I love plants I’m only 14 and I decided to make medicine with herbs 🌿 and I still study and do my research as well I decided doing this because my grandma does these things as well so yeah I just Love ❤️ doing things like this NICE VIDEO keep up the good work god bless you ✝️ as well you are one of my biggest role models too take care
How kind of you to say Brian, thank you so much! Very cool you are getting into herbs now!
Good for you! I hope you are still at it since this was 3 years ago. I’m new here. I also gained my love for herbs from my grandmother. Through God we have been provided everything we need on earth.
I hope watching this 4 years later you are still interested! What we need are young people to go into the sciences and prove that these things work, and how they work to help the most people! Although Whatever God calls you too, that is what a person should do!
I don't know you but I am proud of you for being 14 and having cool hobbies like that where you can learn. No matter what happens in your life always keep your hobbies and always keep learning. All the best to you and your future, I think it's going to be a bright one.
Girl, I DO have a framed piece of paper on Naturopathy (including Herbs, Nutrition, etc.) and I still learn a lot from you!
Could you take a picture of that and send it to me?
Please send it to me?

Keep going, Girlie! There are a number of great herbalists in this country and in Canada who offer programs of study that will help you gain your goals.
Thank you for the video and the formula. My wife has fibromyalgia and for her migraines she has been using feverfew for years. It works. The bitterness is through the roof. Not quite as bitter as elecampane. To offset the bitterness we add lemon and honey. It gives a pleasantly bitter flavor. Not. We have found that boneset and prickly ash are good for general body pain. You can take it internally and/or apply to the skin where the pain resides. Most of the time you will get quick results at pain relief. I used to have a pound of echanacea root and the root was just kind of chopped up at bit. Not a powder. I used to enjoy chewing on the root. I notice a pleasant numbing whenever I chewed it. I'm glad to see you added it to this tincture. Thanks a ton for your time and sharing this knowledge with us.
Mint leaves, lemon balm and tumeric are also great for pain. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Add black pepper to this so the the turmeric will get absorbed in your system
⬆️Sensei Juan, in a tincture???
@@monicapark5594 yes or oils
Thank you Sensei👍🏼😊
What kind of mint? Peppermint?
I am going to make my first tincture and have watched a few videos from from different people. I always come back to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate your time and effort.
You are quickly becoming my personal guru. Been binge watching your videos for days now. So much incredible info. Thank you so much!
I remember watching this 5 years ago and now I’m just starting to grow these plants. Love going back to these videos for refreshers.
I have long since come out with a better recipe and even typed it up for people: ruclips.net/video/gm_UN7sTfqg/видео.html
So glad I happened upon your channel!
I can't even express how awesome your videos are. Thank you for sharing what you have learned and your experiences 💜
Thank you so much for your generosity and great knowledge.
I just found this hopefully I have the stuff to make it! Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to get my own herbs planted next spring!!
Thanks Heidi.. You know they weren't called bitters for nothing. Medicine isn't supposed to taste good...but it sure makes it easier to go down.
Linden flowers, Boswellia, and Bromelain are great natural pain relievers, tho I know you don't grow those...And St Johns Wort flowers infused in oil, are great for external pain. We have many options. It is fantastic that you grow your own. This is a fun video.. :)
Mary poppins was right a spoon full of sugar mskes yhe medicine go down but that’s long before we learned how bad sugar is for us do I totally understand adding a clove or cinnamon yo my jars as my grand mother did back in her day makes sense to me know

This is my new favorite RUclips channel. Thank you for teaching us!!!!!!
Thank you dearly
Great video! Hubs has had a constant battle with a tooth/ear/sinus infection. We've barely held it at bay with grapefruit seed oil (put in capsules because that stuff is sooo bitter). I can't wait for him to try this.
You cook a lot like me. When I was teaching my boys and my niece to cook I told them, "Recipes are more like guidelines...I rarely follow them." 😄
Here is the more recent video I did on natural antibiotics: ruclips.net/video/BMIuJb06PcU/видео.html
and the more recent one I did on natural pain relief: ruclips.net/video/V5JOC-b74gs/видео.html
Thank you so much for this. I have a lot of auto immune diseases and get so tired of taking medication.
