You are the perfect person to speak on this topic. Watching today, three years later! Thank you for keeping these great videos available in your library.
I agree 100 percent! Eating healthy, whole foods from all food groups is the best. I won't bore everyone with the whole story, but for the last 4 years I've tried almost everything to get healthier. It mostly started with needing to lose some weight, however, I discovered from much trial and error I learned that most of what we have grown up believing about health and nutrition isn't true. I learned that instead of losing weight to get healthy, we need to get healthy to lose weight. What a new concept! Weight is a symptom, not a cause of health. I also learned that even thin people can be just as unhealthy. Go figure! For me it was so difficult to totally turn around everything that has been pounded into our brains about health. I just know that when I overcame that mental block, I not only felt better, but I lost weight without hardly trying.
I have to watch your videos over and over because there’s so much to learn. (This is NOT a complaint) Thank you for sharing this information! God bless
I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from your channel sweet sister. Your channel is a wealth of knowledge that’s hard to match. Thank you and God Bless🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️
Post brain surgery, i got a terrible infection (due to "onyx" that was used to close arteries & blood flow to my scalp). Part of that hair hasn't grown back. I made rosemary oil and add that nightly to the area, but never considered massaging it in! I will start doing that and also plan to mix a bit of your muscle rub to it. I'd really like this hair to regrow. Thanks for the help. -Gina
I have very straight, thick and strong hair. When we moved to Arizona in 2020, it started breaking off and falling out. I had headaches and just wasn’t feeling good. Turns out I was very dehydrated. Wasn’t use to this dry climate. I’m fine now and my hair is back to normal.
When i make my tintures i make in a pint jar,then after 6 weeks i strain and put into amber bottles with droppers. I also sell them to local people. Very cost-effective,i will use 5 drops most of the time. The only product i do make alot in a qt jar is Heidi's toothpaste powder.
Great video thanks. Just the tonic I needed. Ice been caring for mom all these years. She passed away by my side may 14. And I've just not been able to check in or feel myself. Anyway you've really cheered me up with this video and I feel motivated. Lots of love to you from Europe. Xx
I was using a very ripe avocado to treat my hair and it worked amazingly but messy.....bought the avocado oil and made an infused oil from watching you. Can't wait to try it in two months!!!! Thanks Heidi!!!!
Does anybody else have a problem with coconut oil making your skin dry? It makes my skin dry… maybe because I live in a dry climate, therefore I need moisturizer, but coconut oil makes it worse. I think I need an animal fat moisturizer I’ve learned a lot from this channel! ❤️
I cannot use coconut oil alone for that reason. It can be drying and for those of us with dry skin, yes, it will make it worse. Th is why I mix it with other things as shown here: th-cam.com/video/M9e5J6Vs1V0/w-d-xo.html Finding a good creamy shea butter that spreads well is good on its own but often times it can be too thick. Avocado butter I find to be a good one on its own.
I simply rinse my hair with my homemade Apple vinegar after shampoo and conditioner twice a week and have noticed the difference. I have so much new hair growth. Thanks Heidi, great information.
Do you use the vinegar straight, or do you mix it with water to dilute? I hear people talking about using vinegar as a rinse, or even as the only cleaning product, but how??? Dr. Berg (TH-camr) said to put I think a tablespoon in a quart of water or something ridiculous like that. I did about a half a cup in a quart. Can I go stronger?
I Luv Luv Luv your videos My hair is growing and not falling out and my bald spot has grown by a half an inch which I’m very pleased with. I have all of these Herbs and Love them ALL I use an herbal tea and oil once a week to steam and rinse and then use my herbal shampoo once a week and leave in oil 2-3 times a week The most important thing for me was the health of my hair not the length ( that came later ) ☺️ Fan For Life 💜💜💜💜 Thank You Thank You 💜💜💜💜
Thanks to you I've been cleaning my hair with ACV. My hair is recovering from a 9 year run of hypothyroid issues and now that I'm nourishing my body accordingly it's growing better. And it's loving the ACV wash. I have my chili flakes infusing in Avocado per your oil video. Greenbeauty on TH-cam is also a wealth of natural hair care that can apply to all hair types. I've tried going meatless and in my journey I've noticed that my body really just wanted more produce. Whole foods. Better quality meat. And my body is showing healing signs.
