Had a doctor who did several times . I took my child in for ringworm and he said I can give you a prescription that will cost you fifty dollars or you can use a green black walnut which will work faster.
I wish you had a book detailing the plants with all the benefits & possible side effects along with what they treat & exactly how to identify them & not get them mixed up as anything else. I also wish it included how to prepare the plant into the form we need to treat each condition, how to use it, & how much to take per weight. Also including how much to use for a child or if it’s not safe for kids. That would be one amazing book & resource. I’d buy it! If we don’t have all the supplies to prepare the plants it’s not going to do us much good. A list of the ones needed & even if you could suggest good reliable sources for any supplies needed. For someone like myself who has adhd I’d prefer one that cuts the fluff & tells me exactly what I need to know.

Love your show with your in-depth commentary! I recently moved to our home in the Trent-hills, Ontario, in the woods; my intent is to build my gardens into natural alchemy,using native plants in all my new gardens. I am an artist, retired Interior Designer, now working as a Fine Artist. It is important to me to create beauty! Each time I build, or create a new garden I have a very precise formula of colour, textures It its an exciting to seek the best possible path.
I added BeeBalm to my garden a few years back. I've discovered it wants to "walk away " from its spot! ( dead plants fall over and critters eating seeds spread seed out of area) so as the flower head dies,I Dead Head them and break them up over the spot I have for them. Same with the Catnip. Good luck all😊 🍃🕊🍃
@@HighlanderNorth1 heya! I don't have cats anymore. I do dry it and use for tea! Ever get stomach problems that won't go away? It might work. Some say is very relaxing tea. And it's pretty. I sometimes use an old sock, fill it with catnip and tie it off, take it along to visit friends with cats, toss it on the floor and watch the show😄
Catnip is great to rub on the body and keep mosquitoes away. You might want to look into more ways that catnip can help the body besides making kitty cats all crazy
I live in central Oklahoma. Potawatomi County to be exact and I've not seen any of the plants ever 😢. Really sounds like Horse Mint could be the answer to most of my body problems right now. Especially my food not digesting for a long time. I have been fortunate enough to find mullein growing on my property and i have harvested the leaves and flowers. It's been so dry i feel like it's almost time to harvest the flower stocks for seeds. It's a biannual plant so having seeds for free is important because this plant has worked wonders for respiratory and coughs.
You can buy seeds or even get them for free from a lot of places. Sometimes nature needs some help after humans have done so much damage to nature/plants. I LOVE bee balm.
@@maryfolks9368 Hi Mary, I live in Cleveland County on hwy 9 near Lake Thunderbird. I've found Monarda punctata and Monarda Fistulosa in my area so I bet they're in your area too! I'm still seeing white clumps of the Monarda fistulosa on the side of the road here and there:) The plants I've transplanted into my garden are flowering now but when they go to seed I'll collect some and give them to you!
@@stacystepp7914 that's so amazing I live in Pink wooo, that's so neat. I would love that. I've actually got quite a few mullein plants on their 2nd year. The flower stocks are about ready to cut off for seeds....maybe we could trade if your needing mullein
@@Angelface11 yes, I totally agree with you. I'd love to start a herb garden but we rent the land that we're living on rt now. As soon as we can find a few acers ro buy we'll be moving as soon as possible so maybe container gardens might be a great idea for now. Thanks for the suggestion especially reminding me that we need to help plants grow where they can. God bless you
You magically appeared on my recommendations. Awesome knowledge. Thank you for sharing! Used to grow bee balm when I had yard for the native bees, never knew I could harvest it for myself. I need to start a horsemint plant for teas, love if it would help my timmitus.