Great information thank you
For me it is more complicated because I have to translate to Portuguese and I discovered that, here, the same plant can have several names but the scientific classification is the same.
I was very grateful to know if inside your jars you mix leaves and flowers or if it is only leaves or only flowers.
feverfew- leaves, flowers or both
catnip- leaves, flowers or both
echinacea - leaves, flowers or both
marshmallow -leaves, flowers or both
and, I also wanted to ask you if with the dehydrated yarrow if you mix in the jar leaves and flowers.
I do not have a garden but we still have some stores specialized in dehydrated medicinal plants and then... I can do the mix :) (40 years ago there were many stores, now they are much less because, unfortunately, people prefer pharmacies with chemicals). Anyway, I appreciate your kindness to share with us your own experience with the herbs.
I love plants and although I live in a city, on a 3rd floor without a balcony, but since I have a big window, I have plenty of pots (10 large ones) ... with oregano, a small laurel tree, a mini-lemon tree , and I even managed to have cherry tomatoes and mini peppers, (parsley/carrots/asparagus and leeks, these 4 love the window), 1 cabbage, lettuce, basil, and this year I am experimenting a raspberry and a mulberry (at least the trunks did not die and already have leaves).
I'm lucky because the window (not 1 window but 4 in a row) catches sunshine in the morning until the end of the day (it can be open or closed if it is too cold) but strangely, I already tried several times, mint do not like this interior garden, and for 7 years I've been trying to see which ones like and which ones do not like... my "window garden" ;)
Plants need sun, water, food, love... and God do the rest. The quantity does not interest me, just looking at the plants and being able to touch the earth is the best medicine to give me inner peace. As the sun in winter is lower, it is when my plants are better and in winter it is when I like more to see something green growing :)
Thanks so much, I purchased the seeds from you, and now have them planted! Can't wait to make this, Hugs,
O good! I do hope they work well for you and please let me know how they do. I have had others saying they are doing good for them and that was wonderful to know. :)
Thank you, for your videos! You have been an immense help to me.😁
Enjoyed your video. That is one thing that I really need. You are a great teacher . I hope you and your hubby have a wonderful day.🍀
Thank you Susan!
Another awesome video. Thank u Heidi!
Great Info ! Thank you for the knowledge share. I really enjoyed learning with you. Blessings y'all
Thank you!
Heidi, I truly enjoy your videos. I wish I knew even a 10th of what you know. Have you ever thought about making a book on the recipes for these medicines? I'm sure it would be sold out in a day. Prayers lifted up for you and Mr. Rain.
Hello Tamara and thank you. I am considering putting a general book together once time allows that will have all kinds of different types of recipes and how tos :)
Thanks Heidi. Enjoyable and informative as always. 😃
Thank you Rhonda!
Thank you so much for your awesome videos!! You do a great job Woman😆😁💫
This is great thank you
Loved this video. Very informative. I'm going to look back at your other tincture recipes. They sound perfect for our home remedy medicine cabinet!
Great video thank you for the information for kids. My daughter is 9 and her and I both get migraines so I’m looking to start making something to hopefully use in place of Tylenol when we get them.
Do you have an update for us? Has the tincture been effective?
Thank you. ❤
You’re a God-send.❤
just found your channel! i’m so excited to get into all of this, i actually went to an herb class a few days ago and learned so much! i’m looking for a more natural way to help with my period cramps and bad pms as well as the 3 day migraine that comes along with it. i feel that taking major doses of ibuprofen and tylenol just to get a little relief isn’t the right thing lol
Thank you .
Good to know I need to go back and look at the books your recommend. I prefer books and don’t have any . I prefer you too your the best
Excited to try, thank you!
making some, thanks heidi!! super helpful! I need to grow these...i had catnip but i think all the neighborhood kitties rolled around in it and killed it, lol! love feverfew because it looks like daisies, which are my fav flower!!! it will be fun to have it next year...hopefully my echinacea will come back next year, they sure were pretty =) Im going to grow only things that are multi useful from now on....gonna go find more vids on tinctures and extracts now =)
Tried to grow echinacea...crittters mowed it off every time! It never stood a chance!