Remember that you can add other herbs to that to infuse as well such as rosemary, sage, horsetail, nasturtium, lavender, peppermint, and more. You can use one or more of any of those
I am definitely going to make a concoction as I have some herbs I can use in my garden. My hair used to be very thick but since Chemo and regrowth it is much thinner but it is also a side effect of the medication I have to take for next 10 years. So hopefully this will bring back some thickness again
I wash my hair 1 or 2 days per week using a J.R. Liggett shampoo bar. The other days, I just rinse my hair with water. I shower every night because of sweating from working outside, gardening, etc. Plus, showering at night helps my allergies. Since I have naturally oily hair, I'm thinking I could do the oil before I shower. Not sure if I can use the Cayenne or not since I have sensitive skin. Also, we are on disability, which means fixed income. That means we cannot afford to buy organic types of food. My husband does hunt, so that helps. At least the wild game is organic!Thanks for all your wonderful videos!
Thank you for this link. Now i understand why some reviews don't support olive oil for infusion. Thankfully Grapeseed is fine for my hair unlike Coconut oil that I find further drying. Would try out the suggestion for tea as I love tea (without addition of any sweetener). I appreciate you.
I have an exposed scalp, so that train has left the station. Gravity is the curse of old age, and all my hair went south and is growing well and long on my chin.😎😎😎 Thanks for the info Heidi 👍
I am loving this playlist! Only 5 videos in and you mention Moringa... going to keep going and hoping you talk more about it. We have had 3 dwarf moringa trees grown from Baker Creek seeds for four years in zone 4b... they come in for the winter. Take it daily for arthritis but had no idea about hair. Thank you.✝️
Your infused oils are so pretty and I bet they smell great! My hair is thin but wavy, as I get older it is thinning on top so thank you for this information. I will start using these.
I lost about 50% of my hair during chemotherapy treatment. I used rosemary oil with sesame oil as the carrier. It worked well; the only thing was sesame is so aromatic that it always made me super hungry, even after I'd eaten recently. 😝😝😝
This video is a year old but applies even more so now that I am watching my grandbaby three days a week: th-cam.com/video/e2nZp222R3o/w-d-xo.html&pp=sAQA
I really like all the links you listed plus the Oils, Herbs, Nutrients, and Foods for Hair Growth: I have been searching for years to find Herbal remedies . I caught covid last November, months later my hair fell out 40 % thank God it stopped. I thought I would go bald, it's finally growning back in, not looking healthy though. I'm going to collect the supplies needed to make your products. First video I watched of yours was crocheting skillet handles. I had no idea you make remedies.Thank you for a place to start.
Hi I have been watching lot of you recipes every time I was thinking you have such a beautiful hair and you don't need to have a recipe I got the best vitamin Zinc & B6 . I have to try your recipes I lost a lot of hair I hope will help because it is depressing especially for a woman not to have hair thank you so much for your beautiful videos God bless you
I feel the same. Because of what I have been through. Some now are saying carnivore no vegetables . Well tried that too. Big problems happened. Some can have it work . Not me . What you are saying is what I get best resultsfrlom from Ontario Canada
I have never been one to believe in a diet that eliminates a whole food group but still decided to try vegetarian and then vegan for a time. I even did grain free for a very short time but never with the intention of it being a long term thing but rather to reset my metabolism, nothing more.
I noticed your Brazil nuts ,I buy in 5lb bags from Azure, do you also ,just vacuum seal those as well, or keep the jar in fridge ,I have heard that these are most susceptible to going rancid ,I have started vacuum sealing all the nuts and keeping in my coolest room but unsure of the Brazil nut?? I also want yo thank you, for always answering, I have noticed other channels ,when they get so big they stop actually communicating with all the people who helped them achieve their success, so I greatly thank you very much. And as always your videos have so much depth and knowledge ,Thank you!!
I've been having a bout of alopecia...2 bald spots. Doctor shot cortisone into my scalp, twice.... ugh, should have known better, 2 months later still bald spots. I started putting tea tree oil on the spots nightly. After about a week and a half, I started seeing some regrowth. One is nearly gone now. I've been eating nasturtium flowers and drinking lemon balm tea with Thai basil in it... not sure if that's helping or not.
