I love that you shared how passion flower got its name. As a Christian, I think sometimes herbalism gets lumped in with neo-pagan beliefs and people forget that many early Christians were herbalists.
I have a great idea that I hope you consider. What about offering your tincture and tea making classes online as well? You could film it while you’re doing the class and maybe offer a kit that they could buy in advance or a list of items they could buy. Then, people could make the tea or tinctures from home. I’m not one to fly or travel great distances, but it sounds like a great learning and teaching experience for all. I think you could offer them either live or on demand for a fee.
@TheHoneystead oh man I would so love to learn some so if you offer it. Sign me up right now my son had break thru seizure and suffering great anxiety I would so love to be able to meet u all but since this happened online would be offered as well.
New to the channel love it. I sleep like a rick. But my husband Tom says I snore and keep him up. Lol Thanks for all your information. Love natural healing. I take no meds. Only natural is the way to go.
I happen to be going hard with lemon balm for my mom’s shingles right now. Internally as a tea and externally on her shingles. I brewed a fresh infusion really strongly. Use cotton balls to apply to the rash. She is experiencing a dramatic difference. No other thing including meds have helped. Lemon balm is antiviral and works amazing for shingles, cold sores, etc. lovely video!!!!
Ladies, wanted share with you how much your openness has touched my heart. I’ve taught “wild walks” for many years now, and have hit highs and lows. We went thru a period of family illness and I stopped. When our Carrie finally passed, I began to think of starting up again. Yet I was afraid. You video about fear inspired me to begin again. The response was wonderful! So many folks said how they’d missed doing them…like you said in this one… it’s about sharing Faith and love of the natural world. Thank you dear ones! 💕🌸
My 6 year old has anxiety especially when it comes to school. So i make him lemon balm syrup and suckers to help him. 😁 Kaylee!! I've done them with honey, it's more like a ferment and works well. 😉 Good luck. ❤
Would like to know how you do this my son has epilepsy and struggles greatly after a break thru seizure and hates take so many meds and what way he wouldn't know the sucker form he wouldn't think mom was trying give him some old leaf or that sugar stuff I put on honey. Lol that was sugar stuff that I gave was firecider ...now every time he asks when give honey u didnt mix it with awful tasting stuff did u....a sucker would better way
You have encouraged me to forage 😊 I was amazed at the abundance of useable plants we found just in our back yard! From catnip to plantain and wild lettuce! The kids had so much fun examining the plants and looking them up to identify. They want to go for a walk now to see what else we can find. Thank you for your encouragement and your laid back attitude it really helps to have fun with it!
U have made almost the same tincture combination a week ago. Only I have added St Johns wort. (hope my spell is correct). I have been using it from time to time and very happy with result. Huge insomniac since the beginnig of menopause and peri menopause. It has been a Nightmare. Hope this helps more people like me.
I have passion flower growing wild here in SC, I was so excited to know it has medicinal properties, I’ve been messing with herbs for years, these past few years started growing my own.
Dearest Kaylee, when you have a small wound like you showed, saliva is a very natural wound healing agent. It is not without reason that animals immediately lick a wound. Mother nature has helped us a lot on our way.
I'm always cutting myself accidentally and yarrow has been my go to for first aid for years. Works wonders, even for the female reproductive system and periods! Love me some Yarrow! 💕
Very cool! I have a ton of lemon balm (for a container gardener) and I have been wanting to make my own lemon balm tincture. Do you have a link to the video that shows the rest of the process? 😀
Great video as usual. I would imagine moonshine was used quite a bit back in the day. ;). The ancestors knew a lot more about medicine than we do now. 👍
Do you know any herbalists that reside in Georgia? I would love to find someone locally. I can't travel very far, my legs and back do not allow it. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information. ♥
We have a dog that broke his nail off and it started to bleed. I ran to get my dried yarrow and moistened it and put it on his nail bed and the bleeding stopped immediately! I was amazed! I have lemon balm growing in a pot and I'm going to go make a tincture with it now because you inspired me! Thanks! Love your videos!
Thanks to you, I ordered passion flower seeds and planted them and am just waiting for them to bloom. I did harvest a few leaves and it helped my anxiety! Thank you! It’s such a beautiful vining plant. Going to plant way more next spring 🥰
I have plenteous bulbous buttercup. According to my research, that is also really good for shingles. I'm currently brewing a tincture and oil specifically for that.
Thank you for the great information. I am currently about half way through the sit & shake process of my ginger and feverfew tinctures. First attempt at ever making a tincture, so I need to get some more apple cider vinegar - I misjudged how much my herbs would soak up the liquid (using dried herbs). Super excited to start using them for my migraines and arthritic pain.
Want to learn so much more about herbs mainly to help the heath struggles we face in out home. My son has epilepsy from awful rare genetic mutation. And we thougbt we had his seizure under control until last monday. Bless his hear he has alot that goes against him but he blessed so many ways to!! Want to kearn all i can and loce ur herbal teas you had last year.
