Tip from our old-somewhat eccentric- pediatrician. My little sister had a lot of warts on her hands. He told my parents to let her pick the strawberries in our garden. It worked! The warts disappeared. Apparently the strawberry leaves contain an anti-wart ingredient. I have no idea how but it worked.
Strawberries and their leaves are high in salicylate. Salicylic acid is the primary ingredient in OTC wart remover.
How did you process the strawberries, were they cooked, or external ? I suffer from warts and nothing is working for them.
@@debrabrooks6138 you could make a hand salve, I'm thinking about doing it, actually. You would need to harvest the strawberry leaves, put them in a mason jar (it needs a good seal, trust me), and then fill the jar with all the leaves then cover with an oil. You can use olive oil, grape-seed oil, jojoba oil, sunflower, canola, etc (it will be used topical, so it should be fine if you choose one of these).
You can do a rush job and put it in a water bath if you want the leaves to extract out faster, or you could just go the regular route and cover all the leaves with the oil (fill it all the way up and cover the leaves) and then set it in a window sill that doesn't get direct sun for 4-6 weeks for the oil to infuse.
Once infused, strain off the leaves and keep the oil that's now infused. From there, you can make a salve.
Use one cup of infused oil and 1/4 cup of beeswax. Melt them together in a small sauce pan that you don't care to get wax in, (an old one or second-hand one would be best) and then let them melt together, don't over heat it.
Once it's all melted, transfer the liquid to small jars for personal use. If you have some salve tins that would be cool too. I just bought some tins online so I can make my own salves. This is a salve that I will try and the recipe stays the same, 1 cup oil to 1/4 cup beeswax.
God luck!
@@belight123 Wow thanks for the info!
@@debrabrooks6138 you bet!

Thank you 🙏
When I cut the tops off strawberries for my kids, I dehydrate them with the leaves. The little bit of dried strawberry in tops give my tea sweetness and makes the tea taste a little bit more like strawberries.
waste not, great idea, thank you, my chickens have gotten enough of them, lol
Great idea.. I will be doing this.
Great idea! I discovered last summer I could just set my bbq grill in the sun and it would get too 100/120 degrees, making a great dehydrator.
@@mpedals 😂😂😂🐔🐔🐔
"Why didn't I think of that???"
I learned from a Mohawk woman that the strawberry plant was one of their first medicines to appear in the spring. I’d never known about the leaves’ properties!
You also learned how to use an apostrophe correctly. 😁👏👏
I can't believe this is the first I am hearing of it! 😂😂😂
interesting. I moved into a new place in november 2021. They had raised beds for a garden. I was planting tomatoes, peppers, carrots and radishes when I discovered that there were a couple strawberry plants growing next to the shed. It was nice, got a few ripe strawberries last year. I kept the plants watered and fed them with banana peel water over the summer. This year, after sending out many runners last year, the plants are doing very well and there are dozens of flowers. It will be nice to try the leaves as I didnt know that was a thing.
Also, while weeding a raised bed(mostly grasses) I discovered the previous owner had planted asparagus. BONUS!
I wish I could share a picture of my strawberry patch! I'll be out there picking leaves! I feel everything God has created has a purpose and a use, and I thank you for sharing all the benefits of strawberry leaves! I've been harvesting raspberry and blueberry leaves for several years now for tea, but using all of these in a greens mix is a great idea.
Blessings 💖
'...and he looked and saw that everything was good...'
Ohh blue berry leave👏👏👏 another new one on my list 👍🏻🙏✝️💟
Ahhh Blueberry leaves too! 😅
I have a huge strawberry patch too, I had no idea! Yayyy🎉
Strawberry leaf tea is really good for gout also. I used to make up tea blends for work, one of my coworkers liked it and told me I had a magic potion because it took his gout pain away. He said after 30 years on meds and very little relief he felt better. I told him what was in the blend so he could make it on his own. Raspberry leaves make a good tea also ;).
Awesome! I would love to know that blend
@@christiebetts4970 You can use any blend just include the strawberry leaf in it. It really doesn't have much of a taste, I usually add chamomile or a black tea bag to it. Just add your favorite tea blend.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this! Do you have a recipe?
@Just me folks please share your recipe. Thanks!
