Thank you ladies for infusing my day with such joy and education. Prior to my mother's passing, we baked, gardened, walked and did most things together when I was able to travel to see her. Like your relationship, ours was filled with love and enthusiasm for what we were presently engaged with. THANK YOU for sharing your recipes and the love that flows between you. God Bless and keep radiating your beautiful light.
I’m sorry that your mother is no longer with you and I’m happy that you thought of her when you watched my mother and I 💛
So sorry to hear that your mom passed. Hold on to all your beautiful memories! I'm with you on that my mom is my best friend and would be lost without her.😇❤
@@amandaamossaa Thank you for you lovely comment. I am so blessed that after a traumatic brain injury that I did regain many of my memories from the early part of my life and the memories with my mother have helped aid me through my continuous recovery.
Like the relationship I had with her, my daughter is my best friend. God Bless you for your lovely comment. It will ripple through me for a long time.
@JoJo W Ironically, my 22 year old daughter and I are just as close as me and my mother. I have four sisters ,and I'm the oldest and the closest to my mom. Its crazy how life goes. I feel like it's the 20 years apart span that makes us so close!! I'm so glad to hear my words and positive vibes helped you. Stay with these " honeysteaders" they give good vibes always!!
Thanks, I was wondering if they were mother and daughter sorry for your loss. I lost my mother at age 17 and still miss her at age 76.
It is so nice to see mother and daughter working together and getting along so good.🤗

I make laundry soap from this and I love it! Only I followed a TH-cam video for it by a Bristish couple and they boiled it. It lasts a week in the fridge and works great!💖
Can you tell me the British couple? Interested. I wonder if it could be frozen. Bot freeze dried into laundry powder.
English Ivy makes the best cough suppressant throat soother. That's what I use it for.
How do you make and use?
Home is where our heart is has a video on making soap with ivy.
I bought an herbal cough syrup before Christmas that had ivy leaf in it, I have to say it was the most effective one I've ever used. The one I used also had licorice root and thyme, very pleasant tasting. Thank you for posting this I really enjoyed it!
I use uk ivy for wash8ng clothes. It works quite well! Soak 40 leaves overnight, drain and rinse, then boil them up with 11/2 litre water and strain- hey presto
I love this soooo much!!!
How much do you use per regular load of laundry?
It makes a great free soap...yes liquid soap.
the English Ivy went through the mortar between the cinder blocks of my home!!! I was growing right into our basement.
Wow!!! I have never known this to happen!!! I am genuinely surprised!! 😮
So close to 100k!!! You should hit that milestone by this weekend...
Lol I still think it’s crazy!
@@TheHoneystead It's 100% deserved. You have great information and you present it in a very easy to understand as well as entertaining way. You and Brigitte are awesome.
☺️
We Love You Too 🥰💞💖 Thank You 💖
I grew up (and still reside) in Oregon and many of our buildings have English Ivy growing on them and in all my years (& they are plenteous) I have never known any of these buildings (walls, brick retaining walls, et al) to be compromised as a result of this beautiful feature. I simply love it!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for the informative video/s
I have been using English ivy for several years, I'm not certain that it's exactly the same one that you're using, but it looks similar.
The person who taught me about English ivy told me that he treated his granddaughter's hand from a massive infection which the health center was not managing at all and the nurses were even afraid of touching it because it kept on spreading, so I imagine that the child had some kind of fungal infection. He told me that he made a strong tea with ivy and had the child soak her hand in there and he says that within a few days her hand was almost completely healed.
I also used that solution with salt to soak a badly infected finger where the infection was starting to go up my arm and the next day my finger was back to normal, but the skin was still a bit dark because the finger had gotten really swollen and dark and pounding and painful. All was gone after one afternoon of frequent soaks.
I have also read about the respiratory benefits and what I do is put one or two leaves in my tea when I have a cold, but I'm thinking of making a tincture just for the respiratory system effect.
I have also made little cloth bags with ivy leaves and applied them to my achy areas under a tight garment and it has relieved my pain after a few applications. The only pain where it didn't seem to help was my elbow pain.
