If you would like to make your own tincture here are the steps to follow.
1) Harvest the plant - never taking more than 5-10%. Chop the plant as finely as you can to ensure there is maximum surface area for extraction.
2) Place the chopped herb (which could be flowers, leaves, seeds, roots or bark) into a clean jam jar and cover with alcohol such as vodka. Make sure it is 40% proof (for Europe) or 80 - 100% proof in US. Give it a stir to remove any bubbles.
3) Keep the tincture for 6 weeks minimum and then strain out the plant material. Place the tincture into a brown bottle or into a bottle with a brown paper around it. That is it!! Use when needed - approximately 1/2 to 1 Tsp per dose.
Thanks for watching! xx
My grandfather taught me how to make Dandelion "coffee." He would roast the roots until they were dry over our fire at our family camp, put them in his coffee grinder, and brew them to make his "coffee." He has passed on, but I have started doing this with my kids. It tastes weird, but it's a good way to get nutrients into my kids, and they have fun making it. My grandfather was a huge forager, and now I can pass that knowledge on to my kids. I love watching your channel to learn new things.
That is brilliant - that you are passing your grandfather's wisdom on to another generation! I love it! I quite like Dandelion coffee too! I think I may have some in the morning xx
What was his name?
Before you dry the roots you need to wash them a lot to get rid of the dirt,then dry, then roast in the oven, then grind..when making the coffee, I put a big pot of filtered water to boil then add grated ginger, cinnamon sticks , cloves and cardamom..let boil a bit then add the ground dandelion roasted roots and boil for a minute then turn off the heat ..then strain and add raw milk and honey to taste. It's the most delicious coffee pr chai substitute ever. Enjoy
Great job 🙂 , keep up the great work 😊
I love your story! It is so wonderful that you are continuing your grandfathers tradition and your kids are involve. What a great way to keep the nemory of your grandfather alive and spread his wisdom ❤️
My neighbors hate me for letting my dandelions and other "weeds " grow ... one even bought me a tool to remove them and showed me how to use it 😂 another neighbor was actually in my yard pulling out my milkweed that I planted purposely to attract the Monarch butterflies. I finally put a little sign up saying that everything growing in my yard has a use and a purpose.
What terrible neighbours!! What a bloody cheek! No wonder your handle is Bollocks - you must be muttering it under your breath all the time with their shenanigans. Idiots! Great idea to put up the sign, hope it works xx
Lovely, Bollocks. : )
Yep mine are the same
As soon as i let the front lawn grow they stopped talking to us
They are two women living together
I tried to explain its for pollinators but it fell on deaf ears I even erected a sign which read please excuse the weeds we are feeding the bees
One day one said to me that the flowers would spread seeds over their sterile lawn which they have scalped every two weeks without fail 😂
Hmmm I think im in the same boat...Pretty sure my stinging nettle escapes..But havent had arthritis and sore hands since my egg lady showed me the amazing benefits of weeds!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden haha, yes! Somedays . People tend to see anything other than flowers as weeds or immediately assume they can only be growing because a person is lazy and never stop to think about the benefits for insects and humans alike 🌻✌
A farmer, who was surprisingly in touch with nature, told me once ‘there’s no such thing as weeds - they’re just plants in the wrong place’. Wise words indeed 😊
That was my Mother’s favorite quote. 👍❤️🇺🇸🇨🇱
That's exactly how I feel. I only remove plants in the pasture if they are toxic to my cows. And my Miko loves to nibble on dandelions
Why are some described as weeds whilst others are described as plants or vegetables?
Most farmers are very much in touch with Nature. People forget this
Absolutely 💜💜💜
Seeing as Dandelions are found world wide and that they grow freely in abundance and the list of illnesses that they can cure is enormous I suspect they were put here by God almighty to keep us healthy and happy, no not a weed ...but a blessing
Amen, I agree!
YES THATS RIGHT AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN.
A wonderful Australian naturopath, Barbara O’Neill, quotes often (from the Bible) that “God made plants for the SERVICE of mankind.
I ADORE dandelions & always have! I've never understood why some people are so intent on eliminating them from their yards. I don't cut my lawn & leave the few I have in my yard until the bees have finished with them (much to the ire of a few of my grouchier neighbors & the city, who leave notes that I need to "cut my weeds"). I had stage III inflammatory breast cancer several years ago & took part in clinical trials for taxol here in the US. I drank lots of dandelion tea following my treatments (under my oncologist's supervision, of course) & he was so impressed with how quickly my red & white blood cell counts rebounded, he began suggesting it to some of his other patients. I still drink it - although not as often as I should. Your video has encouraged me to be better about it. I have been cancer free for a very long time & intend to stay that way.