Excellent,Heidi, thank you. I have planned to have all these herbs in my herb garden this year.
I was wondering, do you think adding stevia leaf would help for the children’s infusion?
That is a really good idea! One thing I learned recently (and talk a bit about in an upcoming video) that making an extract with 3 parts glycerin (food grade and non-gm and 1 part water, it has a shelf life of up to 4 months. Not real long but longer than I would have thought. I would guess keeping in the fridge would mean it would keep even longer. So with that said, making tinctures from this would be great for children and the glycerin has a natural sweetness to it that does not raise the glycemic level.
I love love love videos. Thanks. i also love rosemary's videos and book. God is Good. Bless you
Thank you! :D
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome
ALWAYS A GREAT VIDEO AND VERY MUCH LEARNED FROM YOU TY HEIDI . HUGS FROM MICHIGAN
Thank you Kathy Jo!
My grandma had a patch of feverfew...wish I would have started some of it! My grandfather swore my catnip
I love your videos, they are changing my life. I was wondering if you could do this in capsules instead of a tincture? Thank you for your knowledge, ive already made ypur vick vaporub recipe and the muscle rub, both are amazing!!
Here is my vide on pain relief capsules: ruclips.net/video/PzZkayfyyAg/видео.html
How much should take after it has infused? I love your videos and the information you give.
It will depend on if you use alcohol or if you use vinegar and/or glycerin as your solvent. With an alcohol base, a tsp may be sufficient but with vinegar or glycerin you may need much more - up to a shot
thanks for sharing the harvest! I grew them lemon cukes last year, wasn't impressed. Not growing them again...like you said one thing to have and another to use!
Wonderful video and simple explanation understandable really.
Thank you.
Shall I know the best method for making Ginseng extract for daily use with dry red Ginseng root? Waiting for your nice comments
Hello, thanks for all your great videos. Can you use fresh herbs? Thanks.
Yes, though I prefer to use dried as it lowers the water content and you can also pack more in. Also, when the herbs are coming in fresh, I simply eat them straight off the plant when I need them. Please check out my best and most recent pain recipe that also includes a link to written instructions here: ruclips.net/video/gm_UN7sTfqg/видео.html
Do you have any recipes for what herbs work for different ailments? Like maybe a list? I'd like to get some of these started now. Thank you. Very helpful!
I have several lists, such as top ten and so on. This list changes a bit each year. Here is the most recent one I did: ruclips.net/video/xMKs4mbwuTo/видео.html
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you!
Great information as always. Thank you for sharing. :-)
Thank you Donna!
Just doing your videos. And I'm so happy I did!
Can you use marshmallow root instead of the leaves?
Yes but I do not use it at all in my pain remedy now. Here is my newest and so far best recipe: ruclips.net/video/gm_UN7sTfqg/видео.html
How much h of this am I supposed to take and how ofter?? Love the video. I want to start making natural products and your video is so informational.
The amount depends on you and what you choose to use as a solvent. The stronger the alcohol, the less you need,. So with a higher proof alcohol, maybe just a teaspoon, if you use honey or glycerin and water for a solvent, you may need a whole ounce or two
Some of the herbal values are only extracted with water so it’s good to use vodka and water in your tinctures.
Okay I will thank you so much for sharing. Please where do I find reverses and catnip . Please.
If you are wanting to grow it, I sell feverfew seeds on my store but catnip is best purchased as a live plant at your local nursery. For already dried herbs, I did link to those in the description box above. I will go ahead and paste those links here too but I ha:
*Feverfew: amzn.to/2htBHNU
*Catnip: amzn.to/2i8Gdym
I am watching this video from bed with a bad back. I wish I had some of this now! Thank you for sharing. I need to add to my herb garden and stop letting the cats eat all the catnip :)
I feel for you and wish you only the best.
I've been in bed for 2 years. Hit by an 18 wheeler fractured spine and no doctors who will Rx the only thing that helped, long acting opioid meds.
