HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 мар 2021
- I'm doing a short series on some of our most amazing medicinal plants that are also considered "invasive" species in parts of the USA.
Dyer's Woad or Isatis tinctoria is a mustard-family herb that has some incredible medicinal properties, and is very underused by western herbalism.
Join me as I talk a little about the plant and how to best make medicine from it.
Check out a few of our upcoming and ongoing classes below, from phytochemistry to botany and family-herbalism to wilderness first aid, preserving wild edibles, introduction to clinical and integrative herbalism and much more!

Another amazing property of this plant it is in the brassica family and is high in Glucobrassicin. Several universities are studying the cancer preventative properties of Glucobrassicin; especially those of a estrogen based type.
hello I've been growing woad and using it to dye my wool blue and am so excited to find out woad is medicinal too and can be used in salads!!! thankyou so much.!
I grew up calling Dyer's woad "wild mustard" which wasnt correct but Oh well. I would just use the flowers as a salad garnish or on a sandwich for extera flavor.
This year I realized the young leaves were great in salad in the early spring before the other greens had grown in. Never knew it was a medicin though! To think a life time of using it and I had no idea!
Thank you!
Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks Sam.. looking forward to more on-site classes
Great video
Thank you !!
Can you go into more detail on "toxic heat"?
Won't was used by the Celtic people to go into battle as I believe part of the reason was for its wound healing ability, do you know if this is correct? (I believe that the blue color that Mel Gibson used in Brave Heart represented Woad)
I did not know that. But yes, superlative wound healer, used carefully, as it supports the inflammatory process so well.
@@TheHumanPath I have done a bit of checking a few different sources for information but they contradict each other one states it's caustic and would leave vivid scars and one says that it's antiseptic and heals wound, all the way to psychoactive property to evoke animals spirits, but some of the references appear to be from historians!
👍👍
I am looking to buy dry leaves please just the dry leaves were can I find it ?
I am intrigued with your title: invasive woad. I've tried for 20 years to transplant or seed the stuff and get nothing. The few plants I can find, dig and move, simply die. I can grow hundreds of other varieties of plants, so my garden and meadow bloom with panorama of shifting colors from snow to snow. I'd like a little bit of "invasive".... AKA survival. I moved a one foot plot of Lythrum to my garden those same 20 years ago. As another state-declared invasive plant, it hasn't inched out of that one square foot of ground. Do wild rabbits, squirrels, or mice eat them to the ground?
On the other hand I have this weed that I was pulling a lot this year and was curious about it it turned out to be woad..... Great video
Does this clear infection or bacteria in the gut such as sibo ? Please help 🙏
Is this a pregnancy-safe medicine. Also, how much dyer's woad do you put into the 1 quart of acidic water for the decoction?
Can't it work as a tea?
you deserve every dollar you put back into "thehumanpath"
i'm just starting with your school.
this is a superb coarse.
but im still not changing youtube handle, i am the king of asswipes.