Which parts do you use for tea? Is it more like an infusion or brew?
Blessings for a long and healthy, happy life. These little packets of sunshine are wonderful allies, and it doesn't take long for them to be effective xx
@@kellyvargas6986 root for liver leaf for kidneys
The one time in my life that I took prescription meds, it was amoxycillyn, and I had a bad allergic reaction, to which the doctor told me to keep taking it. After 5 days of severe rash and stomach pain ( and the doc continuing to tell me to finish the meds) I finally went out into my yard, picked a few dandelion leaves, washed them and ate them. The rash reduced by 50% in only a few hours and the stomach pain subsided to a tolerable level. It's too bad medical universities are so entangled with pharmaceutical profits because we end up with too many docs, who could do a lot of good, pushing meds instead of implementing healthful and helpful healing practices.
I agree, it is a shame and such a waste xx
thanks to Rockefeller
I adore your videos, I’m 24 from America and I want to be just like you and learn all about herbs and Earth’s medicine! Thank you so much for always posting educational and lovely videos! ❤
Thanks so much Jordan. You are lucky to be planning to learn so early - you will have a life of great joy and pleasure xx
A tip from my granny over 50 years ago : if you suffer with spots/acne, you can have clear skin if you rub the stem sap onto the affected area.
It worked for me, all those years ago.
Greeks eat the leaves as a side dish. Pick smaller leaves as they are more tender. Clean and boil until softened. Drain and then pour olive oil and lemon juice on them. Eaten with some village type breads, rye, pani di casa, etc. Delicious.
After washing them I add mine to my green smoothie.
I suffer arthritic pain, I will be making a healing salve. Thanks for sharing
My grandmother would send we children out in Spring to pick dandelion greens which she would use to make Frittata Verde, a green omelette using salt pork, eggs and dandelions.
Must have been delicious! xx Thanks for the reminder. xx I put the greens into a quiche as well xx
I grew up eating dandelion salad because my grandparents loved it and made it every spring. I knew that shortly after Easter grandma would call me or one of the family to either take her to the country side to pick dandelions or have some one bring them to her so she could have her "spring tonic" When I moved beck to my hometown after the last of my family had passed, I even made dandelion salad for my kids. My youngest had me make a bunch of it for her so she could take it to share with her class for 'Show and Tell''. The teachers and the kids were impressed and everyone got a taste of the salad.
To try it yourself here is the recipe.
First take a knife and cut the dandelion, root and all out of the ground. Be sure to hunt them in places where lawn fertilizer, weed killer, or insecticide has not been used. Dandelions on the side of roadways are not recommended because of lead residue from auto exhaust.
Once you have gathered enough dandelions for a salad for the people who will be eatiing it, remove the flowers and clean the leaves, root attached, in two changes of water to remove all the dirt and critters in the leaves. Then cut off the root at the point just below where the leaves are attached to keep the leaves together as opposed to separating them. Put them in a collander to drain. Then place them in the fridge until ready to make the salad.
Next , boil three or four eggs and set them aside in the refirgerator or freezer to cool the inside solid.
While the eggs are cooled, fry four or five strips of bacon until just crisp and and place the bacon on a paper towel to drain. Save the grease in the pan but take the pan off the stove until you finish the next step
Make your 1/4 cup or so of your favorite sweet vinegarette salad dressing or use bottled. I prefer red wine or raspberry. It counteracts the bitterness of the dandelions.
Dice a medium onion or several scallions, green and whites and set aside.
Take the eggs from the refrigerator and slice carefully trying to keep the solid yolk and whites together
Put the dandelions in a large serving bowl. Now heat the bacon grease until hot, but not smoking and gently add the vinegar and deglaze the pan loosening the bits of bacon still there, then take the pan off the heat and pour the hot grease and vinegar over the dandelions and toss.
Slice the eggs and break the bacon into pieces. Add bacon and chopped onions to the danelions and toss one more time. Garnish the top with slice of egg to mimic the look of the dandelion flowers and serve.
Taste and add more dressing salt, or pepper, if needed
Enjoy !
Thanks so much!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Your welcome! Enjoy!
Great idea. Thank you. I‘m gonna try it for sure… 🍀
We grew spring lettuce & my Mum Mum used to fry some bacon, crumble it up & put back in the hot bacon rendering. When she put the lettuce greens on the table, she would pour the hot bacon fat & bacon on the lettuce. She called it "wilted lettuce" because the heat of the fat would wilt the lettuce a bit. I loved wilted lettuce!
