks for taking time out of your day to educate us on this wonderful plant and the many others you show us, much appreciated.
I am going to put this in our smoothie every day

It has helped me drain, relieved the headache or earache--whatever is happening--and taken down the inflammation. I live in Ohio, dubbed the "sinus valley." It’s wonderful stuff, and almost the only thing I need! I almost didn’t see it because it was creeping across our lawn. What drew my attention was the beautiful flower.
How often and how much are you taking when you're sick with something?
@@stacystepp7914 As soon as I feel the first symptom, I take one dropper. That usually does it, unless I put it off too long. If I'm actually sick, I take 1 or 2 droppers 3X a day.
What is the plant called?
@@Jules-740
Prunella vulgaris
AKA self heal or heal all:)
@@stacystepp7914 Thank you very much! I was thinking it was the plant on the video but you can never be too sure! 👍
Amazing...God created everything for us. even our medicine to heal us. Glory to GOD in the Highest...
Excellent video. I will be on the lookout for this plant in my yard.
Much Gratitude for this information video! 😊
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
I would consider using non bleached coffee filters when you’re filtering your teas.
really loving your channel! keep it up!!❤
Thank you so much!
Wow very informative. I picked some and added it to my salve due to its antibiotic property. Comfrey, Plantain, and now self heal.
But I have arthritis. It wont be in season for another year. I missed my window>
Thank you for showing how to prepare the plants. Appreciate your videos! Here in the Smokies, self-heal has only just begun blooming (mid-July). IIt'll bloom through August, and gets the brown heads in September.
I might add, the notice of symmetry is particularly interesting since this would indicate it's ability to source and process Zinc imo which is a critical nutrient for immune system response..have you or anyone else ever performed a SAP analysis to understand better the mineral profile that might indicate the reason its so beneficial for human or livestock health??
Lower the music in the intro or remove it all together. The word volume needs to be higher. Love your channel, it's extremely informative ! Good job.
Thanks so much for all this information!
Cute video, I liked it!💖
I cool dry mine in a paper bag, in the refrigerator for a few weeks to maintain the essential oils.
What?! I've never heard of that!! So that's all you do? Just put it in the fridge and it totally dries out?
Yes, in a paper bag. If you have ever left a carrot with the tops on, or some other leafy vegetables in the refrigerator for a while you would have noticed that it dries out. It is a practice of some people that live in very humid areas.

Thanks so much for explaining that!
@@stacystepp7914 Just leave some air room between the leaves, fluff & turn them every couple of days.
Both creative intro and very informative plant identification I really wish I could find it in our area we are in the Savannah Ga area … thanking you so much for these videos and sharing your knowledge… stay blessed
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for this video! I'm going to be alert to see Self-Heal when I'm outside from now on.
Surprisingly, I just found this yesterday in a patch I left unmoved for a year in South East Missouri! I am super happy to stumble upon your informative video today. (p.s. I liked your intro🩷)
I have many Just growing now. Just starting. So happy
Good men, thank you.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
OH Prunella - I had to view the comments to even know what plant you mentioned due to the loud music.
Ordering some seed today !
A new sub! I'm loving your channel. Living here in the SE US, I am very familiar with alot of these plants but didn't know their benefits. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Thank you very much. ❤😊
Love the information. You're awesome. I agree the intro music was a little distracting. Glad it didn't last the whole video.💚💚💚
Sir, i much prefer listening and concentrating on your peaceful, healing voice. Ok?
I forget the name of that "music" at the beginning, but it is created entirely by a human's mouth, breath, et tongue movement. It's quite amazing to observe someone creating this "music" w only their mouth and a microphone.....👋🏻👵🏼
Just fast forward a few seconds if you don't like the music. 😀
You are such an intelligent fella. Thank you for this valuable information. God bless you!
Ive never heard of Self-Heal plants!
Great video....prunella grows in my lawn..yaay 😊
Thank you for this great video! Saw lots of this growing at our hunting property last weekend. I will be harvesting some. The intro was fine. Ignore negativity...🥰
Totally agree!
You call it negativity, others call it constructive criticism. Ppl are too soft and sensitive these days
It's funny, you want him to ignore others' feedback but not yours.
Great video!
Fun shortcut: you can use a lighter to singe the hairs or needles off plants. It’s especially a popular technique to use on cactuses that are hairy and/or have small needles.
Edit to add: loved your video and advice on the mimosa. I had no clue mimosa had a strong medicinal property for depression. In South Georgia we have a sh!t ton where I live.
I have not seen self-heel, but I have seen chicken, mullen yellow dock, plantain, and Passionflower. I want to find an identity and learn how to harvest many other medicinal herbs.
Man this video was dope including the music idk what ppl are talking about. Keep spreading the knowledge bro
I thought so too lol, thanks for watching!
I like the music and drone show. Self heal . I will look for some , I’m in Hannibal just north of you. Good info
I guess I won't find it in South Texas? 😟 Too bad. Maybe I can order it online. 💖
Your videos are great man!
I’m in Savannah, GA.
Love the music!
“Alchemy” is good 😎👍 haha.
Wish I could head what you are saying.
I really appreciate you you're showing us what the plant looks like Underground .thank you.... thank you so much for your videos I've been searching medicinal plants and foraging in the south. I think I found it I really appreciate it thank you so much I would like to order the books itself how to.❤❤❤❤
I’m do wild gardening in Minnesota. I have this plant here too. Not as tall as you have. Thanks for info.
Ugh. I’ve been hunting for this plant all summer. I’ve harvested Oregon grape, old man’s beard (usnea) wild spinach, all clovers, mullein, yarrow, arnica, 😂so much more. I’ll never go back to thinking as I was programmed. This is living and not fancy slavery. 🌻
Thank you for sharing such amazing knowledge and I totally appreciate the music!! I groove EDM in the woods while living and learning everyday and NATURE loves it!!! Stay sound healers🎶🫶🏼🐸🪶🌿
Horrible noise that everyone is calling music...way too loud!
I would love to give this comment a million likes‼️
Weirdo
I agree! Modern 'music' sucks
Thanks for the warning! It's not music
Naw, y'all need to remember that progression is inevitable, and music will only become more complex, whether you appreciate that new sound or not😮
can we buy seeds for this somewhere ? I would love to grow this in my herb garden. I have shingles and fibromyalgia. This would be amazing if it could help me. Please let me know. I just subscribed today and am happy I found you ! Thanks so much for the great video. I look forward to watching all your videos. God bless you, Matthew Hunter !!
Yes! You can find the seeds online when you search "self heal" or "prunella vulgaris seeds". Thanks so much for watching!
Don't use SeedNerds. Big rip off
Very cool!
Nailed it.
BTW I’m in the pacific NW. grew up in Montana and I’ve seen it in my region.
Next time cut the music. Very unnecessary.
I also have it growing on my section, have dug it up repotted so I know where it is it's June in New Zealand has not flowered yet cannot find it on my lawn at this time only In the pot 🍲.
I wish it would get rid of chronic pain that I have in my neck, shoulders & spine
Okay youreally got my attention when you mentioned hemorrhoids.
Just what exactly do I do to help with them? Drink? Apply? Tincture?...?
I could really use this information! Thanks!
Apply a salve directly or pour the tea into a bath. Thanks for watching!
@@LegacyWildernessAcademy Thanks so much! Woohoo!
