Herbalist from North Mississippi here,good job, keep up the good work. Constantly trying to teach the young all this knowledge before old timers like me are all gone.
Thank you sir! I'm in West Monroe, LA and trying to learn from experienced herbalists to keep the knowledge alive. Please let me know if you ever have classes. I'd be willing to make the drive to attend.
It’s an acquired taste. Not all are interested, but I agree that putting this info out will bring in those that are! I had to grow up a bit before I became interested 🤍
I'm a practicing cancer researcher, (PhD biochem and mol bio, PI on several R01s, significant publication record) and wholly agree with the statements disregarding the cancer risk for sassafras. Everything causes cancer, when you concentrate it and feed huge amounts to model organisms. I'm more concerned about getting cancer from fast food habits than any freshly foraged foodstuffs.
Thank you for being outside the box in your thinking. We need more people like you in academia. You should look in to SV40 and Murine contamination. Corvelva Lab in Italy is doing amazing work against the grain too!
What's your take on the fenbendazole & Ivermectin on cancer? I'm starting to collect stories of people who have used one or both & cured their terminal cancer when everything else failed.
When I was a little girl, my granny (West Virginia mountains all her life...herbal healer) told me that in most cases, the plants and herbs that can irritate you (poison ivy, stinging nettle etc), the "curing" plant or herb grows nearby and sometimes with the plants that cause the irritation. Example, I have stinging nettle in my pasture. Plaintain (which alleviates the burning itch) grows all around it. I wish my granny had lived long enough to teach me more. She was amazing.
Big upz all the southeastern herbalists ive been realizing how many of us there are and that the traditional knowledge of these plants are in great hands 🙌🏼💚
Aw same girl,, and my grandpa got me hooked on sassafras. I think it's why I still love it so much because it reminds me if him. And there's alot on my property. I made some shagbark Hickory Syrup recently, made some plain, infused with cinnamon, some vanilla, and some with sassafras,,the sassafras was a hit with some of my family members, And we were thinking it would make a great pork marinade.
🎉 Thank you for this. My life path often is beset by times of homelessness due to poor relationship decisions and horrible financial decisions but I'm a world class camper and hiker 😂 and I can honestly say I will use this information. Thank you again 🎉😊
We always said that sassafras had root beer roots and seven - up leaves and stems….yummmm …we always thought God had fun making this for people as a treat…🥰
Palmate and pinnate leaf vein/rib patterns have helped me identify plants. I learned in high school biology that "palmate" describes the way your fingers spread outward when looking at your open hand, with your wrist representing the base of the leaf. The "pinnate" leaf is patterned like a feather with a central vein down the length of the leaf and multiple lateral veins off that midline vein. That image has stuck in my head for 50 years. Great teachers are never forgotten.
My Grandmother chewed the end of a Sassafras twig and used it for a toothbrush. I love the root tea! As kids we liked to chew the leaves. Oh for the good ole days in the 1950s!
Thank you for this very good, informative, detailed, and practical video! And especially thank you for NOT using any kind of background music. I am now subscribed:)
Honestly bro this is one of the better videos to cover a wide range of good herbs with good info. I have now added crossvine to my arsenal of herbs i collect
He lists this in the description, but here it is again, for those who didn't see it. 0:00 Intro 0:30 Sassafras 3:42 Mullein 5:12 Yaupon Holly (ilex vomitiria) 8:52 Wax Myrtle 10:21 Sweet Gum 11:52 Boneset 14:06 Wild Lettuce 17:23 Elderberry 22:03 Passionflower (Maypop) 23:46 Winged Sumac 26:39 Sweet Bay Magnolia 30:25 Plantain 32:57 Wild Violet 34:31 Dandelion 37:10 Spurge Nettle 39:09 Horsemint 40:18 Beautyberry 42:11 Crossvine 44:15 Goldenrod 46:19 Greenbriar 47:30 Free plant list
I had a really bad cold last weekend and used one drop of Goldenrod essential oil with one drop of mint oil on a piece of tissue paper wet with a few drops of water and folded it inside a face mask. 😷 It worked so well!! Within minutes, my runny nose had stopped and my sinuses were feeling better!