Mix rosemary oil with sesame oil and apply to your scalp with an eye dropper and then massage in. Leave in for a last an hour. It stimulates the follicles. I've used this after chemotherapy and got my hair back. I've also heard of people putting used coffee grounds in a hair mask but I've not tried that remedy. 😉
@@ElinWinblad I had never heard of this but it is interesting. I think my hair loss was caused by high stress due to some tough life events at the time. I've had no more bald spots since that time. It is on the thinner side at this point, which I attribute to age (probably missing vitamins, minerals or nutrients) and I am working on trying to thicken it up with rosemary, castor oil and other natural herbs etc.
🌞good morning Heidi thanks for sharing this Video you have a wide verity of health oils we can use for hair I kind of got behind on the Herble hair oils blends good reminder thanks.
Hello Heidi! God is good, all the time! I know this is not a dehydrating video but as you were reading off ingredients, you mentioned Avocados. I love Avocados and it came to my mind, can you dehydrate Avocados? I'm fairly new to your channel and you have a lot of videos so I'm not sure if you have made a video on dehydrating Avocados or not. I appreciate all you're doing, using the various things we can grow, and showing us how we can use them. Blessings to you beautiful lady. Missouri Wrightchk
I have never tried dehydrating them and always assume it would not work well due to their high fat content. Maybe I will experiment with a small slice at some point but am out of avocados right now
Good morning Heidi!🌞 I may have mentioned this before but a hair dresser told me years ago that tea tree oil is another good one for hair growth. I noticed quite a difference! My hair grows really slow. If my hair is longer, as it is now, I may not need a trim but every 6-9 months. Blessings! 💜
It's January 20th, 2023, Heidi, and I am just now seeing this (the binging continues - well, it will continue after I do some more reading on our small group study "A Prosperous Soul"), and I am wondering if using dandelion root tea would work. I have rosemary, sage, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, and I forgot what else you said. Anyway, would a very strong tea work to mix in with the other herbs and oil and just rub it on the scalp? I have lost alot of hair since this bioweapon thing....ugh, plus, I just found out my thyroid has been on the fritz. I hope you'll see this. Thank you!
Oil and water do not mix so it would be difficult to mix tea with oil. Yes, as your other comment said, you can substitute essential oils for herbs you do not have but you also do not need to use ALL the herbs I mentioned either. You could make an oil infusion with just one of them like rosemary, or you can add as many different ones as you want. One re4asion I put such lists together is so people can pick and choose according to what is best for them or available to them
@@RainCountryHomestead 😊💗 I learned so much from you and like I said before, you’re the only one that I can let play in the background because the other ones have either too many ads or …not to be rude but their video gets annoying playing in the background😭
Do the herbs have to be dehydrated in order to use or can they be fresh? My hair has been thinning in the front as I get older. It sucks, lol. I have always had thick, long healthy hair. I have what some people call “virgin” hair. I have never dyed, bleached, permed or anything else to my hair. Just wash and rinse. I have been using ACV for a few yrs now, but it does not seem to work. I am open to any suggestions. 💜
It depends on how you are planning to use them. Fresh herbs can be used to make teas, tinctures, and vinegars (though dried can be used for any of those) however when making infused oils, you should only use dried herbs. I am not sure what you are asking in regards to the vinegar or what you mean by it not working. I does not clean? It does not condition?
I have tried ACV shampoo products with no change. I have tried using ACV that has the mother in it, no change. I have used just coconut oil, no change. Just trying to figure out what might work.
No. I occasionally may add a dab of coconut oil or my own homemade skin cream to the ends if it is one of those days where it is more flyaway. Or I will use the homemade hair spray if I go to pull it back and I have a bunch of hairs that do not stay put
Yesterday I ordered the 10mm vacuum canister from your Etsy shop! Very excited for it's arrival. I am ignorant of the use of this type of vacuum sealing and have watched your videos' which give me confidence. However, after I placed my order I wondered if I should have purchased the extra hoses that come separately Could you guide me? Thanks so much! P.S I have both the jar sealing lids that came with my non working food saver.
If you have a brake bleeder kit, you likely already will have the 4" hose that will fit on the chamber you ordered so it is unlikely you will need the adaptor hoses. I do explain a lot of this in the description on the store as well.
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you! I have already purchased the break bleeder you suggested on Amazon. (My first ever Amazon purchase!) Say a llttle prayer for me that all goes well.
