Lavender is an exceptional herb. A number of years ago I suffered for weeks with a burning and swollen tongue and gums. I was referred from specialist to specialist and they eventually, after thousands and thousands of Rands (I live in South Africa) gave up and told me that there was nothing that could be done. I'd used lavender on a suppurating sore on my dog and, in desperation, tipped the lavender essential oil bottle on to my tongue and dabbed my whole tongue and gums. It tasted disgusting but, wonder of wonder, within hours, what doctors couldn't cure, was cured. I'm never without lavender and lavender oil now. 😁
Did they test for b12 deficiency
@@annjenkinson7988 I don't think so. I don't remember bloods being taken. Anyway, I now load myself up with supplements so that I shouldn't have any such issues again. 😁
@@PortugalaGals good to hear felicity I worked in complimentary care for over 10 years and b12 deficiency would present itself that way I wish you joy and wellness
@@annjenkinson7988 Thank you so much for your comment. I'll most definitely keep B12 in mind. It's amazing to me (well probably not) that those people who should know, didn't. That's why Heidi's information is so precious. She also has the best followers. :))
Thanks for sharing that story, good info.
I love Lavender and one of the regular uses for me is making a tea, cooling it down and using as a bug spray. Usually mosquitoes eat me alive but they do not come near me with Lavender spray. I also spray it lightly on my bedsheets and pillows early in evening as it also helps with those night time flying pests AND relaxes you and makes you sleep better, double whammy. ON hot summer days, spraying int on also helps cool my skin apart from keeping bugs away. I am in remission, recovering from Cancer, so am interested to hear it helps with that as well. I live near a creek and in hottest part of summer we always get a flea infestation (I have no dogs or cats) and since my Lavender bushes has grown bigger, I have not had that either. I have a Rosemary bush next to the 3 Lavenders, so suspect they are all working together
I've heard lavender plants next to rosemary plants also help keep bees calm:)
@@jacquelinewelch2033 I have not heard that but I always have lots of bees on the Lavender bushes
Thanks for the helpful tips. 🎈🦋
With a wood stove and fireplace, I've learned to put raw honey on burns immediately and I never blister. Works every time 👍😁
God is good… all the time… and I learn so much from your videos… Thank you for sharing your knowledge…✨
My daughter made lavender cookies. They were delicious!
I made lavender lemonade for my daughters wedding & it was a hit.
That sounds good.🎈🦋
I never put volatile essential oils directly on my skin, however I do keep a bundle of lavender on my table and when I feel anxious or have an annoying headache, I simply shake the flowers, releasing their natural oils into the air and it does help alleviate symptoms.
Lavender essential oil is wonderful for wasps and bees stings. I have lavender essential oil in my purse and bug out bag.
God bless you and your family 🙏🤗🐕🐾🐾🐈🐾💗
Love Lavender. I put it in my DIY Lip balm, but then use it for rubbing it on my temples when I feel a headache coming on, it really does work, like you said. I put a few drops on a little Cedarwood circle I have that's hanging on the headboard, as it aids restful sleep, it's truly Magical stuff.
TFS, & take care too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
My toddler just eats the flower straight from the plant lol thanks for all your knowledge. Bless you and yours.
Your knowledge about herbs is so appreciated! I've changed many areas of my life for the better, mind body & spirit, and I've knew much of what is available to us is beneficial, but haven't had the chance to learn new things (to me, anyway) until that past several months. Thank you for hiving me a chance to learn more! 🥰❤️🙏🏽🌿🕊 Love & Blessings to you and yours in the Name of The Most High
Best SUN SCREEN is lavender and helichrysum ( I do 10 drops each) mixed in carrier - Spritz on and it is wonderful. Thanks for all your teachings!
Lavender is my favorite herb, I always add it to my tea blends, tfs all the other uses, blessings
I love growing lavender and harvesting it ..there is just so many things you can do with it and the smell 💓 I love rosemary too for the smell and ti use in many foods. Thanks Heidi enjoyed this video.
