Bush Tea, Herbs, Plants and Botanical Stories is a five-part video series taking viewers on a journey of discovery into the benefits, traditional uses and even folklore of local herbs, plants and grasses.
Africans around the world are really waking up and remembering their Ancient Ancestor's African Spiritual Practices! I love it! Asè!!
A lot of Caribbeans are native to the America’s. We are not all from Africa some of us already existed in the America’s with our own practices(if you look back in ancestral history you will see this). We (Afrikaans & Indian Americans) are cousins
Herbs is the healing of the nation thank god we realizer that
A list of some of the herbs shared:
Citrus limon
Leucaena leucoephalam (White leadtree)
Morinda citrifolia (Great Morinda)
Ricinus communis (Castor bean)
Argemone mexicana (Mexican prickly poppy)
Petiveria allicacea (Guinea henweed)
Ixora coccinea (Flame of the woods)
Do u know what is the plant at 11:00? He says all that info but never the name
Mr Anthony Richard iam watching from Antigua Barbuda'
In the American South, enslaved peoples marked graves with a purple flower that easily took root and grew as a ground cover. Long abandoned gravesites have been identified by these flowers that appear suddenly in a forrest. The connections to the Continent remained strong in our ancestors!
In Indonesia, especially Java island, we also plant that purple plant on the grave and also use it with other plant and flower for some ritual before bring the dead to the grave.
Very educational, but I wish they will share more videos of the plant close up.
The draceana is a very special plant in Cameroon 🇨🇲 we use in death ceremonies funerals big significant ceremonies and to celebrate birth especially that of twins. The red one too is very common in the south west province of Cameroon
The bush medicine people are the people of the day. Two doctors told me they were not expecting me survive my surgeries. But thank God I came alive
Began using herbs and found improvements.
Great
💚👊🏽
Any you know of in the Washington DC area?
But yet they still performed the surgeries... Smh Unbelievable.
Thank you for such an enlightening program
I love one the things one lady said "every country should be able to feed it self" God bless you all!
Very educational.Thanks and all the best from Trinidad. 💯
Watching from West Africa Ghana 🇬🇭. We love you ❤️
Wow I found this extremely interesting, lived in Barbados for a while so know a bit about the island, now I know alot more!!!🇯🇲🇯🇲
I saw the trailer for this earlier and was eagerly looking forward to seeing the episode. The contributors were knowledgeable and very interesting, however I was really disappointed that many times instead of showing the plants that was being discussed the videographer focused on the speaker's face!
Looking forward to Episode 2.
Thank you.
Nice to know the Caribbean lsland are working together and motherland connections.
No.
Interesting News,for everyone to know what is growing in their backyards,in any Carribbean Country.
A list of the herbs mention in the video would have been good.
Thanks to the NCF. I enjoyed this educational video by the knowledgeable presenters. However, it would have been more helpful if the photographer panned to show the plant as it was being described.
Instablaster...
@@rylancarl4770 Q
I am from trinidad and tobago I really love this great information about herbs n the history keep up the great work
I love you from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Very informative! It would be helpful if the video was re-uploaded with on-screen captions / infographics of the names of the plants.
Please list and show the plants being described, with timetable?
Very good information about the rock, it also shows we should never lose our ancestral connection to mother earth.
This documentary is brilliant, insightful and inspiring! I learnt so much from this and I appreciate the production in creating this education clip. 💜 Much love from London UK 🇬🇧 ( mixed heritage: 🇮🇪🇹🇹🏴 ✊🏼)
Love your name
Luv it n luv ♥️ u all for this enlightenment Bls 🙏♥️🇬🇾
My grandfather use to say every bush tea becomes a medicine. Boil the bush week it is a tea boil it strong it is a medicine.
Great video family watched today to learn some of the good plants but camera man needs to zoom on plants vs ppl faces and edit the video and add captions on screen with plants and benefits for ppl speaking fast. Everyone doesn’t get bajan dialect who will watch these on RUclips.
What a wonderful conversation! The lessons should be made available throughout our schools.
The plants that are used in the cemetery, are also used in Trinidad and Tobago, as boundary plants.