I agree with you too it's difficult to find information about english ivy.
Have a great day
Having cleared old ivy from a brick house myself I can state honestly, the roots dig into the mortar and weaken the brick work and pulls shingles off the roof..
The ivy head wreath was also used in handfasting ceremonies.
Love you ladies ❤️. Thankyou for healing our spirits and teaching us how to heal our bodies.
English Ivy is sooooooooo invasive here and we do Ivy clearing as it does choke out a lot of the native plants here in BC, Canada. We pull it and now that I know the benefits from you all I might keep pulling with our environmental group but keep some and see what I can do after some research! We also weave with it here and make baskets!
What a brilliant idea!!! We have a lot of it in Oregon too. I love English Ivy.

I have been on a Honeystead binge for days now hahaha. Perfect background for my work and I am learning so much at the same time. Seeing you with your mom makes me so excited to do this with my family too! Appreciate you both.
Me too! Been Honeystead binging for over a week and wondering why I didn't find them sooner.
I'm not sure how I haven't found your channel sooner, but just a few days ago. I am binging your channel on any down time I have (which isn't often unfortunately) and loving/absorbing all the content you and your mom bring! Thank you so much! You are living the apothecary life I dream about! lol :) God bless!
This is actually what I need now having just gotten over the flu…I’ll have it ready next year!
I just started my James Green book, that you gals showed us, and the fact that this recipe is in his book makes me feel so inspired!
Thanks again for sharing! 28:40
You got this!
Could you give me the complete name and perhaps a link for this book? I’m having trouble finding it. Thanks!
영상잘보고 갑니다 올한해도 늘~ 건강하시고 유튜브도 승승장구 하시길 응원합니다. 🙏 👍
I am so happy I found you ladies. I have been self healing since childhood and still help friends with my concoctions. Very simple stuff, nothing serious but I have always been intrigued by the healing properties of plants.
Thanks for all your enthusiasm and generous sharing of your herbal journey.
Excellent! I love how your video showed up on my feed right after a friend asked if I had or could make something to help him cough up some junk out of his chest.
You ladies are beautiful! Keep getting dirty and teach on!
Your mother has the sweetest smile 💚 I'm learning so much. Thank you
I enjoyed this video you both are so knowledgeable and enjoyable to watch. I am so new and uninformed but also very interested in this way of living healthy. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your insights on all the things. Lisa
Oh my goodness! I’m in England and I was never told this about ivy when I was training to be a herbalist at uni! We were told about Ground Ivy (different species) but never about English ivy! And I have so much growing in my garden that I was planning to use to weave baskets - I’m so chuffed I can use the leaves too! This has made my year! Thank you! 🎉❤ Kate x
The back half of our property has been overrun w/English ivy. In an effort to push it back, me and my teenager spent an evening trying to cut it back. While I wore gloves, and treated it carefully as you would poison ivy, my kid disregarded my warnings and ripped into it bare handed. A few days later she had blisters and welts all over her hands. I didn't realize it could cause a reaction such as that. To be safe I would suggest performing a topical test and see if you have a similar type reaction before using it internally.
Great video, ladies. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Wow Awesome Picture!!!
Two beautiful woodland faeries!
Ingestion of berries or leaf material in small quantities may cause no symptoms or only minor gastrointestinal upset. It’s important to note that even a small quantity of the plant may be harmful for some people, however. Ingesting large amounts of ivy can cause breathing difficulties, muscle weakness, coordination problems, fever, hallucinations, and even coma.
A standardized extract made from the English ivy plant may be safe, depending on how the extract is made. It may even be useful medicinally, as described below. A "standardized" extract is one with a known concentration of the active substance. This concentration is chosen for both effectiveness and safety.-------- love watching your videos and we watch Darryl Patton and others that's how we found out for some people this is bad just saying you may want to warn people
Interesting. I recently heard that you can take a few thyme leaves and chew them, then swallow. It's suppose to work as an expectorant. An acquaintance did this and it worked overnight.
Thyme is such an amazing plant, most only know of it for cooking, but there is such a huge connection with common culinary herbs and herbal medicine!
