I'm a landscaper and one time my boss found a mullein plant on a job. He called me over and i didn't know what i was looking at. I ended up finding herbal jedis video on mullein just from my RUclips recommended and i went "THATS IT! THAT'S THE WEIRD CORN-LOOKIN-PLANT-FUZZY-THING". I never used to care about plants outside of woodworking but now I'm the crazy guy stopping by the side of the road looking for herbs. We find pretty much all these plants on job sites all the time so I'm trying to start my own herb garden
awakening you understood the knowledge you are truly a Wise person, God blessed you like King Solomon with more Knowledge & understanding to keep growing. Just remember if someone need help give them what God give you. Many blessing
I had a Cleaver plant in my sunroom. Took a pot inside with a failing fruit tree cutting and it had a little cleaver in it that I ignored and let grow. The tree cutting died but the cleaver lived on. It struggled to live and I babied it and started talking to it...mostly for self-entertainment silliness. It soon turned into an absolutely beautiful luscious plant. I named it Beaver Cleaver. LOL. People asked what it was and I told them it was my weed friend Beaver Cleaver. "The Beve" stayed healthy and well for quite some time, but eventually went to seed and died out. I missed my scrappy sunroom Beaver Cleaver, but I had rested his remains in an obscure spot by a cyclone fence at my farm. In the spring I realized he's come back to see me again, only bigger, more lush and hearty than ever! LOL! Taught me a real lesson in appreciation plants that I have ignored and didn't give much consideration to. The neighbors now think I'm the crazy old lady gardener who propagates "weeds"! And that I AM! LOL!
I JUST ADORE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way you present information and your ability to tune in to the plants purpose...you are a breathe of fresh air !! What I wouuldn't give to have had you as a friend. Be Well and keep us keeping on! xo!
I LOVE these videos! You make herbalism so fun and accessible. I swear almost every day I tell someone, often a kid, about a wild plant they should try using for a sting, cut, ache or what ever. This info rocks my world. Any way, thank you so much!!
It makes a good tonic for anyone. I made a very short video to show how simple it is to make a cold infusion- there is a link to the science of what it does.
I’m loving your channel !! I’m studying right now to get my AA in complementary alternative medicine, I want to become a registered herbalist so your video is inspiring me to continue on my journey
Congrats but just FYI there’s no true certification in herbalism. At least not in the USA. Many places say it but only to sell a printed piece of paper although many schools do have good knowledge there’s not such a thing as being certified or registered as it’s not recognized anywhere
I made artichoke tincture today dandelion root tincture and of course cleavers tincture!!! I love hopping on here to watch other people doing what I do!!! It's beautiful to see you doing these videos and keeping nature's medicine alive!!! We have to teach the next generation. Much love and respect brother 🌞🌾🍃🍃🌾🌞
Wow I need cleavers in my life. I am a worrier of small thing's and tend to be tense. I also have had kidney stone's and just have a sensative urinary track and bladder. TMI people sorry. I really think this will help me. Thank you for another piece of wisdom Yarrow.
I think the Cleavers worked. This was a great video. My cat always has the seeds stuck to her. I may follow her and see where her private stash is XD Thanks a bunch!
Wow that is totally amazing. A few years back I had this taking over my backyard. I took it to my local Nursery asked all around nobody could help me identified this. Thank you...
I love cleavers!! I found them growing in my side yard and decided to do a little research on them. I found out how healing they are! I made a tincture that's steeping right now and I make cold infusion cleaver tea every day. I have no idea why it works so good for me, but these lil babies make me feel so good! Less pains in my body, and my skin looks freaking incredible lol. Thanks for additional info I was not aware of!
I found some yesterday.made a tea with it outside sitting in the sun and ate some to also,feeling the power of it! have more tea for today. love it tastes really good to. you seem to post just what I need at the time,thank you for the wonderful information.loved the heart and humor. I used to make the head bands when I was little,brings back good memory's. much love and light
Lovely! Thank you again....I'm drinking at least two big mugs of this tea made with the fresh cleavers to help clearing my water systems as advised by a dear friend herbalist because I've noticed fluid retention building up in my face or legs....love this plants and love the way you bring some easy understanding of how to use nature to heal us and also how to appreciate and respect nature!! 🙏🏼🌈
Just learned about this from my Brilliant girlfriend. It's been in my front yard. I'll be drying some some to add to mullien, purple dead nettle and mint for tea. I'm blessed that it's close
I am down here on the Olympic/Kitsap peninsula and wanted to take the time to thank you for all of your hard work. Your channel has been and continues to be a tremendous resource in helping me to figure out what is growing around me. Thank you very much.
