Passionflower: calms the brain chatter, anxiety Nettle: antihistamine, allergy-relief, sinus headaches Echinacea:immune boosting, blood purifying, best used before infection as a preventative in anticipation of entering a contagious time Elderberry with ginger: antiviral, flu relief, shortens illness time. Bitters: helps digestion: made from bitter herbs (dandelion, turmeric, chamomile, peppermint etc) that stimulate bile flow, decrease gas, helps regulate sugar cravings etc. taken at every meal before or after 2-3 dropfuls 2-3 times a day usually is a good dosage
Get a clean jar, it doesn't have to be a big jar. Chop up whatever herbs you're using and fill up the jar with the herbs, i only use fresh plants not dried. . Don't tightly pack them. Pour 100 proof vodka over the herbs, fill all the way to the rim so there's no airspace. Put the lid on, you can put a layer of wax paper between the liquid and lid but I usually don't. label it with the date and type of tincture and stick it in a cabinet or pantry. Shake it at least once or twice a week and let it sit for 6-8 weeks or longer. Strain and keep it in a bottle or jar. Thats it. Making tincture is incredibly easy, don't let anyone convince you it's not. To quote one of my favorite herbalist, "You're smart enough to do this"
I started growing my own elderberry. I leaned that for European elderberry (sambucus nigra) you need two different cultivars to cross pollinate each other. I use “Black Beauty” and “Black Lace” planted about 6-8 feet from each other. I had my best harvests begin after doing this.
I appreciate this topic. I am not an herbalist ( there's not genuine certification in the US anyway) I have made several types. The BEST herbs to use are LOCAL your body does well with what grows around you, just like your own home raised produce. Also I am finding sources of seeds of herbs to grow.
I would love a tutorial on how to make tinctures. I think they would be great to have in my medicine cabinet. I would also be interested in tinctures for sleep, anemia and boosting immunity.
It's as easy as putting your fresh herbs in a container (filled all the way) then covered with 100 proof vodka. Let it sit for 6-8 weeks then strain. Add tincture to water, tea or juice. Learn your body & how many drops you need of the tincture to get your desired effect.
I am so thankful for Bitters helping my stomach and gallbladder issues. I am using one that has Wormwood (a game changer on its own too) Angelica, Calamus, Orange peel, Rose flower, rose hip, burdock, ginger, dandelion, fennel, chamomile, Oregon grape, and licorice. I take it straight as gross as it is but I agree with you that everyone should be taking it to improve their overall health. It's been 3 months without any episodes and no more meds the doctor keeps giving me that don't help.
I can fully vouch for nettle tea and tincture. I have/had that really bad react to mosquito bites, I started drinking nettle tea and not only do I now get bitten less frequently but when I do I don't have a huge allergic reaction. I made a nettle tincture and that is also very good used topically to reduce the itch of a bite. And my hay fever is much better too, though some of that is attributed to using a neti pot with a drop of rosemary oil in every other night. Herbs for healing. All the way! I could go on but I'll leave it there 😄
@@violetgentry9041 Sadly, not for me. I have eaten garlic everyday most of my life and it's never lessened mozzy bites or my allergic reaction. However, there is still definitely a lot to be said for the healing qualities of garlic 💜
Nettles were the first herbal I investigated, shortly followed by plantain and lemon balm. This combo taken as a tea worked wonders for me when I was really run down and lacked energy and had stiff joints. I haven’t tried making tinctures yet, but I have a bottle of vodka that’s been sat in my cupboard for years, and as I’m sat here writing, I’m looking at the elderberries ripening just outside my living room window……..
@@diogenesegarden5152 Haha! Elderberries and vodka - what is the line between flavoured alcohol and a tincture? Lol 😂 Jokes aside, I know elderberries are said to have many healing properties, great for colds and yes I've also had success with a plantain tincture for an ear infection once!
@@hal3760 I use plantain as a spit poultice for cuts etc. it works a treat at stopping bleeding quickly, even if it’s quite a deep cut from my sharp whittling knives. It’s supposed to draw toxins or debris out of a wound too. I guess the difference between a tincture and a shot is dosage, it will be fun finding out🤪🥃
I love harvesting herbs from my garden & would really appreciate a tutorial on how you make your tinctures. Love the sound of your Bitters recipe. Feeling inspired.