I used rasberry leaf tea for diahrea on my babies in a sweetened tea. It works.
I've been taking a strong cup of wild strawberry leaf tea at the beginning of my period to stop the first day diarrhea for years. Works excellent!
I was going to ask if this applied to wild strawberry leafs as well
And all the time God is good
I am here 3 years later, strawberries and tomatoes for our first year gardening. This is invaluable information, I truly wish this was information more people knew!! Any of this!!! Everything you've said I've hung onto.
Because of you dear friend, I started harvesting strawberry, grape and blackberry leaves last year and made a mixed greens blend. I use them as you do in soups, sauces and anything I can add them to, tfs your wonderful knowledge on the benefits, its always educational for me. Blessings
Thanks for the ideas!
@@flamingpieherman9822 2 years, i have wild barriers growing all a round me. green smoothies, as well as a lot of other edibles, i started drying them for winter
@@williamhaugem7505 I have tons of wild grapes growing around me here in Florida. I'm thinking I'm going to start putting the leaves in soups and possibly even drying them. I watched an Italian guy on TH-cam use grape leaves in fig leaves to make cheese from milk fat and whey
@@flamingpieherman9822 im trying my pumpkin leaf, in a couple min. i planted them more for the leaves. no grapes around me, i need to find some wild blue barriers
Can we do the same with blackberry leaves?? Same processing, same uses?
This is awesome because my strawberry plants didn't produce a lot of fruit this year so I will definitely make use of the leaves. I didn't know you could use the leaves until I saw this video!
if your clip some leaves I bet the berries will increase
Wish there were more women that kept this kind of knowledge, which was very valuable.
THANK YOU! I'm 76, just lost 170 pounds, have arthritis and acute anxiety. For years I've been eating strawberries and throwing away the greens! Tonight, I just took my partner's discarded tops and added them to my tossed green salad. I wanted more greens and we were out. Everything good in the greens is something that can benefit us both! Like you aid, even throwing them in meatballs, etc. I subbed to you. In the 70's, my ex and I had a huge garden and I never thought of eating the berry greens. Yet I ate dandilion green salad from my mil and wine from it! WOW! I just felt like I was born again tonight! Thank You once again! I take about 22 supplements a day and because we live in a tiny apt. I never have been able to grow anything. BUT...from now on I will eat every top that comes gratis free with my strawberry!
Lots of information to learn. I grow strawberries and didn't know the leaves have so many benefits. Wow thanks alot🤝
I noticed people from other countries, when they eat a strawberry, they don't pick off the leaves that are left on the strawberry when picked; or, the ones that they always have on when we buy them. They just popped em in their mouth, leaves and all, and I thought well, it's like a beautiful garnish put right there by God... and they made me wonder...hmmm most other fruits, when picked, don't have leaves left on...I wonder what nutrition is in them... maybe that's why they stay on when picked. Thank you for sharing what I suspected. Ill be eating my strawberries WITH the pretty garnish from Yah from now on! 🍓
Great info! Thank you for sharing!
I can't believe I've never heard of all the heath benefits from them! I knew they were edible, my mom threw them stems and all in salads when I was kid. But the healing properties are amazing! I want to try fermenting them as well.
Oh my, you've brought back a childhood memory. Each time we got a "bad tummy" my Mom would pull out the bottle of "wld strawberry"...eeek, lip puckering sour and drying in the mouth but it sure worked!
Did she use wild strawberry leaves or fruit?
@@feltingme Interesting. I have just asked Heidi a similar question today Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@paulinemccullen4195 hi from USA. Blessings everyone.
I remember picking wild strawberries and they were sweet as pie. 😊
@@paulinemccullen4195 lol.. hi to Ireland from USA. I spent 7 weeks in Trelee back (WAY back) in 1996. Blessings everyone.
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah.❤❤❤ and God bless your family.❤
Strawberry caps are good to dry .slow boil on low and use as a rince for thrush or sore spots in mouth sore throut.
I had no idea so many wonderful things were packed into a strawberry leaf! One more thing on the to do list!
Wow, I just ate a few leaves and they are very drying on the tongue. !Hard to swallow without a wash. Cut small and mix with other things for eating. Thanx!
God is amazing with what He has provided us
Amen!!!
Absolutely
Mother Nature.