I use my immersion blender also. It is super simple and easier to clean than a full size blender. And if you have multiple heads for it you can easily go between your tinctures with out contamination.
Thank you so much for this video, you are such an Amazing teacher.❤ I'm so sorry you stabbed your hand, ouch😢 but that is pretty sweet how yarrow works with cuts😊
Love your channel and information that you provide. Looking to do a temperature for rosemary and another one for oregano. With alcohol. Can I ask what the ratio is and what are the benefits and how to use ? From Australia 🇦🇺
This is awesome to learn how to tincture the passionflower. I don't have any fresh around here... can you use dried herbs? What ratio would that be? Thank you again!!!!
Jess @ Roots & Refuge Farm reccomended your channel today just as i was looking for some herbal advise. 👍 I love lemon balm and was looking for info on preparing it properly for preservation. What good timing! Thank you for the great lesson. One question, in washing the passion flower, doesnt that wash off the pollen too? I dont think I ever thought of washing off rhe flower.
Hi! I am really enjoying your channel. I found you a few weeks ago. As a "retired" nutritionist and believer in herbal medicine, I've been re-excited to pay closer attention to what medicinal herbs I do have growing (quite a few)--and get them processed. A question for you: when you give your ratios is this by volume or weight? For example 1:4, would that be one cup of herb to four parts vodka/glycerin? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for this great video! When you make an oil infused with fresh herbs and leave it covered with cheese cloth rather than sealing it, what do you do then since you really can’t “shake it” each day? Do you just let it be? Do you open it and stir it up each day? Thank you for your great content.
TH-cam is starting to ban health related videos way more than they were. Will you be able to create another non restrictive place for your videos if need be. You have great content!
When you say you strain the passion flower after 30 days, do you strain out the leaves and flower and the tincture itself is what is absorbed in the vodka? How much should you sip? thank you for your informative videos.
What about using vegetable glycerin instead of oil to make tinctures for salves etc? I have cucumber in vg in my fridge and thought of doing same with comfrey and jewelweed keeping it cold til I add to topical recipes that have natural preservatives in them.
I have both of these in my garden can't wait to try it . Can you use the immersion blender with any of the tinctures? I started one with golden rod flowers but completely forgot to chop them up first.
Thank you my son came back from Iraq with ptsd. I’m trying to find things he could take when he can’t get his meds from the V.A. which has happened twice. He had to be hospitalized for three days because of the gap in his meds. I would like to be able to find a way to replace his meds altogether. I’m not sure if that is possible or not but I would like to try.
I watched a video you did where you used a tray in your freeze dryer that looked like ice cube tray. Where did you get that? I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks ahead of time.
I love your videos. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I wished I had all this information years ago. Your never too old to learn though.. This is my third year with planting Lemon Balm, but my first year to finally harvest it. I have been drying it. I have never made a tenture but it is on my list. I have made a couple different types of salve this year. This is even my first year to really forage and I have several things I have dried out. I want to learn more but with working full time, it is hard to get into a class. I know online courses would be the best option. I love essential oils. I know I do not grow enough to invest in an essential oil press but I have been looking at them. That would be awesome if you did that.
I have been messing around with honey….. the dry vs fresh ratio is where I struggle the most. Do you have Any tips or tricks you have discovered using honey as far as that dry to fresh ratio goes???
I need to grow more lemon balm and I need to start growing Passion flowers again! Do your eat the fruit? I couldn’t get past the gooey stuff…..it smells like fruit punch or Juicy Fruit gum. I don’t like slimy stuff…..can’t eat okra if it isn’t fried! I’d love to try the mix of the two tinctures! I have trouble sleeping and would give your recipe a try! Thank you for all you teach us!!! ❤❤❤
Hi you have really enlighten me on the herbs. I had a question about making the salves, can you make them with just essential oils and coconut oil as the carrier and beeswax?
Are critters like rabbits or gophers an issue in your medicinal garden? I really want to create something like this at my home in SoCal but those are my two biggest non-bug nemeses!
Could you look into and then share in a video how someone who has hypothyroidism and cannot use lemon balm could possibly use it? Hypothyroidism and use of lemon balm somehow creates even greater imbalance chemically and it makes me severely anxious and jittery. But before the jitters and anxiety settle in there's an hour of extreme peace and calm from the lovely plant. No herb I've found since has such a profound calming/joyful effect and I desperately want to use it but cannot put myself through that awful after effect of severe nervous problems. Please share and help me out here lovely honeysteader!!!!
A friend uses Cherry Brandy instead of Vodka when making Lemon Balm tincture- it certainly taste better than vodka but are there disadvantages I should be considering when using Cherry Brandy?
I use my aloe plants,for everything. I have many other grow great in Vegas .