I hope people understand this is state sponsored eugenics.
@J.Adams seems I'm reading your comment from 3yrs ago. I hope that you have found total relief from your pain and living a better quality of life now. I wouldnt mind knowing if any herbal meds helped. Mom has chronic pain but hates relying on Rx opiates✨️ ❤️
Thank you for your videos, i wonder is it better to use fresh herbs from the garden, as i see you use dry?
It depends on the time of year. In the spring and summer when these herbs are growing fresh, I use them straight from the plant but the dried ones get used for making extracts to get me through the year
@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you so much, i have herbs now in the garden so i can use them now!
You are amazing you’ve opened up my eyes wide on making my medical pantry up to date and useful keep up this list art please I’m even teaching my doctor to stop percirbing pills I won’t take too many dude effects I just came home from surgery yesterday and implemented some of my own pantry which works plus I have double checked first thst this way of life is not interfering with pharma pills done herbs could cause a side effect you don’t want
Hello Heidi and Patrick. I am considering making my tincture with tequila because it’s aloe base so I consider additional. Benefits. What do you think?
thanks 👍 BLESSINGS
I am going to try it this looks good : 0
Actually, I recommend my newest one, it has the best flavor and works great: ruclips.net/video/gm_UN7sTfqg/видео.html
Is it possible to use MCT oil for this extract? Great video. Thank you!
This is for something you take internally so while you could, it may not be what you are looking for. I infuse oils when I am using topically. So for a joint and muscle rub, this is the type of infusion I make: ruclips.net/video/oDZCAXxH4U8/видео.html
Hello great information. With the tincture how much do you take internally or do you use it to make a salve or rub? Also with the children s how long would you let it sit before it would be time to use it. (for example would it sit for two weeks or a month before it would be ready for children.) I love this especially for the kids because they have to much alcohol in the over the counter medicine. Thank you for sharing, God bless, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
The tincture is meant to be taken internally and the amount taken will vary for children but not the length of time you allow it to sit. If you make it with vodka or other high proof alcohol, they may only need as little as a drop or two. I have a video this morning about the differences between extracts and tinctures but an extract with glycerin and water may be preferable for giving to children. Or even glycerin and wine based. In which case a bit more will be needed. I recommend you watch that video I mentioned to get more information.
@@RainCountryHomestead awesome thank you for the information and I will be watching the other video. ❤🍄👍
I love that you began the video with GOD IS GOOD...ALL THE TIME..I just watched a video and I was so disappointed that when I research tinctures...most of the videos are about CBD OR THC. I just want Godly, wholesome content so I love listening to you and I'll definitely stick around!!!
Yes, there is so much push for cannabis related things. While I believe in its medicinal properties, there are so many other herbs people can focus on that have just as many healing properties
Heidi, where do you get the seeds for you herbs? I am finding it difficult to find many of them. Thanks
I got most of my seeds from Baker Creek, however, I also have many of these available on my Etsy store. These are more acclimated to my cooler and very wet climate: www.etsy.com/shop/RainCountryHomestead
Hi. Thank you so much for sharing this. I made a vinegar extract last year and used my own vinegar. It is my first attempt adn guess what...I'm to scared to try it! Is that crazy or what?!?
I guarantee it won't taste good but it will likely work. It certainly won't hurt
Can I just use the echinacea and feverfew for my tincture? I never dehydrated any of my catnip. Thanks.
You sure can!
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME ❤ YESSSSSS
Tinctures are easy to make into syrups. Sometimes the syrups are easier to take... like with my plantain syrup for my asthma. If I use fresh herb, then I just make the syrup from a very strong decoction (1lb brown sugar added to ~1 cup of plantain decoction), but if I'm making it from a tincture, then adding a quarter again as much sugar makes it good... but it may take a few days to fully incorporate the sugar.
Yep, I have made a tincture into a syrup before but it is not something I commonly do.
I'm gonna get those herbs and make some..asap. Do you know where I could get the herbs? Do they need to be fresh or can I use dried? Clove would be a good flavor, you think?