@@fspg3207 When you believe and prove that everything we see just came to be..
Ill believe the universe just came to be.
Real tlk alot of us don't appreciate it thou better believe he is amazing God one and only trully God
Wow. Didn't even know you could eat strawberry leaves. 😮
🍓🌿So happy you reminded us about this Strawberry video on 4/29/24. I just planted a new Strawberry bed, super excited to give the leaves a taste as I patiently wait for berries.
I have a picky eater. He really isn't a vegetable person at all. I told him how a couple of you tubers that I watch dehydrate vegetables and herbs and mix it into sauces and meats. He told me that maybe I should do that so that he gets vegetables that he normally wouldn't get. Going to have to give it a try.
My son is so picky he doesn't like anything touching anything so I sneaked it in.😀😀😀😀
my husband is the same, I now put dehydrated green(a variety of things) in any food he eats, we both now get a bit more nutrition
Wanted to give you a tip I learned and love it. Try it out . After collecting your tea leafs clean dry and put in zip lock bag strait into freezer for 8 to overnight then using your hands squeeze them very very well then spread out thin layers and dry them well( that process breaks the cells and will give your tea super flavor when they dry). There also a fermenting process also. But this is much easier and try side by side this way and plain dry leaf tea, Its amazing
I spotted few of wild strawberries and planing to plant them in my garden plot.Are the wild Strawberries are very much the same as regular Strawberries leaf to use? In Europe we used wild Strawberries the berries for many purposes, God is giving us all the herbal Remedies. I love using herbs ❤💝🙏
Well Heidi, somehow I missed this video and it's three years old!!! I am on a laptop. I never click the Home button. Always subscriptions. Well this time I decided I would. It has all kinds of things I have missed of a lot of people's videos. Yours (this one) was the first! I have been watching you since the early days and I never knew you did a video about this. It's awesome! Just like all the rest!! Thank you!!!
Great video Heidi! We are harvesting our June Bearing strawberries daily and knew the leaves must be medicinal because blackberry and raspberry leaves have so many benefits. I will use my dehydrator to get all those vitamins for tea making too! Thank You; you are a blessing!
Thanks Heidi! Yes I did learn something new. Just put in strawberry plants in this year and have a ton of leaves. I will be looking forward to your follow up video on preparation.
Friend of mine told me once berry season is done they always mow over their strawberries, keeps them disease free. I only have one plant and cut the big leaves to dry, they already grew back plenty (but the tomatoes are hanging over it now, gotta do some machete wielding😊)
We switched from Ever-bearing to June-bearing too and love the June-bearing so much more. Great info, Heidi! Thank you for posting this!
Heidi...can you harvest now that the fruiting season is done?
Love your opening music.....thanks for the new outlook on strawberries......
Cool. My mom said we'll watch youtube tonight. I like how you make your own stuff. I'm going back to that.
Thank God for you and your wisdom ❤
This may have been long overdue but it was so informational. You answered all my questions I could have had and some I did :) Well done, God bless for this!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I wanted with the medication shortage to be able to substitute something. I've binge watched with my notepad in hand ! Thank you , blessings
WOW!! I’m so thankful for you Heidi. Im going to start dehydrating Strawberry leaves today. ❤️
Feel like I should just get a good cup of coffee and sit down and listen from beginning to end
Never knew that! Just planted strawberries this year. Great video.
Wow! I have a ton of strawberries,an had no idea about the Leaves!!
I started out 4years ago with about a dozen Hood Variety. As they put out the runners, I started using an old water trough for a new planter… Then I added 12-15 oval strawberry baskets,which I have hanging along the back fence of my garden.. It’s my snacking fence! ! It’s great to know about the leaves! Thank You for sharing your knowledge!
Me too. Would U believe I haven’t bought a strawberry plant in 11 years? We moved from an acre, in the country….to the city. I hauled my plants with us. I start all my runners into new small pots. We have totally organic 🍓 plants. I’ve never ate the leaves.
Every time I put the plants into the ground some animal would come and destroy them... The flowering and budding parts mostly.... So I put them back into hanging baskets too, but what should I do to make sure they survive the winter? Put them back int ground? It can get to about - 35 degrees C or F for a few weeks every winter.
