    What I love about this guy is that he gets right to the point with his explanation and story----no 'pussyfooting around' for 10 minutes saying that he's going to tell us something. Plus he tells us what the herb can do AND shows us what it looks like and doesn't charge us $50 dollars in the end for a bottle of it!

    The Ojibiwe people of the mid-west have referred to it as "the great puller outer" because if you make a poultice with it and apply it overnight, it draws out infection and foreign objects. This little plant is part of the mint family and all mints are safe for consumption.

      Here's another goody about onions: While slicing bread at a restaurant I worked at, I cut my finger pretty badly and couldn't get it to stop bleeding. Another waitress I worked with used the filmy skin from an onion as a bandage on my finger and it totally stopped the bleeding.
      When I got to the emergency room, the E.R. nurse asked where I got the "butterfly bandage" from, I told her it was an onion skin and she was amazed. Turns out not only did it work to stop the bleeding, but it also kept it from getting infected.

    I've crushed fresh leaves and jammed them directly into open wounds along with plantain leaves. Many reports (on myself especially) where stitches would be required but if you quickly gather fresh leaves, pound them until they turn dark green then apply directly into wound, self-heal will kill bad bacteria and germs. Apply gauze and tape. After a couple days, the wound may start to feel itchy. Remove the bandages, apply a fresh batch of leaves then wrap. After one week (especially with bad burns) you will be impressed! No infection, skin is growing healthy. It will have a blackened look around the wound, do not panic, it is the leaves which darken to near black leaving a tint on your skin. It washes off but do not use soap, alcohol or anything or it won't heal without a scar. We've used these leaves for decades on nearly every horrible wound you can imagine and never is there a scar or infection. I live in the Pacific NW and learned this from the Native Americans here 3 decades ago and I swear by self-heal and plantain for their antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-infection properties.

    It may be no more than a coincidence, but I was just outside walking through a huge area where this grows on my property and saying to my dogs (I always have interesting conversations with my dogs!) that it is too bad that a plant so abundant and called Heal-all (that is the common name in my area) should be so lacking in medicinal properties. I actually read not long ago that the research was rather disappointing, but I can never help wondering why plants get the names and reputations they do unless there is at least something to it. I also can't help wondering if many pharmaceutical companies (who often sponsor such research) may have ulterior motives for not wanting people to heal themselves naturally. At any rate, I have included it in my wild foraging for many years and will now, happily add it to my medicine cabinet as well. Thanks for the video--informative, and fun to watch as usual!

Why would a plant want to succeed in that system... our green cousins have seen what industry does to plants - chemical monoculture handled by machines never meet a living human or insect! Plant Hell. Of course the research will be disappointing....

      can I suggest that you add a good amount of oil out of vitamin E capsules? I used to suffer from horrible sunburns every summer. Since it is a bit sticky I used to add it to skin cream to help spread it on my skin, but cocoa butter and your other ingredients would work even better. My sunburn pain would last for days and take forever to heal. Then there was the peeling. when I use it on sunburn (or any kind of burns. I used to work with molten glass and got bad burns from it) by the next day my sunburn pain would be gone. and very minimal peeling. ( I can't find the scars from the bad burns I got from the molten glass, or from the blowtorch either)
      I learned about vitamin E being used on burns from a report I read about a study done at a Canadian hospital on their burn patients. I didn't believe it until I started working with molten glass and got desperate. it works!

As such, I got lazy this past winter, and quit closing the run doors at night (some of which are full human height) because it just got too damn cold (-25) for me to be able to go outside... This is THE FIRST winter that I never had a single sniffle or bubbly eye out of ANY of my chickens, so this experience tells me that "disease" in chickens is more closely tied with ventilation/freedom to roam (or lack thereof) than it is with any virus or bacterium.

Our skin and eyes is what absorbs Vitamin D and we’ve been programmed to be afraid of direct contact with sunlight 😤. Creation is for our benefit and it replenishes itself continually.