I’ve used Lavender oil on burns. A & D ointment works good too. It had vitamins A & D in it. A pharmacist told me about it when my son got mild burns from a car radiator and that was before I learned about lavender oil. It’s good with epsom salt to put in water for chickens to soak in too, especially if their egg bound or you suspect they might be egg bound.
Lavender tea is calming. Holding an aromatic warm cup in quiet house can make a restful evening. I've been thinking on lavender, honey, ginger, elderberry lozenges and syrup with lemon. They are powerful in their own rights. So not sure where the balance is but I'm thinking don't ruin it with Lavender. Less is more.
I tend to get carried away with my blends but I love seeing how different things come out. Some are great with a lot and some I prefer very simple, like the mojito mint with catnip when I need to destress
Heidi, I love Lavender tea! I have not tried it as and Extract/ Tincture, I will have to try that. When I get all stressed out I use Lavender or Cedarwood helps me a lot. Thank you for more good information from you my dear friend. 😁
Lavender is amazing at stopping nosebleeds. My daughter at very young age started getting nose bleeds... just out of the blue. The doctor said her capillaries in her nose are close to the surface and to just pinch off to stop. But this often took 15-20 minutes to end. Then in church she had a heavy bleed I carried out because she started to cry. A visitor who happened to be a nurse followed us out to help. She told us to get lavender oil and just put a drop or 2 on your finger gently rub it on the outside of the nose... not the inside. She had some and we tried it and in less than a minute it stopped!! Today she gets them less frequently...mostly at season changes. She/I always have it on hand for the unexpected nosebleed.
O wow, that is good to know! When I was 9 I had a nose bleed that last 45 minutes. It was insane. I felt fine but it just would not stop. It has started in Ballet class and then after mom took me home, it just kept going and going. So weird. Then in my second pregnancy I would get nose bleeds constantly. One time it happened at a funeral service and I was so embarrassed because it would not stop. Ugh!
Hello Heidi, it's been a long time since I've watched. I took a media break. Lavender is my favorite herb 💜 and I just learned a bunch of new things about it!
Lol after killing so many lavender plants I've given up, but if you get it established its amazing. I found a wild mint that smells enough like lavender that I've settled for that instead.
I'm going to try to get mine to germinate over the winter and maybe have some next year 🤞🤞. Everyone stay safe and God Bless you and your family from middle GA 🙏 Kendra
I PLANTED LAVENDER NEXT TO OUR GRAPES TO KEEP THE DEER AWAY, AND IT WORKED GREAT. AGAIN TY, AND GOD BLESS YA'LL!
Lavender is awesome
Thanks Heidi, short & sweet. The only thing I have used lavender for (besides the normal bath time, soaps & sprays) was some lavender lemonade I made for my daughters wedding. Everyone loved it. Many Blessings!!
I'll have to try that. It sounds really good.
Would you share your recipe for that please? I made my first fresh lemonade yesterday, and boy was it delicious! 😋
@@TwinkleToes2day I was in a time crunch and used frozen lemonade. To 1 gallon, I floated lemon slices, to another gallon I used a pint of slightly mashed raspberries, and to the 3rd gallon, I added a little more than 1/8 to almost a 1/4 cup lavender blossoms. They sat in the refrigerator overnight. I would say for the lavender, go with a smaller amount, let steep, taste and add more if you think it needs it.
@@blessedbloominghomestead9134 thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to reply so quickly 🙏💐🤩
I agree with you about the lavender leaves being medicinal. I feel that many herbs are well-known for the use of one specific part, while other parts are as, or near as medicinal. I realize this isn't always the case as some herb parts are not medicinal or are even dangerous...or, as in the case of mullein, the root, leaves, and flowers are all useful for different ailments.
I drink a tea blend from HomeGrown Herbalist for sleep, which contains a lot of lavender. While I absolutely detest the smell and flavor of lavender, I LOVE the results, so I use it like medicine~~not as a fun food. lol
Great info~~God bless!
At a lavender farm near me in Norfolk uk I discovered lavender tea (love it), ice cream, scones, sugar, ......wonderful.
I love that you are wearing a pretty lavender colored hair accessory as you talk about lavender! Love the info too!💜
My wife relaxes in a lavender bath every evening.
