Editors Note: Yes, there are more than 5 plants in the video.. and Yes there are more than 10 plants in the 10 Herbs Kit. The eternal struggle to get Doc Jones to pick only 5 of his best plant-friends is ongoing...We'll keep you updated if we can ever get him to whittle it down 🤣
Hello mayamachine I would LOVE to learn herbal medicine to help myself and others to heal from cancer, diabetes type 1 and 2 all types of arthritis , inflamation, nerve pain neuropathy muscle, bone, joint, cataracts, high blood pressure, kidney disease all herbs that can heal our bodies,emotions,minds, My bones in my neck are pressing on my nerves caused from arthritis aka inflamation I would greatly appreciate your help in recommending any herbs, spices, teas salves I can help my body to heal to be be pain free and help others to heal. Thank you for all your help knowledge and widom. Fhoenix
I use cayenne pepper everyday for my blood thinner, I had 2 heartattacks and could not take the prescription drugs, I use herbs for everything, that's my medicine.
The kids and I made dandelion jelly this past spring and gifted it to neighbors on Easter. When I dug a new garden bed for garlic a few weeks ago, I saved all thr dandelion root. I just dried it instead of roasting it. Saving it to bounce back from whatever creeping crud winter throws our way. It's a real pleasure being a student of the HSBM. Thank you for teaching all of us!
When my grandkids were little, they would beg me to make dandelion fritters. They picked the flowers and helped twirl them in the batter and cook them. Good memories.
I've got to get back to the course. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to take a break but hadn't picked it back up. This makes me SO GLAD (amongst other reasons), that I chose this school. :) No time limit.
Wonderful Channel It is so Refreshing to listen to someone passionate about Herbs and Animals ❤ I love Animals and get really crushed when they are hurt😢 Veterinarian and Medical fields have become Rackets sad really sad
Thank you! I put cayenne in my coffee every morning. It’s a great pre workout too!!! Gets you sweating! If anyone is thinking about the school it’s amazing and offers so much great information. I’ve made medicine for family and friends. Wonderful!
I started the course much earlier this year and started off really dedicated, but busy life got in the way, so I've not been as dedicated as I'd intended. However, it's nearly winter, so these long chilly nights are looking good for revisiting my studies 🤞🏻😇💖
I use the more bitter dandelion leaves (leftover later in the season) chopped up in chillie con carne or curries as it the spice hides the bitterness somewhat.
I immediately thought of you saying 'if I could only have 5 herbs ..'😊I need herb help!! I killed my comfrey, some Oregon grapes, currant, salal, fern.... I'm in SW Oregon. Heavens.
You killed comfrey? Wow! I thought that was impossible! I planted comfrey years ago and haven't touched it, besides cutting leaves, no watering it or fertilizing and it grows like crazy! Maybe you're offering too much 'help' to your plants? Seriously though, plant a piece of comfrey root outside and just let it be for a year, you'll never be able to get rid of it.
@TheWidypierre ive heard that about mint. But I've killed both mint and comfrey i tried promoting after separating. It didn't grow well in planters but in and elevated raised bed it's massive. Happens with mint, some place I grow it, it explodes, other places seems it struggles to survive. I think you can kill just about any useful plant. I know when I was told mint was hard to kill, I thought I had q black thumb for growing, and didn't get into growing anything until a few years later. At the time I had tried the pot mint u buy in produce section, that's what I also killed. It was very discouraging when my friend is like you killed mint, you literally toss on ground and it grows everywhere.
I have harvested and dried many of the things mentioned in this video and am planning to make both tinctures and salves. Can I combine yarrow, plantain, comfrey, calendula, cayenne etc. and have one "treat all" salve or tincture?
Two questions for Doc Jones - Q1: With all of the herbs you mentioned in this video, can all be made into a tincture? Q2: There are wild squirrels in my backyard that are showing symptoms again, of squirrel pox. I started putting putting colloidal silver in the water dish I leave out for them, and yes I refresh it too. Two very young squirrels (5 months old and from the same litter) each had a large pox on their ears but once I started putting colloidal silver in the water it cleared up, within 20 days! This was back in July 2024. Very recently though (October 2024), I again noticed two young, and again around 5 months old, who have pox starting around their eyes. I've seen the disease progress on other young squirrels and they were covered in pox. It was awful and those ones didn't make it. Is there anything else I could add to their water or should I just stick with colloidal silver? Thank you.