Thank you so much for this lovely recipe.
My brother used dandelion root tea to treat prostate cancer along with other treatments and is cancer free. Our government here in Canada is trying to make it illegal to pick or use dandelion along with many other wild plants.
That is shocking, just say no, don't comply xx 💪
It just shows how the government know that natural remedies DO work and are working to protect the pharmaceutical companies!
Governments are tyrants & theives..... DON'T COMPLY.
Dandelions are the Goddess of Flowers because they are nutritious and medicinal from blossom to root. The look like the bright sunshine as well as a beautiful full moon and when you blow them and spread the seeds you can make a wish. Dandelions, Magical Mystical, Medicinal.
I Adore The Design Of The Flowers, It Remind Me Something, I Don’t Know What. It Is So Special.
Nature Has Spread them
Every where,They Do Fly !!! ❤️
I think the humble dandelion is actually one of my favourite plants. It is resilient, a pollinator, has a beautiful bright flower and is wonderful medicine! What more could you want!?! :)
I agree - literally and metaphorically Dandelion offers us a great deal xx I love his sunny face. xx
It helps break up tough soil so I’ve heard and I have a lot of clay and rock they tend to favor
It's also got one of the best mechanism for carrying seed as far away from itself as possible!!! 🏴
God's thoughtful graciousness to put the Dandelions almost everywhere for us... what a blessing!
Had a neighbour he was an old scotsman that showed us all the uses a dandelions, he was such a wealth of old world knowledge. The county came and told him to spray the weeds and he informed them that they were his crop lol. They never came back.
I've always wanted to come and visit Calgary, South Africa. Get some "old world 70's Bush!"
@@ghostwriter1415 dont know what that is ??? Lol
I always keep some dandelion teabags, as the desiccated root is hard to come by. However, you've persuaded me to order good quality seeds, Terri, so that I can grow some in a pot on my balcony. Wild foraging around here is hopeless, as everything is covered in spray, or has been liberally sprinkled by every passing dog!
The leaves are also delicious lightly steamed, and added to a warm potato salad, flavoured with garlic, olive oil, and a dash of apple cider vinegar.
Sounds great - tasty! xx
In Greece we steam or boil the leaves and we make a salad with olive oil and lemon.....we also make an ointment for massaging the joints...
Thank you for posting this, I just learned something 😊
We call that poke salad here in the states. It's what people are during the Depression and my granny made it for us. She also made Dandelion wine and Corn liquor and now we make it too. Those stems have a milky substance in them that has latex properties and the older the plant the more bitter they are!
❤❤❤❤❤
Last year I used my dandelion crop in salads. Lettuce was soooo expensive that I stopped buying it and used foraged greens and spinach. Thank you Terri💕
Foraged greens are full of vitality so you will be too! xx
It is very important to leave some behind for the bees, as it is one of the first foods available to them after winter!🐝
Yes indeed unless you have a garden full of other plants that the bees also love - as do the other pollinators. xx
I used the dandelion coffee to heal a UTI that turned into a kidney infection took 3 days but drs were busy and it saved my ass
Dried Juniper berries soaked in coconut or rice bran oil for 3 weeks used topically on the pelvis works wonderfully for uti

The next time you go to the gardening center look at the packets of round up. They display a dandelion weed being treated with poison. Ironically enough, that same company exports heart pharmaceutical medicine all over the world.
Theres a reason Dandelions are so prolific. It's there for a reason - to be consumed. There's no better natural plant for your health in nature. They know that, and that there's no profit in it for them.
Originally agent orange.
@@Theflowoflove unbelievable madness. What evil people.
Hypocritical AF!
"Follow the Money" pfff't!
Yes I had to stop my dad poisoning everything. I don't use bleach either. They grew up on fear of illness from dirt now we know it hinders your health to be uber clean bleaching everything. I think my immune system is good becsuse I'm always in the woods with my dogs getting muddy.
Watching you lowered my blood pressure and stopped my stressed,frantic day of lists and to do headaches.Your calm, kind demeanor would stop a raging lion in its tracks
Thank God for women like you. (i personally dont know any like you here in U.S. unfortunately)
In Greece eating dandelions is a staple .This is a superfood that has been eaten for centuries .I still eat them regularly .Best food on the planet
How do you eat them? I see them everywhere and want to try
Do you get them from a store of just pick them?