I have been making some of my own tinctures. I am interested in making my own bitters blend tincture! I would love to see a video of how you make your tinctures to compare with how I make mine. Im always researching and learning new things. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I have lots of tips and tricks depending on what I am making so I will for sure add it all to the list of videos! I am heading on a summer break in july so the next few videos will be pretty low-labor but in August i will be able to put a bit more video + demo effort in.

Just this year I have been studying herbs and their uses. Grandma treated us with some of her remedies . We have passion flower vines and dandelions in our yard. I am so thankful for this information.
I put alcohol tinctures in a bit of hot water, cool some and drink. That takes the alcohol out. Idk if there are certain herb we should not do it with to maintain integrity. Something to consider -If you are an alcoholic it is possible that The smell could be triggering.
I put all my tinctures into a shot glass and fill it up with Juice. Then chase it with another shot of juice. Masks the taste and I can take it all at once 😊
Finally someone that is being truthful about using a tincture it's true that I want to use the tincture because it is fast and I don't want to take time to drink a cup of tea that might make me sick because I can't keep food down I'm not just want to take a tincture and go back to sleep I just want truth and I also appreciate that thank you so much
Thanks to you my knowledge of Tinctures has exploded. Thank God our Creator and Savior for you little sister. Thank you for sharing this invaluable knowledge with this old Grandma. Bravo! Less reason to Trust pharmaceuticals, medicos and their dangerous chemical compounds. We can make His teas and get better a helluva lot faster than running to the dr or pediatrician.
This is very good info! The only thing I wish was included is what part of the plant is used (root, leaves, flower petals, ...and how to make the tincture)
Really good suggestion! I do often forget to SAY that but I did include parts used in the slides. I am definitely going to be sure to include that in future herbal profiles + videos because it is important information! And a tincture video is going to be coming up FOR SURE!
I like your style of teaching and you have alot of knowledge. I'd really appreciate your time and energy in making a Bitters tutorial video when you have the time. No pressure.
Nettle extracted in Glycerin is also a very effective antihistamine and works great for allergies ... especially when required to give to children who may have an aversion to an alcohol tincture. The molecular structure of Vegetable Glycerin is similar to alcohol and therefore does well extracting the same properties without actually using alcohol.
I would love to learn how to make tinctures from the herbs I grow in my garden. For example, I grow a lot of lemon balm and want to make a wonderful tincture with my crop 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
I am working toward having medicinal plants on my property and I really enjoy your presentations. I would enjoy a class on tinctures very much. My lack of faith in traditional medicine has led me to study herbal remedies and I am very excited to take your upcoming course. Thanks for this wonderful information!
I am so excited to find you!! This is the first video I've watched and I can't say enough about it! I like that you didn't draw out the conversation with unneeded details and you were very thorough with the info you provided. I would love tincture tutorials. I have just started making tinctures and it can be overwhelming. This is a fantastic place to start!! Thank you so much! I have subscribed!!
I needed this video badly. I’m a new homesteader/small farmer but my background is in medicine I went to UNH for veterinary technology and small animal care. It has been so difficult for me to wrap my head around how something like a tincture works or could even compare to pharmaceuticals but you definitely provided the details that I was looking for in a way that I understand.
i love to hear that! i have a few foundational videos coming up that will also help you understand some of the perspectives that accompany practicing herbalism. In no way are they are powerful or concentrated as pharmaceuticals and often working with herbs also requires making other lifestyle and wellness interventions, but they definitely have some great active compounds that effect the body!
I would love a tutorial on how you blend your bitters tincture. Definitely need to add that one to my arsenal. Love nettles as a daily infusion. Thanks for the reminders on what to keep on hand ❤
I just found your channel and I'm so happy. I've been well crafting on my property for a year and have been really getting into the subject and making my own tinctures and salves and ointments. Thank you so much.
