Boost Your Immune System with Wild Plants

I show you 6 common edible wild plants you can add to your diet which will boost your immune system and improve your health. I also suggest several ways to use these plants in food.
I look at cleavers, jack by the hedge, nettles, wood sorrel, dandelion and wild garlic. These are all common plants, often considered weeds, in the the UK. Wild foods are so good for our overall health and whilst we're foraging we are also outdoors getting exercise, fresh air and sunshine on our faces.
Woodland Classroom host courses in foraging, wellbeing in the woods, mindfulness in nature and bushcraft in North Wales. If you would like to know more, go to: woodlandclassroom.com/
Support us on Patreon to make more videos like this, get exclusive content and learn all about nature and our connection to it. / woodlandclassroom It would also make us very happy!
Note: Always have the permission of the landowner if you want to forage and ensure you have a good wildflower ID guide (or two) with you so you can make a a positive and safe identification of the plant.

Interesting. Only came across your videos today and really want to go and forage some plants/herbs now. I'm tired of using everything from supermarket, would be nice to use what nature has given us, as well as get out in nature whilst doing so

[@WoodlandClassroom]

Hope you enjoy exploring your green spaces :-)