Honestly, you need to start traveling and hosting seminars for people to to come to learn from you! I think you would do amazing! You would be sharing knowledge, making some extra money, for the traveling and the family, as well as seeing the world! I know that I would buy a ticket, every time that you came to my area! You could even collect natural herbs from each area and then have the seminars on what you've found in the immediate area, so the people who come, know that they can, not only find them, but also, exactly what their uses are!
I couldn't help but to chuckle to myself toward your fun loving humorous presentation 😂. I'm in MA and have never seen these Herbs before but now wishing I could
As a powerful diuretic, you can definitely experience low blood pressure when using it. Monitoring your blood pressure initially is wise, until you get familiar with its effects.
I add these chopped up to scrambled eggs for a little extra nutrition. Tastes great that way. I’ve never tried roasting the little “beans” for a coffee substitute but I hear it’s good. Would probably take a while to collect quite a bit though. I’ll stick to chicory for that. Nice vid!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Just yesterday, I found cleavers growing on my property and was so thrilled because I knew it was yet another wild medicinal that I can add to the other wild herbals growing here. However, I didn't know it's particulars until I found your video and learned it's benefits. Now it will join the red clover, alfalfa, both plantains, dandelions, yarrow, wild rose, willow and others I'm still looking to learn about. Thanks again, Yarrow. :-D
What a wonderful Plant. I've heard that the little seed pods when very mature can be roasted for a coffee. I feel the medicine best if fresh so freezing seems to be the best way to store it, although a tincture can be made, it would be less medicinal.
Thanks so much for sharing my friend!!! i have these growing everywhere in my mountain house of Asturias!! now i´ll collect them instead of eliminate them!!! ;)
You’re magnetic! Love the feeling I got from watching this video. Chompin on my first bite of cleavers as I watched. You’ve got a new friend/subscriber! Thanks for what you do/be/share ❤️
best herb/wildcrafting video ever! Love cleavers and have used it plenty before, walking past it every day in the forest this spring and didn't pick any yet, this just gave me the boost to go out and get some lol
You just made my Sunday thank you..wish I would have known this plant when my kids were small..will have fun with it with any little ones I have the pleasure of walking on back roads with🌿❣️🌿
Oh my goodness, of course it is useful, I had a massive, and I mean massive number of this in my yard this year. I loved it as a kid too. Now it gets all entangled in my feet. Maybe I will use it for good next year.
Omg Ive been ripping thia out of my garden for years. Thought it was just an invasive weed. Now im looking and heard about Cleavers Tea for Inflammation and I now know I dont have to buy any as I have loads in the garden. #wowzers very happy.
Love this channel. Content is so helpful. Only thing is sometimes the background music distracts me from the teaching. Thank you for covering the basic common people plants.
There's an entrance to a small woodland directly across from my house. I walk my dog there, Im the only one who ever uses it, so its like an extension of my garden. He (the dog) often comes back full of cleavers, so I know they're over there, just never knew they were eatable! Thanks, I'll be trying them!
Thanks for the blessings, great to hear that from a fellow youtuber. Just subscribed to your channel too.. looks like some great stuff you are sharing as well.
Really want to make a cleaver crown now lol 😂 I gotta try the coffee thing tho. My kitty brings a bunch of the seeds home in his fuzz, I’ll have to grow some in my wildflower garden
I know this is an older video.. but Cleavers were also used as the first layer on a thatched roof in England anyway.. and they were collected for pharmaceutical companies as they used some of the properties they could extract in pharmaceutical drugs. Handy little invaders. :)
Hi. I just ate a salad and included this herb. Would you mind recommending a good book on the subject of wild edible herbs? I live in New Zealand and am 86
I would Google one that has a list of edible plants for your climate in New zealand. They have them for regional sections. Example I'm in the us, but I live in Georgia so I'd be looking for a book and the southeast of the us. Hope that helps.
Wow. Love this. Seen it as a youth but. Ever knew what it was. Q... can i assume it can also be used in salads.?? Seeing you eat it off the vine i mean. Great info and much needed. Thanks !)D 👍💃💃💃💃
Herbal Jedi!!! Thank you so much for doing these and making herbalism accessible!! Are cleavers as potent when dried? Read once that they're only viable when used fresh
Nice presentation but I would have liked to hear how to use it as a smoothie, or you put boiling water for tea or rather just soak it? Maybe somebody finds this post an can answer me. Thanks!
Hi. I had questions too. I made a short video recently on how to make a cold infusion and a tincture with cleavers- title is “spring tonic. “ I’m also drying it for tea in winter.
Just to add: a cold infusion preserves more of the good stuff in it. Boiling the fresh greens can destroy that. If you look at the description under the video, there are directions and a link to the science and dosage.
Could this plant be be bundled and hung to dry for use in the off season? I have insane amounts of this growing on my property and would love to have it for more than the few months a year that it takes over my yard.