Angle, I just discovered the marvellous dandelion and now consuming massive quantities daily as our local store is carrying excellent quality and it is in season right now. Please share your favourite raw Greek dandelion salad or any recipe. I love Greek food and practicing making greek meals now for my family and guests.
I love to eat them. I grew up with them. Put a little vinegar 😋 salt and pepper with a pat of butter it is sun shining all over the place.
In Greece the farmers sell big bunches of dandelion leaves on their stalls. You can also eat them as a starter - it is called Horta.
One of my favorite short stories and movies features the Horta.
I love dandelions! They are so colourful and cheer the heart!
My favourite flower , the exquisite leaves and incomparable seed arrangement and it’s edible !
LORD Jesus, had me use dandelion tabs during an undiagnosed T. B. sickness, months ,my heart hurt so badly, I coudn't bend over. Then Heavenly father finally and miraculously, healed me! Bless you, amen.
Halleluyah
When you forge its very important to do as the Indians. Pick one skip 3. Pick another skip 3. That’s how u make sure those plants can sustain for generations
I liked all the dandelion talk, but I also really enjoyed watching you. You're about my mom's age and so lovely. Your style, hair, earrings, just everything beautiful.
Oh thank you! You are very kind xx
Classy for sure
Yes, so naturally elagent
I am 64 and i am of the same mind she is lovely and wise.
Blessed be💟
I'd cultivate a dandelion flowerbed. It's good to know they benefit the liver, kidneys and digestion. Bees love them too, and I love bees
Our planet is absolutely amazing, GOD has provided us with everything we need.
Indeed he has.
You should research the Abiotic Oil Theory too. Truly amazing.
I'm a Catholic, but I admit to being a Pagan Catholic. I just can't stop believing there isn't an earth Goddess you gave us all these wonderful ways to heal ourselves. Who knows how much She has given us that we have already destroyed. Blessings

My Horse loved Dandelion. When we would put her out to graze, she would eat the dandelion first. Thanks for the information about dandelion. Greetings from Swansea, South Carolina.
Love Dandelions. Juice leaves with carrots. Feel better after it. Have Dandelion root tea too. Lovely.
Thank you so much! People often ask me why I let Dandelions grow in my herb gardens and I tell them that they are an herb. Mostly it`s been flowers for the bees and butterflies. So now I know more!
After taking your class-I’ve been a medicine making fool! 😂 you’d be so proud of my Apothecary-and materia medica (just like you taught us!)
Thanks to my tincture friends: Yerba Santa, yarrow, elderberry, goldenrod, ginger, and calendula--coupled with faithful tablespoons of daily Fire Cider-I can tell you we avoided any sickness the entire winter! At the first signs, we were attacking the symptoms and kept everything at bay. Even my husband is a convert now! Lol
Thanks for the continuing education, Wise Teacher!
Lovely to hear from you Crystal and great to hear that are so empowered and healthy!! Good old hubby too!😀 Sounds like you have been busy xx
MY DAD ( HE WAS BORN 1911!) USED TO GET TO PICK DANDELION LEAVES EVERY MORNING! HE KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT HEALTH & LIVED TILL GOOD OLD AGE. OLDER GENERATIONS KNEW MORE THAN WE DO NOW ABOUT HEALTH. FACT. HOW TO CURE SCURVY- ORANGES & COD LIVER OIL- SWEETBREADS. SO MUCH INFORMATION IN THOSE DAYS.
it makes you wonder what happened to our knowledge of health?
A brilliant video! I'm a huge fan of dandelions. It saddens me to see neighbors paying good money to have poison sprayed on their lawns to get rid of dandelions. They end up with a vast wasteland of mono-crop Bermuda grass which is brown a good part of the year and a fire hazard. They are taking away food for bees. And worst of all poisoning bees, birds, their pets, children, and themselves. In contrast our organic yard and orchard are thriving green all year (semi-tropical climate) and we have dandelions through the cool parts of the year for food and medicine, all free. We need to continue to educate people about dandelions, and your video is a brilliant tool for this. Peace be with you friend. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
It is so sad. I see people using it here too and yet after a period of ugly brown burn marks, the grass and weeds come back!!! Why do they waste time and money and damage the Earth at the same time?? I have just heard of someone who is ill with cancer due to using herbicides and pesticides regularly. Sad to say many people don't realise that if a chemical kills another living being, whether grass, weeds or flies in the house, it is not going to be good for them either. Your garden sounds like an oasis of life and hopefully someone will look at your garden and appreciate how much nicer and beautiful it is. Peace to you and yours John and have a lovely week xx
I am totally in sintony with the way you think. I saddens me to see the city council order to kill all the sideroad herbs, and dandellions are amongst them. Last year i didn´t see them poisoning the sideroad here , maybe they are coming to the conclusion that every roots help combat soil erosion, and that we need to prevent the extintion of natural seeds. I am surprised and amazed to know that dandelions and a large number of plants grow everywhere, from Canada toJerusalem. Lovely.
