He never fails to do it right. I'm so glad and grateful for how he teaches respect for the plants. How he acknowledges how it's used here and all the other people and traditions that use this.
Here in Latvia there's insane amounts and we live in a peat area so bogs everywhere. With my little girl we always keep rubbing the leaves between our hands and sniffing it and now we've learnt so much. My 5-year-old is an absolute fan of yours, she's saying you're like the wise old elf ( it's a compliment, she says I'm old, too so please no offence 🤣) and if you say we should pick it now then we should get going. So off we go on a bog adventure to the local woods. Many many thanks for bringing more magic into our life and sending you lots and lots of love and appreciation from Latvia ♥️ BTW we've picked lots of conkers, here the local elderly pick them every year claiming how beneficial it is and we picked a few buckets of it and made a conkers pit in which we march for a foot massage or just hang out in it to read stories. The locals use it externally with vodka but also carry it in their pockets and put them in the bed. I wonder if you use them at all. Anyway, huge respect Sir Wise Old Elf, you're awesome ♥️
@@happyrapture1370 many thanks ♥️ the little one is very proud of her knowledge and keeps teaching her little friends about the plants with lots of passion ❤️ when out on a walk or bike ride she keeps observing, noticing, acknowledging and it keeps her entertained - never bored. For her, bumping into plants is like bumping into friends and checks on them how they are doing and if they look ok or anything interesting about them. This is so important I think because other kids are bored outside without entertainment, gadgets and toys because they have no connection and are overstimulated in general. Nature is always calming and comforting and the least a parent can do is to encourage kids to find connection and entertainment even if there's no apps, screens or gadgets just beautiful Mother Nature 💚 will make this a better world if the next generation has a bond with plants 💚 Yarrow is making learning entertaining and his videos are priceless, the kind of screen time that you watch for 10 minutes, then you spend the entire day outside 💚
@@reforest4fertility I am blessed beyond description. We live in a village that was built in the middle of wild dense woodland in the 50s when the Soviets discovered there's peat here. Before that there was no houses or village just wilderness. Then the Soviet Union collapsed, they made this into a nature reserve and since then no new houses got built so we still have a tiny community with forest as far as you can see around us. There's only 1 road leading to us. No through roads... Even if you drive it takes about 30min to get to a busier road and see signs of humans. first I came to visit in 2013 and I knew I have to live here. Took me a few years of working hard in the UK and saving up to make the brave jump and say I had enough, I leave my business and career behind, the forest is calling me and my daughter was tiny, I knew I want her to not miss out on growing up in nature. So all I worked hard for in my profession I left behind scared and not knowing how long we last or what is going to happen. The best decision I ever made. My kid is having the fairy magic wild and free childhood I wanted for her and it is priceless. Scary decisions can lead to incredible destinations and magical adventures.
Labrador should always be steeped, never boiled! Too many terps can cause your bowels to relax too much and we all know the embarrassment that may cause. A few spruce candles will give it a slight citrus taste but I usually steep mine with several small Cedar sprigs and use a small marble sized piece of Maple sugar for sweetness! I enjoy your Eco-tours and look forward to seeing more! Thank you!
When I was a teen, I loved to hike & sometimes, I used to grab one of these leaves and pop it in my mouth. I had no clue what it was until much later in life, it just seemed a proper thing whilst I was out & about. Cheers to share this!!!
I drank it last night and had clearer dreams (I always dream) with more self control. I also noticed it took away a headache I was developing. I'm buying more today.
I am Swampy Cree from northern Manitoba and this was always around and used by alot of people this plant always reminds me of home seeing it hanging to dry near a fire stove or in rafters of a cabin/home its a amazing medicine. also was mixed with inner pine bark the thin white parts sometimes too.
I’m a wild forager in the Pacific Northwest. I’m sure this grows abundantly there, but never knew about it. Looking forward to adding this to my herbal repertory! Thanks! 💚🌿
Yet another enlightening video! Respect & gratitude to the plants and our teacher! Living in Nor Cal this is my goto for information & education. Thank you!!
