I had bad bronchial influenza a few weeks ago. Not COVID i checked. My Lungs were so full of fluid I had to sit up to breathe. One hour after taking strong grape leaf tea from leaves plucked from the wild grape vine on my fence My Lungs started to empty. I took it every day for a week and slowly cleared my lungs. It was a miracle. It worked so fast. Its really something.
I love this idea, will definitely be doing this. Thank you for all the info but especially the grape leaf, I knew they made supplements out of the seed,but didn’t know about the leaves. I have I small muscadine vineyard and will now be using my leaves when needed. God bless and thank you.
I'm doing a blueberry hedgerow. I have a Berberi shrub that I planted about 6 or 7 years ago underneath my kitchen window. Is there a way to transplant that without killing it and can it grow next to my blueberries?
This was my fourth year gardening. I went from growing rows and rows of just tomatoes and peppers, to slowly shrinking all that down and adding more and more interesting varieties of plants. This year I experimented some with medicinal plants like vervain and yellow toothache plant among others. Now next year I already have probably close to 30 medicinal plants and flowers lined up and a whole new side yard garden dedicated to many of them. (and for pollinators :) When anyone asks I did an olympic style triple backflip swan dive into the rabbit hole. lol. I also started canning food and making my first ever tinctures this year!
I've started doing this!!! I signed up for the school and am slowly working my way through it. In the meantime, I took a shovel to my lawn and began transforming my backyard. It is slow going but each year I learn a little bit more. We have pine trees and dandelions and plantain naturally showing up in the yard and last year I found cleavers herb in my front shrubs. I've planted a variety of "kitchen medicine ", sage, rosemary, tarragon, basil, parsley, thyme. Some beebalm (which really works!) and echinacea. My favorite herb of all is probably lemon balm. It's growing profusely! (Mint family) It's a lovely tasting herb that helps with sleep and calming you down. Great treat for end of the day with a little bit of honey in it. If you have a chance to purchase the school package, don't hesitate! The knowledge is invaluable.
The Lord blessed me with realizing just HOW important His Farmacy is!! As I learned, I learned we've got LOADS of medicine right under our feet! A few years ago, to me, a tree was a tree... Now I've realized I have two Black Walnut trees in my back yard!! 🌱🙏💚
That’s both great❤ Here in Germany, I saw soly one black walnut tree my whole 50 years of age. I really was amazed that one tree could grow as huge as this did!!! Saw it in a botanical park in Ludwigsburg
Incredible Timing for us.. building a house & just began with landscaping layouts. Will ABSOLUTELY be integrating MORE into our entire property. THANK YOU SO MUCH for what You DO!! Trying to get a 3rd job so we can join your school & needed supplies associated with it. *** NEED some HEDGE Suggestions ***
This is a fabulous concept! In my opinion, my front yard is the prettiest on the whole street because it’s packed with pollinator plants and medicinal flowers. Everyone else has dogs, so their yards are fenced in grass.
Hey Doc Im enrolled in the school and have been making changes to our garden beds in the apartment complex. Less ivy, more medicinal. One step at a time. Thanks for the videos. Despite the many videos of your that I have watched and re watched, new videos rejuvenate and energize my desire to keep going on changing things to make a difference! Thank you so much for your friendly and ever so positive enjoyable videos ❤🎉
FWIW, I've been an herbalist for a very long time. I've taken lessons from well known people. You are by far, better than anyone I've listened too. You are thorough, that's probably the best thing. You teach about common things and things many of us either didn't know, or forgot. Now that I'm in zone 7, instead of 12 (Phoenix) I'm trying to grow a medicinal yard again. Had zero knowledge of the Japanese honeysuckle that is invasive in Virginia. Thank you!
Wonderful! I have been growing an herbal farmacy for years (in Boise). This garden/wild habitat is also a bee sanctuary. So every plant that goes into this landscape is medicinal and a pollinator plant.
This is what I've been trying to do in my front garden. I still have cosmo, daisies, daylilies...but almost all of the herbs I have planted also have beautiful flowers. I keep adding more. It's a little like a jungle now!
This was a great introductory lesson! I am definitely going to look into planting more medicinal plants and herbs as I continue to expand and improve my yard. I have used several of your powders and tinctures for myself and my animals with great success. I also purchased your book. Thank you for providing such great content and helping viewers improve their health naturally. I first learned of your channel and products from Josh and Carolyns channel and have followed you since. Love your videos and witty humor. Thank you Doc Jones for sharing your work and knowledge with those who have ears to listen.
Just started reading your books and have purchased your entire course (reading the books first). This video confirms that I made the right choice. We start building our home on our 10 acres next month, and we have no desire for grass. We want our entire "landscaping" in the front to be an herbal garden and the back will be a large vegetable garden. We also plan to plant several medicinal shrubs. I'm so excited!