Sounds dreamy.. were partial to sage baths, it clears out your nose!
My daughter really loves lavender! You listed several ways we can benefit from lavender (a bunch really)! I can’t wait to do a deeper dive into lavender and we will be planting some lavender to harvest for the future. I. The meantime I will order some and get busy. Thank you so much!
Lemon lavender cupcakes are the most delicious bath soap cakes ever
Lavender is good for my anxiety
Yep, I believe I did cover that one :)
Lavander healing balm really helps relieve my migraine. Im falling in love with lavander. Will try lavander tea today.
Good morning Heidi!🍂🍁
Have a blessed day! 💜
Just found you thank you!!! I make infused oils with cannabis and lavender and other herbs and I'm working on making a little descriptive card of each one of the herbs ...your video has helped me to word it out I. My head in a more explicit and easy way ...thank u 💖
Thank you, Heidi. 😃
I keep a jar of lavender by my bed, as well as lavender oil. And drink lavender tulsi tea if i feel depressed. I mix lavender and peppermint at night in a diffuser it knocks me out. Lastly...some lavender oil under the soles of feet for relaxation.
Thank You Heidi for this wonderful Video. Have a BLESSED Day
GM Heidi ☕️☕️. I love lavender, but there are soo many different kinds- fragrances for it. Some are really unpleasant 😔. I’ve tried growing it here … it just doesn’t like the Hot/Cold/ Wind 🌬 in my area. So I just buy it lol.
Have a great day👵🏻👩🌾❣️
English lavender, in my opinion, is best when it comes to aroma. It is my favorite. There are some that I find the smell unpleasant and the leaves do not have that nice flavor like the English lavender
@@RainCountryHomestead Hmm, I’ll have to try that one. I’ve bought them at a big box store but it just doesn’t like it here lolol. I will keep trying & make sure that it’s English lavender.
Thanks Heidi…. I enjoyed my morning coffee ☕️ with you 👵🏻👩🌾❣️🌻
A drop or two on a cotton ball for an ear infection will draw out the infection. Don't put the oil in the ear just on the cotton ball.
I wonder if that works on dogs as well?
@@Traci.Patterson No I wouldn't used it on dogs ears,or cats. But I have used it with lemon grass and lavender and peppermint oil in a spray bottle for fleas and flies and mosquitoes for when my dogs are outside mostly in the summer months. If your dog has infection in the ears you have to change their food. My dog went through that for a couple years before I realized it was the food. The first ingredient of a dog's food has to be some kind of meat chicken or lamb it's the gluten in the dog foods and the byproducts of meat that cause the problem. I noticed a difference in my dog's ears within about 10 days by changing their food. But when you change your dog's food you have to give him half new food half old food for the first week because otherwise they could develop a running stool.
I have so many wild medicinal’s and herbs in my garden and 3 acre yard but lavender is not one of them although I love it! I had some at my last smaller yard more in the city. 😊
Very helpful and informative. Thank you for this!
Hello Heidi, thank you for this video. I have been interested in essential oils lately. I put mine into a roller bottle with a carrier oil of almond. I have one that is my favorite. Lavender and lemongrass. I also have one for immune system. Thank you for the tincture video you made a while ago. I made an echenaciea and elderberry tincture. It's wonderful 😍 and keeps my family healthy. Blessings.
Hello Heidi I use Lavender to help me relax and sleep a few drops on my pillow at night ☕️ helps also.
Good informational video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you Heidi ❤️
After a migraine I experience brain fog I'm open to try Lavender and rosemary
Great video! I learned some new uses of lavender:) I use it in a tea and I also have it in essential oil. I want to grow it in a garden and dry it this next Spring.
Definitely helps with sinus issues and headaches.
Lavender grows great here! Thank you!
I love lavender. Use it all the time.💚💜
You always have great info! I love lavender and heard it helped with relaxation! It is my favorite scent! Use it all the time! But I never thought about being purposeful about using it for headaches! Going to start! 💙💙
Wow, thank you Heidi, my Mother has advanced dementia and I’m going to try lavender for her! Can you recommend a product that I could use?