@@TheHoneystead Thanks for your quick response. It would be nice to see a video about its medicinal properties.
This was cool! I have English Ivy growing in my window wells. I had no idea it is medicinal. Glad to have this info!!
💛💛💛 tuck this nugget in your toolbox, you never know when you may need it!
I love ivy! I make laundry soap with English ivy, although it doesn't have much of a scent and ferments if not used quickly. It is a great alternative! Thanks for sharing 🍃
Not sure where you are in the world, but I live in Wales, UK and I've been making the laundry soap liquid fof a couple of years. I find with the English ivy I collect here, that it smells surprisingly fresh and lasts for weeks. I use the Home is Where Our Heart Is, recipe.
Questions: Do you do giveaways of honeystead stickers? I am collecting all the channels I am subscribed to so that I can make a collage and frame it to put on my livingroom wall. If not do you have a store where I can buy a honeystead sticker?
My pulmonary Dr needs to start recommending things that work like these. I'm so tired of using the puffer and nebulizer to clear out my breathing. My grandma used to make mullein cough syrup with horehound candy in it. Gosh I hated that flavor but love it now. I just got some mullein plants to make mine. I froze my first elderberry harvest this year to make that syrup too. Covid in 2020 ending with pneumonia set me way back for 19 month coughing. Stopped coughing for 2 whole months before getting Covid the 2nd time ending up with bronchitis. 5 months later Covid #3 got me with bronchitis again. 2 1/2 months later my mom passed with covid and I got it the 4th time. Spent months using the nebulizer but it did prevent any further lung issues. I've made it 4 months now and not as much coughing as before. But I have to use my puffer daily to breathe clear and alot of my bee's honey for cough. I can't swallow the big expectorant pills. I see the lung Dr in 2 weeks for my next checkup. After that I wanna get going with my propolis tincture, elderberry syrup and mullein syrup. I have plenty English ivy growing in my yard so I'll be making this now too. I just wanna cough and breathe better. I've studied hive air therapy in Scandinavia and plan to start that now too but not sure how well sitting by my hives in the cold and putting the screened tube in each hive entrance will work since they seem to be flying almost every day. Can't plug up their entrance unless I do it early before they start flying. They're flying in the 40s lately. Anyway thanks for giving me a use the this what I thought was an annoying vine.
Oil of Oregano is also good for lungs, my husband uses it nightly. I dropper full. Helps hi wheezing too. I cut the oil of oregano with almond oil. 2 parts oil of oregano to 6 parts almond oil
@@dixiecook2264 My daughter got me some in 2020 with my first covid. Few drops under the tongue. There's gotta be a better way to take it as it took my breath away. She and my grandson take if everytime they feel a tickle and they never get sick. He gets a mouth full of my honey to wash his down. They just do it for immunity.
If it helps the lungs I will get it and take it again as I'm willing to work on this. Cutting it with almond oil just might work. So you're taking a dropper full of oregano oil with all that almond oil so still taking same amount of oregano oil as your husband or less?
My sister forages for mullein and plantain, dries it out in the oven with very low heat (she doesn't have a dehydrator), and crumbles it up into a mason jar. When anyone in her family starts to feel something coming on, she makes tea with it. During cold and flu season when things are going around, they just drink a cup of the tea every day to ward off the nasties. It works really well for her family, without the extra time and effort of making tinctures and such.
Hi I've just made this and filled ice cube bags up with it, when my lot have a cough they can suck on a cube, that will keep it longer than a month.
I'm not sure if my ivy blooms or has berries.
I'm going outside to check for a five point leaf!
Thank you for your information.
My dad told me the men of old times~ WWII ate cabbage before they drank alcohol to avoid any hangover effects.
I never drink enough for that, but I like cabbage.
I do need the anti~inflammatory & recently learned that stone ground mustard helps as an anti inflammatory. So many natural foods to help with this.
I'll try to find the book!
Thank you!
I just subscribed to your channel . Sent to me by my daughter. I'm so very interested in learning all I can!
Too much medication in my world, when I know the herbs are on this earth for our service.
