This question has come up a lot! They do look alike but they are different plants both in the mint family. Dead nettle tends to bloom in early Spring while self heal blooms from early to late summer.
All these years weeding and ripping this plant out of the yard and garden, to no avail, now I come across your video. I will be protecting and harvesting now. Thank you......
Wonderful to see young people keeping the natural, ancient healing wisdom alive. We must use all our power to save our Mother Earth. Glad I found your channel!
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist, with 2 Masters Degrees in Oriental Medicine, and Prunella Vulgaris is one of my favorite Chinese Herbs. Your video is very informative, and I appreciate all the new information about it that I wasn’t aware of. I’m actually growing it this year from seed which I sowed last autumn, and it overwintered well, despite several weeks of snow, covered with a plastic bag. I will save seeds from a few flowers to sow in a partial shade and sun bed on the east side of my house, which is in a pine, fir, and oak forest. I’m so happy to grow this lovely herb and flower!
What an awesome video. I just got a couple of sprigs of self-heal from a friend and planted in my garden. She said, "You really need to grow this plant, it heals everything!". I had no idea what she meant, but I trust her so I planted it. Now I know so much about it! Thank you for all the research that went into this video. I am a believer!
Yes!!! This is something I am very interested in and have considered making a video on Druidic plant lore for some of my favorite herbs in the future. I just need to find a better source for information on the subject. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find lots of this lovely plant 😊
I started my HSV2 herbal treatment last month from #DROKOH and I went for couples of herpes virus test and so amazing my results came out negative. Dr Okoh herbal medicine cured me of my herpes virus.
I found this growing in my yard three or four years ago, not knowing what it was but hoping it was a herb that was useful. I've meticulously mowed around it and now proudly boast two rather large areas of it. I need to start harvesting and using it. Love your video!
I love this. I feel the same way when I see a new plant. Sometimes they just seem like they are helpful for something and then when you find out they are it’s always so exciting. Enjoy your Self Heal 🥰

@@SmallSeeds What the biggest frustration factor for me is when I research an herb and it's benefits, I will find medical sites that will tell you what is said about various benefits of the herb but always conclude that the claim is inconclusive because no studies have been done to support it. Cynical me says, sure you don't do a study because you don't want to find out it is true.
The flowers of Prunella vulgaris in Australia (at least the ones I’ve seen) are a darker purple and uniform in colour. Until now though, I never knew what they were called or that they could be used in so many ways! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I can’t wait to start growing some myself.

Thanks. I think I may have a ton of this growing in my backyard. Or possibly Purple Dead Nettle. They look so similar, I’m having a hard time telling the difference.
I stumbled across your channel and felt that this video was meant for me. It’s wonderful to know of a younger person who has a knowledge of all things natural. Not too common today! I will subscribe because I love what you do, and love your videos.
Your style is delightful ❤ Thanks for the informative, yet humorous post, the beautiful scenery and settings and even showing your mistakes (NEVER thought to use a plunger for tea 😮😂) Blessings for continued Joy in the Journey 🙏
I never thought to use a plunger for tea either. I was given one as a gift but I don’t really like plunger coffee. Now I’ll be using it for herbal teas (not for black tea as ‘squeezing’ black tea releases the tannins which give the tea a bitter flavour)
Thank you so much. I see this plant all over the place. Especially when I'm harvesting other herbs. I'm now going to start studying Selfheal and using it. God Bless you.
I have Self-heal growing on my property. Every time I find it, I mark it, so as not to mow it down. Love this multi-purpose plant. Thanks for highlighting its many benefits. This is a wonderful video!!

WOW! I’ve not heard of the qualities of this little plant although I’m sure I’ve seen it in my walkabouts around the homestead. I’ll take a closer look next time for sure. I make calendula, marigold and plantain salves which do a much better job with psoriasis than any prescription I’ve ever been given so would be really interested to try this wee plant. Thank you for this info dear.
It starts blooming once the summer weather rolls in so that will be a great time to keep an eye out. Homemade salves are a staple for us around here for skincare and wound healing as well. Gotta love a good herbal salve 🥰 Self heal definitely makes a great addition to them. I hope you find some this summer!