I purchased the Homesteader's Herbal Companion book on your recommendation. I'm still waiting for it to come in. I can't wait to get it - I'm so excited to get my hands on it!
I just got it last week & have read it twice already. You are going to love it!
Love strawberries wrapped in their leaves and eaten off the vine!
When I was a teen I would get a face blemish once in awhile and Mom gave me a B vitamin tablet to rub on the area. I don't recall what B it was, but it was a bitter white pill. It was AMAZING ! Of course, I had to clean out the yuck first, and then I'd rub the powdered pill on the sore. And they would heal OVERNIGHT! I am definitely going to try this with the leaves of my berries! Thanx for making this! Nice to know of another source for necessary C too!
I wonder if it was an aspirin?
I’m heading to the garden now thanks for always providing such great information
Awesome, I’ve had red raspberry leaves but never strawberry leaf !😀
THANK YOU HEIDI! I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS! I WILL DEFINITELY DRY MY STRAWBERRY LEAVES as the things you said they help with,EYES in particular I will be using this!
We have June bearing plants in one area. The the ever bearing in another space. We love both. The everbearing aren't big producers after the main season but they are enough for a surprise shortcat occasionally. Then my husband picks the few almost daily, late into the fall. Thats his special treat for me. They spike my spirit, a reminder that God provides all the time. I must make tea. Our daughter in law is into making jams an jellies. So good.
Oh Heidi...you are truly a blessing...even though the video was late it came at a perfect time for me..it's great how your videos are packed with so much information..harvesting strawberry leaves today, love it..Thank you !!
Thank you!
oh wow why i didn't know that,,i have lots of Strawberries in my garden and i keep growing more of them just with Runners and i always collect leaves and flowers for tea and tincture but thanks for the info,,i ll add Strawberry leaves to my list,,i should mention i always air dry herbs and fruits just leaving them on a tray in a room with fan on ,
Thank you I've never used the leaves before
Ive always wanted to make my own strawberry tea as its a favorite of mine. Now I know, thank you so much. I also make my own salves and this will be a great addiction.
Wow i built a 4'×8' strawberry bed for my daughters 2 yrs ago n knew nothing about the leaves just thinking of something for the girls to play around with gardenning. I have artheritis n immunes system issues so i hope the leaves can help my body feel better. Thnks a lot!
Sometimes I wonder how I have lived so long and had so much education and still am finding things that I never even *heard* of let alone know any details about! I would never in a million years have thought you could eat strawberry leaves :chuckles:.
Same!! 😅
Me too
And All The Time GOD IS GOOD 😊😊😊❤
So cool thanks for sharing 👍 I'll definitely try the strawberry leaves
Thank you so much for this/ I still have to get strawberries plant/ i start drinking nettle leaves is great tasty/now i must try this strawberry..i be back as soon I try it...see you and more power. God Bless❤
I am overwintering my strawberries in the house...lol! I didn’t get them planted because I grew them from seed and they were small and it’s started to get cold so I just never planted them! I’m gonna give some of the leaves a try! They are now nice and luscious! Thanks!😊
I’m making some sauerkraut today and going to blend my black raspberry/habanero hot sauce that I have had fermenting for a few months! It smells delicious and has quite a bit of heat! I wish I would’ve harvested more black raspberries but the birds love them so much so I had to let them eat a few! Lol!
Have a great day! I will be watching a few more of your videos! Thanks for putting them out there!😊💗
7:48 I'm always excited to hear new information on my favorite things 🍓 TFS!
Thank you for sharing. I learn something from every video.
That's beautiful thank you I did not know about strawberry 🍓 very good information thank you for sharing
This is awesome. I think I shall attempt to keep you company on this journey. Thank you for the nudge.
Thank you - I had no idea of these benfits from the strawberry leaves. Watching you from Norway.
Wow great info. There are wild strawberry plants all over the place here in the piedmont area in NC. It seems mostb all the yards ive seen here is a mix of clover, dandylions , wild onions and wild strawbwrry with a little grass. 😊 . now more then ever it is looking like a beautiful imperfact blessing to have. Over a green frescue lawn.
This is wonderful Information thank so much I have a lot of these ailments and natural is my goal over pharmacy.