Yes, you can use essential oils, I do add them into the oil infusion recipe that I linked to in the description box but it is likely you have at least rosemary, sage, and red pepper in your kitchen you can use in the infusion
My hair is very fine and thin-ish so I’ve worn it in a pixi cut for years. Would this help someone with thin hair? My hair is basically the opposite of yours in nearly every way, which is why I wonder if it’ll work for me? Or just weigh my hair down?
The whole idea of this list is that most of what I said should be good for everyone to some degree regardless of their hair type. Remember, the oils can be washed out and some of what I talked about is internal health
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you - and yes, I’ve been working on the nutrition aspect for several years now. Lots of ferments, homegrown/home raised and nutritionally dense foods as possible. Always room to continue working and growing, though, to be sure. Thank you for all you do! I’m a newer follower and I love your channel.
@@darkbrewedhemlock7361 Brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush stimulates natural oils in your scalp also, just before you shampoo. Sometimes to much oil clog the pores. Apple cider Vinegar rinses with water are also very good.
Heidi, thank you for sharing your info. How often should you use the oil for growth; weekly? More frequently? I generally shampoo every two days or so.
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you. You're hair is beautiful, love it. Mine is not curly and thick but hoping/praying that it will be restored to youthful radiance and “glory” again. Menopause can't win here! 🙏🙌✝️
I answer that in this video from last year which stands more true now with the added responsibility of watching my grandson 3 days a week: th-cam.com/video/e2nZp222R3o/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, Heidi. Can I ask what is the rooster about? In some of your videos, I notice a clip art rooster that bounces from one end to the other. 😊 I can't figure it out. Lol
We have been vegetarians for the past 13 years but recently added grass fed ground beef to our diet because of the healthy fats. With food shortages upon us it just made sense to get the natural health benefits from this meat. With meat prices skyrocketing, I have taken to canning certain healthy meats quite heavily to get ahead of the hefty prices. I don’t waste any of the fat caps either. There are so many benefits. Glad I woke up to the fact that there are many health benefits to eating certain meats. Its all a out a healthy balance. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge Heidi!!! Bless you.
Too bad that you stop being vegetarian...animals have the same right to live as anybody else in this universe...they are not put on this earth to serve human beings but to share this world with all the rest of the alive beings...Respect them!!!
Soy was a life saver for me back in the day. It helped after a hysterectomy where nothing else did. Also helped my daughter with cramps. I think we’re low on estrogen though. Wish the powers that be would quit messing with our food.
I am sure it can be helpful for some but I still do not recommend it, especially in these days. I hope everyone that reads the above comment takes time to watch the video I did on menopause, dealing with it naturally and why I do not recommend soy in general.
I might consider it though but if I do, it will take a couple months at least before I can get it on my store as I need time to get a lot of oil infused
Can you remind me please. Are the nasturtium leaves high in resveratrol? I want to say I heard you talk about it in one of your vids but I can't recall. Also, is there a quantity of too many leaves to consume over a period of time? I know too much of anything can be bad so I'm curious.
I could not find any specific information in my limited time on ifthey are high in resveratrol and while they are relatively safe, any herb used for medicinal purposes or taken in high quantities for a long period can be harmful. I just have to assume this with any of them even if I have not found any specific information on it. If using an herb medicinally, it is always while to take breaks from it or switch it up with herbs that have similar medicinal properties. Even peppermint, while it can be soothing to the gut, too much over an extended period of time can have the opposite affect as it can kill off the good bacteria needed for proper digestion
@@RainCountryHomestead Got it and thank you for getting back to me. Have a great week. By the way your quilts are beautiful and your vids on upcyceling shirts and jeans have become a welcome benefit in our home.
Hi Heidi! I am making some hair oil and was wondering if I could use horsetail in the infusion. I know to take it as tea but would it be beneficial in the oil you think?
Yes, you can and in fact my last batch I made up I added horstail since I was able to collect some this past summer from our other piece of property and dry it up
@@RainCountryHomestead THank you! Have a batch steeping on my window sill right now! I also added some pomagrante peels that I had dried.... WE will see how it goes!
Is there a specific brand of Biotin that is better to use? I've been using 2 months but haven't seen any changes, have also tried using rosemary essential oils. Thanks.