Thank you for the video, you provided a lot of information but in a way that was easy to listen to. I stumbled across this plant hiking in Washington , and not knowing what it was took some pictures . Now I’ll be on the look out for it in the future. Keep up the good work!
So thorough. I appreciate the thoughtfulness around the varieties of this plant and how the studies may relate. This is one of the most helpful identification videos I've seen.
I think I just ripped some of this out of one of my raised beds the other day. Before I did I wondered what they were and if they were beneficial. I'll have to look around our farm and find some more!
Thank you for this wonderful video on Self Heal! I just now found your channel so I subscribed and will find all the previous videos too. You are profoundly smart and thank you for benefitting all of us!

I have a very tiny yard, and not sure where to go foraging. Thank you so much! I just subscribed to your channel.
I took notice of this little plant in the pasture today and it led me to your delightful video. I am trying it now as a fresh herbal tea. Thank you so much!
Wonderful.. this beautiful plant has self-seeded in my garden so I am harvesting if often as a LandCare action, it not being native to this area or country.. I love it, and am so excited to find such a gentle healing plant so readily avaiable and simply beautiful, too. . Thank you for this video.
I just walked thru a fen down the street and it was everywhere! I plan to go back to harvest it and a few other medicinals when i have a basket tomorrow, Nice video. Just what I needed!
I subscribed now to hunt down this plant and put some in a jar and have it ready as needed. How wonderful for you to do this video and sharing your knowledge of people and healing way.
I just discovered this amazing plant growing in my backyard and used an app to identify it as self-heal! I'm in Northern california, but definitely intrigued by its benefits and would be willing to harvest it and give it a try Would you be willing to share some of your recipes for the balms and mixtures you have used it with?
Wonderful! I would love to share! I have some instructional videos on making herb infused oils that can be applied with self heal as well as a video on how I made the salve. I will link them here in the comment. For the tincture I use a ratio of 1 gram of fresh self heal to 2 milliliters of everclear.(this can be doubled, tripled and so on..) I will gather the fresh plant and chop it well to increase the surface area. (a blender works well for this) I put the herbs in a clean jar and then add the everclear. I let this sit for about 2-3 weeks in a dark cool place, strain and then bottle & label.

Omg I think I’ve seen this in my own yard!!!so next spring any of it i see I’ll dig it up n trans plant it safely to my next year herb garden so neighbors wife doesn’t mow it down lol. Im so excited about getting through this fall and winter ugh lol great video!❤
Great vdieo! I am from Mississippi, but moved to Texas back in 2007. I have heard this plant, but haven't seen it yet. I don't know if it grows here. I'll have to do some research. Such a beautiful plant! 😊
I just found your channel. It's wonderfully informative. I haven't browsed your channel, but I hope you show the process of making tinctures and salves and the syrup for us beginners
I don't live in the woods (unfortunately😭) so I will order a plant from a rare herb supplier I recently discovered and when it arrives I'll plant it so carefully in the small garden I share with my apartment neighbours. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this amazing plant🌱
Such a great instructional video, thank you! Just a note: In AZ, we have what could be a potential poisonous look alike, although not perfect, would be Lantana, aka "Lantana camara", which is highly toxic to humans & animals. The Prunella vulgaris plant sounds wonderful to look into, thank you again! 🌻
Thank you so much for this treasure trove of information!! I planted Self Heal seeds last year that I sources from 'Strictly Medicial Seeds'. The plant grew but didn't bloom but I expected that as many perennials don't put on a good show until the following year and onward. This year it's flowered BEAUTIFULLY and I absolutely LOVE it! I love it so much that I divided it and planted little masses of it in several different spots around my yard, garden and flower beds. The bees seem love it as well. Since I finally have flowers this year I had been wondering if it was as straight forward as most herbs where you just harvest, dry and store or use fresh as needed. I always like to make sure I'm using herbs properly for safety. Thanks a million! ALSO, What style of tea mug set up is that? Does it have a name? And where did you get it from?? I'd live to find something like that. Would certainly save me thr trouble of needing different tools and things to make it. Just poor over a straining cup that nests nicely right over the top of the mug = YES PLEASE!
I wish I could give you a brand or store I bought it from but I actually found it at a thrift store. I am sure they have something like it online though. Perhaps search loose leaf tea straining mug? So happy to hear your self heal is blooming and bountiful this year 🥰
Thanks for a thorough investigation of this plant, which has only recently come to my attention. What is the north American distribution? We are in Florida.
It is found in Florida. There is a long list of states it’s found in actually. This site has the list: www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=prvu It’s growing cycle will vary according to climate so I can’t say for sure when it’s blooming in Florida but I hope you are able to find some 😊
thank you for posting... it is good to ponder depth of nature and the experience of life, herbalisim is a fine restful way to achieve this deeper look into the experience often called life the path goes ever on. so much to the experience. keep on and again thank you for posting
Love your video. ❤ what great information you have 👍 I am just getting into the weeds in my little plot. So happy to have stumbled upon you 💓 I hope you are still doing videos
That's crazy, it looks soooo similar to a common garden "weed" Henbit. But henbits Latin name is Lamium amplexicaule. But it is also part of the mint family (square stem of course), purple flowers, like they look so similar!
Thank you. Your explanations are both helpful and informative. Just found you with this one and subscribed. Now to binge watch on this restful day lol.
Earthday 2022 greetings Connecticut usa. thank you for flower,stem,leaf identifcation;botanical drawings,history,multiculural traditions of use. Your site brought back memory of lovely afternoon of tisane infusion from the Barrens in western Ireland.Jeannine
I actually recorded this one last year for the most part and put it out a bit early. I bet you will see it on your walks and probably even on your lawn come June! Right now the purple dead nettle is out and I have been seeing it where you let me harvest from last year ❤