Wow, maybe I should’ve use plantain on my foot before I use comfrey see I’m winging it?? I have got to take your class. I’m waiting to see if you ever have another sale
Hi Doc Jones, I’m wondering if you could explain deep puncture wounds and comfrey. I listened to your comfrey video and loved it. You advised not to use comfrey on deep wounds but also talked about it healing wounds. Sorry I’m a little confused about that.
Thank you Doc Jones. I'm learning alot and hope to use many or at least some ( I'm hoping to replace medicines) but need to check with my doctor first like you recommended. So thank you very very much 😊
I have an urgent question and don’t know how to receive the answer. Is there a video or any info on medicinal herbs that can be used for infants and breast feeding mothers? My grandson is special needs and when he gets a cold he ends up in hospital. Two years old and hospitalized 3x already. He’s very susceptible to RSV. Hope to see a video pop up soon on that. 🙏 Thank you
Very informative! When i have some extra funds i really want to join your school. Are herbs helpful for hair growth? That was something i was wondering and struggling with.
Having lost all my hair twice, once due to grief and once to Covid I can say yes there are definitely some will help What a huge help is getting rid of commercial shampoos, figuring out your hair type and using a very mild soap or detergent plus the oils you need for your hair I highly suggest mango butter and castor oil being in the top five or so ingredients Things like Comfrey and plantain as well as Rosemary and basil all make good washes to use on your hair for a final rinse and leave A small amount of vinegar in your water once or twice a month to help get out the excess junk is also helpful
Speaking of herbs for pregnancy, been seeing butterfly tea everywhere. If your pregnant can you drink it. I can't get a real answer about it. Can you help?
Doc, I had to replay this part a couple of times. @7:40 you state that "..echinacea suppresses hyaluronic acid which is important at rebuilding tissue.." Don't you mean to say the echinacea suppresses the venom that destroys the hyaluronic acid? Please school me. Thanks!
, I truly believe comfrey has amazing capabilities yet you can’t put it on an open wound that possibly may be infected because it will not draw out the infection. It will seal it in. I learnt this the hard way, this past summer my toe was amputated by my horse and I was bare foot so lots of bad bacteria and I wanted it to heal faster but I only got a setback because there was an unseen infection in the toe, so they had to do surgery remove a joint & open it up. Allow the infection to drain. I had to discontinue the comfrey until after the infection has subsided, and there was no openings.
Hi 👋 so thankful for all you do. I have learned so much from your school! I will go back when I’ll finished and start it all over again! So glad I found THE HOMEGROWN HERBALIST! ❤❤❤
💪🌱 Thank you. Old man's beard grows heavy in a certain forest that I love in Leeds Maine. I've learned alot about it's usefulness. It tastes like a mildly peppered pine forest.☺️🌲
Greetings Doc, I’ve only been aware of your teachings for a few months, I’ve been binge watching a lot of older stuff, among them was one on dandelion, a few years ago. In it you mentioned “chase tree berry” as an aside in talking about inhibiting unstable hormones as it related to acne due to male hormones effecting hair growth and that girls might profit by it as it had progesterone; got me wondering if that might help to reduce facial hair growth in menopausal women as their hormones are going nuts too! What’s your take on that. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and incites with us plebes! Blessings
What discipline you have to stop where you did. When I start talking about herbs i get diarrhea of the mouth. The plants you mentioned are in my apothecary. I use infusions of plaintain and calendula for all my topical skin care from foaming castile hand soap to drawing salve and antibacterial salve. But then I would have to mention usnea, oregano. And who doesnt love mullien or self heal, lavender, yarrow. And awayyyyyy I go. I'm sure many who are not passionate about alternative medicine would have glazed over eyes at this point.
I have a question about the efficacy of black-eyed susan vs purple coneflower. I constantly hear that black-eyed susan isn't as potent. Is this true, and if so is it even by a measurable amount or is it not enough to even worry about? I've started making our own tinctures and didn't know if it would require a larger dose to make up for any perceived differences. Thanks!
Editors Note:
Yes, there are more than 5 plants in the video.. and Yes there are more than 10 plants in the 10 Herbs Kit.
The eternal struggle to get Doc Jones to pick only 5 of his best plant-friends is ongoing...We'll keep you updated if we can ever get him to whittle it down 🤣
In my defense, there are only three kinds of people in this world; those who can count and those who can’t.
Doc
😂❤

