You know whats funny! I was about to enroll in one of the gazillion dollar programs. At the last minute i was like. ..ihomeschooled my kids- surely i can homeschool myself! So im buying a few books, cross referencing info and soaking up EVERY bit of info i can get from you because youre great and not all "fluffy bunnies and rainbows " lol. Took my kids out and foumd a few things i recognized from your videos. Thanks for sharing the love ,April!
April, I love your realness!!! I am binging your vids so that I can learn as much as I can. I am trying to learn the differences between tinctures, elixirs, etc. I tried something on my own based on inaccurate info and it went bad. I love your commitment and veracity to safety and health. There is so much to learn, but you make it so simple and ACCESSIBLE!!!!! You are amazing and empowering. THANK YOU. --Tess
I do not have access to fresh Hawthorn berries but am travelling to get some abroad. your video says its safe with most heart meds, what about Blood Pressure meds. I really want off of them. thankyou for your generous offerings with your time and knowledge. it is truly inspiring, you are a beautiful soul and now I have found you I am sticking with you.
So with you Gal!!! Making my elixirs now! Found ooodles of berries this season. Had our first ...second frost up here in the Catskills of New York. Found an old jar from 2018 0f burdock root tincture with the plant matter still in...just strained! Wow! 2 years almost....
Thank you! I have a giant Hawthorne in my yard. I didn’t know that the later season/post frost berries are more medicinal - good to know! I thought maybe those weren’t so good. I Learn something new everyday (-;
I’m smart enough to learn and have been doing so now for around 30 years. I also enrolled myself into Rosemary Gladstar’s course because I’m smart enough to know that she’s a wonderful herbal mentor ( like yourself) and I have the opportunity to pull from that well of wisdom also. Great video. Thank you!
I love the shit out of your videos ...you simplify so much ....I would love to go Wilding with you but I'm afraid geography won't permit...anyway thanks for putting out such simple and valuable info .
I have made lots of tinctures but never a hawthorn berry elixir or tincture. I am wondering why you didn't crush the berries first? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
You are Wonderful Can;t get enough of your knowledge and wisdom ive been doing essential oils for a couple years and I would much rather use fresh and do my owm!
I enjoy watching your videos. I decided to learn one herb a month. I'm learning about hawthorn now. Looking forward to making different medicines with her.
I want to get off my blood pressure medicine, I thank you and will try this. Winter so I can only get powder Hawthorne berry. Once tincture is made what is the daily dosage? Thanks.
How would you use the elixir? Under the tongue and a few drops in a drink like a tincture? ( also I love your videos and appreciate all the knowledge you share w the world. Such a wonderful soul 💛 )
Thanks for your videos.. I actually just made some Hawthorn tincture and elixier.. And I have also been watching your older videos.. (domestic April.. I like her :) ) Love them.. Please keep your videos coming.. Thanks for sharing..

