God gave us what we need for healing in nature...so its sweet you recognized that
I've been figuring a bunch of things out about what I eat recently and found things that healed me.
@@loft306 Rhere ARE good things and bad,and ur body knows, preprogrammed by God
Yes. I very much appreciate your recognition of God’s plan in creation. Thank you.
My favorite part of your video is how you thank God for all our bounties. HUGS!
💛💛💛
I could not sleep for some reason, so I got up and started watching videos and somehow I got over to your page and I had to subscribe, once I heard you mentioning and giving credit to our Heavenly Father for all of the beauty in nature and the design and how perfect the order of it truly is! Thank you!😊
I was on my way home from pulling a 12 hrs shift listening to you speaking in Bluetooth while driving. I knew where a rather large patch was and drove there, grabbed a few plants and am just now labeling 2 full quarts while listening to this video again. Thanks so much to all of you sharing your knowledge with us!
Loved seeing you take your Grandma out to help harvest and help you. From her expression, it was a great outing for her...would love to see more of her and you in the future. ❤
Hold a leaf under water ! It will show sliver colors if you're not sure when there are no flowers. Used it all my life
This past weekend I carried a carboard box to my car and noticed within about 20 minutes that I got contact dermititis on my left wrist and hand. It got red, bumpy, itchy and hives started to form.
I started a jewelweed tincture with vodka about 4 weeks ago and I took some out of the pint size jar and put it in a small spray bottle and sprayed it on my wrist. It took the itch away immediately
and I sprayed it a couple of times and within 20 minutes all the hives & redness were completely gone.
Jewelweed is amazing.
I didnt see anyone else mention it here (& haven't made it through the video yet!) But one of the most beautiful things about this plant is the underside veins of the leaves turn silver (hence: jewel!) When held underwater. A totally unnecessary detail of the plant, but again, God. 😍💕 good to help identify too!
If that tattoo on the inside of your upper arm is a honeybee, well thats where I got my first sting after becoming a beekeeper, she flew right into me I had my arm out for some reason. I don't remember now. That was over 9 years ago.
I very rarely will sit and watch an entire youtube video. Same goes for a tv program or movie. However, I become so immersed in your content. I love the woods, nature and above all else our lord and savior Jesus Christ as you do. Perhaps that is why. I have sat here the past several days and consumed so much of your content and knowledge from beginning to end. This information you are passing along is indeed priceless to future generations. May God bless you and your family. As always "To God Be The Glory".
My daughters poison Ivy Fancy Nancy book we read every night says to use jewelweed!! Im glad this was accurate then 🤣
Sweet and informative video! I will be looking for Jewel weed on treks along the creek! I do have a rash that will not go away and would be so happy if the Lord would reveal a cure while I’m on my walk with Him! 💖
Absolutely love seeing you with your grandmother! Very precious!
I second your comment,
.
Kaylee, I love seeing your Grandmother in your videos 🥰 🤗 please give her a hug for me 🤗 ❣
I look forward to seeing her in many more videos.
These are treasured memories that will last for a long time.
I miss my Grandmother (she's been gone for a long time now) I treasuremy memoriesof her & my Mom who passed away September 5th 2022.
Give your Mother a huge hug for me too 🤗❣
God bless you & your family❣
@@robynm7221My grandparents left a long time ago, and I will always miss them! I'm glad I knew them, and I hope to see them in Heaven some day.

Me too Kristen❣
I LOVE videos featuring grandma! Thank you so much for this..we have tons of poison ivy down by our pond but I've been unable to locate jewelweed. I didn't realize it was so big, or that juicy!
I have been unsuccessfully trying to propagate jewelweed onto my property for two years so far. Maybe next year?
I always love that you give God thanks for the medicine he had given us! I love learning so much from you. I wish Oklahoma was closer would love to come to one of your workshops….maybe one day…
Just a little tip...with plant matter in bags, roll to remove air from bag. Gives you more flat area for storage.