I am sure there are brands that are better than others. I do recommend making sure you are taking a capsule and not a tablet. I am taking NOW Foods brand myself.
I make a tea from dried horsetail but do not drink it daily. I do not have specific measurements to give you, I just add some to my teapot along with other herbs I am in the mood for at the time
Lol. Have very very fine thin hair. Putting oil on my scalp would be a treatment/ wash process only. Couldn’t put oil on hair n leave on all day. I’d look like a homeless gross person. You have beautiful hair and that mass of hair would soak up oil n just shine.
They are there, you have to make sure to click on the word "more" or "show more", depending on the device you are on, found just below the video screen
Why everybody say this is good for you hair and nails I have no hair my nails is very very hard and grow like crazy and I am organic food my friend of mine have tick long hair never have good nails I do not understand that I think different vitamins for different nails and different 4A hair
I have a lot of links so I do not know which one you are referring to but I post links in the description box that is found below the video itself. If you are unsure where that is or how to open it, here are some instructions: th-cam.com/video/eRwTsKRPY48/w-d-xo.html&pp=sAQA
Pregnant women should be careful; some herbs can be abortafacients or start uterine contractions. The point of putting the stuff on your scalp is it does absorb into the body. Just be mindful and do research. 💞👶👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿
And this is why I put together lists like this and I thought I had mentioned in this video like I do in almost all of my videos like this is that people need to research for themselves based on their health conditions, medications they are on, allergies, if they are pregnant, and so on. Doing a quick skim of the video, it appears I did forget to say it but I do so many videos like this and say such things so often so sometimes it gets left out as I feel like I have said it already but you can watch any of the other videos in the series and see that I have mentioned it before
@@RainCountryHomestead I'm sure most people know about pregnancy and the risks associated with some herbs; I just thought a lot of people DON'T realize that not only can you absorb chemicals through the skin, but absorption through the scalp is FIVE TIMES HIGHER than your skin. 😘
This is how my hair is naturally. I was born this way. This video is to help people who have thinning hair. That has nothing to do with how straight or curly someone’s hair is. I certainly would never be rude enough to tell someone who has naturally straight hair that I do not like flat, stick straight hair. Good grief!

I feel the same. Because of what I have been through. Some now are saying carnivore no vegetables . Well tried that too. Big problems happened. Some can have it work . Not me . What you are saying is what I get best resultsfrlom from Ontario Canada
I have never been one to believe in a diet that eliminates a whole food group but still decided to try vegetarian and then vegan for a time. I even did grain free for a very short time but never with the intention of it being a long term thing but rather to reset my metabolism, nothing more.
Excellent information. I love your hair. I’m growing mine out and am excited to try some of your tips and recipes!
Love your channel keep up the good work
Thank you sweetie GODBLESS you
Coconut 🥥🥥 Oil is A Great Emollient
Great list! I recall reading many years ago that juniper is another good one to use.
I noticed your Brazil nuts ,I buy in 5lb bags from Azure, do you also ,just vacuum seal those as well, or keep the jar in fridge ,I have heard that these are most susceptible to going rancid ,I have started vacuum sealing all the nuts and keeping in my coolest room but unsure of the Brazil nut??
I also want yo thank you, for always answering, I have noticed other channels ,when they get so big they stop actually communicating with all the people who helped them achieve their success, so I greatly thank you very much. And as always your videos have so much depth and knowledge ,Thank you!!
I actually cover the Brazil nuts and storage in this video that came out on Friday: th-cam.com/video/4ZvA7sWMdRQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you 🙏
Thank you Heidi
I've been having a bout of alopecia...2 bald spots. Doctor shot cortisone into my scalp, twice.... ugh, should have known better, 2 months later still bald spots. I started putting tea tree oil on the spots nightly. After about a week and a half, I started seeing some regrowth. One is nearly gone now. I've been eating nasturtium flowers and drinking lemon balm tea with Thai basil in it... not sure if that's helping or not.
Doesn’t tea tee oil kill off demodex (which ppl have been saying cause hair loss supposedly.)
Mix rosemary oil with sesame oil and apply to your scalp with an eye dropper and then massage in. Leave in for a last an hour.
It stimulates the follicles. I've used this after chemotherapy and got my hair back. I've also heard of people putting used coffee grounds in a hair mask but I've not tried that remedy.