I did post links in the description box where you can purchase some of the herbs on Amazon and there is also Mountain Rose Herb - they carry all of them I believe.
Hi Heidi great video. What is the dosage for adults?
It will vary per person, One person may only need a Tablespoon, one person may need a whole shot. Here is my most recent and best pain remedy recipe and I believe I also talk about dosage in it: ruclips.net/video/gm_UN7sTfqg/видео.html
Me again! I got all the ingredients that I could buy and got two tinctures 'brewing' ... one for Sleep (valerian & licorice) and this one for Pain. My question is, and correct me if I'm wrong, that you said you take some in a shot glass? (Maybe it was the Sleep Aid video). I tried a shot glass and it burned my throat big time. Do you take a full shot glass (which is basically a shot of vodka straight!) and do you add anything to it like juice or something? Thanks. I am looking forward to trying these!!
That is what I said but I did not clarify, I use a shot glass for taking it but I do not take a full shot if taking a vodka based tincture, I only take about a quarter of a shot, which is a Tablespoon, you may even want to use a tsp. If I am taking a vinegar based extract, then I take a full shot.
Thanks Heidi! Questions.....does catmint have the same properties as catnip? And could catmint be used as a substitute for catnip with the same results?
Catmint is the general name for various plants in that family, catnip being one of them. I cannot say for sure if all varieties work the same but would guess they should be fairly similar
Rain Country Thanks for the speedy reply! Was kinda thinking the same. I have tons of catmint and have steered away from catnip because the feral cats were always rolling in the nip, but not the mint.
I am surprised I do not have more issues with cats here, of course I notice the one that does best is the one that is enclosed in the back garden - cats could be the reason why the ones right out front do not seem to do so well - haha
I ran out of vodka which was 80 proof 40 pre cent alcohol an I have 40 percent rum can I mix rum and vodka together like vodka
And glycerine. Georgia
Yes you can and I actually prefer rum for extracts because it has a better flavor, especially spiced rum :)
Heidi,
Please do a video (or link me) of where you can get these herbs for purchase. I don't know what they look like wild or even how to get them. I can grow them but not sure where to look for the seeds! I am looking for something called wild lettuce right now, does it go by another name? I would be willing to pay for any shipping if you would send me cuttings or seeds or what ever you think would work! I am nearly desperate to start growing these and making the tinctures and infusions. Let me know how to contact you if you care to help me with this. Thanks for all your teaching and help! Chuck "The Greenhorn Farmer".
I am not currently selling my own dried herbs but I did link in the description box to all the herbs used that you can buy on Amazon. Though I am planning on selling some of my seed this year, my supply is limited and I have a waiting list for them right now. Best thing to do there is send me an email to raincountryhomestead@gmail.com letting me know you are interested in purchasing seed, from there I can add you to my list. Hoping to get to making the seed packets this next month. Things have been very busy so having a hard time finding the time right now
I normally can find any herbs I may need at either Pennherb.com or Mountainroseherbs.com
Do you ever use Lactuca serriola AKA Wild Prickly Lettuce or Milk Thistle? Its also said to be a wonderful wild herb for serious pain relief
I have personally not used those but the list of herbs for pain relief is long. I covered quite a few of them in this video here where I also talk about my most recent pain relief extract (and favorite so far): ruclips.net/video/V5JOC-b74gs/видео.html
What about putting a poultice with these herbs. It should help with nerve pain?
Now that is an interesting idea, I wonder how they would work topically for pain.
Where do you find the green and the purple mason jars? They are so pretty♥️
I got them from our local store several years back but they do not have them anymore
you look very healthy, oh! and your pretty too☺
I don't strain my tinctures until they get so low that I can't get the liquid out without getting a lot of leaves. I figure it makes it stronger, leaving the plants in there as long as possible. I mostly use tinctures. I might start with teas to test a mix, and if it's good, I make it into a tincture. Tinctures work well topically too, except of course they're runny and you have to rub it on fast or it'll run off. Sometimes I'll also make a salve. Sometimes I make one herb tinctures so that I can take it as a single herb, or combine with some other tinctures of herbs that I use a lot, and not have to wait for it.