Wow I enjoyed this educational video and thanks to my mentor Dr. Anthony Richards for the knowledge impacted.🙏💪🤗
Interesting topic but one problem you cannot recognize some of the herbs because the camera is too far from the plants
Safeguarding ancestors secrets of true natural medicine
I thought it was I alone who recognize that the cameraman was not doing a good job so I could identify the smaller plants.i am from St.kitts and is very passionate about our indigenous plants and their uses. Was hoping to see if I could recognize the smaller plants in my trod around my area where I live
@@clauderichards3208 true. I would also like to know what is the name and use of the burgundy flower with the long leaves in the first part of the video . In Portland Jamaica I heard it called dragon blood .🇯🇲
@Iona Van Nooten, that is probably deliberately done so as to protect their rights.
Seems to me the Caribbean and Africa have everything we need as Afro people
@Asley Ricketts : Also reduce salt and sugar intake.
@Asley Ricketts : Hi Asley
, Have you tried using herbal teas to see if they can alleviate the problem ?
@Asley Ricketts : I am sorry to hear. Keep trying different remedies, also I have read celery is good for this condition.
@Asley Ricketts Spanish needle is very good to lower blood pressure. I have used it personally. It grows wild in my yard here in Jamaica.
@Asley Ricketts Maybe you can get it online to buy. If you were by I could have got a lot for you. It is edible .
Thanks, my sis 2024 i'm still learning too
THE CHILDREN OF THE GARDEN IS FIGHTING BACK YOURE 100% IN GOD,S SIGHT...UNITY IS STRENGHT 100%..
As a Caribbean person growing up in England and returning to the Caribbean as a grown vegan woman, I felt very keenly, sadly, my lack and mis-education and the huge void of ignorance, that welled up inside me when I became a mother and I knew nothing but the darkness of my rich ancient, Afro-Caribbean heritage when it came to botanicals and the mystic use of the most common o' garden plants used in my own island and the diaspora in general.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learning from the information shared in this video.
However, I have one critical commentary and that is to do with the focus of the cameraman's lens being too much on the narrative characters, their appearance and attire, more than say a detailed closeup view of the actual plants and the top and underside of each leaf which was being described and discussed.
🌱
This is so informative. We strayed so far from our original structures. I love the Doctor retelling the Bajan tradition with the lime which is straight out of The Motherland. Also love the African seeing a plant which would kill the colonizers.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. ✅
I am so grateful to the NCF for this series. There's so much information, so much knowledge to be gained. Unfortunately it was ruined by the videographer and the presenter. I am looking forward to seeing it done properly.
great job
Wonderful! Thanks to everyone for the teachings. Next time it would be good to get a close-up of the herbs.
Totally agree,we are seeing the people face instead of the plants.
This is very interesting. We need local sessions to show how to identify the plants and how to use them.
I enjoy the story of the herbalbush reel good
True, we can try petitioning NCC or some organisation, to organise some training.
There are herbal hikes organized every now and then. You can reach out to the same people in this video.
Peace and Greetings my beloved sisters God bless mother Africa hey family I love you ❤️❤️❤️
Thix vedio is amazing but the reason y our people continue to suffer is because we do not share information this is also the problems
I love it!! Thank you all so much for such fantastic, valuable information. I love studying about plants and I will watch this video more than once. Bless you. Namaste'
I love the nature and herbal education on this video. The professor looks like a Fante from Ghana.
that was exactly my thought, he looks like the Eghan family
Quite stimulating really, thank you. It would be nice if the camera would give us close ups of the leaves , the fruit and the seeds so we can identify them. Thanks again !
very informative. Would love to see more presentations like these
Best accidentally find ever.
goodm thank you for waking up the caribbean people who keep sleeping with their history and love fake life keep teaching my sister i hope the youth learn from it and help make that change we need to enprove the life of our people from poverty and claim high unployment when we have a gold mine waiting todiscover herbs or bush for medicine i love it we were researching all ourlife and using herbs as tea and medicine from slavery to this day thank you god bless keep the earth and plant alive the rich resource the creator bless us with buenos dias adios
This is amazing. Thank you.
It's amazing how much Barbadians have moved away from living and eating healthy and natural, for the carcinogenous, chemical laced, supermarket whithered ,package foods.
It comes from absorbing the white man culture. First religion, then education and now entertainment. Our children see McDonald's and Pizzas being advertised on tv so they want it. Then we allow these companies to sell us their strange food. We have to wake up.
This channel is bomb!!!! Love the information and love the people sharing the information!!!
The photographer did not focus on the plants for a long enough time, did not give closeups while the herbalists were commenting. Nonetheless I am happy to have had the opportunity to view the video.
Just stumbled on this while searching for Iris Bayley’s “Bush Teas of Barbados”. So excited to follow this!