Hi Kristen, I just found your channel. I have a story to tell. Our dog had a growth on his neck I didn't want to take him to the vet because they seemed to only want to hand out drugs and not find the root cause . My daughter in law did some research and found out about astragalus! We got some in a tincture and within a couple of days the growth was gone and HAS NEVER COME BACK! It has been about 6 years. We do still give it to him maybe 3 times a week. I discovered the wonderful world of herbs and have made many tinctures. Oregano, rosemary, echinacea, elderberry, vitex. Thank you for your information.
oh my gosh that is truly amazing!!!! thank you for sharing that with me!! i just covered vitex and astragalus in one of my recent videos on making tinctures from dried herbs too!
This is a fantastic overview of these powerful herbs. I have been making my own tinctures for decades and am very impressed with your presentation. Thank you. It was a great reminder of some herbs I have let be in my pantry without use.
I just found you! This is my first video to watch. I will be subscribing! I love your voice! It's very soothing. I like the way you present your facts. Quick, to the point, no BS stories about anything! Just information. Love it! I am interested in learning more about bitters. There are a lot of videos out there about making tinctures, but I've not seen one about bitters! Looking forward to reviewing more of your content! Thank you!
From one creator to another, you’re completely right on all this information. So much natural knowledge is literally right in front of us for the finding. And it’s imperative that those of us in the know share knowledge as far and wide and as freely as possible so that we can help all our collective family heal!
@@jenny-DD licenses are sometimes important and then licenses are also extraordinarily pointless. How many doctors have actually killed people by bad medicine/mail practice, and they went to school for seven years+. All you just did here is create negativity and anger because you have not taken the power into your own hands, and you do not trust others to do the same.
Yes please, show us how to make it and if dried herbs can be used. Not too sure if you ship to the UK and how costly that will be, so I will probably benefit by a tutorial. Subscribed and all, cannot wait for the next video xxx
hi! shipping outside of the US is super costly. The very very cool thing about the herbs I love the most is that they are pretty much the same herbs that Y'all would be using in the UK and I live in zone 7 so we have a lot of bio-region overlap! many many of these herbs you can grow as well. We are really working with the same materia medica
Wonderful coming across your new emerging channel…more information in a video than I have seen in some time …great energy and love of what you are creating …best wishes and thanking you for caring enough to share your knowledge…yes please help us learn to create how these are made …stay blessed
thank you so much for these kind words! My mind is blown at the interest in plant medicine and I feel so grateful that I get to share it in this way! Can't wait to do more!
agreed! thank goodness we have emergency medical care when we need it but goodness the gap between medical care and people actually living healthy and happy lives is SOOOO WIDE!
@@herbalistkristen Exactly why we ALL need to learn all we can about herbal Alternatives because you just never know what could happen next, and a lot of sites charge and many ppl I'm sure can't pay BUT THOSE PPL STILL NEED THE INFORMATION...teaching ppl how to survive in bad times shouldn't COST them it leaves them unprepared...I KNOW a great deal about herbal treatments, but I can only teach ppl in person so you have a platform that's needed for so many
@@Damselfly54315 thank you so much for these kind words. I have little areas where I can make some income from this but accessible herbal + wellness education is so important!
Thank you for this information ❤ you’re very easy to watch and so well spoken, nice cadence wonderful sound quality. Everyone makes it looks easy to record videos and it’s not! Much love 💕
thank you so much! I am so glad you are here! I am knee deep in updating the apothecary for the holidays and wrapping up some advanced clinical coursework and will get back into new episodes as soon as possible!
Finally a herbalist that explains uses of herbs and properties etc with an easy to understand and retain way. Love your work 😊. She doesn’t waffle on and bombard you with words. She explains information in a easy to understand straight to point way love it
thank you so much! I love teaching and really want to lay a good foundation for beginners to explore a relationship with plants! Thank you for your feedack.
Is there any source of thyroid replacement, herbal or tenture? As i has thyroid cancer seceral years ago. I am on a pill every day HRT. But what could i take in its place should I not have access to my prescription. This scares and worries me. Thanks
The 5 tinctures I use are dual extracted Turkey Tail/Chaga/Reishi mushroom combo,(not a herb I know) Dandelion, Ginger, Turmeric w Black pepper and Echinacea. Thanks for the additional information on other herbs to try.