Mine often sit for several months before I get to them so they are certainly as extracted as they can be. There is only so much that can be extracted no matter how long it is left but I agree that leaving it as long as possible is good just to make sure one is getting all they can :)
I wonder if this blend would work as a tea? I know you said the feverfew is very bitter but maybe adding honey would help?
Lisa Booker came up with a tea recipe using the feverfew honey and some other herbs that she said turned out pretty good. I cannot remember where she commented with that or what all she used. It may even be somewhere in the comments under this video but I cannot see them from my community settings (where I do most of my interacting)
Very nice😍🤗. I wouldn't worry to much about the organic alcohol. I saw on a tv show somewhere' a SPECIAL know all about alcohol guy said' there's no such thing as organic alcohol that is just a hype the organic word is overrated when it comes to alcohol.
Will I need to keep this in a dark place as it sits for 2 months? If I do, can I just cover it with a dark cloth on the counter? My cupboard space is very limited. Thank you! Heidi Mitzelfeldt 😊
That should work fine :)
what are the best seals for jars ie Ball Jars? and where do you get them?
I am assuming you mean canning lids? Tattler lids are my favorite and here are my affiliate links:

Hi! Im not too keen on buying ingredients, if i can avoid it, would a good kids alternative to glycerine be a honey infusion using dried herbs? It should be safe if they are dried, but would the herbs infuse? and also certain herbs like hops and meadowsweet were brewed into wine sort of medicinally, do you think feverfew would lose some of the intensity of its flavor if it were brewed as a wine/mead and not just added afterwards? Im keen to make mead next honey harvest with some meadowsweet as its a traditional addition, but i might try a small bottle with feverfew as well.
Yep, I have actually stopped using glycerin and have switched to honey, and yes, I now think one can make the honey based extract with either all honey or 3 parts honey to 1 part water:

Oh wow! Great minds think alike. Lol cheers for the link
My daughter suffers from post concussion migraines. Part of which means she has a mild headache at all times and much more severe ones if she is stressed, dehydrated, or very active. Do you think the tincture you just showed would be strong enough to help on her bad days? Thank you
It may be, another option is the capsules, they can be easier for some to take because the tincture/extract is very bitter:
ruclips.net/video/PzZkayfyyAg/видео.html
Do you strain it off and just use the liquid, or do you keep the herbs in place while using it?
I strain it off.
I want to do a wild lettuce tincture do you have to dry your leaves first
It is best to use dried herbs when making a tincture to avoid water in the tincture and to achieve a more potent result
If I cover my nose and drink will the bitter go away
?
Hey Heidi :-D
I am looking forward to making this tincture! I would love to get mom off the narcotic pain pills!!! I give them to her very sparingly, but, still I worry about them slowing down her respirations.
I have a question about the cough, cold & flu remedy. I didn't have, (and couldn't find) marshmallow leaves & flowers. However, I did find the marshmallow ROOT powder. Is it OK to use the root powder in lieu of the leaves and flowers? Is the effect the same? Thank you, dear :-D
Love & prayers
Yes, you can use the root and it should be just as effective if not more. In most, if not all cases, when the root is medicinal too, it is usually higher in medicinal properties than the leaves and flowers. I did put a link in the description box to some marshmallow leaves I found on Amazon, but they were the only brand I could find. I would have preferred to link to brands I am more familiar with like Starwest, Frontier, or Terrasoul.
As much as I have studies books, internet & watched videos, you're the first one to tell me the root is just as medicinal, if not more. Amazing! Are there exceptions to the rule? Is there ever a case where the root is NOT medicinal, but, the leaves are? (or vise versa?) I did check out your link. It said 100% "natural" but, did not say "organic", so I understand your statement regarding Starwest, Frontier & Terrasoul. This is why I think about my garden ALL YEAR LONG. I have a limited amount of space & have to pick and choose what I am going to grow. Tomatoes will ALWAYS be my #1 choice, but now I am thinking more in terms of growing more medicinal herbs along with culinary. If I had my "druthers", I'd druther grow EVERYthing I eat. Maybe SOMEday. :-D Thanks again for the reliable info! You are an amazing plethora of valuable information!