😉
@@ElinWinblad I had never heard of this but it is interesting. I think my hair loss was caused by high stress due to some tough life events at the time. I've had no more bald spots since that time. It is on the thinner side at this point, which I attribute to age (probably missing vitamins, minerals or nutrients) and I am working on trying to thicken it up with rosemary, castor oil and other natural herbs etc.
@@watchandpray8918 I've been using a homemade rosemary (picked from my own plant) hair wash. Maybe I'll add the sesame oil as well. Thank you!
You have a beautiful complexion I'm hoping there's a video from a while back that discusses skin health. Great information.
I have several actually but I will link you to my newest one: th-cam.com/video/iVrRdApD50g/w-d-xo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you.. 👍
🌞good morning Heidi thanks for sharing this
Video you have a wide verity of health oils we can use for hair I kind of got behind on the Herble hair oils blends good reminder thanks.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
thank you
I should add some nettle to my hair vinegar!!! Thanks!
Good topic great suggestion!
Thank you, Heidi. My hair is a straight as yours is curly. 😆
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Hello Heidi! God is good, all the time! I know this is not a dehydrating video but as you were reading off ingredients, you mentioned Avocados. I love Avocados and it came to my mind, can you dehydrate Avocados? I'm fairly new to your channel and you have a lot of videos so I'm not sure if you have made a video on dehydrating Avocados or not. I appreciate all you're doing, using the various things we can grow, and showing us how we can use them. Blessings to you beautiful lady. Missouri Wrightchk
I have never tried dehydrating them and always assume it would not work well due to their high fat content. Maybe I will experiment with a small slice at some point but am out of avocados right now
Good morning Heidi!🌞
I may have mentioned this before but a hair dresser told me years ago that tea tree oil is another good one for hair growth. I noticed quite a difference! My hair grows really slow. If my hair is longer, as it is now, I may not need a trim but every 6-9 months.
Blessings! 💜
I am inspired by your videos. Thank you. My question is can I use fresh flowers instead of dried for oil infusion?
Infused oils should always be made with dried. The moisture in the plant material can cause the oil to go bad
Great video as usual!
It's January 20th, 2023, Heidi, and I am just now seeing this (the binging continues - well, it will continue after I do some more reading on our small group study "A Prosperous Soul"), and I am wondering if using dandelion root tea would work. I have rosemary, sage, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, and I forgot what else you said. Anyway, would a very strong tea work to mix in with the other herbs and oil and just rub it on the scalp? I have lost alot of hair since this bioweapon thing....ugh, plus, I just found out my thyroid has been on the fritz. I hope you'll see this. Thank you!
Oil and water do not mix so it would be difficult to mix tea with oil. Yes, as your other comment said, you can substitute essential oils for herbs you do not have but you also do not need to use ALL the herbs I mentioned either. You could make an oil infusion with just one of them like rosemary, or you can add as many different ones as you want. One re4asion I put such lists together is so people can pick and choose according to what is best for them or available to them
I love it when I see other people comment on the 'bio weapon' Very sad to see so many with their head in the sand.
And most foods are good, if not overate.
Just letting your playlist play in the background! Algorithm comment God bless!
Thank you!
@@RainCountryHomestead 😊💗 I learned so much from you and like I said before, you’re the only one that I can let play in the background because the other ones have either too many ads or …not to be rude but their video gets annoying playing in the background😭
Do the herbs have to be dehydrated in order to use or can they be fresh? My hair has been thinning in the front as I get older. It sucks, lol. I have always had thick, long healthy hair. I have what some people call “virgin” hair. I have never dyed, bleached, permed or anything else to my hair. Just wash and rinse. I have been using ACV for a few yrs now, but it does not seem to work. I am open to any suggestions. 💜
It depends on how you are planning to use them. Fresh herbs can be used to make teas, tinctures, and vinegars (though dried can be used for any of those) however when making infused oils, you should only use dried herbs.
I am not sure what you are asking in regards to the vinegar or what you mean by it not working. I does not clean? It does not condition?
I have tried ACV shampoo products with no change. I have tried using ACV that has the mother in it, no change. I have used just coconut oil, no change. Just trying to figure out what might work.
Great video!! Do you use gel or cream
On your hair?