First step in poison ivy exposure: wash the area as if you got in dirty crankcase oil. Dawn dish soap and a wash cloth or coarse paper towel. Mechanical action is needed to remove it. If you don't know of exposure until itching starts, and as long as no open blisters, use the same methods to remove the oil and symptoms immediately vanish. Practice ahead of time by using dirty oil/grease and getting it off you as the ivy oil is clear but the same techniques work. Then pursue the herbal remedies if needed.
Poison ivy oils are light....water is enough
Yes, thank God!
He is so great!!
I love all of your videos,Kaylee. I would like to offer a suggestion regarding freezing your jewelweed and other plants. Instead of zip lock bags I use vacuum sealed bags. They not only take up less space in your freezer but they are reusable as well! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 💚
Apple cider vinegar all by itself is my gotoo for poison ivy when it's just beginning to be irritated. Love your apothecary! Thank you for all you delivery of Wisdom and doing!
I have this in my yard and had planned to cut it down. Glad I waited. Now I need to get some witch hazel. Boy, I wished I knew about this years ago. When I first moved here, for 4 years straight I ended up with poison ivy.
Your grandmother is so sweet. I miss my grandma. She was my rock growing up. I learned so much from her.
We have these ALL over our property. One of the twenty plants I identified and harvested to make medicinals and this is our first year here. There are so many wild edibles all around us sometimes I wonder why I sow seeds.
Worship the Creator not His creation. 🙏
It is so awesome you get to spend time with your grandmother. I have noticed those of us who lost our grandparents when we were young due to them being smokers. Even though I love tobacco I know if I want to live a long life I should quit. I've heard smoking raspberry leaf, catnip and mullein help to minimize cravings and heal lungs.
I quit smoking and it was easy /hard...see it's easy to decide to do it and just do it just determin that that is it. I smoked since I was 13 was 62 when I finally quit . Tried many times but I developed asthma after covid and struggling to breathe was my "going to do it this time." I almost caved in many times but didn't and I'm much better but still have asthma. The other reward was friends and family were so proud of me and that made a big difference too..backsliding would really make a lot of people sad so I have told the old devil No not even one puff off of the husbands when he's not looking temptation will always be there but the longer you go the easier it gets... I'm around smokers all the time. Husband for one and after 4yrs. It's not a problem . 🙏
I'm learning that Mullein is very good for our lungs. It will help to heal.
How amazingly where theres poisonous plants, theres healing plants too
Oh your Lovely Grandma 💖 is so Sweet and Precious ❤ You are so good to take her along 🎉 God Bless You 🙏😇💝🌹
Loving your content so much. What I really resonate with you and your mom is that you are life long learners. I tend to get a little intimidated by all the knowledge some herbalists have and foolishly think that all that knowledge lives in their head at all times. Watching you refer to books and letting us know that you are going to research topics lets me know that you never stop learning what you need to know. I know that experience helps to make you more comfortable with plants and their benefits, but seeing and watching you guys continue to learn new techniques, plant id and recipes gives me a feeling of peace. You are a credit to your Grandmother. She clearly is so proud of you and the knowledge you possess. Just bought the Peterson book!
Praise the Lord! God Bless you, girl.
You’re a beautiful beekeeper with great info
As a kid Jewl weed would grow along the wood line in the backyard. Poison Ivy did too. I loved to pop all the seed pods by just gently touching them and watching how far the seeds would pop out. Bing, Bing, Bing. 8 inches, 12 inches, the tail one went 2 feet! Lol. My dad would tell me to rub the sap on my Poison Ivy if I had any.
so cool to see you and mom im guessing but you and a prior generation .love that for you
Hummingbirds love the flowers, I have lots of it growing around my porch, once it blooms the hummingbirds show up. I make jewelweed soap, I infuse the jewelweed into the lard and also boil the jewelweed in water to use when I make the soap... old fashioned lye soap made with lard is very good at cutting the oil from the poison oak off your skin...