I attempted to tap some sweet gum from sweet gum trees in my yard but when I cut the pattern the way that he showed. I’ve had nothing coming out of them.
Wow who knew, I love bee balm as a plant, it's beautiful! and bees love it. Also, I use oregano oil for a BUNCH of that and inflammation for those who have fibro or Lyme etc ;) oregano oil can help a lot!!
I also use oregano oil. I killed a sinus infection taking it with fermented garlic and honey. I add it to my oil I use for oil pulling and it is in both my antibiotic salve and my drawing salve.
Thank you! Monarda inhalation is the best remedy for me for an asthmatic attack. I inhale it at the first symptoms, but also during the acute period. In South Ontario.
It's more difficult to find bee balm where I live but I know where acres of horse mint are. Thank you for the cautions I will write them in my personal book.
I prefer ginger for upset stomach or nausea. I have tried mint for stomach issues and never really worked on me. Ginger even calms me down better mint ever did😊
@@EdieWeedy Treating Alcoholism is a medicinal use for it. It actually can be used, dried root powder as a thickener like arrowroot or cornstarch. Leaves can be seasoned and baked like kale and other veggie chips. New leaves, eaten as a spinach substitute and new tendrils like asparagus.
bee balm is widely available (and in different colors as a domestic variety) in any native plant nursery, and an increasing number of "regular" plant nurseries. do be warned that Monarda, like many mints... will take over whatever space you give it.
Would this be good for an infected tooth/gum? I don't have any pain, but the tooth is loose, and my breath is bad. Someone also mentioned that times, bad breath is caused by the throat. A dentist isn't an option at the moment - your assistant is greatly appreciated. I also downloaded your book 😊 Currently, I'm in the Great Lakes area. Thanks again!
I don't but it does grow in my area. It has the same uses for digestion, fevers, headaches, and probably congestion. Not sure if it's as powerful as an anti-infective or not.
@@LegacyWildernessAcademy Thank you. I’m in North Alabama. I’ve found 3 separate little patches of it. It smells really nice. Not like Monarda as I have grown that several times but not the native species.
Where do you find these plants? I live in central eastern part of South Carolina next to the Georgia line. I’ve never seen many of the wild plants mentioned by herbalist other than dandelion.
I think the mild headache is from the water inhalation like getting water from showering into the brain or water into the brain when swimming. I would just drink the tea. Thank you God bless you Maranatha
Water cannot enter the brain. Period. Ears, sinuses, yes. Otherwise your skull is cracked or a break/tear had occured in your dura. It's a closed system.
Question. At about 5 minutes in, there are tall green fernlike weeds behind you. What are those? We have them and the tiny white flowers smell great. There are invasive..
Can I use Scarlet Beebalm (Monarda didyma) The same as the wild bee balm in herbal medicines? Where in North Louisiana are you located? I live in Monroe for many years and got my horticulture degree from Louisiana Tech.
I grew these bergamots in my back yard. No one told me they take two years to flower! Yes, TWO YEARS! They didn't last long at all either. Within two weeks the flowers were gone. Very much of a disappointment!
The one thing that always puzzles me is how all these people know what the internal organs function is and that the plant is effecting that particular organ.
Your videos have been a blessing. I am intrigued how you don't need video effects, music, nor cursing to make them effective. God bless you Matthew.
You're the only one I've found who actually shows how to use these plants as well.
Imagine going to a doctor for a common issue, and instead of pushing pills on you, they list off 7 or 8 different herbs. And then you go to the pharmacy and get the herbs.
Format. We take over our own health not waiting for someone else
This already happens if you go to a fraction era of Chinese medicine.
There are those of us that will do that for those that will listen.
However pharmacy's etymological study goes to witchcraft hence all the side effects etc. we witness with a plethora of excused and "statistics" among other doctored info.