Thanks for the video. I bought myself some elderberry bushes for the medicinal benefits, it would be a pleasure to see a video on doing your elderberry tincture, I have to types of alcohol, vodka and Everclear (moonshine) I was told the greater the alcohol the better the extraction, what is your opinion on that, this herbal medicine is new to me, but I'm learning everything I can to make my own medicine.
I love nettles! I use them in cooking, teas and fertilizer for the garden. They sadly really get a bad rep. I do pull them out were I don’t want them in the yard. Hard to walk in shorts and sandals 🤣 But, of course, when I pull them out, I use them!
I also would love a tutorial. I've been interested in herbs for years but never moved forward. I think now is the time! Thank you for your information and many blessings to you and yours.
that is one of the videos that is in y herbalism 101 series which is steadily coming out AND it will be in the free herb course that re launches next month so this information is on its way! I also have a full time bodywork practice so I need to be patient with how much I am able to accomplish at once, but its on it's way!
I am 70 years old and it took me a long time to understand. Do what you want, as much as you can, then rejoice and start again tomorrow. Just do something
Great tips for me to replenish my little herbal apothecary! I use passionflower as a nervine, but the video helped me understand what exactly it does in the body and I really appreciate it. Also I must go and make a batch of nettle tincture right away! Thank you, I'm subscribing.
So glad I stumbled onto your video! I am new to learning herbs this summer. Have several growing and currently have a lemon balm tincture and a sage tincture steeping. I have echinacea slowly growing but hope to use that too. I would LOVE a video with how tos on these tinctures! I saved some dandelion flowers and dried them but not sure what to do with them yet.
Love herbal medicine, to a point. If you have sepsis of bacterial blood infections (bacteremia) please please please go to the emergency room for infusion antibiotics.
omg 100%. I would go further to say the best outcomes come when people have a good relationship with a great primary care doctor AND a foot in lifestyle/herbal interventions. It really can't be either or. It's both AND.
I had just posted a need for controlling epilepsy...and it was the next video... thats you! Passion flower. 😊 Thank you!!! Are you familiar with cleavers? Wild marshmallow? I'd love to see you make a tincture. I love to learn. Thank you for this information ❤😊🙏
Hello Kristen, I enjoyed your video. I am just starting my journey into medicinal herbs. it seems like every person has a different list of herbs for each ailment. I do want to try some of the tinctures you have mentioned but the first thing I would like to start with is something for headache, migraine and or inflammation. Any help or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much. Kim
YES! Just subscribed in hopes of seeing a tincture tutorial, soon! I have nettle everywhere on my farm and am about to harvest some young leaves to make a tincture for my family members with allergies.
Many thanks for this very clear, succint, education on 5 helpful, base, herbal tinctures. Really enjoyed! And yes, love to know how they can be made. All best Kristen 👏👍😊💐🏵
I would love a tutorial on tinctures! Can tinctures be made with dry herbs or does it always have to be fresh? Where do we buy your tinctures please? Thanks, Regina😊
With mushrooms they should be dry. I would think some (plant) herbs could be done fresh. But I only am familiar with shrooms. Reishi, chaga , turkeytail , and lions mane as I forage , use and sell these.
Anxiety is typically a vitamin deficiency; one that can't be handled by your standard 400 mg daily dose. I suffered extreme anxiety which has completely gone away with a 1200 mg daily dose. I am currently on a maintenance dose of 600 - 800 mg daily. Note: the type of magnesium is also important. I personally use a supplement with 5 types of magnesium (Citrate, Succinate,, Glycinate, Malate, and Taurinate) Source Naturals - Ultra Mag. Taken in divide doses throughout the day. My Anxiety attacks were no joke. It looked more like a seizure with me ending on the floor sucking air like a fish out of water, and resulting in a irregular heart beat.
Passionflower: calms the brain chatter, anxiety
Nettle: antihistamine, allergy-relief, sinus headaches
Echinacea:immune boosting, blood purifying, best used before infection as a preventative in anticipation of entering a contagious time
Elderberry with ginger: antiviral, flu relief, shortens illness time.