I have chronic sinus congestion & drainage. I oil pull with coconut oil, & mix in a couple of drops of oregano, peppermint, or rosemary oil with the coconut. It will really open your sinuses! Also can mix these into a vaporizer or a hot bath.
Thank you I learned a lot from you. I just wanted to add that dried corn silk also breaks up kidney stones, and good for lowering the Creighton in the kidneys you make a tea with it.
Oh wow what great news! First I hated pihe trees, but now we make pine needle tea, now his we hated those prickly balls,I calked it thrb"banana peel tree" because they'll knock you off your feet. But now I can use it for something useful! Thank you. ❤
This was a great educational video. I took 7 pages of notes. I've been foraging and growing edible and medicinal plants for about four years and I didn't know half of the information in here. Definitely, I'm going to watch his other videos
Thanks for watching!!! Be on the lookout for more coming soon. We just spent all day filming a new one. Should be ready to release by the end of the week.
I absolutely love sassafras, I have alot on my place. I made shagbark Hickory Syrup recently, and made some infused with sassafras,,yumm. My family thinks it would also make a great marinade..
Even though I have been gardening for several years, I never really noticed how many different kinds of leaves grow in different ways. I guess I recognize most vegetable and common flower plants by their leaves, but looking at the ones you showed here, it really was amazing. I found that as interesting as the different uses for each plant. 🙂
I’ve had yaupon holly now for about 5 years. I bought two about 10 years after planting my camellia sinensis. I would bet I probably have or know all of these plants in your video. 😀
Really cool that you explained about Ilex vomitoria. I remember leaning about it in a woody shrub ID class; however the instructor didn't explain in detail that it was used ritualisticly and it could also be safely ingested. Awesome.
Passion flower grows all over our fences. As a child I was fascinated by the orange butterflies that lay their eggs on it. I would catch the caterpillars and put them in a jar with some leaves to watch them build cocoons and come out as a beautiful butterfly
Yes, Gulf Fritillaries lay their eggs on sunny parts of Passiflora, while Zebra Longwings (our state butterfly) lay their eggs in the shaded parts of the Passiflora vines. Zebra Longwings with sometimes even form their chrysalis right there on the Passiflora vine. Great video. Nice to see something produced for us southerners. Most videos for the north or out west in California area. 😊
Many Thxs for this video and all that you do! My grandmother use to collect sassafras in the springtime for use as a spring tonic tea! Great memories of drinking Sassafras tea! as a child! ❤️👍🏼
Definitely a favorite. In Steve Brill's book he talks about soaking multiple batches in the same water to create a concentrate, then freezing it to use throughout the year. I want to try that this summer.
I have yet to see my elderberry be called a small bush. This past year they grew to well over 12' tall. And this was a freshening year, the year following us cutting them all down the previous fall. Lots of great information, great video ❤
Oh my word. I was watching this video with my kids for homeschool and immediately recognized something familiar about the whole video situation.. then you said your name. We’ve been avid Sheologians listeners since the beginning😂 I never thought I’d be able to recognize you just by quick clues. Thanks for the homeschool lesson!!
As for sweet gum, my grandparents showed me how to get “chewing gum” from them. Simply scar the tree, wait for the sap to dry, and it becomes “chewing gum”, sorta.
@@stettenfarms For me, not that great given I had real gum before I tried it, but not horrible. They did this as kids back in the 20’s and 30’s, so for them, it was probably good. It was pretty neat as a kid watching him cut a square off the tree and having to wait. It does take a little patience, as if you don’t let it dry long enough, it’s too sticky.
Great Video. I grew up in The Big Thicket of East Texas. I recognized many of these plants. Note: The roots of the Green Briar are edible, as well as the tender shoots.
@LegacyWildernessAcademy Awesome. As a teen, I couldn't wait to explore other places. I've lived all over the US, and I never knew how special the East Texas biome was until I left. Good Luck with your channel. The knowledge of medicinal plants must not be lost.