I enjoy and appreciate your ramblings....probably because i do it too :o) I have learned a mountain of good and useful information from you! Thank you so very much!
Ive been watching ur videos i just started recently so i have a few questions as this has been a long time interest but still very new to me i see u use the vodka on tinctures such as hawthornberrys then with the same fruit u infuse honey then again with the elixer. My questions are.. is one way better then the other? What are the differances in the way ur prepping them? And is there advantages in doing it one way over the others?
Great video. Great info. So lively and fun. You are such an inspirational happy gal. No fuss. Clear and with such happy energy. You go girl! Now I am a devoted follower to your chanel from the first minutes of watching you. So take it as a compliment Greatings, Hans Fredrik of Sweden Royal Kingdom of Sweden
I've been nibbling on some fresh Haws. It hasn't frosted here yet, but I will be loading up. They're full of fruit. I find it gives me a little boost and they don't taste like much yet. Not as sour as crabapples.
The HAWTHORN is the faery tree/ sidhe/ in Ireland. If a farmer cuts the hawthorn tree on his land, he's doomed. They still don't. Those who do, usually suffer.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, I have learned alot from watching your videos and you have inspired me to try alot more than I normally would, thank you. A question, I would love to see you working with Rowan berries, I am from Scandinavia and for us this is traditionally a powerful plant medicine also in the same family as Hawthorn and Rosehips.
Hellow I in Ireland and we have Millions of Hawthorn trees and blackberry hedges. I was going to make wine from Hawthorn berries, can I freezes them. because i can only collect about a kilo per day and i need about 10 kilos. thanks Tony... I herd if you freezes them it will help to break them down ! i didnt see your other Hawthorn videos yet and please do feel free to Ramble Plenty in your reply thanks
Great - but when would I choose to use the elixir over the tincture? I understand honey draws different properties out, but I am not sure I understand when and why you use an elixir over a tincture. THANKS!
Honestly it's just a preference, some people like the sweeter taste over just alcohol. But sometimes if you're working with something allergy related honey can be helpful and boosting it's allergy preventing properties😊
would you maybe put this in the same kind of bottle as tincture-- will it be thin enough to take a dropper full?! I wanna gift this to friends and fam with heart issues...THANKS! LOVE YOUR VIDS!!
Hi!! Love your videos. You are just so knowledgeable. I have heart issues and would love to make this! How often would you take this? Daily? And after the 6 to 8 weeks how do you actually take this?
I literally can't, that's considered practicing medicine. Also, herbs aren't pharmaceuticals so it's not a one sized fit's all kinda thing. Check out my let's talk all about tinctures video to learn all sorts of things including how to find the dose for your own body ❤️
Would you use this to prevent heart problems or only if you already have blood pressure and heart problems? Is it something you should only take for a certain amount of time?
I typically try to get the berries the same time I get rose hips which would be an early winter. Come early spring it's likely that there's been some rotting going on.
I live in Canada so hips stay frozen most the winter, still make tasty early spring tea. Am i losing most the medicinal value by waiting for such a later harvest?
Thank you for mentioning that the dried berries would be great for tea! I thought I was just going to have to keep these dried bad boys sitting in a pretty jar on my counter to remind myself not to buy shit without fully knowing what I'm doing 😂 Would dried hawthorn berries be good to make an infusion with?
I've just made my second batch of the Hawthorn tincture and it's more bitter/less nice-tasting than the first, although from the same batch of dried berries. The elixer is obviously sweeter, but after the fact would you recommend honey or something that could be added to the tincture to improve the taste? My first batch tasted great and maybe this steeped a bit longer (3 months).
I have watched this so many times. Haha. I just love you. My Hawthorne is the black kind and all the other trees in the area have dried up. No frost yet it’s mid September. My tree is still not dry. I am just waiting for the frost but I am afraid they will dry up and fall off before that happens. Any advice welcome thank you!
Hey honey, I am confused on what type of hawthorn I would need to get to plant... I live in upper east Texas and cant figure out which to buy🤔 shit is confusing when your first starting out and your the smartest and down to earth one out there.. oh and I lost my Vick's plant, but I will have another!!!😂 thank you,cheers🎉
I'm gonna do this but slightly different. Ball Jar (Same size she has in this video) Hawthorn Berries 1oz ground decarbed cannabis 1cup of raw Honey Equal amounts of Alcohol MCT Oil (enough to cover the berries & cannabis flower) Add contents to jar, seal, then place jar in slow cooker on low for at least 6hrs (this can be done overnight if you wish) Making sure to take out the jar and shake all it's contents vigorously every 45min. Strain the liquid and remove as much flower as you prefer (sometimes I don't mind the lil bits in there). Place in UV dropper bottles (Infinity Jars are perfect for this). Enjoy!. And you're welcome!.
Apparently in canada I can only find 90 proof vodka. . And only in Quebec, which is 4 hours away for me and 100 dollars a bottle. Is it worth making tinctures without hat option?
I've never heard of 90 Proof vodka I think maybe you mean 80-proof vodka? Because the proof refers to the percentage of alcohol to water ratio, so 90 Proof vodka would be 60% alcohol 40% water. You can use 80-proof vodka just don't go over 100 Proof. Some people get the percentage of alcohol mixed up with the proof if it says 50% alcohol by volume that is 100 Proof vodka if it says 40% alcohol by volume that is 80 proof vodka and a majority of vodka sold in stores is 80 proof so if you end up using 80-proof vodka just let it sit for a few weeks longer💕
@@sheisofthewoods yeah in Canada 40 % is the regulated proof, my tinctures just rest longer is all, works fine, Love you're video, never thought about honey as a water sol extractor, def adds shelf life. Thanks April, 👍
This women is just so wholesome and living her best life. I’m so happy for her
The way you speak of plants and the land is so profoundly beautiful. And healing. Thank you.
Finally someone who understands the alcohol volume ratio. 👌

Come on God. Thats awesome👌
Makes sense!
i made this and i can tell you that this is incredible!!! I even add it to a gin and tonic to make one incredible lock-down cocktail
oh that sounds fab
The plant contains Quercitin just like Juniper does, aka what's in Gin, strong anti viral