I make my dandelion roots coffee.. first wash the roots a lot to get rid of the dirt,then dry, then roast in the oven, then grind..when making the coffee, I put a big pot of filtered water to boil then add grated ginger, cinnamon sticks , cloves and cardamom..let boil a bit then add the ground dandelion roasted roots and boil for a minute then turn off the heat ..then strain and add raw milk and honey to taste. It's the most delicious coffee or chai substitute ever. Enjoy
Sounds like a really tasty way to make Dandelion coffee. Thanks for sharing! xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden it's so delicious, it can be addictive 😉
My grandmother survived the Great Depression by eating dandelions
I've been using Dandelions for 40 years, wine making to salads, My mother and father use to harvest them every late spring. My neighbors skoff at me because I'm the only one on the street with them in my yard, they think they are useless weeds. But they are just city people that moved to the country and have no experience in wild/natural healing.
What do you use the tinctures for?
The name comes from "Dent de lion" Meaning lion's tooth in French, who named it so because of the shape of the leaves :)
THANKYOU for this. Dandelions are so altruistic indeed! I love your backyard and garden area.
I have made a tincture by juicing the plant matter in a slow masticating juicer .
I juiced Dandelion ,cleavers ,wild lettuce and nettle .
Then I put the juice and the pulp matter into the vodka .
I strain once sat and put into dropper bottles.
Tastes amazing and seems to really help my joints .
I have kidney disease and severe edema in lower extremities. Lasix doesnt work for me anymore, and always causes my potassium to drop to critical levels. Thank you sooo much for sharing this..
Had someone visit whilst I was away, saw my dandelion in the garden and pulled it out. My daughter pleaded with them not too, said I think mum is saving them. I was horrified when I got home. Funny little plant it is back in abundance.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
I would have been furious! What a cheek! But you can't stop Dandelion it is tenacious!💪😃 xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I was and I have sent him this video explaining why in a polite way🪴👩🌾
Freessabird,
Myself, I would be asking Karma to pay a very intense visit to whomever pulled any of my "weeds".
On the upside, unless the person pulled (ALL of) the tap root, the dandelion will be back. People have spent decades trying to destroy dandelions... but haven't even come close to putting a dent in them.
It doesn't make what happened right, but it's not the end of the plant.
Maybe have the kids/grandkids help you plant more dandelions (by blowing the seeds off of the puff balls). There is something magical about blowing puff balls with children; their faces always light up so wonderfully.
I was having gallbladder attacks fortnightly.. read up and found information. Started juicing dandelion leaves and beetroot as base of juice but added whatever else was round. Never had another attack. Believe I repaired gallbladder.
I suspect you did! xx
Love a garden salad with variable weeds and a sweet lettuce. I tend to use stuff fresh but do make rosehip syrup or elderberry syrup to get me through winter. Pine needle tea has been handy recently! I occasionally use a comfrey and calendula oil to help strengthen my bones. When eating the different weeds I follow a 'little and often' approach, ringing the changes to avoid 'overload'. They are potent healers indeed! Thanks Terri. xx
That is a great suggestion - varying and a little at a time as they are so potent! Life is wonderful xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine today... I hope it was lovely in Ireland too🌞💕.
Wow how do u make the rosehip syrup.sounds so good
Made and drank dandelion Flower wine for years,still going strong at 84.🍹(me not the wine)
Isn't that proof of the pudding, or wine 😂🍷xx
I am new to your channel.Your information on Danilionroot tea.Just started drinking .
Dandilion!,my mistake.Do you ever use vinegar /instead of alcohol.?
Grew up eating dandelions from our yard! The leaves were always served as a "wilted" salad for Easter. Grandpa made dandelion wine. The Pennsylvania German culture respected dandelions and other wild herbs. Can't foragne any more where I live now.
What a shame!! What is going on in this world - that is a rhetorical question. At least you got some growing up xx
Dandelion wine !!?? Wow.
My great grandmother used dandelion leaves as greens. She cooked them lightly in hot bacon grease and topped them with bacon bits. Yummy and good for you, too!