Ohhh what an interesting story about the cabbage!!! That’s interesting!
I absolutely love your channel. An how your all about natural herbal everyday plants to help and cure whatever issues. Just fabulous! As ive been into it, taught some and learning and wanting to learn an use/do more. Its funny because purslane is 1 of thoes that's abundant an here in Southern California, that all been taught is a weed? Yet is the Best vitamin B there is and is what they make commercial vitamins with. It's a easy, versatile and pretty plant that I've used in all manners from salads,tintitures and dried. Can't wait to see what more you show us. Suggestion? Could you do more on mixtures for pets? Also, would be great. BLESS 🙏
Thanks for the great video ladies. Fermenting glass or porcelain weights are a great way to hold down the plant matter in canning jars when creating infusions. If I can remember, I'll have to make you a few, when my new mosaic tile art studio is finished. My old studio on our mini-farm/homestead is getting renovated into a sustainable house. ;)
slippery elm is also good for coughs. layer the plant matter and alcohol in the jar for complete saturation. Oh and don't press down on your scale like that, you could damage it and get inaccurate measures. I've always used a double boiler to reduce, it takes longer but you lose less of the medicinal properties of the plant to the direct heat of the burner.
Big healing hugs to momma Bridget💙
as your talking I am thinking of another plant that has Saponins yucca Which I have "I know I live in Minnesota" ... Thank you I looked up the English Ivy I while ago and Am trying to grow some
Loved this video! I never worked with English Ivy and now I am intrigued!
You are my comfort TV!! I just love watching and learning from you both!! 🌿🌱
Such pretty forest nymphs 😆
Another great video during this stormy day calling for snow tomorrow morning here in Allensville KY. Will try this as a cough tincture for sure been learn and starting to make a few for my house use.
New here... absolutely love your channel. Thank you for sharing all this wonderful information. Also, love your tagline when ending your videos... exactly what the world needs now.. "...learn something old"
I'm learning so much from you two. Now I just need to put some of these things into practice.
Wow, I’m in Canada, where I don’t think English Ivy grows but I’ll have to research! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to your family 🤗💜🇨🇦
So informative thank you so much
Big Thanks for this information. There is a small patch of land right down the street that is completely covered with what I think is English Ivy. This gave me the itch to start foraging again😊. It will be a nice switch from making holiday cookies and what not.
Beautiful beginning...love it when you two go for it and having fun with it. Interesting learning today.
Even though I’m in the middle of summer, I am so happy you are doing respiratory herbs lately as I’ve had some viral thing for 5 weeks now. I guess I’m off to identify and collect some ivy now 🌿
Robitussin actually came out within the past few years i guess with a cough syrup using Hedera and the taste is so much better than “standard” over the counter cough syrups! Thanks for the tips
I was looking forward to this video after commenting on y'alls IG regarding the identification of what I thought was "decor!" Now I also discovered that English Ivy makes a lovely crown too! Thank you so much for your fantastic content!
Wonderful! I just read about this today! Bless you ladies!
Now that you've probably taken this for a few days, can you tell a difference in your cough? If so, how long did it take to take effect?
Another great video. Boy I wished I knew some of this stuff years ago. You ladies are awesome!
Thank you ☺️
Thank you! I’ve had homeopathic cough medicine with English Ivy being the primary ingredient. I am just beginning to build my recipe list and plant/forage key ingredient. Your land is similar to our so when you and your mom go out and forage, or reseed what is native to our land, I listen, take notes!
This is so cool! I know it could be used for soap but I didn't know you could consume english ivy. Thank you for sharing!
This is wonderful knowledge. Thank you! I enjoy your videos so much with you and your mom!!
Thank you. Great video. I live in the UK... I've been making my laundry soap from English ivy, for the last couple of years. It's great stuff and it smells so clean and fresh.also I find it lasts in the fridge for many weeks.
That’s really cool!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you :) love this, thank you for sharing and explaining everything so clear and easy to understand. Awesome!
When I make a tincture that the alcohol doesn’t cover the Marc like 1:1 or 1:2 I put all in the blender. Makes great tinctures.