Oh my gosh I just downloaded your handbook and its so important to me - thank you!!! I actually had to order plantain because I could not find it here. I'm hoping to start cutting down some saplings but wanted to make sure I wasn't cutting anything I could use medicinally. The others will become fence posts or arbors. Going to try to plant mullein again this year also. I don't know why, but I've had such a hard time finding info on plants and fungi here. Probably has a lot to do with my dyslexia. Again, thank you so much!
You are such an excellent teacher! Well spoken, great clear photography, and best of all you GIVE CREDIT to others that you learn from! I love your channel! Thank you so much!
Ooooh! You're learning from Darryl! Good for you! I've been looking for herbs and most especially trees to grow. In Phoenix I had nothing in the yard that couldn't be used medicinally or be edible. I want that here to.
In High school, I took Wet & Dry Biology and LOVED it! I specifically grasped onto the plant identification parts and the bird call identifications ~ this channel is re-igniting my love for plant identification! I've noticed when I love and fully enjoy a subject, the information sticks into my memory quickly...which is so interesting to me ❤ THANK YOU for this channel!!!
I really like your presentations. No bs or beating the bushes . Ive used wild plants for years . Thank you so much . Your audio voice is clear and loud & American. Not some limey ai . The yankees aint got nuttin on southern folks. I can share more with u to use on ur show gladly. Flowers trees vines . One is honey suckle . Its full of vit c & will stop the worst cough. Another: white oak bark mouthwash wash . Horsemint for shortness of breath. I make a tea for pulled croin musles that works great. Mugwort tea for tremors. Etc .. Even got a tea to eliminate Cancer. A great book is readers digest tabletop reference on herbs . Im so proud of you my friend. And love to see you teaching your little girl on your videos. God bless you. 😊
Best video I've found! I'm so glad you put this list together with so much info! Last summer I used plantain leaves on my toddlers bee sting. His hand was very swollen but within just a couple minutes of putting crushed (chewed) plantain leaf on it it was almost completely back to normal!
I have a beauty berry shrub that the birds planted in my yard. I love it! It’s so beautiful when the purple berries are on the shrub. I’ve heard that people use the berries to make jelly.
I've made jelly from beauty berries before. It's really good. It's made from cooking down the berries into a juice and straining out like mayhaw and grape jelly. It's really good on toasted sourdough bread.
Matthew, you are awesome. Please tell Darryl thank you so very much for training you. I loved all of his videos & you have obviously been a great student of his. I've already subscribed & look worward for more gems from you.
HI😘i am So Impressed With the Plants I Love and Forage here in South Louisiana. Wax mrtyle, the Sumac.,The passion Flower, Elderberry of course. Oh and Rhanks for the Sassafrass ID 😀 I m Lookin for that one. I male Wine and will use that😉
Dandelions in like Montana and Idaho and Washington, all have similar single taproot, but depending on environment can be really short (usually found in groomed yards), tall and lanky (undisturbed shaded areas) or robust large leaves and tall flower stems. The last growing condition is great for kids and outside play, they can make their play salads due to how safe the plant is. Bitter it is too, except the yellow of the flower, that can be sweet.
Hi there! Thank you for this, just starting my full time vanlife and looking forward to learning from you! (So broke rn, need to forage for my pharmacy). Great presentation and excellent work ❤
Hi! I’m in southern NC and have lots of sassafras trees on my property. My mom made tea every year when I was a child. I never knew how to harvest it for tea because she didn’t care much for teaching us daughters anything although she was a good cook and could can just about anything. Will you please share how you make the tea? Thank you so much.
This is an EXCELLENT presentation of common and easily recognized plants that would be very valuable to any forager. Although i was familiar with most of the plants, you brought out a number of facts that I was unaware if about almost each plant!! THANK YOU for a well presennted and easily understood video....... I will be following you from now on!!!
@@LegacyWildernessAcademy Do you ever do collaboration? I'm starting up a botanically inclined podcast and would be honored to have knowledgeable speakers
plants in mint family have square stems. from there you should be able to figure out what kind based on smell once you I'd it as mint. til you learn the leaf qualities.

