I can't believe that Comfrey was not included, or was it? I know you mentioned it. I would never be without that one. It's called "Knitbone" as it helps mend broken bones, or "knits them back together." It also makes a great fertilizer for your garden plants. You soak it in a bucket of water to make comfrey tea for your plants. I saw that you may have had a packet of Lamb's Ears. They used those during the Civil War as bandages, to help soak up blood. I always grow that, and it is so soft and beautiful. I've grown and used herbs for over 30 years, and I love teaching people about them. Sweet Basil is one of my very favorite! Thank you for sharing this!!
Comfrey is amazing! She talked about it in a video last season, which led me to trying to find some. We made a poultice out of it for a jaw issue over the summer. Never knew much about lambs ear- great to know!
I don't think comfrey can be grown from seed... I had to buy root cuttings online to grow some. Etsy.
She mentioned comfrey when she mentioned calendula about 9:00 if that helps!
I had no idea. My 7 yr old broke his arm pretty bad 2 weeks ago. I wish I had some
You can also let your livestock eat it! They won't die 😉
Toothache plant can be used other places than your mouth! I used it as a spit poultice on my hand once after stuffing some canning jars full of jalapeno peppers bare handed (bad idea!) I had to go out in the heat and work in the garden afterwards and my hands were on fire! I had toothache plant in the garden and I chewed some up and spit it on my hands. I left it for a minute or two and the pain was gone! It only lasts about 20-30 minutes though. So keep that in mind.
I have also used it for toothache and it does work wonders! Don't swallow it though! You'll have a very tingly throat. Not a good sensation in my opinion, although I have heard that it is used in asian cooking! Very cool plant!
The toothache plant can also be used to relieve pain from bee stings and bite from ants, horse flies, mosquitos, etc.
Strictly Medicinals is my medicinal seed source of choice. My latest order just arrived today. 🎉
You must add comfrey. A broken bone will heal so much faster, but it also acts as an anesthetic. Which, if you have a broken bone, you will definitely appreciate. Boil the root for 10-15 min and apply externally.
Where is the best place to source comfrey?
I grow comphrey bc it’s a pretty plant but other than healing broken bones does it have any other benefit?
I am taking a comprehensive herbal course by Dr. Patrick Jones and according to him, all species of yarrow work the same. His courses are fantastic and he is so knowledgeable because of his research and years of practice.
This is one of your best videos. Please produce more content like this. Thank you!
More to come!
Plantain was my "gateway" plant that led me down the rabbit hole of medicinal plants and herbalism. It's great for food too, the seed stalk, when green and tender is delicious sautéed in a pan with butter, like asparagus.
Right?? Mine was dandelion! Who knew some of these 'weeds' that we consider annoying could be so beneficial?
Remind folks to check interactions with any medications they're taking - for instance, st john's wort is awesome but does reduce effectiveness of the birth control pill, among other things. Always make sure to check!
Girl.. YESSSS. The amount of natural things I shouldn't take due to my autoimmune issues. I ended up in the hospital because I was taking elderberry syrup lol. I now do so much research before ingesting anything
GREAT advice, thanks for sharing
@@ontariogardeningI’m shocked that elderberry has negative impact on autoimmunity? Yikes I have hashimotos and I planted an elderberry tree!
Also St. John's Wort is often taken for depression but do not take it with pharmaceutical antidepressants as it can cause major issues! I am certain that most people will have done their research before consuming all herbal products! ❤
Self-heal is an amazing weed to think about. Protects from uva-uvb rays and many more attributes. Sure worth while growing. 🤩♥️🇨🇦
I love your channels focus. Holistic wellness and medicinal herbs are a great focus for gardening and homesteading. I appreciate the information you’re sharing.
I’m glad you find it helpful
A local ice cream place here makes a lavender honey ice cream that is absolutely amazing.
I ORDERED OTHER SEED FROM MEDICINAL GARDEN KIT IT COMES WITH ALL MEDIOINAL SEEDSIT ALSO COME WITH BOOK SHOWING HOW TO MAKE STUFF WITH SEEDS
Note to all : grow your oregano in a container ! I didn't know it was in the mint family and it took over one of my raised beds and I had to shovel the plant out haha!
Great tip!
I grow lemon balm, horehound, plantain and feverfew.
I'm offering a bunch of these plants that I grew from seed to offer to my community. I've included Self Heal, Borage, Mullein, Feverfew, Vervain and Clary Sage on top of many of the ones you mentioned
Propolis is a game changer for me this year for respiratory.
I'm starting a bunch of these this year! I feel like drying herbs and making teas is the most approachable for me at this point... I haven't made a salve yet.