I have been doing apothecary journeys for well over a year. I started Elderberry bushes last year & this year they should be very beneficial to friends & family. This year I’m planing Wild Lettuce am hoping they help with the everyday pains we occur. I have a huge herb garden, veggie garden & many more spring, summer & fall projects on my calendar for 2023. During 2020 I made homemade Hydroxychloriquine with lemons & grapefruit, drank lots of Alkaline water with Electrolytes & was over the virus in 2 days. Medicinal is always best especially when you find out what they put into the pharmaceutical medications. Happy journeys. Oh I also make my own soaps, shampoos, conditioners, laundry detergent & essential oils to replace dryer sheets or additives. It’s fabulous when you can make your life & others lives around you happier & healthier.
Can you make a part 2 where you finish all what you were preparing, teas , salve, etc
To remove warts or skin growths or skin blemishes, you rub the white sap from the stem which you can get a number of drops from a number of breaks. Do it daily for a week and you’ll see a big improvement. For longer, they’ll disappear. Also the leaves are great for free food for your Guinea pigs.
The dandlion grows right along with all the beautiful flowers... never ever realizing it was a weed.
A remarkable one at that!
And such a beautiful flower - why does anyone want to get rid of it????
We humans call it a weed, it's part of our natural wild flowers.
While I was watching this video, I was cleaning dandelion flowers to make jelly, here in southern Indiana, USA. Will have to try the salve next.
Synchronicity! xx
What’s a salve mixture
What’s a salve mixture
Would you mind sharing how you make that jelly…would live to try it.Greetings from Poland
Can you please send me the recipe? 🙏🏻
Time stamp - 8:54 - If you chew dandelion leaves it can help restore your teeth enamel. Not many have listed this in their videos on the benefits of Dandelions
The lady has such beautiful hair!😍
Thank you for sharing ❤
My sister in-law had infection in her breast after giving birth to her son, she doesn't want to have antibiotics, my father told her to have fresh dandelion leaf mashed then put on to infection area. That saved her going to the doctor.
Ack in 1966 a Korean woman introduced me to dandelions greens. My father had me dig them up to get rid of them in our yard. We lived on Army post in Colorado. This woman asked for all the danelions i dug up.
I now grow danelions in my yard and encourage them to grow. I harvest them just like my mustard greens.
I eat dandelion greens since my mid 20s. I always thought they were delicious boiled and eaten as a salad. Most people never think I look my age. But after many medical issues that slowed my liver (energetically diagnosed by a Chinese Dr) I feel these are glorious food. I just do not tell everyone this is one reason I look pretty young as they simply would not believe it.
I remember a 92 year old Scottish woman still riding her bicycle. She said she ate 5 fresh dandelion leaves a day.
Can believe it 😇
I was curious if I had to prepare the dandelion to be eaten. But get the message that it's edible raw here. Thank you!❤
I love using dandelion! I have liver disease due to other conditions and I can tell that using it has helped. I just started so it takes time but I’m noticing a difference pretty quickly:)
How many times do you drink it in a day
When I was young i got really sick my temperature skyrocketed to the hundreds and my grandmother made dandelion tea for me and cleansed me with sage and the next day I felt amazing and my temperature dropped too
White sage, smoke?♥
Dandelion helped me heal from lupus
How did you make it? My friend has lupus and on so much medication. I would love to help
God made everything so perfect. All natural and good for you when you know what you are doing. God bless x
If people would just stop and think bc killing everything. Bees, worms, possum etc
Those dogs are cute. Just love the way they followed her around and patiently waited for her as she spoke to the camera.
Such a wonderful way to remember our Mother Earth and stay connected to her, and to ourselves!
Hello Lady,
Last night, while sleeping, I asked for help since my blood pressure is high. As I woke up and open you tube you came in first.
Nice to see that you dedicated your place, life and work to the female principle of the Irish ever green lands. You are dwelling with her divine essence to help the rest of us!!!! Thank you for real, lots of abundance of love, peace and laughter!!!!
I am SOOOO glad I found this wonderful woman. And her Moonstone is gorgeous! I have MS and have used natural medicines for over 20 years- and they do so much better than the $$$$$$$ pharmaceuticals.
You are welcome here and glad you are doing well on the natural medicines xx
O' Dandy Lion
so boldly yellow.
Sitting on my lawn,
such a fine fellow!
You are the first sign of Spring
whose early scouts make me sing.
Soon the whole mob will encamp
upon the green grass so damp.
Spread afar
Like Abraham's children.