If you want essential oil, I buy either Now brand or Vitacost brand from Vitacost or from Plant Thereapy.
I agree with Tracy, I have not tried Vitacost brand oils but I would trust them. I have always used NOW and have heard good things about Plant Therapy. No need to spend high dollar on Multi Level Marketing brand oils, especially ones with shady backgrounds
@@RainCountryHomestead Plant Therapy also has spec sheets for their oils and they are involved with Robert Tisserand (name may not be spelled correctly), and he’s an expert on Essential Oils.
Lavender is my fav plant 2 grow and use. Have transplanted over a hundred babies at one of my garden buddies property that reseeded in my new border gardens yrs ago and now they reseed in her lawns like weeds.
Smells heavenly she says while mowing! 😊
I can't seem 2 find yr lavender infused oil video, can u give me the link here please. Thanks
Back 30 yrs ago when I grew my 1st lavender plants all that was mentioned medicinal for her use was calming and 2 help one sleep.
Well that was enough reason for me 2 want 2 grow it but the smell was intoxicating so I'm still planting new ones all the time.
Never heard about hair growth, where did you learn about that Heidi?
@R A Thank you…I really hope it helps!
I would feel better if she didn’t think I was a stranger…
Today i jist trying swolling 1 tea spoon of lavender for my severe anxiety. It helps a lot, and i hope it will work long time
I'm have a severe headache fr Rosemary & am chemically reactive, but can use baby products w lavender. It really helps me go to sleep easily
I have used lavender on my dog for a wound he had chewed. Dogs hate the taste and it was kinder than putting one of those plastic collars around his neck. It also helped in healing the wound.
Turpentine is also good for those same reasons
Well apparently I already watch this video! Can you tell I am on a lavender roll? I have some growing in my aero garden that I’ve been using for tea but I am also trying to grow a lot more for the 3 acre property. I see I left a comment! I’ll leave another comment for the algorithm have a great day Heidi!🙂🌱
Very nice video.thank you... Im trying to grow lavender clones. Also started making tinctures of my abundant plantain and gotu kola.
Good things in coments
I make extract of lavender n mint in merlot wine. Been a month. I took 2 tsp in bit water and completely calmed my over active mind and cleaned me out so to speak in bathroom. Find it too heavy straight. Nice to have it in cupboard
God is always good👍 dear ❤❤god bless you❤
I watched three or four of your videos this morning, and liked ALL of them. I noticed that YT took away the like I left on another video, and decided to check yours. ALL of the likes were removed, as if I had never watched the videos. I watched them, liked the, and left comments, as well. I went back and hit the like button on all of your vids from this morning, but they don't stay. I hope you'll submit this to them.
In a couple months I'll be seed starting some lavender Jan or Feb 2022, but it would be easier to direct seed it so maybe I'll try doing both. I can't wait grow my own supply of this wonderful & versatile herb 🌸🌿🌸🌿 .
With lavender, I find it best to start in a pot indoors in late winter. Plant several seeds too as germination tends to be low
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks for the tip Heidi! Have a nice weekend! 😊
WOW 🥰
Thanks Heidi.
Happy Friday 🥰
Nice presentation on the benefits of Lavender! I read where Lavender repels mosquito,s?
Many herbs, especially stronger smelling ones, will repel mosquitoes
Hi I really like the leaves for tea . Thanks❤
Any tips on growing lavender from seed? I have a terrible time doing that.😭
Yes, it can be tricky and even though most of my plants were purchased as starts, I have done it successfully. I start then in small pots indoors in late winter/early spring then move them out to the green house when it is warm enough out there or you can leave them inside until it is warm enough to set the pot outside. They can be pretty slow growing, at least they are here, in the first year. Then once they get at least 6" in height you can transplant in the ground or simply move to a bigger pot for a time. Eventually they still will do best in the ground but also do not like too much water
I forgot to add that I start with several seeds because germination rates are low on lavender.
I was curious about that too. Lavender is one of the few seeds I know of that requires light to germinate. I think I would start the seeds inside and mist them until they sprout. The variety you choose might depend on your growing zone.