Bitters: helps digestion: made from bitter herbs (dandelion, turmeric, chamomile, peppermint etc) that stimulate bile flow, decrease gas, helps regulate sugar cravings etc. taken at every meal before or after
2-3 dropfuls 2-3 times a day usually is a good dosage
What about black current tinctures

@@herbalistkristen cheers! 🌺
Thanks so much *MR OBALAR* on TH-cam for curing me from Herpes, keep saving lives.😊❤❤…
Love your style of teaching ❤ Would really appreciate a video on tincture making 🎉
These are some of the plants I’m trying to grow on my property. Let’s hope that works. Can’t wait to try making tinctures.

I would love a tutorial on how you blend your bitters tincture. Definitely need to add that one to my arsenal. Love nettles as a daily infusion. Thanks for the reminders on what to keep on hand ❤
I just found your channel and I'm so happy. I've been well crafting on my property for a year and have been really getting into the subject and making my own tinctures and salves and ointments. Thank you so much.
Hi Kristen, I just found your channel. I have a story to tell. Our dog had a growth on his neck I didn't want to take him to the vet because they seemed to only want to hand out drugs and not find the root cause . My daughter in law did some research and found out about astragalus! We got some in a tincture and within a couple of days the growth was gone and HAS NEVER COME BACK! It has been about 6 years. We do still give it to him maybe 3 times a week. I discovered the wonderful world of herbs and have made many tinctures. Oregano, rosemary, echinacea, elderberry, vitex. Thank you for your information.
oh my gosh that is truly amazing!!!! thank you for sharing that with me!! i just covered vitex and astragalus in one of my recent videos on making tinctures from dried herbs too!
I love your spirit of sharing! Thank you so much.🙏🏽
This is a fantastic overview of these powerful herbs. I have been making my own tinctures for decades and am very impressed with your presentation. Thank you. It was a great reminder of some herbs I have let be in my pantry without use.
*MR OBALAR* ON TH-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ❤❤..
I found this video to be very interesting.
I just found you! This is my first video to watch.
I will be subscribing!
I love your voice! It's very soothing.
I like the way you present your facts. Quick, to the point, no BS stories about anything! Just information. Love it!
I am interested in learning more about bitters. There are a lot of videos out there about making tinctures, but I've not seen one about bitters!
Looking forward to reviewing more of your content!
Thank you!
From one creator to another, you’re completely right on all this information. So much natural knowledge is literally right in front of us for the finding. And it’s imperative that those of us in the know share knowledge as far and wide and as freely as possible so that we can help all our collective family heal!
Yes, please practice medicine without a license
And get her in trouble. Play foolish games and win foolish prizes
@@jenny-DD licenses are sometimes important and then licenses are also extraordinarily pointless. How many doctors have actually killed people by bad medicine/mail practice, and they went to school for seven years+. All you just did here is create negativity and anger because you have not taken the power into your own hands, and you do not trust others to do the same.
Yes please, show us how to make it and if dried herbs can be used. Not too sure if you ship to the UK and how costly that will be, so I will probably benefit by a tutorial. Subscribed and all, cannot wait for the next video xxx
hi! shipping outside of the US is super costly. The very very cool thing about the herbs I love the most is that they are pretty much the same herbs that Y'all would be using in the UK and I live in zone 7 so we have a lot of bio-region overlap! many many of these herbs you can grow as well. We are really working with the same materia medica
YES PLEASE. TINCTURE TUTORIAL!!!
Wonderful coming across your new emerging channel…more information in a video than I have seen in some time …great energy and love of what you are creating …best wishes and thanking you for caring enough to share your knowledge…yes please help us learn to create how these are made …stay blessed
1:52 every 7UZz2?😊z2
thank you so much for these kind words! My mind is blown at the interest in plant medicine and I feel so grateful that I get to share it in this way! Can't wait to do more!
Yes do more tutorials, we need alternative medicine given whats going on in the world...
agreed! thank goodness we have emergency medical care when we need it but goodness the gap between medical care and people actually living healthy and happy lives is SOOOO WIDE!