The odor of Bee Balm is identical to Oregano. It's abundant here in northwest Arkansas.

Bg phrma wants to ban all medicinal medicines...we are so doomed
It's big pharma that's has conditioned most humans to not use the best plants which are wild, all for control over us basically
You ROCK! Thank you so much for providing education and resources to the people!!
Thank you Matthew for the great info.
Spotted Horsemint we also have in the upper Midwest. They are so pretty. I found them in wild fields by the woods.

@@badger31738 I used the green gum balls after a storm blew them down from tree. Looking at trying the leaves at some point.

Your videos are extremely clear and very informative. Thanks
All of this information is very much appreciated. Thank you so very much.

Next do North East ❤ 👏 🙌
Great info on medicinal plants, something we all need to know, thank u so much for sharing with us
Your stuff is great Matthew!
I like how you explain stuff properly
Man talk about a true "Cure All" very interesting little plant.
I like bee balm tea 😊
I have wild bergamot but it's ground level. It's not growing vertical like this video is showing. Thank you God bless you Maranatha

informative and thank you for Medicinal plants of the Southeast guide
I prefer ginger for upset stomach or nausea. I have tried mint for stomach issues and never really worked on me. Ginger even calms me down better mint ever did😊
QUESTION: Will harvesting the leaves before the plant flowers be potent enough to use medicinally? Thank you.
I want this freakin' ad off my f/b page! So appreciate the video, though. Thank you for teaching us.
I live in Brooksville, Florida, and I can’t say I’ve ever seen these. I have to take a better look.
I live in OK and I love your videos. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. What about red bee balm? Does that have the same medicinal properties?
Yep, it sure does. All of the bee balms can be used the same.
As I sit here and look over my acres of Kudzu, hoping you will do a video on that. I've eaten some and its not bad.
My friend helped an alcoholic detox with kudzu tincture.
Goats can clear out an amazing amount of kudzu!

Treating Alcoholism is a medicinal use for it. It actually can be used, dried root powder as a thickener like arrowroot or cornstarch. Leaves can be seasoned and baked like kale and other veggie chips. New leaves, eaten as a spinach substitute and new tendrils like asparagus.
The native Florida Monarda is pink instead of yellow. I am growing it in my yard. 😊
bee balm is widely available (and in different colors as a domestic variety) in any native plant nursery, and an increasing number of "regular" plant nurseries. do be warned that Monarda, like many mints... will take over whatever space you give it.

Are there any wild natives like this in Florida? A Florida episode would be amazing. As well as other state profiles.
Florida has one of my favorite medicinals, bidens aka beggar’s ticks or Spanish needles. I used it to cure a recurring UTI
You rule bro, i might grow these if i get my hands on some
Very good video as usual. Do you have a video on Mountain Mint? Does it have similar uses to the Monarda?
I don't but it does grow in my area. It has the same uses for digestion, fevers, headaches, and probably congestion. Not sure if it's as powerful as an anti-infective or not.

Also- where did you get the pot you used for the tea demo? 😍
Thank you so much 🙏
We have it here by the roadsides, but the county sprays or mows every thing along the roads constantly.
Where do you find these plants? I live in central eastern part of South Carolina next to the Georgia line. I’ve never seen many of the wild plants mentioned by herbalist other than dandelion.
We have bee balm in Iowa.
I've been wanting to learn the was of natural healing
Ty I'm very interested in the Midwest. Illinois
What about the different colored varieties of bee balm? Same benefits?
I need some of these seeds!!! 😁
Your awesome 👍👍
I have red bee balm growing in my yard , would that have the same properties as the pink ??
Yep, it's used the same way. Thanks for watching!
If life were a post-apocalyptic game, Matthew Hunter is assigned to one of my team's 3 other slots.
Can you buy the Herb or seeds at a herbist shop?
Have you done a video on groundsel?
My bee balm kept getting some kind of white fungus on leaves will try to grow again next year
I have seen white flowers same shape
Would you have any suggestions for diverticulitis
Thanks Matt.
Thanks for watching!
When is the best time to harvest beebalm? Can is be done after the settles drop?
Matthew would that help with hyplori the stomach bacteria thanks gina
I had bergamot growing everywhere, but the last couple years it’s not growing here😕
Do you have any recommendations for books focusing on medicinal and edible plants in the rocky mountain areas? I live in Utah. Thanks!
Which parts of the plant? Leaves and flowers???
When is the best time to harvest for potency?
Both the leaves and flowers. Its generally a very potent plant regardless of when it's harvested.
Can you compare the anti-catarrhal and expectorant properties to those of slippery-elm bark (ulmus rubra)?
There are always a ton of beautyberries around my area...I think these are beauty berries...clusters of purple berries... Anything I can do with them?
Can you harvest it at any stage and then dry it?
Yep, any time is good
@@LegacyWildernessAcademy Make tincture or salve from live plants. When the plants are dried their medicinal properties decline.
How do I make a bee balm tincture? do I use the whole flower & leaves? thank you.
Yep, flowers and leaves
I am sad I live in mid Florida and have never seen a Horsemint.
Can you use to spray on plants for fungal growth

Great stuff. Would be better if NO HARRIS ads!!!
Creators don’t choose what ads pop up in their videos; that’s a YT-controlled thing.
Would you feel the same if the ads were for Yambo?
The one thing that always puzzles me is how all these people know what the internal organs function is and that the plant is effecting that particular organ.
I think the commercials were as long as the video.

Will this grow in ohio? Indoors? Outdoors?