Basil has triggered some of my worst migraines which is such a bummer! Even just cutting it in the garden is a trigger. 🤦🏼♀️
Oh, that's so disappointing. I recently found out that a lot of my gastrointestinal problems is caused by corn, and popcorn is one of my favorite snacks. I commiserate!
I'm so glad that I'm not to late at starting my medicinal seeds. I've been waiting for the last freeze here since I dont have a greenhouse.
Thank you Jill! Be Blessed Dear Lady! Thanks for sharing all you learn.
I just built a 100*100*40 greenhouse I will be using for my medicinal plant
You will have plenty of space to grow whatever you need
Good Morning🌻
Watching as I’m starting more medical herbs!!! 🤩
Great list! We have common Purslane in our backyard which is often overlooked. Last year we made a tincture out of it (using vodka), and use it topically for anti-fungus. When Jill says Caledula folks- LISTEN! We made a salve and WOW; will never need to buy Polysporin again.
Awesome video! One of your best. St Johns wart what a great idea
I love the Survival seeds.
I got that exact same seed kit and it is awesome😊
I bought so many of these seeds.. planting them tomorrow I hope... I'm a quilter too. love basil and Rosemary is my favorite
My girls have been making a nettle, lavender, and honey “laté” over the last 6 ish months. It’s just infused in steamed milk. They love it so much.
Down in zone 8a here. I had three lavender plants last year and one died, one over wintered outside just fine in a small raised bed and another I actually dug up and put in the greenhouse. It lived, but the one outside that over wintered looks the best. I hope you are able to over winter yours!
Thankyou!!!!!
Took notes.. ❤
the plantain husks from the seeds is psyllium husk.
This video was absolutely amazing 😍 thanks so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love love love Basil!! It is the best summer iced tea!
I agree
Thank you for this. I would love to see a video on making salve out if some things.
She did a Calendula Salve video a while back- it is what inspired me to make one of my own. Honestly.. I will never buy Polysporin again!
Your awesome, thank you for sharing 😊
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for such a great informative video 💛
You are so welcome!
So happy to have found your channel
Welcome to our journey ❤️. We are glad you’re here
Thanks for sharing the seed packs, just ordered a few and will be excited to see how well they do.
Hope you enjoy!
Holy basil and culinary basil are not the same. Please look it up if you are going to make medicine.
Love herbs! I've ordered a lot of mine from Strictly Medicinals. I love that they have the latin names on everything as well, I'm very happy with that seed company ❤ They do offer a free catalog if you're interested in checking them out. I'll look at the one you mentioned, too.
One of my favorite remedies that came from my granny is garlic tea. Peel and smash a clove, put it in a cup, pour boiling water over it. Add honey and lemon to taste. (Kids usually don't mind drinking it, mine would even ask for it when they started feeling ill.) Might help with those lingering coughs, too. Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thanks for sharing
I appreciate the information I’m here for self healing! ❤ Never grew medicinal herbs before but, I am up for the challenge! Thank you for the video. Very helpful
Looking forward to jumping into holistic and herbal remedies in my garden this year! Thanks for the video!
Wonderful!
Hello Jill and thank you for another great video! It was so nice meeting you in person last weekend at the “Farm Where you Live” event in NC. You are such a kind, down to earth person with so much knowledge to share ❤ Love learning from you
Thank you for your kind words and for coming to say hello. I hope you walked away from the event inspired and ready to tackle your goals
Great variety of herbs for medicinal and culinary use. ✅
Yes they are!
I just bought your book..it was in our local garden centre and I love it🌻
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you 🙏
I'm in central Arkansas as well!
toothache plant is the coolest! I don't use it much, but it's amazing how it numbs immediately! I've used it for the ulcers I sometimes get in my mouth! It numbs the mucus membrane, so any mouth sore!
Lemon Balm also! It's a perennial for me! So good for wellness!!
Used toothache plant for both my teething babies 🥰❤
Good Morning Jill! Thanks for sharing all this wonderful information! I have a flower bed for my daughter and am trying to start adding more perennials for that, this is so helpful! What do you do about perennial plants with depleting soil levels?? Do you just add the soil and pray the plant pushes through or do you have to dig them up every time you add more soil? Thanks and God Bless!
Hello new subscriber here. Loved this video. I've been watching The Honeystead for a few months. So much information to absorb 🎉
Welcome to our journey ❤️
I miss your veggie gardening. Please show more
Stay tuned for a high tunnel update
PLEASE PLEASE be careful with the St. John's wort! It can have alot of bad side effects! It can increase your heart rate, dizziness, faint, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or make you feel agitated to name a few. I took it years ago for anxiety but it made me sleepy so i quit. Was considering taking it again until i looked it up. Im highly allergic to a lot of meds, and just react differently to over the counter or prescription drugs, so i wont take anything anymore. Trying to use the herbs more instead . Jill you did a great job describing how you use all of these herbs! I agree.. once the smells get you, you're hooked on fresh!