No. I occasionally may add a dab of coconut oil or my own homemade skin cream to the ends if it is one of those days where it is more flyaway. Or I will use the homemade hair spray if I go to pull it back and I have a bunch of hairs that do not stay put
Yesterday I ordered the 10mm vacuum canister from your Etsy shop! Very excited for it's arrival. I am ignorant of the use of this type of vacuum sealing and have watched your videos' which give me confidence. However, after I placed my order I wondered if I should have purchased the extra hoses that come separately Could you guide me? Thanks so much!
P.S I have both the jar sealing lids that came with my non working food saver.
If you have a brake bleeder kit, you likely already will have the 4" hose that will fit on the chamber you ordered so it is unlikely you will need the adaptor hoses. I do explain a lot of this in the description on the store as well.
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you! I have already purchased the break bleeder you suggested on Amazon. (My first ever Amazon purchase!) Say a llttle prayer for me that all goes well.
Hi! How about essential oils if you don't have dried herbs now.
Yes, you can use essential oils, I do add them into the oil infusion recipe that I linked to in the description box but it is likely you have at least rosemary, sage, and red pepper in your kitchen you can use in the infusion
My hair is very fine and thin-ish so I’ve worn it in a pixi cut for years. Would this help someone with thin hair? My hair is basically the opposite of yours in nearly every way, which is why I wonder if it’ll work for me? Or just weigh my hair down?
The whole idea of this list is that most of what I said should be good for everyone to some degree regardless of their hair type. Remember, the oils can be washed out and some of what I talked about is internal health
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you - and yes, I’ve been working on the nutrition aspect for several years now. Lots of ferments, homegrown/home raised and nutritionally dense foods as possible. Always room to continue working and growing, though, to be sure. Thank you for all you do! I’m a newer follower and I love your channel.
@@darkbrewedhemlock7361 Brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush stimulates natural oils in your scalp also, just before you shampoo. Sometimes to much oil clog the pores. Apple cider Vinegar rinses with water are also very good.
Heidi, thank you for sharing your info. How often should you use the oil for growth; weekly? More frequently? I generally shampoo every two days or so.
I used to apply it after every time I washed my hair which is every other day.
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you. You're hair is beautiful, love it. Mine is not curly and thick but hoping/praying that it will be restored to youthful radiance and “glory” again. Menopause can't win here! 🙏🙌✝️
Have you put a book together? I would love to have a book on all you talk about.
I answer that in this video from last year which stands more true now with the added responsibility of watching my grandson 3 days a week: th-cam.com/video/e2nZp222R3o/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, Heidi. Can I ask what is the rooster about? In some of your videos, I notice a clip art rooster that bounces from one end to the other. 😊 I can't figure it out. Lol

We have been vegetarians for the past 13 years but recently added grass fed ground beef to our diet because of the healthy fats. With food shortages upon us it just made sense to get the natural health benefits from this meat. With meat prices skyrocketing, I have taken to canning certain healthy meats quite heavily to get ahead of the hefty prices. I don’t waste any of the fat caps either. There are so many benefits. Glad I woke up to the fact that there are many health benefits to eating certain meats. Its all a out a healthy balance. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge Heidi!!! Bless you.
Too bad that you stop being vegetarian...animals have the same right to live as anybody else in this universe...they are not put on this earth to serve human beings but to share this world with all the rest of the alive beings...Respect them!!!
Soy was a life saver for me back in the day. It helped after a hysterectomy where nothing else did. Also helped my daughter with cramps. I think we’re low on estrogen though. Wish the powers that be would quit messing with our food.
I am sure it can be helpful for some but I still do not recommend it, especially in these days. I hope everyone that reads the above comment takes time to watch the video I did on menopause, dealing with it naturally and why I do not recommend soy in general.
Thanks for sharing. Do you sell already prepared oil for hair growth?.
No, sorry, I do not.
I might consider it though but if I do, it will take a couple months at least before I can get it on my store as I need time to get a lot of oil infused
Thanks for your response, much appreciate.
Do you know and uses for the greasewood plant.
Never heard of it before
My daughter and I discovered the best and easiest way for great hair growth - sunlight.
Yep, getting sun is helpful for sure. That is something I have noticed all my life
Can you remind me please. Are the nasturtium leaves high in resveratrol? I want to say I heard you talk about it in one of your vids but I can't recall. Also, is there a quantity of too many leaves to consume over a period of time? I know too much of anything can be bad so I'm curious.