Jewel weed grows beside nettles the gelatinous sap is just like aloe.
Jewel weed cures poison ivy. Like your grandmother, my grandfather taught me that.

Me, too. My Granny was wise, too.

@@yrrekrepmuj1486 do you have a page or something where you teach the knowledge? Attempting to learn on my own at age 63.
How blessed to have had that time with her ❤❤💕👽
Oh my gosh I finally found a person highlighting the south herbal. So many are in the northeast US. Thank you!!
Yes! and I'm focusing specifically on the Coastal Plain, the DEEP south lol. Thanks for watching!

Awww, Sassafrass was the first plant I learned to identify when I was a very young girl.
I've had sassafras tea once I couldn't stay out of the bathroom for a few days
Aw same girl,, and my grandpa got me hooked on sassafras. I think it's why I still love it so much because it reminds me if him. And there's alot on my property.

Same with me a neighbor girl told me about sassafras when I was 10 years old . I use to make tea over an open fire I loved it
In the boyscouts their manual had a small herbs section
Same
I'm in The Florida Native Plant Society and give foraging walks. You taught me a surprising amount of info!
Wow, that's great to hear! Thanks for commenting!

Do you watch that itinerant sheep farmer channel? I always get some tips and inspo from that
We always said that sassafras had root beer roots and seven - up leaves and stems….yummmm …we always thought God had fun making this for people as a treat…🥰
I like that! Thanks for watching!
My slippery elm and Sassafras leaf tea really hit the spot this morning. Adding the elm can make it taste more creamy when you run out of milk also

My Grandmother chewed the end of a Sassafras twig and used it for a toothbrush. I love the root tea! As kids we liked to chew the leaves. Oh for the good ole days in the 1950s!
My MOM used sweetgum twigs for the same thing.
@Patsy Segars
Maybe we could learn from them. I've been a faithful brushed and at 73 I have horrible teeth. What's left of them!
Yours is the first video thats ive seen that shows all these plants together. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thanks for watching!
So,so awesome ❤

I had a really bad cold last weekend and used one drop of Goldenrod essential oil with one drop of mint oil on a piece of tissue paper wet with a few drops of water and folded it inside a face mask. 😷 It worked so well!! Within minutes, my runny nose had stopped and my sinuses were feeling better!
I definitely want to try this for my runny noses because of allergies. 😊😊

I have chronic sinus congestion & drainage. I oil pull with coconut oil, & mix in a couple of drops of oregano, peppermint, or rosemary oil with the coconut. It will really open your sinuses! Also can mix these into a vaporizer or a hot bath.

T ry a Himalayan nasal inhaler....they are fantastic
This was so informative! The best foraging video I've seen thus far. ❤
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Agree - hands down! Subscribed.
I am so grateful to God for this info! Bless these producers!
I had no idea about the sweet gum. There are several large trees at my grandmothers house. Those spiky balls were the bane of my childhood summers.
So glad RUclips suggested this video. I moved to NE Alabama 2 years ago. I know almost none of these plants.
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤ I know that feeling. I moved 10 years ago from Northern Nevada and have had to learn everything... We don't even have trees in northern Nevada 😭
Thank you I learned a lot from you. I just wanted to add that dried corn silk also breaks up kidney stones, and good for lowering the
Creighton in the kidneys you make a tea with it.
I used to have a guinea pig that LOVED corn silk. Apropos if nothing 😂
Great video. I love the idea of freezing the elderberry clusters to remove the berries. That has always been a labor intensive process for me. Thanks!
Me, too!! I love making elderberry pie, and elderberry-blackberry pie ❤
I will be trying this! 🤗
A fork works pretty well for removing the berries. Great tasting jelly
Cant wait for more videos like this! Im studying foragables but have a hard time finding south east specific videos.
I just started, but live in the southwest. Excellent, detailed information and presentation.
❤ thanks for this very informative video! Was not aware that the Sweet Gum had any redeeming qualities 😂
Oh wow what great news! First I hated pihe trees, but now we make pine needle tea, now his we hated those prickly balls,I calked it thrb"banana peel tree" because they'll knock you off your feet. But now I can use it for something useful! Thank you. ❤

I guess I recognize most vegetable and common flower plants by their leaves, but looking at the ones you showed here, it really was amazing. I found that as interesting as the different uses for each plant. 🙂
Mullein helped save me from my allergy symptoms. Forget Mucinex!