Hi April can you tell what you do when it’s done? Do you strain it and take the liquid or eat the berries? Thank you!!!
The HAWTHORN is the faery tree/ sidhe/ in Ireland. If a farmer cuts the hawthorn tree on his land, he's doomed. They still don't. Those who do, usually suffer.
Loved this, thank you. Just picked some hawthorn today, and I am looking forward to turn it into elixir 🙏💖🌱
I just found you and i am tickled!! I want to binge your vids right this minute, but i have hawthorn berries to process.
I live in California, where would I found fresh hawthorn berries?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, I have learned alot from watching your videos and you have inspired me to try alot more than I normally would, thank you. A question, I would love to see you working with Rowan berries, I am from Scandinavia and for us this is traditionally a powerful plant medicine also in the same family as Hawthorn and Rosehips.
Good for broken hearts....
Yep, there's real physiological stress caused by grief and loss. When we support those aspects we can prevent grief related injuries.
Hellow
I in Ireland and we have Millions of Hawthorn trees and blackberry hedges. I was going to make wine from Hawthorn berries, can I freezes them. because i can only collect about a kilo per day and i need about 10 kilos.
thanks Tony... I herd if you freezes them it will help to break them down !

How do you know she is a witch??
i just found her 5/8/21. So glad i did.
About the same time as Hawthorne berries come out, Spicebush berries are coming out too. Have you worked with Spicebush at all?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@limegreenroos8 yep just put it in a standard tincture bottle and I usually use about half a dropper full of Hawthorne at a time💕
as in making a tea from dried berries you mean an herbal infusion yes?
Hi!! Love your videos. You are just so knowledgeable. I have heart issues and would love to make this! How often would you take this? Daily? And after the 6 to 8 weeks how do you actually take this?
THANK YOU for everything you do. Any tips on a Hawthorn Syrup?
OMG I just found you...i love you! Thank you!!!
You are a wealth of knowledge but I wish you would tell the dosage you would recommend an how often in your future videos
I literally can't, that's considered practicing medicine. Also, herbs aren't pharmaceuticals so it's not a one sized fit's all kinda thing. Check out my let's talk all about tinctures video to learn all sorts of things including how to find the dose for your own body ❤️

Big thanks…what about Aronia berries..??? Is that the same…??
You have such incredible videos. Thank you from the bottomof my heart.
Can you harvest the berries in early spring like you can with rose hips?
I typically try to get the berries the same time I get rose hips which would be an early winter. Come early spring it's likely that there's been some rotting going on.
@@sheisofthewoodsthanks 🙂will have to wait til next year to harvest some
I live in Canada so hips stay frozen most the winter, still make tasty early spring tea. Am i losing most the medicinal value by waiting for such a later harvest?
U look exactly like my best friend & ur voice is exactly like her's 😃 🙂. I love ur presentation
What is the dose you recommend an how often to take
Love your videos, thanks so much :-)
What do you think would be a good dose, and how to use?
Awesome!! Thank you
Hawthorne Berries in the UK are not as big as those you have. Do I just need lots more smaller ones? Thank You. Love your video’s x
Yep just gather as many as you need💚
Can dried berries be used?

Have you ever crushed them?
What is better hawthorn elixir or just tincture.
really enjoy your videos :)

Can I use maple syrup? Honey n me don't mix
Hi, can you put everything in the blender to produce a more potent medicine?
Can not get this strength in UK AV looked everywhere so what do u suggest. Thanks for sharing your magnificent knowledge 🕸️
80 proof is fine, which is 40% alcohol.

I am just waiting for the frost but I am afraid they will dry up and fall off before that happens. Any advice welcome thank you!
I have dried hawthorn berry so just a tea will also help? I want to see the work involved at end of processes.
How often do you take the tincture please I've subscribed too.god bless

Any Hawthorn that can handle your climate will do!
Thank you greatly my dear, have an amazing day!
After the weeks pass, do you strain it? Do you throw the berries out after?
My hawthorn berries are yellow or Goldie color
I'm gonna do this but slightly different.
Ball Jar (Same size she has in this video)
Hawthorn Berries
1oz ground decarbed cannabis
1cup of raw Honey
Equal amounts of Alcohol MCT Oil (enough to cover the berries & cannabis flower)
Add contents to jar, seal, then place jar in slow cooker on low for at least 6hrs (this can be done overnight if you wish)