I learned of Jewel Weed when I was hiking the AT.
Absolutely the best antihistamine in the woods!
I would harvest some juicy stalks when I found them and tuck them in my pack, when you get an irritation (bug bite, STINGING NETTLES, poison ivy, etc) it will remedy your issues!
I split the stalk with my finger nail and rub the juicy flesh on the irritated area. IT WORKS!!! (And the seeds are fun to harvest...they 'pop' open)
Also called 'Touch me not' because ripe seed pods pop when something bruises them. Love the stuff.
I remember popping those seed pods as a kid. Had more fun. Did not know the plant was a treasure chest of healing. Love the fact that it grows near poison ivy. Perfect planning.
I do not have first-hand experience with poison ivy/oak/sumac exposure, but I would instinctively go to plantain weed. It's what I use on bug bites and the plains tribes used it for rattlesnake bite because of its drawing power. I've also used dock weed for the same purpose. But, if I ever come across jewelweed, I will try that too. Thanks for a fantastic video.
I have been looking for some in my area recently. I just found some last week, but its in an awkward spot. So I'll need to figure that out. I want to make a salve. I've not worked with it before so thank you for doing this video. Yes, praise the Lord for all His good gifts!
Awww, how sweet your grandma is loving ❤️ helping with the herbs 🌿 and you're so sweet to include her in your TH-cam ❤ Thank you for teaching, I will be ordering more books .it's never too late to learn. I'm 57 and just getting knowledge and loving it .thank you so much 💓
I wondered what that plant was....its all over my property, in the borders, along with, blackberry, wild rasberry, lambsquarters, poke and of course poison ivy. The more I hit it with the weedeater, the more it grows and comes back with a vengeance. ....thanks, now I have a use for it.....Central Jersey.....also appreciate the goldenrod education....another prolific plant here.
I planted witch hazel trees three years ago so I can make my own witch hazel. I am so excited. Great segment! Thank you for sharing. Light and love...
I just got a witch hazel to do the same thing. Whoo Hoo !
I thank God as well ❤
Ive just found you. Love your videos. Such a gift that you have your grandma. I think thanking both God, the Creator, and the plant that's giving its life, is a very good and grateful place. 😊
Hey 👋 I have jewel weed all along my Creek. I’m so glad that you did this video about using it for poison ivy and poison oak honestly the only time I thought I could use it was if I got into the stinging nettles while I was harvesting them and it does work great for stinging nettles by the way, the juicy stems you just rub them on your area that’s affected, and it instantly numbs the area like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I am very inspired by your channel and I’ve ordered a couple of the books that you have shared. I’m so thankful to be on the path of getting back into my herbal studies again, God bless you sisters.
I use jewelweed in soap and salve. It is amazing for any itchy.
First time viewer…love your knowledge, care in procuring plants and love of your family and God. All adds up for a happy viewer.
As a gymnastics coached we used to make ice in the small paper cups people keep by toothbrushing sinks. It made the ice easy to hold when kids needed it for brush burns and stuff like that. That method would probably work well for the jewel weed ice.
We have this in the UK and it's called orange balsam. It's not native but its not too invasive.
Grandma is getting around great!
Violet lives in a paradise ❣️
I have so many of these beautiful plants growing all around my back deck and all through the woods behind my house. I am blessed ☺️
Hey girly girl, I started reading Alchemy of Herbs by Rosalee De LA Foret. If you do not have this in your library I highly recommend it. ❤
I want to share I've been freeze drying all my tomatoes raw....i deseed them then grind them up with the skins then prefreeze them the out come is a brilliant red Styrofoam looking piece which i then break up into powder then jar and seal... im making spaghetti tonight with it my thoughts are to reconstitute it slowly to control the thickness which i like thick with all the seasoning in it thus no long simmering process same for tomatoe soup which we love... i powdered onions also but in slices not griding up too many tears... for me this all shortens the time over hot stove and boiling bath water.....this year was the first in a long time ive had a bumper crop so we will see GOD Bless
I adore this video. I miss my grandma 💝
A great tincture to have!