Yep, as noted in above comments (we were likely commenting at the same time! haha!) , they are best started inside and even then germination rate can be low so always start with several seeds
I can't remember for sure as it's been a few years since I've done this, but I think lavender is one of the seeds that, after you mist the seeds on top of the soil, you lay clear plastic wrap over it, lightly touching it. Leave the plastic on until you see the seeds have germinated, then raise it to the top of the seed container for a few more days, creating a humidity dome, before taking it off. I think stevia and rosemary were the other herbs I did that with to get seeds to germinate. If you have an established plant, you can propagate it by bending over the stems to touch the soil, using a piece of wire bent in a u shape to hold the stem in place and then lightly burying the stems where they touch. When the stem is then rooted, cut it off from the main plant and plant where you want it. Don't forget to pull the wire out.
I’m really interested in the lavender/rosemary combination but I’m not understanding how to use/make it. Orally, infuser, topical? My daughter has had 2 concussions from car accidents in the last 2 years and I think she could benefit from its use.
I was referring to mixing the two essential oils and using them only as aroma therapy. Placed under the nose and rubbed into the temples. Even though I used them neat (straight, undiluted) in very small amounts at a time, it is recommended to dilute in a carrier oil such as coconut, avocado, olive, whatever.
Lavender and 🐓. Love lavender to calm me down.
Thank you !
I love your honesty about herbs! Do you sell different herbs or only the seeds?
Just the seeds, I need a lot of of the herbs for ourselves and for my skin creams I sell so I do not have much or any left to sell.
Heidi - have you ever used Coleus for medicinal purposes (or known anyone who did). I don't get much of a garden due to our altitude, ever present hungry deer, and a very short growing season. But I do have a few things growing (some inside) that research seems to indicate having medicinal qualities. I value your opinion! Bless you my sister in Jesus!
I personally have not used it nor looked into it at all so I cannot say anything about it
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks. Figured it was a long shot anyway, but no harm in asking :-) Have a great weekend!
Well don’t you look beautiful today. Good information as always. Thank you!
How long have you had your laundry wringer??

UPDATE: I refreshed my YT after the below comment, and I decided to check, again. The likes were kept.
I’m doing research about linalool the terpene in lavender. Does anyone know if lavender can prevent seizures?
I don't know, but would like to. My son has epilepsy.
Heidi, I love your channel and benifit so much from the knowledge your share. You most surely have an annointed for teaching.
If you simply can not use lavender (or eucalyptus) what other herb would you suggest?
Depends on what specifically you are needing it for. Most herbs have many benefits, just like lavender, but what remedy are you looking for specifically?
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you so much for responding. I was hope to find an herb to use for relaxation and headaches. I usually use peppermint, which I love, but it gives one of my daughters migraines. I can handle light amounts of lavender, but that gives my other daughter migraines.🤷♀️
@@juneday1605 she made a tincture with Rosemary in a past video. I made it abs tried it when I recently has a headache. The headache was gone in less than 10 minutes and never came back.
@@cgc1581 Thank you!
💗
Well shoot,yt doesn't allow me to add a photo (recipe)...
I served lavender scones for ten years at a Christmas high tea for over 175 people... Stupid yt 😊
I keep hoping that youtube will up their game in comments to allow photos. I have wanted to post photos in comments many times!
@@RainCountryHomestead I will get the recipe added once I get my coffee (it's 7:30 here)
Yes please!
Lavender Scones:
2 c flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 Tbsp butter
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp fresh lavender OR 1 tsp dried lavender florets
2/3 c milk, extra for glazing
Preheat oven to 425*. Grease and flour baking sheet. Sift dry ingredients and place in mixing bowl. Combine butter into dry ingredients and cut in until fine crumb mixture is formed. Stir in lavender, sugar, and enough milk until dough is sticky. Turn onto floured surface. Shape dough into 12 biscuits (scones). Place shaped dough onto prepared baking sheets. Brush dough with milk and sprinkle with lavender on top. Bake 10-12 minutes. Makes 12.