@@herbalistkristen Exactly why we ALL need to learn all we can about herbal Alternatives because you just never know what could happen next, and a lot of sites charge and many ppl I'm sure can't pay BUT THOSE PPL STILL NEED THE INFORMATION...teaching ppl how to survive in bad times shouldn't COST them it leaves them unprepared...I KNOW a great deal about herbal treatments, but I can only teach ppl in person so you have a platform that's needed for so many
@@Damselfly54315 thank you so much for these kind words. I have little areas where I can make some income from this but accessible herbal + wellness education is so important!
Just found your channel. I would love to learn more about making tinctures/elixers.
I moved from PA to Florida and never had allergies til I moved here, going to make that nettle tincture!!
Thank you for this information ❤ you’re very easy to watch and so well spoken, nice cadence wonderful sound quality. Everyone makes it looks easy to record videos and it’s not! Much love 💕
its really not!!! its so much work! I know there is a lot of work to grow so I look forward to getting better and better!
Nice video. 🤗 very helpful. Thank you for sharing. I would love to see how you make them. I am glad I found your channel. Thank you.!!!!

Finally a herbalist that explains uses of herbs and properties etc with an easy to understand and retain way. Love your work 😊.

thank you so much! I love teaching and really want to lay a good foundation for beginners to explore a relationship with plants! Thank you for your feedack.
I grow several of my own herbs and started foraging last year. It's amazing what is available to use. Please do the tutorial for us!
Is there any source of thyroid replacement, herbal or tenture? As i has thyroid cancer seceral years ago. I am on a pill every day HRT. But what could i take in its place should I not have access to my prescription. This scares and worries me. Thanks
Hi, your video is real awesome. Just a question on bitters, can a person which had the gallbladder removed, use bitters?
Yes, even more so since you’re unable to store bile. I would also check out the benefits of TUDCA.
I'm interested in the Bitter for taking before each meal
*MR OBALAR* ON TH-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ❤❤..
The 5 tinctures I use are dual extracted Turkey Tail/Chaga/Reishi mushroom combo,(not a herb I know) Dandelion, Ginger, Turmeric w Black pepper and Echinacea. Thanks for the additional information on other herbs to try.
oh i loveee a good dual extracted mushroom combo. those are some of my favorite mushrooms too!
I would love to learn how to make my own tinctures
5 star video!
I, too, live in Northern Virginia, and the allergies for my family are crazy here... Great information you are giving!
Yes please do tincture video!!!
*MR OBALAR* ON TH-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ❤❤..
Thanks much and need a tutorial for the vinigar tincture.
Wow, I was pleasantly surprised to see I either had all of these tinctures already made or had the leaves blended for teas. Every single one.
Yes, ma’am I’d love to learn how to make my own!
I found this video SO helpful! I love the way you really went into each herb and how to use them - such a blessing to find! Thank you 😊
I love and appreciate your valued information on natural healing. I would be interested in making a tincture that helps with nerve pain (neuropathy)
th-cam.com/video/Vxr_x3EJfzg/w-d-xo.html (fresh st johns wort might be a good option for you, look into it and do your research to start!)
*MR OBALAR* ON TH-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ❤❤..
Thanks for the video. I bought myself some elderberry bushes for the medicinal benefits, it would be a pleasure to see a video on doing your elderberry tincture, I have to types of alcohol, vodka and Everclear (moonshine) I was told the greater the alcohol the better the extraction, what is your opinion on that, this herbal medicine is new to me, but I'm learning everything I can to make my own medicine.
Thank you. Wonderfully presented information.
I would gratefully, WELCOME A Tutorial on making tinctures, please!!
What a great way to naturally support the body’s immune system & health 👍🏽😁
I love nettles! I use them in cooking, teas and fertilizer for the garden.
They sadly really get a bad rep. I do pull them out were I don’t want them in the yard. Hard to walk in shorts and sandals 🤣
But, of course, when I pull them out, I use them!
