    Planted this two years ago for the idea of a natural bandage and was delighted that the bees love it. Chickens pick at it so I'm glad to hear it has anti-parasitic properties!
    Thanks for the video.

    I just made the hubby a mouthwash with it, mixed with yarrow and cloves and he thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread for some tooth infect that caused pain. Also increased vit C and he feels so much better😊

    • @kleineroteHex
      @kleineroteHex 3 месяца назад +4

      @Cherishthamoment cut /tore it in smaller pieces and put everything in a pot, pored boiling water on and let it steep for ? 30 min or an hour? But as I think about it, a pint jar would be better, lid on and let it infuse over night might be better yet.

    Thanks for this one Heidi. Had no idea it did that much. I put fresh wooly lambs ear into 70% rubbing alcohol…. Like a tincture. Strain it after 8 weeks and put it in a spray bottle. If I cut myself (usually slice myself with the rotary cutter) I clean the wound really well and then spray the wound. Then I put on a butterfly. It stops the bleeding and closes the wound. Had a 1” long cut last week (on my forefinger knuckle) that should have had stitches…..wound was completely healed in five days with barely a scar.

    Wooly Lambs Ear is a great way to get young children interested in the garden, because they love to rub its leaves. Just make sure you either have a lot of plants or you limit their rubbing,. I've seen plants seriously damaged, asked the person what was wrong with their plant because it had 'bare spots' on the leaves...yup, too much rubbing by little hands.

    Well, whaddayanno? I am growing this plant purely because l like the softness of the leaves, and l fell in love with it when l dicovered it in a garden of a house we rented when l was 12. I have to grow it in a hanging basket, under an evergreen tree canopy, so that the frost doesn't kill it in the winter: it will die back, but not actually die. On the other side of the tree, hang my herb baskets, with oregano and thyme. And l had no idea of lambs ears medicinal properties! Aaah, but God did! That's why it hangs near the other herbs...So, now that it's Autumn here, l had better harvest and dry some leaves, before it goes to sleep. Thankyou, Heidi! I learn something useful every time you share. Love, hugs and prayers. May God bless you and yours, and the work of your hands! ❤🫂✝️

    With so many plants that grow in different regions but are similar not only in appearance but health properties, that's only more proof to me that we have a Heavenly Father. He knew that one day, humans would be so scattered around the world but would still need the same kind of medicines. Even more so that most plants serve as remedies to health problems that did not exist when Adam and Eve left Eden. There's no other explanation for how those plants knew to help with things like diabetes and cancers and high blood pressure or addition to drugs we only have in today's world other than an All-Knowing God, who has already authored all our lives, made them for us.

    I love your advice. I have many ears of experience "listening to my body", in regards anything. It will tell me Yes, simply by yawning. This is a Common Response, when using Energy Corrections, Muscle Testing and Correcting Emotiona Trigger Statatements. It also works for a nearby person, where they do it and you Confirm when it is completed, by a yawn!
    An answer of No, gets no yawn...
    Anyway, i simply hold an item and Ask myself, "Is this going to Help me?" And then wait for response. I can take it farther, say i got a Yes, by asking "Will this Help my leg?". It is totally possible to Ask IF the herb/plant/tincture/tea/food should be Okay TO have twice a day? More? Once? Go until it stops giving a Yes.
    Very simple practise! And since no Muscle Testing is necessary? You can use it in a Store, in a car, anywhere, no embarrassment! No one can tell what you are doing! Lol
    I can use this TO Detect IF a soap will be bad for me. For checking a Used Item, for Evil ties from previous owner, all types of things!
    I do not use it that often, but it IS handy for new herbs! As i am picking them? I will know by holding....