Makes our job a lot harder to look at a clients yard full and see medicine not weeds that they see

I ❤ that Cleaver heart you made.
Helped me out withSarcoidosis when my lymph nodes were the size of kidneys. Worked fast
That's awesome.
Thanks for sharing. I am going to buy for someone I know with Sarcoidoices. Do you take it even when no flareups for regular maintenance?
It makes a good tonic for anyone. I made a very short video to show how simple it is to make a cold infusion- there is a link to the science of what it does.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
awesome, God blessed
That was a great video! I’ve been interested in finding some cleavers to start woking with.
I’m loving your channel !! I’m studying right now to get my AA in complementary alternative medicine, I want to become a registered herbalist so your video is inspiring me to continue on my journey

Wow, this has forever been one of my Most Disliked garden weeds!!!
Guess its about time that I am introduced to it's beneficial side! Thanks for that.
I love your vídeo and the energy in this green place. I collected my cleavers last week. Will collect more today.
I made artichoke tincture today dandelion root tincture and of course cleavers tincture!!! I love hopping on here to watch other people doing what I do!!!

There are herbs that can help you pass your stones naturally, can’t remember which off hand but it’s so worth a try! God bless!
Let us know if it helps. I'm so curious. I think I'll try it too.
Throw in blender with orange juice and banana for a yummy green smoothie
I think the Cleavers worked. This was a great video.
My cat always has the seeds stuck to her. I may follow her and see where her private stash is XD
Thanks a bunch!
Haha good plan!
my cat went crazy when I came inside smelling of cleaver
Wow that is totally amazing. A few years back I had this taking over my backyard. I took it to my local Nursery asked all around nobody could help me identified this. Thank you...
And so easy to use.
I love cleavers!! I found them growing in my side yard and decided to do a little research on them. I found out how healing they are!

You can also share this with your friends n family to save these plants.

I'm in MA and have never seen these Herbs before but now wishing I could
Get out in the woods and take a walk. They grow all over the US. I had one single cleaver plant come up in my driveway last year!
We saw some in Wayland, MA on an old rail trail.
As a powerful diuretic, you can definitely experience low blood pressure when using it. Monitoring your blood pressure initially is wise, until you get familiar with its effects.