I could not find any specific information in my limited time on ifthey are high in resveratrol and while they are relatively safe, any herb used for medicinal purposes or taken in high quantities for a long period can be harmful. I just have to assume this with any of them even if I have not found any specific information on it. If using an herb medicinally, it is always while to take breaks from it or switch it up with herbs that have similar medicinal properties. Even peppermint, while it can be soothing to the gut, too much over an extended period of time can have the opposite affect as it can kill off the good bacteria needed for proper digestion
@@RainCountryHomestead Got it and thank you for getting back to me. Have a great week. By the way your quilts are beautiful and your vids on upcyceling shirts and jeans have become a welcome benefit in our home.
Hi Heidi! I am making some hair oil and was wondering if I could use horsetail in the infusion. I know to take it as tea but would it be beneficial in the oil you think?
Yes, you can and in fact my last batch I made up I added horstail since I was able to collect some this past summer from our other piece of property and dry it up
@@RainCountryHomestead THank you! Have a batch steeping on my window sill right now! I also added some pomagrante peels that I had dried.... WE will see how it goes!
Is there a specific brand of Biotin that is better to use? I've been using 2 months but haven't seen any changes, have also tried using rosemary essential oils. Thanks.
I am sure there are brands that are better than others. I do recommend making sure you are taking a capsule and not a tablet. I am taking NOW Foods brand myself.
@@RainCountryHomestead thanks!
can horsetail powder be ingested for regrowth of hair and how much is to much?
I make a tea from dried horsetail but do not drink it daily. I do not have specific measurements to give you, I just add some to my teapot along with other herbs I am in the mood for at the time
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you so much!
What can I use for a scalp that is constantly itchy?
Heidi, would you also use the Turpentine in your hair oil?
One can but I personally do not. The main thing it would be good for in that case is to help carry the infused oil deeper into the tissue
Lol. Have very very fine thin hair. Putting oil on my scalp would be a treatment/ wash process only. Couldn’t put oil on hair n leave on all day. I’d look like a homeless gross person. You have beautiful hair and that mass of hair would soak up oil n just shine.
Can I use my rosemary that has already dried to make rosemary oil or tincture?
Yes, dried is really best to use when making tinctures and when infusing oils, one should ONLY use dried
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you.
None of your links are showing up, so how can I get your recipes especially for hair loss?
They are there, you have to make sure to click on the word "more" or "show more", depending on the device you are on, found just below the video screen
Why everybody say this is good for you hair and nails I have no hair my nails is very very hard and grow like crazy and I am organic food my friend of mine have tick long hair never have good nails I do not understand that I think different vitamins for different nails and different 4A hair
Wishing I could find nasturtium. My green thumb doesn’t work.
I stay away from soy because of my thyroid
Question...can I use mint essential oil in my oil?
yes
Thank you for your help!just never know..have a blessed day!
Thanks for sharing God bless

Pregnant women should be careful; some herbs can be abortafacients or start uterine contractions. The point of putting the stuff on your scalp is it does absorb into the body.
Just be mindful and do research.
💞👶👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾👶🏿
And this is why I put together lists like this and I thought I had mentioned in this video like I do in almost all of my videos like this is that people need to research for themselves based on their health conditions, medications they are on, allergies, if they are pregnant, and so on. Doing a quick skim of the video, it appears I did forget to say it but I do so many videos like this and say such things so often so sometimes it gets left out as I feel like I have said it already but you can watch any of the other videos in the series and see that I have mentioned it before
@@RainCountryHomestead I'm sure most people know about pregnancy and the risks associated with some herbs; I just thought a lot of people DON'T realize that not only can you absorb chemicals through the skin, but absorption through the scalp is FIVE TIMES HIGHER than your skin.
😘
I don’t like bushy hair.
This is how my hair is naturally. I was born this way. This video is to help people who have thinning hair. That has nothing to do with how straight or curly someone’s hair is. I certainly would never be rude enough to tell someone who has naturally straight hair that I do not like flat, stick straight hair. Good grief!
I don't like crook neck squash.
😂🤣
Debbie-Texas Jennifer, sounds like you might be a troll dear, and a rude one at that!