This is excellent. However the camera should focus more on the plants as often we could not see what speaks were talking about. The Riley siblings made the books- "In your own backyard " prof made mention of this. Grannylove (aka) I do an information program on herbs etc. On community radio in the uk. Thanks to all of you. I am going to share.
Yeahmon, we have so much plants for everything, great vid. ONE LOVE
Beautiful video thank you! I am heading to Jamaica. I make tinctures and medicine and forage. I would love to find a medicine person there.
very informative program , i took a group on a herbal identification hike a few weeks ago . ill share this with them . Thanks for sharing.
Very Good video and educational... THANK YOU
The Leaves and the herbs are for the healing of the nations
we need more of this fi out out tthem doctor
The first place I saw that Boundary-plant was at my "Aunty Cindy's" house in Lacovia St.Elizabeth.
Wonderful show hoping to see more also for the doctor what is stopping us from making a tablet version of the papaya leaf extract for dengue fever. This could be the start of our pharmaceutical industry. Also regarding funding for your sector meetings why could we not get cooperating government's to approve a lottery that would fund herbal medicine development.
Thank you all great show an abundance of information.
Diabetic swollen feet used the castor leaf to help the swelling.
Wauw this is a revelation, because in Europe they learn that the leaves are poison even if you touch it. I also learn that you can use the leave of castor leaves for wild growing meat on your body. Thank you for the information. I am gonna use it on my mother she is diabetic. Can you give some more information how to use it?
That is right tradition fron 🇯🇲Trelawny Albert Town cut lemon but you must keep a piece
Is that an African honey suckle of some sort? I fell in love with it 💚💛🧡💜 can you let us know the name traditional and scientific please 🥰
Nice . I am awaiting when you all start to research and touch on our indigenous peoples. Those who were here when the scouts ships came. I will subscribe and see hiw things develop. Keep the great work up!
Correct! I’m aware some of us are indigenous to this land
We believe in plants to heal and have made videos on our Asosi Tea .. love this content and can’t wait to visit and highlight your country on our channel . Well done !
Please show the plants up closer. Thanks. Good show.
Thank you for this video so informative.
Interesting and encouraging!👍
Please post contact information of persons being featured in the description for your videos.
You need to show close ups of the plants etc. For eg what you call Exora in Barbados I believe is called by some other name(s) in other Islands. There are names that even in an Island varies from community to community . There may be myriad reasons for that .eg. French influences or Dutch or just plain local names based on what was passed down by Ancestors.
I still am unable to identify the Exora from the picture.( Not Banan.
Thank you for doing this!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this very informative information
I would like to know if you offer training in the herbs. I would love to learn to help others heal.
Amazing! I will be using these.
We have this in Jamaica 🇯🇲
so very amazing thanks about these plants
Very educative.
I’ve truly enjoyed this, every informative.
Thanks for sharing🇧🇧👉🏾🇨🇦💨💨@420. We now need to fight for tne right to grow our own cannabis
I recognize a lot of the herbs right here in Florida 🤔🤔
Very informative really teaches me alot thanks much
Very informative.
Amen
Thanks you
Love this.
I wrote. Not B. A.J .A.N. BUT THIS PHONE IN IT'S ULTIMATE WISDOM CONTINUES TO PUT ( NOT BANAN(.STUUUPES !) SUCKING MY TEETH.
In Jamaica, we called noni duppy soursop.
Looking at the fruit that name (duppy soursop) makes sense. In Barbados we call it dog dumpling.
Great
Greetings, new subscriber here. Wow, I did not know the tall tree is associated with Chango. I am an orisha practitioner , I have a tree that must be cut before it creates damage to surrounding area , as per my county …how would I pay homage to the tree / Chango before removing the tree..
Awesome show
I saw dogs eating the Noni fruit in Trinidad...thought that was the reason it got the name "dog dumplings"!
respect from ja
Oh this had me in the first 3 seconds! Good stuff :)
Would have been cool if camera person focus/show plants being described
Is there a contact info for the dr¿
Nice Work.
You could show the plant in detail instead of the people talking. I still couldn't tell what some of this look like
Greetings... Res Iles, shared a name of a plant at 35:44 but I can't hear the name well. I interested in knowing what this plant name is. Give thanks!
Why is the person focusing on the man and not the plant?
Was that "inflammation bush" / thistle used for viruses? What is the species name? Thank you much!
Topic very interesting