I double the recipe to make a standard biscuit size. I use a drinking glass or biscuit cutter to cut the scones or you can take a circle and cut 'pie' wedges and place separately to bake.
They are wonderful served with clotted cream, whipped cream, or cool whip in a pinch and jam.
My favorite jam is harvest pumpkin, lemon curd, or apricot pineapple...
Love it❤️
Unfortunately Lavender gives me migraines, the scent that is. So rather reluctant to try in other ways. Before I found out that it was one of the things that triggered my migraines I liked it.
If you have only used in the form of scented candles and such, yes, those give many people headaches because it is a synthetic perfume being used, not the real thing. I could never handle synthetic floral smells, they gave me headaches and made me feel ill but the real thing actually eases headaches
@@RainCountryHomestead Mainly in soap and a lavender stick that my Grandmother used to relieve my migraines with only made me sicker . Lavender and scent not the only triggers, I have less migraines now, had them since I was about 10 and I'm 61 now. For some people it may help but for me it doesn't, I have wished it did as at one point I bought a whole lot of Lavender buds to make sachets for my drawers and give as gifts. I have tried over the years to reintroduce it all with the same result. Nettle tea I enjoy even made a hair rinse.
I just love Lavender, but I cant get it to grow no matter how I try. The Rosemary, which is a similar plant grows just fine. I think it is the humidity here I live near Savannah, Ga. Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?
Lavender works best to grow from seed if started in a small pot indoors but even then, germination rate is low so plant a lot of seed so you will get at least a few starts.
Hi Sally, maybe Epic Gardener can help, or you could google of course. This is his video about Lavender, 5 Tips to Growing Lavender Perfectly No Matter Where You Live : th-cam.com/video/T1tXOJfG7kw/w-d-xo.html
I live just 2 hours south of you (1st exit in FL), and have the same problem. Mine has died back, but I'm going to leave it and see if it comes back in the spring.
I buy plants that are already started and growing, when I keep them in the pot, they die, and when I tried to grow them in the ground, they also die. Too much water, died, cut back water, still died.
Hi sweet lady, I'm planning on planting lavender this coming spring. I have found that there're multiple varieties of lavender. What is your advice on the best variety to grow?
My personal favorite is English lavender
Do you use a particular lavender?
Which kind of lavender do you use, I was looking on line at seed companies, only to discover there are many different kinds of lavender
I grow a few different varieties but I recommend English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Good morning beautiful world are you lavender for every for everything for myself by myself I make my oils and grow up with lavender plants around when I was a child the best for relax yourself even if you have peace smell the aroma what is Magic magic people your system inside understand it❤❤❤😂😂❤❤❤❤
I love to grow lavender , but they all die. Anyone can give me any tips on how to grow them.? Appreciate.
If you live in a very wet area like we do, you need to make sure you are growing t hem in an area that stays more protected from rain while still getting plenty of sun or at least grow in very loose soil.
Can I use the "older" leaves as well? I would like to harvest more leaves and USE/STORE them before our freezes kill them in New England!
A lot of times leaves from herbs and berries this late in the season can have very little benefit and it may not be worth saving at this time, however, if they still taste good in tea, no reason why not
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you! Honestly, even just smelling them makes me feel better :)
What is the best lavender to buy and do I buy plants or seeds to grow.
It depends on the person but I prefer English lavender
How many drops for internal based on your experience? The oil version
I do not take the oil internally

I have question beautiful woman
Can we use lavender oil for beard and head hair ??? Because hair slowly become white
You can but I do not know that it will reverse graying, which is simply just a part of life
I see ... thanks dear for replying me
How would we use it for hair? My lavender is finally thriving, along with my rosemary. If i jist make a tea, i suspect it wouldnt keep for very long. Tincture? Im not sure what to do first.
Infuse in oil for a leave in treatment or make a vinegar for a conditioning hair wash: th-cam.com/video/XQ2O-pt1EVs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Heidi.
Do you bruise the leaves prior to using the leaves for tea!
Not usually but sometimes I do, with the lavender, no, I do not bother
Can herbs be effective if gathered after the first frost?
It would really depend on the herb. Some not so much but others, like calendula, yes
