I thoroughly enjoyed this. My mother-inlaw has what one would have called dropsy in the old days. She takes a medicine for her failing heart containing digitalis. She turns 86 this year and she still lives alone and loves life because of this amazing flower. Thankyou for telling us such an inspiring story. I believe that Mrs Hutton of Shropshire should be memorialised with a statue and plaque for her great contribution to man and womankind. Perhaps even a postumous Nobel Prize. Her observation of nature would have saved millions of lives worldwide.
When the term "Man" is used in "Mankind" it does not mean "Men". It is a collective asexual term that encompasses all human beings. When you use the incorrect term "Womankind" you encourage division, group think etc. Another example is the term "Human beings". This does not describe men alone even though it has "man" in it.

Had so many in my garden one year , hard to hang up washing around them..was expecting them to migrate to tapping on my window like the Day of the Triffids 😂😮😅
I have an abundance of beautiful purple foxgloves that grow all around my bamboo. A gardening Facebook page almost scared me into cutting them out! I’m so happy to watch this video.
I so enjoy your enthusiastic presentations and obvious love of plants and folklore and appreciate your affirmation of Mrs. Hutton and her contributions
I just love your entire channel. It's so cheery and interesting. It really brightens up any gloomy day with a bit of beauty, wonder, and knowledge. 🤗 Thanks for doing this!
I was born during the 2nd W.War, so my parents would have pulled a bunch of wild foxgloves and put them in a vase, i was about 4 years at the time, and i used to pull the flowers of the plant, and suck the juice out of them, i might have gone through a whole stem, before being caught on. The sweet fluid was inside the finger glove of the flower. I loved the taste, in those days everything was rashioned, sweets etc. The foxgloves never did me any harm, i am now 80, and still here. ❤ WIinifred Thompson. G.B. NORTHERN IRELAND. aGain Google, where is my symbol the Union Jack.
These are so beautiful, we are blessed with them in the PNW, such that the tallest one I happened to find and measure was 13 feet, in the Olympic woodlands 😮
Most of mine are white. They mix with the pink ones to make pale pink. They are wild. Just started to appear. Now I harvest the seeds and throw them around. I love them
The foxgloves underneath my pear tree grew to over 6 ft this year, I put it down to the amount of rain we had over the last winter and spring. On the other hand I lost rosemary, mint and thyme, I guess they needed drier conditions.
As a child living on a farm I used to pick foxglove flowers blow through the little tube while holding the end closed, then 'pop' them. Now 68 and still alive!
Fascinating! I am particularly fond of Foxgloves, and take great care to keep them safe while strimming the sides of our drive during late Spring,before they are fully in bloom. Up to this point,I had no idea of their extraordinay medicinal qualities. Thank you for this most interesting and informative video. My kindest regards.
Had a magical enveloping experience meditating with this flower tincture at a Plant deva spirit talk held by Emma Fitchet..(used to be Farrell) last year.. especially good for grief
@@homeiswhereourheartis Thank you for sharing your wisdom on such an important topic as free food and ancient knowledge in medical practice. Truly inspiring and informative and again 🙏👍🏴
Since you didn't mention how .. I asked ChatGPT prompt: "SCENARIO: modern medicine has not discovered digoxin. How is digitalis purpurea prepared for the condition of Dropsy?" We live in fun times with an uncertain economic future! Buying the book also!
It is a shame though that WW did not make known what the other herbs in her recipe were. No doubt they counteracted the harmful effects of the Foxglove and worked synergistically.
Wonderfully high quality educational content, and very nice style of presentation! Love that you did such thorough research, I learned interesting historical information. Best wishes and thank you from a new subscriber. ❤❤❤
I I have foxglove growing in my yard. I have pink and purple ones and some white ones. Thanks for sharing the healing aspects of it. Northern Wisconsin.
Hi, I just discovered your channel today, watched several videos already. Well presented, entertaining and very informative. Thank you. You have a new subscriber 🙂
It’s been a poor year for most flowers I’ve found. There just hasn’t been enough sun where I am it’s been so disappointing. Too much cloud seeding going on- wish they’d stop.
❤❤mother Hutton..long may her name be spoken .n her knowledge of the deadly beauty of the foxglove plant. Imagine all her other tinctures .i wonder what became of her. She has recipes that she got from someone else. Be them written or memorized.. so she was taught this .. she is intriguing!! I especially ❤ the fairy hands and footprints how special .I will see them forever more..watching frm New Zealand...
Thanks great video, that 1st year plant looks like mullein I'll have to Google the leaves for the difference 🙃, so similar in there life span and look except for the flowers of course ♥
I saw a lovely hybrid in a customers garden last week. Pink on the bottom half and yellow on the top half! Going to try to remember to collect the seeds 👍🏼
I just hope people won't handle this flower and make teas, tinctures, etc. I'm extremely allergic to even touching it. Though I have many in my Cottage Garden for the beauty. I learned how to handle them with disposable gloves and washing my clothes afterwards. These plants have to be used by those with great knowledge. It goes for any other plants as well. Dosage, mixtures, processing. People need knowledge not to get into trouble. Nature offers many wonders, but without knowledge they can also kill. I'm all for herbs and nutrition. God gaves us all we need. Although sometimes things are not as simple as they seem.
I remember someone relling me these are dangerous to animals too. They were referring to horses at the time. Lovely looking plant though. Enjoyed the video mate.
They do really fuck you up if you get in your blood stream. Guy I worked with on building sight was delivering windows. Then for two weeks he was no show. When we saw him again he was fucked up. He was mowing lawn and grazed his knuckle on garden wall and brushed past the foxglove. He described what happened and he said he was really ill heart kept going crazy, mad pains in his chest sweating like mad vomiting. All of it. Like a soldier he grinned and bared it. Flushed himself all sorts. Eventually he was alright. Be good to some how extract this poison and blow dart it on all ceos of the clot shot.
Hi. New subscriber here. I really like the info you gave in your video. Could you also include info on how to prepare it and how much people would take for this type of illness? Thanks so much!