Boundless stars,
over hills they will run.
With your gold we are rich,
treasure in a field niche.
Tis slander to call thee a weed.
Thou art a fair flower indeed!
I would no more yield
to mow you over
than a lucky field
of four leaf clover.
Shine on little sun.
With you life seems fun.
Soon parachutes will fan,
alight over the land.
You'll be left bare and bony
after your babies take flight.
I'll recall grey times, lonely
until you made the days bright! (by George Wooley)
That's a lovely poem!
Thanks for the wonderful information I just subscribed for you , I'm from Jerusalem Palestine and in our culture we wait for the dandelion season to stew the leaves with olive oil and onions , and In the old day our grandparents used to make coffee from in and it's part from the herbal medicine, would love to learn more from you , have a great day ,big love from Palestine ❤
How interesting to hear about stewing the leaves. It is fascinating to me that so many cultures use Dandelions, as they know they are beneficial and have so many different ways of including them as food or medicine. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the channel. xx
I agree with you in our Palestinian culture, spring crops is very important in our food system and we almost eat every thing even some poison plants our grandmother's thought is how to take out poison and enjoy the food. Big thanks for sharing your knowledge and feel honoured to be your student 🙏🏼❤️
Dandelion comes from french "Dent (tooth) de (of) Lion (lion)" just as the beautiful leaves of this magical plant :). I also heard a beautiful story about it saying, the yellow flower symbolizes the Sun the Round white sphere when it s in seeds is the Moon and when the seeds get carried away they becomes the stars 💜
Thank you for this informative amd sweet vidéo 🦋🌟🌌
Thank you for sharing this, I’ve always love the plant in its white seed form since childhood, I used to love going outside to look for them, pick them, blow, and watch them get carried away by the wind and land on the ground again…my grandpa told me by doing so I’m helping to grow more of them cuz each seed will turn into a new flower, i think its amazing especially when I can participate and have fun while helping it grow😊
Wow, just found your channel and 25 seconds into the video I was already feeling calmer!😊
Your beautiful voice and accent were a lovely surprise and great information as well!!
Thanks for the great video! 💕
❤🎉🎉
When I was in high school, for earth day one year my teacher in my junior year had us gather dandelions and use them to make natural and organic beauty products. we made natural hair wax, lip balm, and moisturizers. there are so many more things than that you can use them for, and it makes me happy to see this video
I have vivid memories of my very Italian Grandmother visiting our suburban home and gathering dandelions. We ate them as you would cooked spinach.
Thank you for sharing, I live in North West Devon, my Garden is full of Dandelions, I have lived here for over forty three Years and have never used Herbicides, I’m now 76 and will start to include Dandelions in my Diet.
when my two daughters were caught eating dandelion leaves on primary school fields I was seen as a bad father for telling them if they wash the leaves it was o.k. I wish I knew of your channel then. They should have field trips about Dandelions.
Wasn't expecting such a helpful and informative video. Reminds me to drink my dandelion tea for liver concerns rather than only coffee. See how our wonderful Creator has not abandoned us; even for our health issues he has freely provided cures in abundance. God bless you dear.
Beautiful comment. God bless.
We love to batter and fry the dandelion flowers in the same manner that we would morel mushrooms. (Indiana,USA)
They have a similar taste but morels are better. I find it good to fry the battered flowers up in coconut oil.
The roasted dandelion roots make a nice replacement for coffee or tea. I sometimes put dairy free flavored creamer in it.
Thank you for the video. I am enjoying it very much 😊
🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡
Bj Bobbi Jo : Fascinating, though I might skip the creamer ! I have heard the comparisons before---so nice share ! -(Tempe, AZ, USA--former Indiana, USA )😁🤗
I'm with you there!
6 weeks ago I made my first batch of Usnea tincture. I treated a sinus infection and it cleared up after 3 days....
Greetings Teri! This was fun. Dandelion has long been one of my favorites. Along with nettles and lemon balm. And lavender, linden and violet. Lol. Several favorites. As a matter of fact I don't think I've a single favorite in anything. There's so much good stuff out there. Happy Spring.
very intelligent and conscious woman. thank you for sharing your knowledge. much love
You are so welcome xx
My grandmother would take the dandelion leaves and make a tangy hot bacon dressing for them, then put the dressing and dandelions on top of mashed potatoes. Yum. I think you could do it with other lettuces too, we called it hot lettuce.
My mother, growing up in PA, living in the country, used to do that also. We all need to get back to this wisdom!