Known as Touch-Me-Nots here in eastern KY.
Thank you! This spring, I looked for jewelweed on our new homestead, but with no flowers, I couldn't be sure. But this month, wiw, at the back of my hill garden, the flowers were unmistakable!! Right there, as you said, by the poson ivy, glad that I saw it first! Thanks, I was goingvto dry it, and tincture in glycerin, but the fresh in wotch hazel sounds better! In the meantime, I did buy a bar of jewelweed soap, it did help my allergic eczema! A real blessing, thank you.
Thank God you are so right! Thank you for your kind reminder 🙏 I love seen your grandmother tag along she is so cute!
I love your grandmother's accent.
It's very refreshing to hear you give thanks to Yahuwah our creator and not the creation.
Thank you for taking the time to show me these recordings.
I watched it with attention and pleasure.
Jewelweed works. We use it all the time.
Thank you beautiful Souls 💙🐬🍄🌻
You have a sweet grandma. You are blessed.❤
Perfect timing. I have these JEWELWEED growing in my yard.
Praise YAHUAH for the herb of the field bearing seed after its kind.
Awe your Grandma is beautiful. 🥰
Your husband's a very lucky man.
You are such a blessing! God bless you abundantly!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge its such a breath of fresh air to watch soneone using their time usefully.
love your video's and i love seeing your grandma. Miss seeing your mom!
I so much appreciate you taking the time to teach what you know.
My grandmother used a lot of things her Cherokee grandmother taught and used for her family.
I would love to learn much more about healing plants.
Blessings from N Mississippi
I love your sweet grandma ❤❤❤
Good to hear, have a lot in my woods
Amen! Thank you for mentioning this is God given
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ❤️👍👆
I just love you❤️ You know what’s up in this world & you’re absolutely correct, books are the way to go JUST IN CASE❤️
I don’t believe I’ve seen this in the Pacific Northwest. We do however have soap root which is also an excellent remedy for poison oak & often grows near it. The bulb like root was used for washing by native Americans who also used it to shock fish for catching. The fibers surrounding the root was used as hair combs. It resembles a spider plant.
I have put my jewelweed in the oven on a cookie sheet and dried it at the lowest heat setting. It gets very crispy
Awesome videos thank you
Thanks for the video!! Your dog violet is so cute!! ❤😍🤗
There was a white-headed white-bearded older gentleman at the homestead festival talking about herbalism. He talked about another plant that he said worked way better than jewelweed. I would have to go back & watch the video again & take notes.
I make jewelweed salve all the time. I put a breathable cover over the oil as it is infusing and have no trouble with it going rancid. I did a quick infusion on my batch last fall (over 90 - 100 degree heat in oil 8-12 hours like you'd let yogurt cure). I have a batch going right now from air dried jewleweed. It is possible to air dry it without getting mold. I'm in the humidity south too. I chop up leaves, flowers and stems and lay out in a thin layer inside. Toss every few hours and by next day they were crispy. I'm sure there was still a bit of moisture in there, but they felt completely dry and the leaves crumbled at that point. I jar them tightly and cover with oil at that point. I used a piece of paper towel and canning ring as a breathable cover for a few days. Then covered with a solid lid and shake every day or so until I'll strain it at the 6 week mark. Then I make it into a salve. I grabbed my jar of jewelweed oil and used it straight the last time I grabbed an entire handful of poison ivy. It worked and I never got a rash. I'm going to try your witchhazel method for a spray option.
Eta: We have jewelweed that covers entire mountainsides (I'm in far WNC). It is both orange and yellow (different varieties in separate patches).
Beautiful!!! Thank you for offering this! I will try it for sure!!!
What kind of oil can you use for this please?