Hypericum is the most amazing plant and can be used topically. And is. I took a conference on that one specific herb with 40 panelists speaking how they use it in their practice.
I was talking about orally not topically to be clear. That's interesting.. To be honest, I've never heard it being used topically. I need to read up on that! Thank you!
Hey Jill❤❤❤
Hey friend ❤️
I got this same seed collection a couple weeks ago. Yours has a few different seeds than mine had. I currently have 43 different herbs growing and always on the lookout for more. I just need more space to grow in.
That is awesome!
Thank you for the video. I had sent you a email before the Okie Homesteading Expo, but never got a reply. I was a vendor also at the show, and I couldn't leave to see your speech and to meet you. I would have loved for you to have come by so I could have met you. Maybe you'll be at next years also, so I will have a chance. I've got a medicinal garden growing on my back patio. I'm having a hard time with Lavener also here in Oklahoma.
I’m sorry I don’t check my email as often as I should. I hope you had a great experience at Okie. We plan to be back next year
The sting in Nettle is medicine for you!!!!
Feverfew is wonderful for headaches.
Would love to see the cottage garden
Coming soon 😉
I’m in Arkansas. The only lavender I have found to do well is phenomenal lavender. I ordered some plugs online. This is my 3rd year and it looks great.
Thanks for the tip
I love this seed kit! I ordered it a few weeks back too!
Does echinacea need to be cold stratified before planting? I read that it does so I didn't put my seeds out this spring.
Also, peppers are really easy to over winter! I just dug up my favorite pepper (sweet mini bell) and put it in a big pot (cattle feed tub) and moved it to the garage. I set it out on warm winter days and it's now 3 years old!
Central TX zone 8b/9.
My calendula came back after the freeze. It didn't have time to self seed, the roots just survived!
you can cold Strat in the freezer and fridge, there's a technique that just takes a couple weeks. Look it up and sow those seeds this season :)
I didn’t cold strat mine. I started them indoors 3/30 and they are already developing their first true leaves.
IT WAS 79.98 FOR 2 PKS OF 36 ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR MY DAUGHTER CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM
I hope you love them. The germination rate was incredible
@@WhisperingWillowFarm I GOT BOTH PKS TODAY CAN'T WAIT TO PLANT ARE ANY OF THE SEEDS PERENNIALS
Great video! Also just a note that lavender has been linked to early puberty in girls so be careful when using around children.
❤
Concerning cayenne pepper. If you are going to save the seeds you need to find out how far away from other types of peppers it has to be so that it doesn't get mixed with those other peppers. Otherwise you will have something different next time you plant that seed. This goes for any pepper.
I have a thyme "bush" that is trying to (or was) spill over the pot it's in and take over my yard🤣😂 I've had it for about 3 years. I just harvested a bunch of it and cut it back. So much thyme! 🤤😋
I am having a rough time growing basil this year! 😢 I've already planted a couple varieties twice. I finally got a single Tulsi sprout the other day. Hopefully I don't kill it. I've never tried Tulsi before. Another I'm trying this year is blue spice. I've got about 5 plants that have sprouted on that but they are yellowing. 😢 Well they were worse the other day, I've been hovering over it for the past few days trying to figure out what I've done. I may have over fed it. I'm really not sure. It's looking better today.
I also have Genovese. I sowed heavy and only got 3 sprouts. They yellowed worse then the blue spice and still aren't looking good 😢 kinda sickly.
This year is the 1st year I've planted A LOT! Not just basil. Before this year I've only done potted plants. This year I've built an in ground garden where I planted brussel sprouts, broccoli(2 varieties catskill and long island), cauliflower, garlic, onions. These are also a 1st try. I also have already planted 3 successions of cilantro. Oregano! 😅 These 2 herbs have taken off in my potted plant garden and both are 1sts as well. I'm so excited just for those 2. I harvested from the cilantro for the 1st time the other day and added it to grilled chicken salad. MmMm. Devine. Believe it or not, I've never tasted cilantro fresh from the home garden. Mm
I had rosemary growing a few years ago when I got the thyme plant and ended up killing it some how and don't even know how. It may have become root bound and I didn't realize it. I had planned to plant it in the ground. We had moved into a rented small lot "temporarily" and planned on moving again when we found land. 5 years later and we are still looking. 😢 We haven't found the forever home yet and I didn't want to plant it in the ground and then have to dig it up again. So. Maybe I should have. I didn't expect to be stuck here this long.
I've tried container growing cucumbers and tomatoes as well with not much success. I got them to grow but they didn't produce much. I always blame it on a black thumb instead of green but I know I just have to put more effort into learning how to speak the plant language. I did very little research until the last few years. Honestly, I thought to grow plants...just stick em in dirt and give them water. Not so much. The soil here is crap and for container plants they need food as well. So.....learning soil health and how to build it. So far ..... It's a lot I have to admit. Can be overwhelming.