I love this! I built a house and am establishing my garden. Next, I'll focus on my landscape. I've been learning about edible and medicinal plants, so this is right up my alley! I had no idea some of the ones you mentioned were medicinal like California Poppy. Thanks!
We have been working our way toward this with our home/farm. My husband just asked how he could give me the gift of Homegrown Herbalist School for my birthday next month!! I can't wait 🎉
I started taking the pine pollen after age 40 and let me tell you, it was noticible. The problem would be harvesting the pollen from these huge trees. Im interested in any smaller easily worked pines i can harvest from. Love your work, Dr. and appreciate your videos.
I have a food and herb forest for a yard. I only kept the front portion and side pieces for the dog. The rest is all edible and it is surely the way to go! I have signed up for the school .
I'm working on landscaping with medicinals. We planted rose, hawthorn, sumac, elderberry, sassafras, Oregon grape, and peach this year. We already have Concord grape, black walnut, various berries, wild cherry, spirea, hops, and Virburnum opulus growing on our place. I am all for using medicinals/edibles as landscaping! Our family is rarely ill, but when we do face illness, etc. we reach for homegrown or wild foraged medicines first...with great success. My daughter recently had some type of respiratory bug and we knocked it out with raw garlic, onion/mustard poultice, extra rest and plenty of fluids.
This is wonderful! I am always adding new plants to the landscaping so it is good to be able to make a list and be ready to plan for their installation and medicinal use. Thank you Dr Jones!!!
I use Strictly Medicinals and a few other sources for seeds & plants for my food forest/medicinal yard. I also went through the books: Herbal Antivirals & Herbal Antibiotics to choose plants.
I bought my childhood home. The lawn is not the same since I found your channel years ago. I mow a much smaller area to “look nice”. The rest is growing herbs for healing. Thank you so much! ❤
Not sure why RUclips hasn't shown you to me before now, but I'm thankful to finally be in your audience! It was fun listening to you rattle off all of your knowledge, thank you for sharing with all of us. I hope to plant many of these in my yard soon, and to watch more of your videos. Peace and love!
Well said Doc.Jones .We need to plant more of these medicinal herbs and trees ,which I do here in Scotland and to share..I love your videos and wealth of information.Thank you from Scotland.
When people say "we'll I'm getting out the bush hog and the weed whacker. Gonna cut down a bunch of overgrown weeds. I wanna tell them "let me have a chance at those weeds first". I need to meet forgets and create a group to save medicinal from yard enthusiasts.
Virtually everything in Oregon is edible or medicinal so I let my yard do it's thing. Hubby likes a few paths so I use those little flags to mark off areas. Our entire yard changes through grape hyacinth, California poppy, daisies, dandelions, cats ear, bitter cress, clover, purple dead nettle, sheep sorrel, Queen Anne's lace, curly dock, wild lettuce, plantain and much more. I dehydrate or tincture everything.
I have been dabbling for years. Classes here, there, School of Traditional Skills, Doc Jones, etc. My grandparents were their own doctors. Everyone in my neighborhood when I was growing up picked food from the yard, woods, and fields but we didn't call it foraging. Every book and class I take shows me that every plant or bush my mom had in our yard was medicinal. I wish she had shared her knowledge. I'm reinventing the wheel.
Good video! I have been planting these types of plants in combination with other flowers and such throughout the property for years now. It is really a mystery to me why more folks don't incorporate them.
You told us to watch out for hybrids e.g. Black Eyed Susan’s. Will rose hips be ok if they’re from knock out roses? If not, what rose can I buy to harvest rose hips? The same for Bergamot, can it be any purple one?
We started changing our landscaping about 5 years ago to go from "pretties" to medicinal. It's been very gratifying. We are also looking at buying 7 acres behind us that has been an apple orchard for years. Been trying to learn as much as I can about permaculture and how to structure the space. It's a wee bit intimidating. So much to learn! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
If I were your neighbor I wouldn't hate you, I'd be asking to trade plants, seeds and cuttings with you ☺! My snobby nosey 👃👀neighbor on the next block {not even nearby} complained to our councilman about our very neat and tidy wood mulch pile, and compost pile which we had been delivered to our house. The piles sat on the side of our driveway for a couple of months as I was steadily distributing mulch/compost around my otherwise beautiful looking yard because of beautiful veg herb garden, fruit trees, bushes. Dream to move away to a rural location with acreage....
Thank you Dr. Jones! I‘m learning more and more about medicinal plants and was happy to find out that there‘s more medicinals growing in our garden already than I thought. I really don’t know everything and can’t do the school in the moment, but I‘ve gained so much by your video lessons. Also your jokes are so funny. Therefore a big thank you to you and your team for making all this happen 💎💪🏼
Great video. And I learned that some of the medicinal plants at the nursery may actually be cultivar varieties that may not hold the same properties as their og parents. Thank you for the lesson. Love your videos.