@karenjones9422 I use olive oil. My basic recipe is 4 parts infused oil to 1 part bees wax. You can play with those ratios a bit for a thicker or thinner salve.
@@melkrist Thanks so much for your reply! I get excema and rosacea and really want to try this as jewelweed grows all over here and the Rx cream I get from my Derm costs $70!
Yellow root was my first herb, jewelweed was my second, I've learned a lot from those plants. 71 and still learning........
I actually was going to buy that book thank you for the reminder.. ❤ we have problems these days with toxic people i hope they start to realize that what they do goes back to them 10 times over including messing with the earth. Love your videos makes me always want to smash the button. Kindness goes so far. God Bless
Hi I’m on my husbands TH-cam, but I love to go and forage for jewel weed for my soaps. My son gets poison ivy when he cuts trees. My mother said it works on her bug bites. I love that you shared other ways I can use jewel weed.
Thank our Father in heaven .....w/o ....apologies....also love how the seed pods pop open..
Just had your channel pop up on my feed and was interested in the title because we have so much poison ivy on our property and my son and I seem to always get it. And I'm pretty sure we have a bunch of this down by our creek and when I seen it I was in awe of it because all of the little yellow flowers all over it. I'll have to use my plant identification app and make sure it's this but I'm pretty sure it is.
Great video! I need to have this plant in my life. Will start keeping an eye out for it. You might want to try a batch using a stick blender to macerate the plant's flesh in the witch hazel. Make a pulp that you can press or freeze it. God bless you.
I love you gave God recognition for creating the herbs that heal us! Also what music did you use in this video? I love it!
Hello and God bless. First, I just want to say you are so blessed to have your grandma with you and it is so beautiful to see you give her small tasks and time spent with her. I can see why God is blessing you as you are caring for our seniors and loving on her. So sweet. Second, what a great find that is in nature for us! I am in TX so not sure if that is available here but, being originally from east coast (CT) I will be on the lookout. Thank you!
Good Info, I have that plant growing near me. Your GM is a sweetheart.
I was just wondering about jewelweed last week...Ialso happened to be near some poison ivy clearing out some sumac. It's wonderful to hear this info and realize my inner guidance is working! Thank you so much for these videos...so sweet to see your Grandma too; I can tell she is proud of you. 🌱🥰✨💟
I 100% agree! I love Jewel-weed, I have been using it for the past 4 yrs now. soaps, lotions oils sprays, you name it...hands down my go too
I have so many questions!!! I recently started watching, and am amazed with your property! Is this family land that you all share? You just scooted down and grabbed your grandma. How cool!! I am learning so much from you all and hope to start growing some medicinal herbs alongside my gardens!!
Great video, i hope i find some. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
Wonderful, i just came across your videos and im blessed.
I love your times with your grandmother! How long will the Witch Hazel tincture last?
Thanks, I've had poison ivy on my arms and legs five times this year. I'm an arborist. I ordered the book.
I did mine in 91% alcohol n I have it in a roller bottle in my kit....❤
In ur video when u were showing the horsetail there was also lady's thumb....👏👏
Your Nana is wonderful❤
Yes I do thank God for His provision of herbs and plants that are our food and medicine. The plants don't hear us talk to them so I don't 😊
I can’t believe I forgot that one.
It’s everywhere in NC!
I’ve had Oak and Ivey so much I feel like I need to find the elusive sumac just to get the triad!
The flowers are def. cool…
It ain’t called jewel weed for nothin!… right 😎
Wash with Zout Fels-Naptha soap.. when come out of the woods .. just make sure when your done u put it up high out of moisture because it will just melt the soap..My friend makes a save for me with that plant .. we love it
Jewel Weed is also known as Touch-Me-Not plant. You mentioned that they self seed so if you look closely you’ll notice that they naturalize by a sort of expulsion of their seeds from the pods. When you touch the pods, they burst open and the seeds pop out to disperse. I like that you mentioned it does tend to grow near poison ivy. 😊