Very informative video. I've loved Heal All for a long time but always purchased it from botanical pharmacies. Thank you for showing how easy it is to harvest. Would you do a video on how to make all your different concoctions? That would be very helpful. Thanks again!
I have a few videos on making some of the herbal preparations featured in this video but do plan on making more how to videos in the future! Thanks for stopping by 🌿☺️💚
Is this the same as dead nettle?

It is an amazing little plant! I hope your mom enjoys the tea!

@@SmallSeeds your welcome dear friend 😊
I started my HSV2 herbal treatment last month from #DROKOH and I went for couples of herpes virus test and so amazing my results came out negative. Dr Okoh herbal medicine cured me of my herpes virus.
I am so glad I found your channel. You are very knowledgeable plus your voice is soothing to listen to. Lol.
Omg I think I’ve seen this in my own yard!!!so next spring any of it i see I’ll dig it up n trans plant it safely to my next year herb garden so neighbors wife doesn’t mow it down lol. Im so excited about getting through this fall and winter ugh lol great video!❤
Gotta love the mirror clip... soooooo cute.
I had to make some funny faces for that one haha!
Great vdieo! I am from Mississippi, but moved to Texas back in 2007. I have heard this plant, but haven't seen it yet. I don't know if it grows here. I'll have to do some research. Such a beautiful plant! 😊
This is amazing...thank you for sharing these healing herbs...
Thank you so much for the awesome video! It's so nice to watch someone who is intelligent, thorough, and pleasantly cool.
Thank you so much!
I just found your channel. It's wonderfully informative. I haven't browsed your channel, but I hope you show the process of making tinctures and salves and the syrup for us beginners
What a comprehensive lovely vid. thanks for sharing luv n light x
I don't live in the woods (unfortunately😭) so I will order a plant from a rare herb supplier I recently discovered and when it arrives I'll plant it so carefully in the small garden I share with my apartment neighbours. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this amazing plant🌱
Glad to hear you will be growing it!! 🌿☺️💚
Refreshing calm, educational, intelligent information...thanks.
Thank you for this excellent educational video.
Such a great instructional video, thank you! Just a note: In AZ, we have what could be a potential poisonous look alike, although not perfect, would be Lantana, aka "Lantana camara", which is highly toxic to humans & animals. The Prunella vulgaris plant sounds wonderful to look into, thank you again! 🌻
Thanks! I was just in Jamaica and saw tons of Lantana and was very curious about it. Beautiful plant but good to know it’s toxic.
Thank you so much for this treasure trove of information!! I planted Self Heal seeds last year that I sources from 'Strictly Medicial Seeds'. The plant grew but didn't bloom but I expected that as many perennials don't put on a good show until the following year and onward. This year it's flowered BEAUTIFULLY and I absolutely LOVE it! I love it so much that I divided it and planted little masses of it in several different spots around my yard, garden and flower beds. The bees seem love it as well. Since I finally have flowers this year I had been wondering if it was as straight forward as most herbs where you just harvest, dry and store or use fresh as needed. I always like to make sure I'm using herbs properly for safety. Thanks a million!
ALSO, What style of tea mug set up is that? Does it have a name? And where did you get it from?? I'd live to find something like that. Would certainly save me thr trouble of needing different tools and things to make it. Just poor over a straining cup that nests nicely right over the top of the mug = YES PLEASE!
I wish I could give you a brand or store I bought it from but I actually found it at a thrift store. I am sure they have something like it online though. Perhaps search loose leaf tea straining mug? So happy to hear your self heal is blooming and bountiful this year 🥰
Oh yes, harvest and be blessed
❤❤❤❤❤Thanks for your nice presentation to share your knowledge with us. God Bless ...
Thanks for a thorough investigation of this plant, which has only recently come to my attention.
What is the north American distribution? We are in Florida.
It is found in Florida. There is a long list of states it’s found in actually. This site has the list: www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=prvu
It’s growing cycle will vary according to climate so I can’t say for sure when it’s blooming in Florida but I hope you are able to find some 😊
Just looked it up for Florida and it seems to be only in some Northern counties. florida.plantatlas.usf.edu/plant.aspx?id=1387