I also would love a tutorial. I've been interested in herbs for years but never moved forward. I think now is the time! Thank you for your information and many blessings to you and yours.
th-cam.com/video/Vxr_x3EJfzg/w-d-xo.html
I would love to learn more about building the basics for my apothecary! Your videos are very informative and helpful. Thank you.
that is one of the videos that is in y herbalism 101 series which is steadily coming out AND it will be in the free herb course that re launches next month so this information is on its way! I also have a full time bodywork practice so I need to be patient with how much I am able to accomplish at once, but its on it's way!
I am 70 years old and it took me a long time to understand. Do what you want, as much as you can, then rejoice and start again tomorrow. Just do something
Great tips for me to replenish my little herbal apothecary! I use passionflower as a nervine, but the video helped me understand what exactly it does in the body and I really appreciate it. Also I must go and make a batch of nettle tincture right away! Thank you, I'm subscribing.
A dropper full is about 1/2 tsp..
So glad I stumbled onto your video! I am new to learning herbs this summer. Have several growing and currently have a lemon balm tincture and a sage tincture steeping. I have echinacea slowly growing but hope to use that too. I would LOVE a video with how tos on these tinctures! I saved some dandelion flowers and dried them but not sure what to do with them yet.
just came across your channel thank you for getting to the points and being so practical
Love herbal medicine, to a point. If you have sepsis of bacterial blood infections (bacteremia) please please please go to the emergency room for infusion antibiotics.
omg 100%. I would go further to say the best outcomes come when people have a good relationship with a great primary care doctor AND a foot in lifestyle/herbal interventions. It really can't be either or. It's both AND.
Such a great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❣️
I had just posted a need for controlling epilepsy...and it was the next video... thats you! Passion flower. 😊
Thank you!!! Are you familiar with cleavers? Wild marshmallow?
I'd love to see you make a tincture. I love to learn. Thank you for this information ❤😊🙏
Great info!! Well done presentation too…. Thank you! 🧡🙌🏻☺️
I would love to make them myself. I have been working I similar tinctures. Did not know of one of them this is great
Have you heard much about olive leaves?
Hello Kristen, I enjoyed your video. I am just starting my journey into medicinal herbs. it seems like every person has a different list of herbs for each ailment. I do want to try some of the tinctures you have mentioned but the first thing I would like to start with is something for headache, migraine and or inflammation.
Any help or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
thank you so much.
Kim
OH YES ME TOO. My friend has "White Matter Brain Disease" the Migraines are so bad she almost commit suicide. PLEASE I been searching for something.
YES! Just subscribed in hopes of seeing a tincture tutorial, soon! I have nettle everywhere on my farm and am about to harvest some young leaves to make a tincture for my family members with allergies.
Many thanks for this very clear, succint, education on 5 helpful, base, herbal tinctures. Really enjoyed! And yes, love to know how they can be made. All best Kristen 👏👍😊💐🏵
Any of these herbs good for pain❤
I would love a tutorial on tinctures! Can tinctures be made with dry herbs or does it always have to be fresh? Where do we buy your tinctures please? Thanks, Regina😊
With mushrooms they should be dry. I would think some (plant) herbs could be done fresh. But I only am familiar with shrooms. Reishi, chaga , turkeytail , and lions mane as I forage , use and sell these.
@@timothylongmore7325Most tinctures are made with dry herbs
Following you from India...
yay! welcome!
I would love to learn more about herbal tinctures
Yes please ,show us how to make them !
I'm so happy I found your page
Anxiety is typically a vitamin deficiency; one that can't be handled by your standard 400 mg daily dose.
I suffered extreme anxiety which has completely gone away with a 1200 mg daily dose. I am currently on a maintenance dose of 600 - 800 mg daily.
Note: the type of magnesium is also important. I personally use a supplement with 5 types of magnesium (Citrate, Succinate,, Glycinate, Malate, and Taurinate) Source Naturals - Ultra Mag. Taken in divide doses throughout the day.
My Anxiety attacks were no joke. It looked more like a seizure with me ending on the floor sucking air like a fish out of water, and resulting in a irregular heart beat.
Following from South Africa. Love your videos 💕🙏