I am VERY healthy, and credit my SUPER healthful food intake, growing up!
We ate my mother’s creamed dandelion recipe, always!
These were the days when EVERYTHING was organic!
The wine is lovely- the best recipe is in the 1937 Give Roses' Cookbook. Also a good recipe for parsnip wine. Here is Canads'Frozen North Coltsfoot is the first flower to show, and I can well imagine how my ancestors would be thrilled to pounce on and eat the first greens of spring.
I aspire to be like her when i grow up
I have been eating dandelions since I was a child, however, since the 'war' on dandelions is prolific in my area I am forced to purchase these at the grocery store, instead of from the ground; albeit no flowers to be had. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Good morning, I just found your channel and subscribed. Your knowledge on Danelions is impressive.
I'm in Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸...across the pond ❤
I'll certainly be back for more...
I'm 72, a gardener for over 50 years and a Vermiculturalist since 2009. But every day is a new opportunity to learn.
I started a channel a couple years ago and try to share any knowledge I have with others. This is a beautiful way to share and care.
Happy Easter 🐣
🌷Peggy🌷
Welcome! xx
God gave us everything we need right here 😊
Excellent content and video quality - I thought it was some bbc type thing from the late 80's until she mentioned "hit the bell..." The world could definitely benefit from more media like this!
Thank you so much - my husband will be thrilled as he does all the filming and editing xx
I also add it to cooked vegetables or eat it daily in salad - instead of buying supermarket vegetables. As soon as I get tired of it I am going to start eating stinging nettles. All from my own poison-free land. If you are not used to eating wild vegetables it is better to start with little portions daily. Also, I never dried dandelion leaves because they certainly grow all year round, especially on my non-agricultural slopes and everywhere I let some of them flower. These guests are very welcome.
Also, you didn't mention what to do with the stems. As you said, they are hollow and contain a milky substance. If you spread that substance on the age spots on your hands, arms, face, it will fade them.
The latex is also really good for pain in the muscles and joints.
When my siblings and I were kids, we’d pluck dandelions while playing, and when we tore the stems the white substance would ooze out and we naturally called it lotion, spreading it over the backs of our hands lol. So it’s cool to hear that it’s actually good for the skin!
I've been eating the leaves as vegetables but never knew all these health benefits.
Thanks ma'am!❤
Thanks Terri, dandelions are natures miracle. I recently gave a friend a tincture. He suffered blood clots and ckd and fluid retention and prescribed the usual jollop!. Lethargy plagued him. Within a few weeks he has his energy back and am astounded at the transformation. Have also read that the dandelion has compounds which are spike protein inhibitors in case anyone is interested! So am off out when the sun shines to harvest and make more blessed be to you lovely lady, Jazz Broc and Loll x
The amazing power of plants and thst story just shows how well the body recognises plant medicine xx
For sure amazing xx@@DanusIrishHerbGarden
I give them to my guinea pigs who love them but I should be keeping them for myself. I have so many complications with my health since taking only one dose of that poisonous covid vaccine which they forced on me: neuropathy in my hands, legs and feet, fluid retention and constant pain in my legs and feet, dry and taut skin on my hands. Horrendous!
Are you supposed to take this daily? A spoonful? I'm interested in starting this.
In my home country we make salad from young leaves, thoroughly washed, add sunflower oil, salt a bit of vinegar and most importantly hot boiled (salted) potatoes and mix , so that the leaves become softer and coated in potatoes. If you want you can add boiled eggs on top. Enjoy. Our favourite salad. It's a pity the season isn't longer. ❤
Sounds great! X
I’ve recently discovered miners lettuce, also known as pig weed also known as wild spinach; delectable
Living in Chicago USA I feed my bunnies the beautiful fresh green FREE FOOD dandelion leaves from April through October! (and store bought parsley in the winter months)
My Guinea pigs loved dandelions too.
Lovely to see a fine day in Ireland... and dandelions blooming! Looking forward to my first salad... thank you! It's really as simple as that!
It really is! That's what makes life wonderful! xx
Thank you so much for the details. I think we were far more into this in the 1970's then we sort of lost the connection with nature.
Your show inspires me a whole lot because it's organic and I'm from an agricultural developing nation...I love your country because I'm a born and raised Catholic and I've a special catholic group of friends from Ireland who taught and ministered to me...may the good Lord bless the work of your hands as you assist mankind
My niece told me about the love of dandelion and what we can do with them. They grow abundantly in Ohio/USA. I did eat the flower head and it was quite yummy. Thank you!!!❤