Thank you!! I need to find this plant and propagate in my garden.
Love your video. ❤
what great information you have 👍
I am just getting into the weeds in my little plot. So happy to have stumbled upon you 💓 I hope you are still doing videos
Thank you! Yes, I am still making videos 😊
Love your channel, thanks for all the great info and science!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy it! 🌿💚🌱
That's crazy, it looks soooo similar to a common garden "weed" Henbit. But henbits Latin name is Lamium amplexicaule. But it is also part of the mint family (square stem of course), purple flowers, like they look so similar!
I was thinking the same thing I have henbit all over where I live
We have a lot of self heal on our 11 acres in western Oregon. I'm going to harvest some... today 😃
Excellent knowledge. Thank you
Thank you!
One of my favourite herbs.
Thank you. Your explanations are both helpful and informative. Just found you with this one and subscribed. Now to binge watch on this restful day lol.
Earthday 2022 greetings Connecticut usa. thank you for flower,stem,leaf identifcation;botanical drawings,history,multiculural traditions of use. Your site brought back memory of lovely afternoon of tisane infusion from the Barrens in western Ireland.Jeannine
Oh that does sound like a lovely afternoon ☺️ thank you!
Just stumbled on your video. I've leaned about self heal through my partner. He uses it topically, I'm using it for stomach ulcers.
This is my first video to watch of uours. Great presentation and very informative. New subscriber here!🍃🌼🌻
After watching this last night, I noticed a TON of it - you know where!
I actually recorded this one last year for the most part and put it out a bit early. I bet you will see it on your walks and probably even on your lawn come June! Right now the purple dead nettle is out and I have been seeing it where you let me harvest from last year ❤
I started my HSV2 herbal treatment last month from #DROKOH and I went for couples of herpes virus test and so amazing my results came out negative. Dr Okoh herbal medicine cured me of my herpes virus.
Absolutely awesome I'll definitely be a follower ur the greatest in actuality a angelic soul in human form ❤100
Very informative video. I've loved Heal All for a long time but always purchased it from botanical pharmacies. Thank you for showing how easy it is to harvest. Would you do a video on how to make all your different concoctions? That would be very helpful.
Thanks again!
I have a few videos on making some of the herbal preparations featured in this video but do plan on making more how to videos in the future! Thanks for stopping by 🌿☺️💚
Thank you for your well informed video
Thank you! I hope it was helpful.