Well… I’ll have some exciting news to share soon!!
Yes yes! I second this!!

Oh that would be so awesome
Yes please! I'd love an online class❤
I loved the story of Christ and the flower. 💜Beautiful! Thanks for sharing that!
New to the channel love it. I sleep like a rick. But my husband Tom says I snore and keep him up. Lol
Thanks for all your information. Love natural healing. I take no meds. Only natural is the way to go.
I keep Lipton/grocery store tea bags in the med. kit for bleeding cuts. Wet lightly, squeeze out lightly and put on it for 1 minute - clots quickly. 😊
I keep Chamomile like that as well for my eyes!
Awesome info too!!
Just fyi, look up how heavily sprayed the big brand teas are - switching to organic might give you more reliable product
I use black tea bags for pink eye in my grandkids. Goes away quickly. I also use a turmeric water to put in the eyes. Then it's gone!!
I happen to be going hard with lemon balm for my mom’s shingles right now. Internally as a tea and externally on her shingles. I brewed a fresh infusion really strongly. Use cotton balls to apply to the rash. She is experiencing a dramatic difference. No other thing including meds have helped.

Please offer your tea class online!
They are in the works!
You have encouraged me to forage 😊 I was amazed at the abundance of useable plants we found just in our back yard! From catnip to plantain and wild lettuce! The kids had so much fun examining the plants and looking them up to identify. They want to go for a walk now to see what else we can find. Thank you for your encouragement and your laid back attitude it really helps to have fun with it!
Yarrow - great plant to stop bleeding
I dehydrate mine and make tea.
Had my first cup of passion flower tea last evening and was thrilled by the diffusion of warmth and relaxation throughout my body within 10 minutes.
The other day I sliced my thumb making apple chips and ran out to grab yarrow from my garden, I was so amazed by how fast it stopped it lol
U have made almost the same tincture combination a week ago. Only I have added St Johns wort. (hope my spell is correct). I have been using it from time to time and very happy with result. Huge insomniac since the beginnig of menopause and peri menopause. It has been a Nightmare. Hope this helps more people like me.
Look into Black Cohosh!!! I’m glad this is offering help!
I have passion flower growing wild here in SC, I was so excited to know it has medicinal properties, I’ve been messing with herbs for years, these past few years started growing my own.
What a blessing to see that! A bee jumping on the back of another bee❤
Dearest Kaylee, when you have a small wound like you showed, saliva is a very natural wound healing agent.
It is not without reason that animals immediately lick a wound.
Mother nature has helped us a lot on our way.
Gods nature :)
More like Gods amazing design in making us in His image
I found this in the wild near my house. The smell is amazing and it is a beautiful flower.
And the purple colour represent royalty. 😊
I'm always cutting myself accidentally and yarrow has been my go to for first aid for years. Works wonders, even for the female reproductive system and periods! Love me some Yarrow! 💕
Thank you!!!❤ #Lemon balm
Wow! Thank you for that representation of the passion flower!!
Nice morning honey 🎉❤
I love that I just found you! I can’t wait to learn so much more.
Just the scent of Lemon Balm calms me down
Me too!!!
Sweet Sweet Sweet