Sumac ade is great. Tastes like pink lemonade. Been drinking it for years.
Definitely a favorite. In Steve Brill's book he talks about soaking multiple batches in the same water to create a concentrate, then freezing it to use throughout the year. I want to try that this summer.
I also have used a couple of leaves with my berries. It makes it more like a tea.
Same here. And I use the red seeds as a rub on chicken!
I have yet to see my elderberry be called a small bush. This past year they grew to well over 12' tall. And this was a freshening year, the year following us cutting them all down the previous fall.

I've noticed when I love and fully enjoy a subject, the information sticks into my memory quickly...which is so interesting to me ❤
THANK YOU for this channel!!!

Wow! Great informative vid. This is one the very best.
I agree with another comment about the display of the plants names being helpful.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! I'm going to take that advice and add names in my future videos.
I really like your presentations. No bs or beating the bushes . Ive used wild plants for years . Thank you so much . Your audio voice is clear and loud & American. Not some limey ai . The yankees aint got nuttin on southern folks. I can share more with u to use on ur show gladly.

Best video I've found! I'm so glad you put this list together with so much info!
Last summer I used plantain leaves on my toddlers bee sting. His hand was very swollen but within just a couple minutes of putting crushed (chewed) plantain leaf on it it was almost completely back to normal!
It's crazy how well it works! I use it for my 4 year old daughter on her mosquito bites and it takes the itch right away
Thank you! Great video!❤
Love the downloaded guide! Hoping you have a full book too!
I have a beauty berry shrub that the birds planted in my yard. I love it! It’s so beautiful when the purple berries are on the shrub. I’ve heard that people use the berries to make jelly.
We have a wild one in our yard too. My daughter loves the berries
I grew up being told they were poisonous! So ridiculous.
I've made jelly from beauty berries before. It's really good. It's made from cooking down the berries into a juice and straining out like mayhaw and grape jelly. It's really good on toasted sourdough bread.
Love your video!!!Wonderful info! Thank you ❤️!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I like to forage, and I know many plants, but you've taught me even more and I appreciate it

Thanks for the great video. The description of the plants is really good.
Dandelions in like Montana and Idaho and Washington, all have similar single taproot, but depending on environment can be really short (usually found in groomed yards), tall and lanky (undisturbed shaded areas) or robust large leaves and tall flower stems. The last growing condition is great for kids and outside play, they can make their play salads due to how safe the plant is. Bitter it is too, except the yellow of the flower, that can be sweet.
Appreciate your breakdown of some of these mainstays
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi there! Thank you for this, just starting my full time vanlife and looking forward to learning from you! (So broke rn, need to forage for my pharmacy). Great presentation and excellent work ❤
Wishing you a happy new day
Thanks for the video and PDF. Very educational. It makes me want to go out and see if I can find these plants for myself.
I drink sassafras all time I also use it with honey and southern comfort to cure sore throat
Do you buy it or did you grow it yourself?
Hi! I’m in southern NC and have lots of sassafras trees on my property. My mom made tea every year when I was a child. I never knew how to harvest it for tea because she didn’t care much for teaching us daughters anything although she was a good cook and could can just about anything. Will you please share how you make the tea? Thank you so much.
@@BarbaraBoix-id5zf He explained how to make the tea, but said he would make a video to show how to make a natural carbonated drink.
Hey bro! Thank you for creating this. Very educational. Love learning about natural remedies, and plants I might want to cultivate.
Thanks for watching!
I dug some elderberry roots and planted near my garden. Now t hey grow 15 ft tall. Very prolific😊

@@LegacyWildernessAcademy Do you ever do collaboration? I'm starting up a botanically inclined podcast and would be honored to have knowledgeable speakers
Great information. Can you give more information on identifying various mints, in the future?
Sure! That's a good video idea for this spring. I have betony, horsemint, perilla, lyre-leaf sage, and a couple others around here.
plants in mint family have square stems. from there you should be able to figure out what kind based on smell once you I'd it as mint. til you learn the leaf qualities.
VERY informative! Thank you for sharing with us
Good information thanks for sharing
Fantastic video! Thanks for covering the SE!