Can you do one on what NOT to use when pregnant and nursing, please?
What is the 10 herbs kit ??
1. comfrey

And God bless him for this overabundance of sharing knowledge. We need more folks with such an "affliction"

I am in the same boat. Winter is here, time to get back to his course!
I make a batch of dandelion jelly every year! I clearly don’t make enough because we run out every single winter.
@@ajquimby121 would it be possible to get the recipe?

It is so Refreshing to listen to someone passionate about Herbs and Animals ❤
I love Animals and get really crushed when they are hurt😢

I make dandelion wine and jelly. It's a job of work, but it's good
Thank you Doc I had coffee with you this morning so much good info here.

The best kept secret of gardeners is that they kill more plants than they grow 😅 You just need to keep planting and growing ❤❤❤❤❤
You killed comfrey? Wow! I thought that was impossible!
I planted comfrey years ago and haven't touched it, besides cutting leaves, no watering it or fertilizing and it grows like crazy!
Maybe you're offering too much 'help' to your plants? Seriously though, plant a piece of comfrey root outside and just let it be for a year, you'll never be able to get rid of it.
You can’t kill comfrey. It’s impossible 😅. I love that plant. You can feed your chickens and in the garden

Can you do a video about safe herbs for all trimesters of pregnacy.
I have harvested and dried many of the things mentioned in this video and am planning to make both tinctures and salves. Can I combine yarrow, plantain, comfrey, calendula, cayenne etc. and have one "treat all" salve or tincture?
My daughter and I make dandelion flower fritters in the spring. Really good!

Thanks a lot for all your excellent videos
I absolutely love dandelion! And it’s actually what started my herbal journey!
Can you make videos on how to use these flowers?
Honestly, I’m glad you’re not good at counting ❤
Hey, thanks for the five or ten herbs
Good information! Probably it was hard to choose just 5 herbs😅, I know for me would be!

Does desert mallow have the same medicinal value as the mallow you mentioned? It’s a native in NM where I live.
Thanks, Doc!❤😊
Thanks Doc, hope to do your classes after January!
I have an urgent question and don’t know how to receive the answer. Is there a video or any info on medicinal herbs that can be used for infants and breast feeding mothers? My grandson is special needs and when he gets a cold he ends up in hospital. Two years old and hospitalized 3x already. He’s very susceptible to RSV.

Things like Comfrey and plantain as well as Rosemary and basil all make good washes to use on your hair for a final rinse and leave
A small amount of vinegar in your water once or twice a month to help get out the excess junk is also helpful
Hard to pick only 5 herbs .Great video Doc. again, thank you.
Could the onion and honey be good forever or will the onion go rancid?
Good morning! I enjoy having your vidios too watch in the morning! Thank you
I love chamomile
Speaking of herbs for pregnancy, been seeing butterfly tea everywhere. If your pregnant can you drink it. I can't get a real answer about it. Can you help?

Doc Jones,
Will you be adding a course on pregnancy and nursing moms?
I always enjoy your videos and can't wait until I can join your school
Nice! I eat cayenne and drink dandelion root & leaf tea everyday!
I use camomile for a steam for my face
Would you mix ginger turmeric and Chamomile for a tea? I like ginger tea every now and then,
Does your store have anything for pancreas?

Dandelion bloom: an olive oil based moisturizer that is spectacular ❤
Can you still use comfrey externally even during pregnancy or nursing?
Is there any information you have found for neuropathy of hands and feet due to chemotherapy treatments?

Regarding echinacea flower - use just the petals or the middle seed portion too? ( Presume I dry it before use?)
What could i use for kids cold/cough?
Onion infused in honey as a cough syrup.
@reibersue4845 thank you
@ginaortega3901 only use honey if they’re over 1 year old. Not safe, otherwise.
I don't see the link for plantain

How to use comfrey for your lungs is important too🥴✌️
What about comfrey and cancer?
Is a chamomile tincture or tea better for kidney restoration?
@@MySuewho either one is good. Nettle seed is good too. Look at the kidney builder formula.