Mitch McMitch Hello! You’ve got my interest up, do u chop up the whole plant. Thank u
Yes, do you include the stems too?
It’s all edible.
I will now stop weeding this out of my garden!
This saved my life when I came down with Sarcoidosis. Almost like magic.
Sooooo fun to watch your videos 😅❤👍☘🦋

Thank you Herbal Jedi. I see my weeds differently.
I really want to go play with cleavers now. That just looks like so much fun. And use it as medicine too, of course.
What a wonderful Plant. I've heard that the little seed pods when very mature can be roasted for a coffee. I feel the medicine best if fresh so freezing seems to be the best way to store it, although a tincture can be made, it would be less medicinal.
Very informative. Your information on these herbs would make a great book
Thanks so much for sharing my friend!!! i have these growing everywhere in my mountain house of Asturias!! now i´ll collect them instead of eliminate them!!! ;)
Hello Jedi of the herbal kind! :)
Thanks for sharing your interest and knowledge.
Nice, I loved looking at this again
You’re magnetic! Love the feeling I got from watching this video. Chompin on my first bite of cleavers as I watched. You’ve got a new friend/subscriber! Thanks for what you do/be/share ❤️
this is great! never realized these were edible! also find it funny that your behind a buddies house! keep up the foraging!
I adore the scent. I'd love to see cleavers perfume ha!
It is also called bed straw. I guess they stuffed mattresses with it in the old days.
best herb/wildcrafting video ever! Love cleavers and have used it plenty before, walking past it every day in the forest this spring and didn't pick any yet, this just gave me the boost to go out and get some lol
Great video full of awesome info
I love the music in the background.
Cleaver lemonade is great!
How on earth do you make it?
For me cleavers are the smell of the woods!
You just made my Sunday thank you..wish I would have known this plant when my kids were small..will have fun with it with any little ones I have the pleasure of walking on back roads with🌿❣️🌿

Great spring tonic!
It's dried in my pantry 😊

Love your videos.
I believe that ( your ok ) Brother
Much love to you and yours
Thanks for our educational informative and helpful very nice video
I knew you would have the deepest depth of generational hands on info
There's an entrance to a small woodland directly across from my house. I walk my dog there, Im the only one who ever uses it, so its like an extension of my garden. He (the dog) often comes back full of cleavers, so I know they're over there, just never knew they were eatable! Thanks, I'll be trying them!
My herbal teacher passed away a month ago. Today, the herbal community is coming together to celebrate his life. I'll be wearing a crown of cleavers.
You’re so awesome!!! Thank you!!!!
100%amazing as always,thank you
I just found you. :D You are great!!! Thank you for all the information and Thank you for presenting it in a functional way. :D
love your videos !!! thank you.
Hi from Port Alberni
So good, more videos on herbs please
This is the the white flowered species. If you ever see the yellow flowered variety: that's madder, a red/orange dye plant.
My dog Luna, was eating every one we passed by on our walk this morning.
Funny my dog likes them too. They appear to be in the mint family, square stem... but maybe our dogs smell something yummy we don't?
Great video thank you brother , thank you cleaver
love the vid my frend
Happy you dug this one..
Awesome Vid! Really dig your channel You have a vast body of knowledge! Thanks for your vids!
Blessings
BCB
Thanks for the blessings, great to hear that from a fellow youtuber. Just subscribed to your channel too.. looks like some great stuff you are sharing as well.
Plz do a video on herb Robert !
In England it has very many names, but my favourite is Sticky Willie'
Loved it
One of my favorite herbs
Do the roasted ground cleaver seeds have the same wonderful health and detox benefits as the plants matter does?
Really want to make a cleaver crown now lol 😂 I gotta try the coffee thing tho. My kitty brings a bunch of the seeds home in his fuzz, I’ll have to grow some in my wildflower garden
Thanks I cant wait to try it
Love ‘em!
WoW!!! Luv it. U make it such fun. Ty 🙂 How would u prepare it other than fresh? Ice cubes/ dried? What about a salve 😉
You can make a tincture- chop it up, preserve in alcohol. You can also dry it for tea.
I know this is an older video.. but Cleavers were also used as the first layer on a thatched roof in England anyway.. and they were collected for pharmaceutical companies as they used some of the properties they could extract in pharmaceutical drugs. Handy little invaders. :)
Interesting bit of history. Thanks!
Big heart ❤️
You’re good.