Thank you; you are amazing! Never heard of this but taking notes. As I live in western WA should be able to find some. Learning foraging from you is very interesting and much appreciated! 👵💞🌲🍃🍃
One of my favourites!! 💗 So significant in my culture as a Métis person. Picked some leaves in September but someone threw them out, not knowing what it was... I’m hoping to find more shortly!
This was shot gorgeously! Even if I wasn't interested in the topic, I would have watched the whole thing. Well done! I have lots of this in my backyard, and now I can't wait for spring to give it a try. Thanks for making these videos
Yes, dose is everything. I've noticed since I started using castor oil, cuz here in Canada we've got Both French & Inklish labelling. Called "Ricin" in French, only goes to show how many medicinals are toxic in high or isolated form, so a little can go a longer way.
Excellent info, fellow herbalist! I learned of this plant's properties from my Cherokee Grandmother forty plus years ago... post chemotherapy I suffered from Candida overgrowth. I'll try some.
Thanks so much for your generous sharing of all your amazing knowledge. Your kindness and gentle spirit is so welcoming during these upside down times. 🙏
Grows in abundance around our base camp. I absolutely love this medicine, thanks for sharing and remember people with this one know your limit, it's not hard to "accidentally" get wasted 🤣
Wow thanks Herbal Jedi for sharing this beautiful plant! I live in eastern Ontario Canada so maybe I will be lucky enough to find this beauty on my land! Wish me luck 🇨🇦💜
Thank YOU so so so much Yarrow❣️it has been many years scince I've harvested this plant .a native friend introduced me to gathering these leaves along with blueberry leaves and a few other plants I don't remember to make my own Kinninckinik blend .which I also added sage lavender and mint even with a bit if shake and tobacco...I NEVER new any of these other brilliant and vast applications and medicinal uses.As someone with bipolar OCD anxiety PTSD and seasonal mood crunches it totally makes scence as a plant sensitivio🙃or plant whisperer lol similar to yourself only without the more technical knowledge of our endless plant Kingdom and Queendom 🌿🙃🌿sooo yes again ...much gratitude for your constant valuable shareing and teaching ...I am very gratefull❣️🧡🍂💚❣️
When I first started learning about traditional medicine, muskeg tea was the first one I started with. One day I woke up and decided I would have muskeg tea to start my morning, I ended up having 3 cups before 10 am, and by that time I was out by 3 pm. So, I only drink a cup now, some days, I’ll boil it longer when I have bad insomnia or anxiety. Very strong medicine.
Always have been curious to know more about labrador tea. Thank you for your video. It was very informative. I'm going to go out and try to source it this weekend. I'm looking forward to it. Take care.
Love your channel. I am in New Zealand. We don't have some of your plants. I can't find golden rod. But I have found many u have reviewed. Labrador reminds me of our hebe.
Such a great plant , not been able to source this herb , any recommendation in where to purchase ? I live in California Thank you for the thorough info as always
I was kayaking in a lake with a bog on one side of it, beautiful area northern minnesota, and came alongside some labrador tea, I forgot the name, and thought to myself, bog rosemary? It really does look like a rosemary leaf. I wish while we were there I would've picked a bit! Darn.
Awesome. We have lots where I live here in northern bc. Just learned about it through a foraging course. Wondering if it can be used for dogs in any way also?