Now I am in the process of building a raised bed for my next space from pallets. For tomatoes....I have 7 plants, 4 varieties. I tried to start 2 varieties of cucumber and so far only 1 has sprouted. Trying 1 type of zucchini....hasn't sprouted yet. I'm going to give the 2 types that haven't sprouted another week ...I planted them 1 week ago in seed trays.... Then I'll try 1 more time maybe or just go with what I already have sprouted and run with it. Not sure.
I tried peppermint.... It didn't sprout 😢
I am trying lavender....I think I seen a tiny bit of green the other day. I cold stratified it in my fridge for a monthish. I hope it grows 😢
Anyways! I'm trying. I finally got the courage to try again after months of research. PRAY FOR ME!
THANKS for sharing info with us noobs. 🫂
Lavender was so hard for me to grow it felt like it took forever… then I saw it come up and grow. All the hard work paid off! I was one proud plant momma lol great job on planting! We have some community gardens in our area we have, so I started around 300 seeds so far and want to grow more lol I’m addicted 😅
Will you be offering the Beginners Guide to Growing a Medicinal Garden in paper copy or only as an Ebook?
I think lavender likes to be a little drier, if I remember correctly. Have you tried mulching your lavender and then covering them with a bucket for the Winter?
I haven’t tried the bucket trick, thanks for sharing your tip
May I ask what the team mixture is you give to your kids at night.
Sorry to correct you but Cayenne Pepper you can save the plant in winter as I had one for 7 years but I didn't get snow..Can't see if you dig it out and put inside in a warm place it will look like a stick or dead but it is still alive...feed it and put out when warms up put in good soil and ferti and good luck...😂😂😂
The fda has altered the materia medica after 1980s... which year are you using?
Materia medica?
@@jamiewhittle6300 basically the 'bible' of medicine for all plants and herbs, and their properties. She is basically asking what Jill is referencing for all of the uses of these plants, and where her knowledge is coming from. I think lol. That is how I took it anyways
@@ontariogardening eee not sure fda should go near something like that.
❤❤❤🕊️
By chance does the book cover all growing zones? I’m in zone 9 in NW Florida. Thank you
Yes it does!
@@WhisperingWillowFarm thank you. Heading to the link now
This is good but we are from the island and you r missing so much of what these herbs can do but good start
JUST ORDERED BIG PK MEDACIL SEEDS
How much was it?
@@jamiewhittle6300 I ORDERED 2 80 SOMETHING BUT I GOT 2PKS OF 36 ONE FOR ME & MY DAUGHTER
@@jamiewhittle6300 IT WAS 79.98 BECAUSE I ORDERED 2PKS OF 36
What do you mean when you mulch really well? I’m sorry I’m new at this and trying to learn all the things😁
We mulch around the plants with wood chips or wheat straw
I have Gold Yarrow.. are there medicinal benefits in that?😬💚Happy gardening/farming/herbaling💚
Helps with bruising😊
My oregano, peppermint, rosemary and lemon balm is taking off. Would you suggest to dehydrate all of them to store?
Yes, or tincture
Thank you for the helpful video. It’s very helpful. I have a hard time with watching it though, you sitting so close to the camera that it feels like you’re jumping out of the screen. I’m sorry for the complaint but I figured if I’m struggling with this, maybe others are too. Once again, thank you for all the information. ❤
can not hear you
Same. Audio is always only in one ear... The sound isn't balanced well.
Love the material though.
I use closed captions a lot!!
Check the scientific name of plants before assuming they’re native to your area. I learned this recently.
PLEASE FIX THE SOUND ON THIS VIDEO OR REDO THE VIDEO * tHANKS !
It’s something on your end
No sound for me…🥲
Hey Jill, can ya call Jess and remind her about stinging nettles tea (or soup) for her allergies. She's having an awful time with all the pollen in the air and all over the place. Maybe you two should make a video about this together. Might be fun.
Actually, yeah, that would be a great idea. Lotsa people in her comments also suffering allergies and you could discuss many of the available options, herbal and otherwise.
(One example: Someone in her comments mentioned eating local honey.)
(I wonder how one would fit that into eating a keto/carnivore diet???)
(And is it just me? Am I the only one that notices Jess lost some weight? Is she following the same diet now?)
Anywho, I think I've heard of the survival garden seeds packages before. As I recall they have a good amount of seeds for a decent price. Please let us know how well they germinate, etc. I'm considering a purchase.
as someone who did Keto once upon a time, honey is not the best for it. It's pretty much pure carbs, so definitely eat in moderation! As for stinging nettle for allergies.. now you have my attention! Looking this up ASAP. thank you!