Amazing new information for myself, we have abundance of both backberry and strawberries in uk it is something im in love with ,thankyou ❤
Thank you so much! I will be drying strawberry leaves for sure. I did not know they were so useful. Mine are flowering right now.
Great video, thank you. I'm currently weeding my strawberry bed. Now I will use the leaves.
Great video 😊 thank you. Strawberry leaf tea in the morning for me😊 have a lovely day ☺️
Awesome, thank you something to add to the salad with my lambs quarter common mallow Henbet purslane.
I had no idea. Good to know. Thanks for posting......
That's explained why the squirrel was eating leaves not fruit last year. They also ate rose hips.
Good to know! I'm going to try some today. Had another sleepless night with the aches and pains. 🥺 Thanks!
Not sure why but I have not seen one of your videos on my feed for months and this just came up. Seems like Christians are phased out of TH-cam often honestly and I believe that that has happened to my channel to in the past. I did not know strawberry lives were beneficial and I thank you for the information. I will go directly to your page from now on so I don't miss your videos so long again.
This video is a few years old but what shows up in your feed will be according to what is either going viral or what other videos you are currently watching though if you are subscribed and especially if you have elected to be notified when a new video posts then you should be seeing 5 videos a week when you go to your subscription page
Great info…my strawberries are growing like mad…good to know they have great benefits. God bless, stay healthy
God Bless you Mrs. Rain! Thank you so much for info!!
Just Eastside comment and how wonderful and radiant your skin looks today... Us older girls that consumed many plants tend to look a lot younger than women half of our age.
My favorite fruit. Love the smell of strawberry fields. Childhood memories as my grandmother let me eat some I would pick from her garden. They had victory gardens, I am sure.
My Desert tortoise Loves strawberry leaves to eat
I’ve watched so many of your videos & come back to them all the time. Most of the time I see comments I’ve left almost a year ago!!
😂🍓
Thank You So Much, been saving leaves, Now I know more of what they can be used for
Amazing info. I have a strawberry patch. Had no idea. Thank you!!!!
Hi there this is extremely helpful, I forwarded it onto some friends that can use it. 🙂. Thx!!!
If it wasn’t dark I’d go pick some right now! Thank you for this video. I never get many berries and the few I do get are pretty sour. But at least I’ll get some benefit from the garden real estate they take!
Excellent information. TY!!
Wonderful information, thank you so much
Thanku. Didn’t know I could eat strawberry leaves
Wow thank you so nuch for sharing your knowledge 🤗💛🙏
I am a new learner and can't tell you how excited I am to start dehydrating strawberry and blackberry leaves (as that's the only kind I have right now). Can you tell me what temp and time I need to do this. Thanks for all you do. Looking forward to learning so much more from your videos.
Grape leaves, dandelions and strawberry leaves....would make a great salad!
I just had a dandelion, strawberry and clover leaf salad last night!
I always use dandelion leaves in my salad and occasionally will tear up a young grape leaf. They are a bit tart but you want young tender leaves. I have not added strawberry leaves to salad yet but I would make sure they were tore or cut up small because they can be rather tough.
@@RainCountryHomestead in my backyard here in Florida I have tons and tons of grape leaves. In fact I would call it an invasive plant at this point LOL. And I've always known we could make stuffed grape leaves. But I never thought about drying them or using in salad. I bet with a good olive oil vinaigrette this would be really awesome!
Thank you will try that Amen 🙏
I have a lot of wild strawberries, can I use this plaint the same way. I so love your teaching
Yep, you sure can
Awesome ideas, thanks so much!
Could you PLEASE do a video about Rose hips???? I absolutely know that we can use them but need info on harvesting and how to use and what types. PLEASE??❤️🙏
dry the rose hip on the non hybrid roses make a simple hot water tea. Good for health and women as we age!
@@alomaalber6514 Thank you so much, I appreciate your help. We have wild roses everywhere and I would like to harvest this fall 💕
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!
Great info!! I love watching your video's......I have learned so much from you. Thank you!!
I never new u could use the leaves I always wondered thanks for the amazing info Ur a Gem 👍🤗🙏💖🇬🇧
Interesting, will have to get out and pick some of my strawberry leaves tomorrow, have some raspberries as well so will pick some of those leaves and get them dehydrated. Great video Thank you
Great video as always, your one of my favorite channels girl