I am trying to go that way, but being in Alaska limits it a lot. And the stuff that only grows annually doesn’t get a chance to grow with our very short growing season. And the last two years we didn’t really have a summer. 😢
I like it too and the tea is really delicious. When it grew too big in my front yard I would try to relocate some into the backyard if you can. It‘s a plant with so few demands, I‘d really give it a try.
I started doing this very thing, this year. It has been a strange summer, so nothing really thrived. I have big plans for next spring, though! Thank you, for sharing the pictures, and the information! You're awesome!
Just beautiful pics of your herb scaping! I think the challenge with herb scaping is their tendency to die back after each season, then the beautifully scaped garden disappears. I think I would keep some of my favored evergreen ornamentals, strategically placed, as the framework and bones of the scape, then fill in with all of the beautiful, medicinal seasonals.
Yes things could be different plant breeders also say edibility can be different too... Like new daylilies of different colours I seen a beautiful firey red cone flowers very new to the garden scene I've never seen them b4
@@wildedibles819 Yup. Most of our produce used ti have medicinal properties too but they bred it all to taste better. Now it’s less medicinal and less nutritious.
I have just started my journey to planting my yard with a bunch of medicinal plants. I would also like most to be perennials so they will come back, and I won't have to replant each year. Any suggestions? Do most medicinals come back each year? Thanks Doc!😊❤🌺
Doc Jones, You have changed my life! All for the better and I am so grateful for you! Am I am working on changing over my yard from useless plants to food and medicinals. It's a journey of a thousand miles started simply by identifying the weeds that so love this piece of earth! Every year I add more and more and eventually...as I grow mostly from seed...the yard will be beautiful...it certainly ain't there yet! Thanks for all you do, Sue
Thanks Dr. Jones. This came at a perfect time. I already have 20+ medicinal plants and I've been working to grow more. Strictly Medicinal seeds is a great website to get the seeds and plants. The unfortunate thing is my yard is not big enough for all I would like to grow. I have made a habit the last couple of years to identify where other medicinal plants and trees are growing in my neighborhood or on walks. With permission, I have harvested some items to tincture for future use. My neighbors have actually been delighted to learn a bit more about their plants, and happy to share. I love, love, love your school (best money I've ever spent) and I'm so excited to find out you actually have a more in depth class on herbscaping. Just wish I had more time. Thanks again to you and your whole team for all you do.
This is really lighting a fire under me. When I had COVID, I didn't get a very bad respiratory situation. But I did have what I now realized was a cytokine storm response. I was so sick for 3 weeks. And I just thought I wanted to die my skin was in such pain. My Doctor would not allow me to come into the office. And the emergency rooms told me only come in if I couldn't breathe. If only I had known about grape leaves. I have Muskadine grapes growing all along my back fence!
Really enjoyed this video. This is exactly what I’d like to do on our 1 acre homestead. Is the class you teach on this available to purchase separately from your school curriculum? Thanks
Tulip petals are edible. They're delicious in salads. Nasturtium (leaves and flowers) is delicious in salads. Violets and pansies are said to be edible, but I've never tried them.
Thank you, thank you I am so appreciative of you sharing your GOD given wisdom with us. I’m getting into a herb garden, thank you for changing the whole way of thinking and considering herbscaping. May you and your family be blessed . I truly mean that🙏🏼
We've been growing our own food for over 30 years. When I started learning about medicinal herbs a few years ago I was surprised at how many we had already growing. I picked up a lobelia a few days ago but I think I got the wrong one... it's purple, not the red. I should have checked. The purple seemed hardier chose it. Oops. 😢
Thank you doc! These are all plants I like and some used medicinally! We drank san john's wort tea for 20 years on empty stomach and mom and dad cure their colotis and gastritis with it. Plants are amazing! We used to drink linden tea with honey at night...lovely.
I would LOVE to take your full course, but, unfortunately, lack of finances hinders that. Do you offer this "herbscaping" video/ lesson in & of itself?
I had bad bronchial influenza a few weeks ago. Not COVID i checked. My Lungs were so full of fluid I had to sit up to breathe.

Can it be any type of grape vines that I happen to have? Or only a certain type?

@@HomeGrownHerbalisthow does one use the grape leaves? I have scuppernong and my sister near me has muscadine

Thank you, for sharing the pictures, and the information! You're awesome!
Thank you for this... greatly appreciated
Working on adding as many edible and medicinal plants as I can. Love the school Doc Jones! I recommend it to everyone. Great video!
Just beautiful pics of your herb scaping! I think the challenge with herb scaping is their tendency to die back after each season, then the beautifully scaped garden disappears. I think I would keep some of my favored evergreen ornamentals, strategically placed, as the framework and bones of the scape, then fill in with all of the beautiful, medicinal seasonals.