I think someone should start a petition for a statue!
I have a feeling big pharma will soon put a stop on that

Listen to the birds singing and the glorious shades of green of the trees.
Truly a great time to be alive.

Good on you girl .also from best country in the world ULSTER

That is very intresting about mother Hutton. It actually being true. Thankyou!
I've truly enjoyed listening to you, I've always enjoyed growing foxgloves but didn't realise the history of it. Thank you.
By far the most interesting and entertaining info I’ve ever heard about foxgloves!❤
Fantastic!
Fae folk wear them as hats and Foxes wear them on their feet to silently get around 😉 great video. Thank you
Yes! 😎
I love your energy and enthusiasm. The world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it.
This is your best video yet!!!! I absolutely love the folklore and history deep dive into this plant. Wonderful job!
Thank you!
I love the guitar music I could listen to it on repeat for time!
The foxgloves underneath my pear tree grew to over 6 ft this year, I put it down to the amount of rain we had over the last winter and spring. On the other hand I lost rosemary, mint and thyme, I guess they needed drier conditions.
Absolutely incredible ❤thank you for your time and effort and brilliant tales.
Just fantastic. 🎉
So very beautiful and always reminds me of Beatrix Potter. ❤

Wonderful wonderful about the folclore around de plants. Thank you for sharing
None of mine flowered this year, they've flowered for years but none this year, they usually self seed. new subscriber
It’s been a poor year for most flowers I’ve found. There just hasn’t been enough sun where I am it’s been so disappointing. Too much cloud seeding going on- wish they’d stop.
Crazy how they flower all the same way, I mean all the different plants, it's the same in an area where I live, all facing the same way.
Thank you, love the story.
You're awesome! Thanks.
Thank you!!!! ❤
Very good video , wonderful plant , there are blue ones here in Jersey.
thank you! :) you are such a joy!
Oh cool, I've got lots of them growing around my place! I'll be sure to cut some flowers and keep them around just in case.
Absolutely Fantastic. I'm going to sign up...

You can also get a lovely yellow dye from the flowers.
Thanks great video, that 1st year plant looks like mullein I'll have to Google the leaves for the difference 🙃, so similar in there life span and look except for the flowers of course ♥
They are very similar looking plants. But when in flower the difference is clear 😄

Very interesting. There are white foxgloves in our garden. If you put dead foxgloves on the compost heap does that make the compost poisonous?
Only if you eat it. Otherwise the toxins get filtered out by the plant systems.
Don’t burn them as the smoke is toxic with the chemical,in it ,and breathing it in ,it’s dangerous .
"Mrs Huttonof Shropshire" should be credited for find the cure for a sick heart❤..Thenk you so much for this information..I just found you 🤗👏👏👏👏👏
They do really fuck you up if you get in your blood stream. Guy I worked with on building sight was delivering windows. Then for two weeks he was no show. When we saw him again he was fucked up.

Great idea mate
Sounds like withdrawls lol
😂
Great video, they grow wild all around my house, ive seen white flowered ones too, subbed👍
Thanks and welcome
If its poison how do you make the tea,just wondering.Fantastic presentation.