Great Videos ladies. I do have a Question on the English Ivy. when to harvest? Is one season better than others?
Awesome!! Ive got a huge hedge of this on the west end of the yard, still getting to know it and this helps! Thank you! I'll take extra good care of mine this spring and help it spread! In fact, I might make a batch tomorrow to keep on hand. Thanks!
You ladies definitely did good... thanks for all the helpful info and even having "fun" while doing it... looking forward to more in 2023!
💛💛💛
I’ve made the laundry soap this year it’s good (unscented) but doesn’t last without preserving/ pasteurizing. The saponins do bubble once shaken when done. But I chose to add eucalyptuses essential oil with mine. In my research I’ve only found English Ivy is toxic to take internally in large quantities.
the vines might make a nice wreath after de leafing
Awesome as always!
Interesting! So we don’t have Ivy here, but we have Cerasee here. The orange fruits are pretty so my kids play with and spread everywhere (it’s super invasive also medicinal, if y’all want some I’ll send you way lol). It’s now climbed up under my screen and popped the window screen off! We don’t get winter here so not sure how it would grow for you, but if you want to try let me know
English ivy is also researched as a cancer cure.
Some Mullin in that mix would also be great!
Love your videos and watching the awesome family relationship you all have. I was wondering if you’re having any classes in 2023? I’m not looking to start a business but am very interested in making the best use of as many natural elements I have near me. Thank you for your wholesome and very useful content!
Yes would love a class
The laurel leaf was the traditional crown
You mentioned maybe adding lemon to the cough syrup. Do you think you could add lemons during the the decoction process?
I loved this video , I didn't like that ivy till now, thanks ladies 💖 Wonder if you could blend it and strain it and ingest it
thankyou!!!!
I am going to go out in the cold today to see if I have 5 point ivy. Hope it is as we cut it back every year anyway.
Pretty sure this stuff is growing up the neighbors silos....would it be wierd to go ask to pick some🤔🤔
You two are awesome🥰🥰
Hi there
Absolutely love this video... So much great info. Can you use powder ivy leaf? And how much would you add?
Thank you
@TheHoneyStead
New Subscriber 😀 Have watched a few of your older video's and want to ask a quick question about your fire cider. Do you eat the ingredients you use in the cider once the cider is ready?
I have a question... I am confused. You put the ivy in boiling water on the stove and reduced it down. Then what did you do with the liquid before you added it to the jar to add alcohol to it? I missed that step.
I wish you answered questions. I found some type of daisy's in a field. I know you can eat them but need to know what kind of medicine I can make out of the flowers.? Can anyone help me?
1 Corinthians 9:25 KJV
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
2 Timothy 4:8 KJV
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Hebrews 2:9 KJV
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
1 Peter 5:4 KJV
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Revelation 3:11 KJV
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
If you're using fresh plant matter which has more water content, why do you use less alcohol? Wouldn't you want more since it will be diluted from the extra water in the plants? Just curious how that works.
I've read English ivy is toxic so what precautions must be considered? ie. Safe for children? How frequently should it be taken?
Thank you ❤
Hi. enjoying your presentations, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to weigh things like ivy leaves (and other ingredients) for the sake of consistency in production? You are pretty specific about the amounts of fluids you use e.g., water, but when it comes to dry ingredients (in particular gathered ingredients like ivy leaves) viewers are left to guess how tightly they're packed into jars as a means of 'guesstimating' quantity and therefore, in all likelihood, potency of the final product.
Finally the leafes must boiled or not for syrup?? I don’t understand. You put in the jar with water and separate for what you boiled the leaves? For soap?
That big batch called "concoction" is that water or alocohol based?
than very much.J will try. fromFlorida
If you add more liquid, do you add more time for soaking?
Yes, Bacchus
How would you use Mullian. I nirmally do with Vodka but i cant stomach the taste but works so good. Is there a way to make it into a syrup??
How cool!
Are there any contraindications to Ivy for internal use?
What books can you suggest for herb to drug interactions?
It’s also used for laundry liquid it doesn’t colour your clothes green 😊❤beautiful blessings 🏴💕💕