Yes things could be different plant breeders also say edibility can be different too... Like new daylilies of different colours
I seen a beautiful firey red cone flowers very new to the garden scene I've never seen them b4
@@wildedibles819 Yup. Most of our produce used ti have medicinal properties too but they bred it all to taste better. Now it’s less medicinal and less nutritious.
Did you write a book on the soils(how to get them) and this garden?
I have just started my journey to planting my yard with a bunch of medicinal plants. I would also like most to be perennials so they will come back, and I won't have to replant each year. Any suggestions? Do most medicinals come back each year? Thanks Doc!😊❤🌺
It's so good to see your vidio come up! Thank you😊
Doc Jones, You have changed my life! All for the better and I am so grateful for you! Am I am working on changing over my yard from useless plants to food and medicinals. It's a journey of a thousand miles started simply by identifying the weeds that so love this piece of earth! Every year I add more and more and eventually...as I grow mostly from seed...the yard will be beautiful...it certainly ain't there yet! Thanks for all you do, Sue
Thanks Doc, another great video!!
@@pittysbad glad you enjoyed it
This is awesome!!!!!❤
Thank you.
Thank you! This was so helpful. 🙂
Brilliant, how do you keep the deers out though?
Is Sweet Caroline medicinal? If not I would like to remove the large one growing next to my house and put something useful there.
Thanks Dr. Jones. This came at a perfect time. I already have 20+ medicinal plants and I've been working to grow more. Strictly Medicinal seeds is a great website to get the seeds and plants. The unfortunate thing is my yard is not big enough for all I would like to grow. I have made a habit the last couple of years to identify where other medicinal plants and trees are growing in my neighborhood or on walks. With permission, I have harvested some items to tincture for future use. My neighbors have actually been delighted to learn a bit more about their plants, and happy to share. I love, love, love your school (best money I've ever spent) and I'm so excited to find out you actually have a more in depth class on herbscaping. Just wish I had more time. Thanks again to you and your whole team for all you do.
This is really lighting a fire under me. When I had COVID, I didn't get a very bad respiratory situation. But I did have what I now realized was a cytokine storm response. I was so sick for 3 weeks. And I just thought I wanted to die my skin was in such pain. My Doctor would not allow me to come into the office. And the emergency rooms told me only come in if I couldn't breathe. If only I had known about grape leaves. I have Muskadine grapes growing all along my back fence!
Was taking notes halfway through till I saw your program lol. Appreciate it!!
Really enjoyed this video. This is exactly what I’d like to do on our 1 acre homestead. Is the class you teach on this available to purchase separately from your school curriculum? Thanks
Tulip petals are edible. They're delicious in salads. Nasturtium (leaves and flowers) is delicious in salads. Violets and pansies are said to be edible, but I've never tried them.
Thank you, thank you I am so appreciative of you sharing your GOD given wisdom with us. I’m getting into a herb garden, thank you for changing the whole way of thinking and considering herbscaping. May you and your family be blessed . I truly mean that🙏🏼
Great video. Thank you so much. I shared it with family and friends. I've been adding more and more to my landscape. 😊
We've been growing our own food for over 30 years. When I started learning about medicinal herbs a few years ago I was surprised at how many we had already growing. I picked up a lobelia a few days ago but I think I got the wrong one... it's purple, not the red. I should have checked. The purple seemed hardier chose it. Oops.
😢
Thanks for the ideas! I can finish my garden with pretty plant and medicinal plant!😊❤
❤ Love your videos! ❤ So much info, but where can I buy these plants? 🤔
@@jo9364 companionplants.com, strictlymedicinalseeds.com, survivalseeds.com are good
@@HomeGrownHerbalist Thank you! I've checked out the websites. Amazing! I would never have found 'em on my own. 😊
Good afternoon Doc!!!
Thank you, I now have a medicinal garden, large vegetables garden and flowers I plant my herbs in my flower garden also 🤣👍♥️🙏🏻❤️
Wonderfully encouraging
Great information as always Dr. Jones. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you doc! These are all plants I like and some used medicinally! We drank san john's wort tea for 20 years on empty stomach and mom and dad cure their colotis and gastritis with it.
Plants are amazing! We used to drink linden tea with honey at night...lovely.
The second i find a plant is poison it is pulled up and thrown away. Replaced by a non poisonous plant.
Hey Sir🎉sure missed you and your antidotes-glad to be back😊
Fantastic video! I'm so glad you made this. I'm definitely reworking my landscape plan immediately. ❤
Thank you for the content you put out! Our family uses your advice and we appreciate all you do!
I would LOVE to take your full course, but, unfortunately, lack of finances hinders that. Do you offer this "herbscaping" video/ lesson in & of itself?
Love this!
Thank you!!!!😊
