    On the topic of religious restrictions it was super funny last week cause I commented to a friend that I need to remember to ask the bishop where to get cheap vodka and they just stared at me like "your bishop drinks?!"
    "No. My bishop is a professional chef who I know makes their own vanilla in bulk every year."

    As I'm learning I like to get my herbs in food, so there's less worry about dosage. I lowered my borderline-high BP by putting cinnamon on my oatmeal, cayenne in my tomato soup, and eating garlic bread more often. I've gotten some powdered herbs, alcohol, and amber bottles so I can make some tinctures...and I've got seeds for at least a dozen different herbs to grow this year, in addition to my dandelions, lambs quarter, shepherd's purse, mallow, purslane, hollyhocks. So much to learn!!!

    LOL! "getting the bejeebers kicked out of me" I can relate! But I really appreciated this because I'm learning more about herbs and such that are good for arthritis for both me and my older Border collie. And the young dogs, too, I want to do more preventative 'medicine'. I have arthritis in my thumbs, and that makes it tough to do my farm work, garden, shovel snow, or even drive some days. I've always been a huge fan of vets. As a little girl I went on ambulatory calls with Cornell vets because my sister wanted to be a vet (back in the day when they really didn't let women in). Then I went on a lot of cow calls in the '70's in high school. I'm a horse person, but this is dairy country. There are a lot of human doctors I don't think much of, and I've had a few 'discussions' with because they are wrong. EX: They wanted me to take omeprazole forever. This makes no sense to me because if omeprazole cures an ulcer in a horse's stomach, it will cure my ulcer. I leave them speechless, and I didn't take that at all, because a sip of vinegar did the trick! Thanks Dr. Jones.

    Some herbs need an alcohol to remove certain chemicals that our bodies can pull out naturally so it also depends on extraction method. Water, glycerin, alcohol and steam. Glycerin is actually a form of natural soap. It's made by mixing with lye do if you're wanting a more natural form they don't go that route. Thank you for all the information.

    Tinctures are always my first grab, but I will say that when my family was weathering covid I (the mom of the family and the herbalist...) got SUPER tired of taking tinctures. I see a lot of value in a good understanding of using herbs in various ways....and of stocking them in various ways.
    I love your daughter's tea line and have even tinctured a couple of the teas, so we can take them either way. We have a nice supply of what I call "40 Winks Tinc"--lol...great tea and good in tincture form as well. I've tinctured Nourishing Roots, too.

      Perhaps you could do a little "wild foraging" to obtain some simple herbs/weeds/ and other "free" foods. You can always dry them in your room and then have them at the ready. Easy to find: Dandelion -all parts, Plantain, Mallow/ Malvaceae Neglecta, Cleavers, Purslane, London Rocket/ Wild Mustard, Russian thistle, & Nettles Rinse/Wash the cut herbs - tie them up with a rubber band, hang them upside down in a dark well ventilated area until they are very dry -then store them in a glass jar with a lid. It's great to do a foraging walk and learn to identify the plants you find as well as the walk is great exercise and health giving.

    Just started watching you yesterday. You're hilarious! Sometimes it's not clear what you're saying ( talk fast in different parts of you sentence) but when you crack your little quips it just tickles My funny Bone!!

    Randomly stumbled across this video! And super inspired!
    I love growing my own herbs, but I never use them because I can’t stand the texture of little green “bits” in food lol
    I’ve often wondered if I could dry and powder them! Love the taste ( of most herbs ) and obviously the health benefits… surely adding powdered herbs into dishes can’t hurt right?

    The main use I have for herbs these days is for cold/flu prevention and treatment for my little kids. If I plan to just make a fresh batch each year, would that be an appropriate use for glycerides?