I planted lemon balm years ago in my yard and it’s everywhere now. I don’t mind it makes me happy. It smells good. I am going to make some tea.
Thank you 🌞🐕🌹🐝
You are quite a doctor and your knowledge helps me understand more . Thank you so so much . God blessings
I love how much I learn from your channel. Thank you for this great information. Have a great weekend!!
I’m gonna have to try to watch for your work shops. I want more hands on as I learn best that way.
Thanks to you, I ordered passion flower seeds and planted them and am just waiting for them to bloom. I did harvest a few leaves and it helped my anxiety! Thank you! It’s such a beautiful vining plant. Going to plant way more next spring 🥰

Great video! ❤Just got this plant! Such a beautiful flower plant! I am excited to try this. Have you seen a difference after taking it?
Off topic-where did you get that dress? It’s so cute!
I harvested 4 Ball jars full of Lemon Balm about two weeks ago. It's one of my favorite herbs that I've grown this year. I love that lemony scent.
I'm going out to get Lemon Balm leaves right now for a tea
This is awesome to learn how to tincture the passionflower. I don't have any fresh around here... can you use dried herbs? What ratio would that be? Thank you again!!!!

Sorry, I can't find you please can you leave a link, thank you @@TheHoneystead
Where do you get your seeds for the passion flower
Is there anyway you could offer the class online at anytime for that workshop?
Online Courses are in the works!!!
@@TheHoneystead
Yes please
It looks like 2 different types of passion flowers. Is that a development stage thing?
Please may you spell the passion flower type? There are so many to choose from, I'd like to narrow down the search 🙂 thank you
When you say you strain the passion flower after 30 days, do you strain out the leaves and flower and the tincture itself is what is absorbed in the vodka? How much should you sip? thank you for your informative videos.

Good afternoon hello 👋🏾 how you doing your still working with plants and honeystead💪🏾🫴🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾✅😎👏🏾🔜🆗🆗👍🏾
I have both of these in my garden can't wait to try it . Can you use the immersion blender with any of the tinctures? I started one with golden rod flowers but completely forgot to chop them up first.
I have been having a real hard time sleeping. Will definitely be trying this ❤.
It’s lovely 💛💛💛
Just made golden rod tincture praying i did it right also dehydrating some. Don't have lemon balm yet
That’s exciting!!
Thank you my son came back from Iraq with ptsd. I’m trying to find things he could take when he can’t get his meds from the V.A. which has happened twice. He had to be hospitalized for three days because of the gap in his meds. I would like to be able to find a way to replace his meds altogether. I’m not sure if that is possible or not but I would like to try.
I want to buy a still as well, but worried about the copper transferring into the products.
I watched a video you did where you used a tray in your freeze dryer that looked like ice cube tray. Where did you get that? I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks ahead of time.
Did you end up putting them together into one jar?
Do you sale any of this ? I’ve not seen any of the passion plants around here.
I love you channel. I've been looking for an online school that teaches herbalism. What school did you go to?
Always be sure to be descriptive. It looks a lot like poison hemlock to a new forager. Thanks for the videos
I’ll have to put together a video on that topic:)
Hello my sister please where is a good place to buy herbal seeds
I love your videos. I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I wished I had all this information years ago. Your never too old to learn though..

I love essential oils. I know I do not grow enough to invest in an essential oil press but I have been looking at them. That would be awesome if you did that.
Question:
Wouldn't you need to use a cheesecloth lid for the passionflower and lemon balm mixtures due to the moisture content?
Yarrow is great! BUT NOT on a puncture wound that needs to drain...that needs softening so it can get all the yuckies out then heal up...
Correct! This was more a slice :) it’s doing great!
What herb did you say youll add to nourish the nervous system?
I live in Louisiana
How do you keep the caterpillars off your Passiflora?
I have been messing around with honey….. the dry vs fresh ratio is where I struggle the most. Do you have Any tips or tricks you have discovered using honey as far as that dry to fresh ratio goes???
It has to be 100 proof because it's fresh plant matter, or can you use 80?
What brand do u recommend that is ready to take ?
I need to grow more lemon balm and I need to start growing Passion flowers again! Do your eat the fruit? I couldn’t get past the gooey stuff…..it smells like fruit punch or Juicy Fruit gum.

I have had it in fruit leather form!
Hi you have really enlighten me on the herbs. I had a question about making the salves, can you make them with just essential oils and coconut oil as the carrier and beeswax?
Ive really wanted to get yarrow going here. I have big hopes and plans for a dedicated herbal and tea garden.
Grow all the things 💛