Lots of love & prayers
Do herbs lose some of their medicinal properties after it’s been dried? I’m hearing both ways… raw-fresh & dried. Do you dry your herbs then ‘jar’ then to store them for ‘off season’ tinctures? Thanks.. am enjoying your talks thru your posts.
They will lose some of their nutrients but not much if dried at a low heat, I never go above 115° when drying herbs and usually dry at 110°
Pls let me know, wjen you use a tincyure, how long does it take to do its work. If i drink it 3 times a day, will i notice dufference in that same day, or does tinctures work over weeks?
Hello Heidi. Can I mix Feverfew, Valerian, Catnip, passionfruit leaves and scull cap together in a tincture? For pain and sleep remedy?
As long as you do not have any bad reactions to any of those individually, yes
How do you take it and what are the doses for adults and kids?
Here is my updated video that has more information in it, hope this helps: ruclips.net/video/sfUGjDg5zMM/видео.html
Now after the 2 months did you strain mixture into a dark bottle and store it in a cool place. Please. This would help me with my pain in joints. I've had a lot if broken bones from car wreck. In 2008.
Yes, but I also recommend you check out this newer video on different natural pain remedies: ruclips.net/video/V5JOC-b74gs/видео.html
hi there i just came across your channel & subscribed question does hydrogen peroxide help release plant alkaloids ? im a stage 4 bone cancer guy & ran across some poppy heads so i ground up 2 oz. & put it in vodka, i have pain pills but i get tired of leaning on them. usually make tea just thought i would try a concentrate maybe even evap the alcohol off & use the gum.....what do you think ? i know you cant say much, this is kinda fringe.......phil.
Using peroxide for something like this is something I have not only not heard of but have not looked into nor have experience with so I cannot share thoughts on that one
Hello Heidi. I’m just getting started to herbal medicine, etc. and I don’t have a lot of products yet. Would this still be helpful if I used dry plants? Any suggestions for where I can get good quality dried marshmallow, catnip, echinacea and feverfew? Thank you?
I only use the herbs fresh while they are growing and then I eat them straight off the plant rather than making an extract. The extract is made with dried herbs so yet, you can buy any of these herbs dried online and I explain where i get herbs I do not already grow here: ruclips.net/video/KqmUYFI0cdc/видео.html
Hello from Australia. What do you do once the mixture has been sitting for a couple months when you want to use it? Do you just take a spoonful by mouth, herbs and all or do you strain it first or put it through a blender?
Strain and take a Tablespoon or more. Here is a more updated video with my newest recipe and more information: ruclips.net/video/gm_UN7sTfqg/видео.html
Hi there may I ask what would you recommend I make for Bakers Cyst resolution
I have a friend that had a surgery planned but her doc is SICK 😷 so I want to see if I can help
Since I am not a doctor nor have a license in medicine of any kind, nor do I know about that one in particular, the best thing I can do for you is link you to a video I did on how to look things up for yourself. I would do it now but I simply do not have the time at the moment: ruclips.net/video/FEAyCy3oHF0/видео.html
Also keep in mind that herbs are not always the best answer so change the search criteria as needed, for example: "Best natural remedies for..." to give you more broad results
How do you take the Tincture? Do you just take a spoonful of the liquid or both liquid and herbs? This is all new and confusing to me.
Thank you for asking, I often mean to cover these things in my videos but since I do not use a script, I tend to leave out things - o well, at least it means I have another video I can do to expound on such things. After about two months, you strain out the herbs. There will be little to no nutrition or benefits left in the herbs themselves as these have all infused into the liquid. Then bottle or jar up the liquid (you can see how I do this in my cough cold and flu remedy video). I recommend starting with anywhere from a teaspoon to a Tablespoon of your tincture. You can always take more if you do not notice a difference within a half hour. If making an extract with vinegar or glycerin, you will want to take 1-2 ounces at a time.
You should check out Dr. tenant I think it’s with two eon’s
On RUclips he talks about other reasons and causes which create pain in the back