Cool, what a great way to end my evening. I absolutely love your videos. I wish I had your knowledge. I really admire you for the respect you have for mother nature. Kindred spirits in many ways. I was ALWAYS in the woods or forest that surrounds me and just learning about foraging and what herbs could do as medicine. Then unfortunately badly injured my back around 10 yrs ago. Now can barely walk to my kitchen. Have been searching for a surgeon without much luck that thinks they can help me. BUT (crossing my fingers) I think I might have finally found one. I see her Monday. I have to have faith bc taking me out of nature was/is killing my soul... Anyway I was wondering if you could recommend (someone like you) that has written a book about southwestern Ohio on how to identify and what benefits local plants, herbs and what my mom would call weeds in this area. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT I WILL WALK IN THESE WOODS AGAIN!!! I realize that I can buy these things online but as I am now, I'm trying to make ends meet on a very low fixed income. And buying them takes all the fun out of it... Thanks Yarrow~
@@bryantrepanier6833 holy shit what s coincidence. I watched Earthing maybe 6-7 months ago and subbed. Then they had a live video and chat tonight. I was just on my way outside barefooted and thought I'd grab my phone... Weird!
Got the intro to this from the Ojibwe people. Enjoy both both north and the Arctic one. Arctic is more spicy or something. You can purchase Tea n Bannock in Toronto
I recently identified some plants near the lake as labrador tea. I will have to try drinking it. :D Thanks. Also, what sort of satchel bag is that on your side? Where is it available to purchase?
Asian version of it known as energetic but you say -its relaxing.... So, is it morning or night tea? I tried many times and it didnt energies me at all...
around where i live in western Washington i do know where to find Labrador Tea BUT it also grows right next to Bog Laurel which they look so much alike it stopped me from picking any as Bog Laurel is poisonous. Both are really beautiful while blooming.
Great videos I have three questions 1- you said it has an outstanding aroma can you describe it, 2- you said you make mead with this plant, can you give more details on the process I'm very interested in making a batch and for the last one 3- is this plant considered a weed. Thanks again
I recently found a whole bunch! The ones I found were low to the ground, not tall like in your video. It’s Jan, but the temp has been very mild and some days warm. Not too much snow around. Is it safe to gather in this mild winter time?
I just gathered today, mid January. I would like to to know if you found it wad okay to use when harvested in winter. For me it seems to be easier to harvest in winter. As the bog is frozen and easier to enter.
Thank you for that useful information. I came across a large patch just yesterday and harvested as you do. Would you say that this could help pain/inflammation in joints? If so, how would you administer it - as a tea to be taken internally or as a wash or infused oil to be applied directly to the joint(s)?
Is this the same herb also known as Ceanothus ? I am trying to ID what we have growing here in the Kootenays. It has the high terpene/volatile oil content judging from the aroma. The leaves curl inward during the winter months and it does have that rodo leave structure BUT it tends to grow on VERY HOT & DRY hillsides? and the bushes can get MASSIVE (8 - 10 ft tall) Is this safe to harvest into tea, or is it possibly a different species? Hoping you, or someone can help a sista out. Peace & Ease
Love your channel but could you not put out the videos to coincide with when the plants are out not a plant that you cant get in october which blooms in July. That way we can pick them after watching and not forget about it when July comes around again. Thank you love the info.
Monique Janssen this is a plant that is best picked in the fall or spring. It’s just that the flowers bloom mid summer and that’s an easy way to identify it, but that’s not the best time to pick it.
@@Herbal_Jedi thank you for your response I'll have a look out for them. I'm a beginner at this but have always been interested in plants since a child I was always tasting flowers and other things. Love your channel appreciate all your teachings.
Just throw a couple leaves into hot water just below boiling point and steep for 3 to 5 minutes stirring a couple times. Depending on when it's harvested and the age of the leaves the potency can vary its best to start with just a couple leaves per cup. After you have done this a couple times if you feel confident you can add more then step it up one leaf at a time

I've forgot about labador tea.... I'll have to get some soon
I was wondering if you brew it strong could you use if as a hand sanitizer because of its antibacterial properties and antimicrobial properties?
Cedar works really great for this and is very abundant, lab tea is a slow growing plant take care not to over harvest.
Wish I had a cool rustic soundtrack playing when I go foraging, I'd feel less like a bum picking weeds lol
