I used to eat 7 Tulsi leaves every day when I was in India and I never had any cough, cold or sinus issues. But since started my life abroad things started going wrong. We had tulsi plant everywhere back home. I think I will follow you and get some when I go home. Tulsi, Muringa, Turmeric and guava leaves all were part of our life. Let us heal and have a peaceful life.
Prior to my wanting to learn how to make my own herbal remedies and at the very beginning of my journey into learning about canning and dehydrating we lived in a very large home that we were hired to home-sit for two years in Colorado. In the backyard, there was a very long stand of Juniper pine trees, probably about twelve of them and they would be very full of these Juniper berries. If I had only known back then what I know today, I would have been in heaven. I used to help the little Chickadee birds set up their winter homes in those trees every year by leaving them dry grass, tiny twigs, and lint from our dryer which they would always take to fortify their winter homes in those trees for the really hard winters that we would have in Colorado. I really love birds, especially after a Robin made a nest and hatched her babies in a Christmas tree we had put out after the holidays in our backyard. I miss living in Colorado, so much to experience there. Sorry for the long chat, but you brought back some memories with your mention of Juniper berries. Thank you so much for this very informative video, I am learning so much from your videos and I am so grateful to you. May God always Bless you with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_09.09.2023~
Not only 'just' honey......but one MUST keep MANUKA honey! My Manuka honey is saved for MEDICINAL purposes ONLY! I do NOT use my Manuka for making foods/drinks.
I recently joined Rosemary Gladstar's herbalism course. I can't believe how much information the course provides for under $500.00. I was looking at other courses for thousands, and I can't afford that. I can't say enough about this course. It's clear that she is not only very knowledgeable but also someone who is passionate about the info she shares. I highly recommend the course.
Hello, I am really interested in learning how to become an herbalist. I would really love on how to apply for this course and if there is a link to it?
A prayer answered! Best video I've come across so far to gently encourage more people towards God's medicine for the days to come. Prayers of thanksgiving and strength for you sweet Mary!
Mary, I just want to start by saying a big thank you for everything that you are doing. I'm learning so much from you, and it's helping me and my family a lot, and I'm forever grateful to you💞💞 I'm slowly making my way to a traditional pantry but I've got a long ways to go but I'm enjoying the process no matter how long it takes me. Thanks again for everything that you do. Take care and God Bless 💞💞
Moringa Oleifara has changed my life! I had arthritis and degenerative bone disease so bad I could barley walk when I got up. I started taking moringa and I feel twenty years younger!
Mary, I find that more and more I am moving towards true, sensibly established home makers that share skills and skill sets with their "followers". Now, whilst I would never classify myself as a "follower", in this case I am more than willing to become a student of life skills with a top grade teacher. I hope you realize that many of us have come to count on you passing on this invaluable knowledge. At 70, I still have a dearth of great learning and am happy to fill that void with well gotten information. Blessings to you and yours, Yee Haw to my Fellow Texans. Watch and learn grasshoppers.
Hi Koni, I know exactly how you feel! I am the same way at 65. I am learning something new everyday and love to follow other YT homemakers who have such a wealth of skill sets to share! So happy we are on this journey together. Love, Mary
Mary, thank you for all the work you do for us. And an extra thank you for keeping all these extra charts and lists free for us to download. They are very helpful. You're amazing and an inspiration for us. Thank you!
Do you give in person presentations here in Texas? Your videos and Knowledge is just incredible. I love watching, learning and trying out all the ideas. It would be great to see . Keep up the good work.
Oh Cat! Thank you so much for the kind words. I used to teach right here in my kitchen but have retired from that and try to share all my "lessons" here on RUclips. Love, Mary
I’m so glad to hear that you escaped the power outage, Mary! And we were so relieved when ours came back on! Thanks for all the food and pantry and prepping help! 💕
Ms Mary what natural bug sprays do you use to keep bugs off of your herbs when you’re growing them in the house or outside I tried growing some herbs, but the bugs eat them up as soon as they came up out of the ground, and I had them in my kitchen window
Hi Ida! Oh no!! Are you growing basil or mint along with your other herbs? They are natural bug repellents. If no, try doing that OR steep some basil and/or mint in simmering water for about 10 minutes, then use as a natural bug repellant spray. Good luck! Keep me posted. Love, Mary
Me too. I have a terrible problem with pests, and they attack most of the herbs outdoors - I guess it's just more difficult where I live. PS, Homeopathy is wonderful, and I have been gradually expanding my supplies for some time. I also use Homeopathy to treat some plants, including as a bug repellant/ deterrent, and I much prefer using this. It works wonderfully against snails etc, but I have not yet found the best Homeopathy choice for some of the bugs I have.
Regarding the emergency pantry: Boka Saul rice is a type of rice that can be prepared by soaking it in water without cooking. May be useful when trying to conserve fuel/heating resources. If possible, do you mind considering a review of this product as it pertains to traveling, preparedness, and overall nutrition? I believe it may also be called Komal Saul rice. Thank you ☀️
I keep a sedum plant to use for antibacterial uses. It's great for cuts, bites, itchy skin. Is also edible but it has to be a certain variety. I grow the autumn joy sedum. Do some research and find out about this amazing plant. I also grow moringa. It has so many nutrients our bodies need including protein which is going to be getting harder to find unless you like the taste of bugs...yuck!
Hey Mary great video. We grow a lot of herbs and drink teas all summer and winter. I suffer from allergies too but I find for myself herbs actually help me and I dont have to take antihistamines as much. I cant wait until gardening season here its still winter here in Canada.
Hi sweet Mary. Can you share a 'list' of each of your inventories, herbs, spices, supplies than you find helpful? I was hoping that it would have been part of this video. Or maybe I missed the link. Take care and thank you for being part of my senior journey growing old gracefully and healthy. Seventy-four and still enjoying learning.
Definitely - I share the herbs that I think are most important to have on hand here: ruclips.net/video/DZRIzGMr4jE/видео.html and here: ruclips.net/video/tmxUUMKd6nA/видео.html As to my supplies, I share with you what I like and stock toward the end of the video - around the 53:28 chapter timestamp. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
I like your message, but I can't keep up with the original post. You ramble from one subject to another. You start off with 10 things to stock in your pantry, then go on to 10 other products, then go down a rabbit hole of about a recipe using a product that reminds you of a holiday in your childhood, I can't follow your great thoughts and information. Blessings to you, but I can't follow your message.
Thanks for all the information . I have celiac and also dairy allergies so it is very hard to find over the counter medication that I can have. I am very self sufficient with a large garden so I should be able to grow my own herbs.
There is so much amazing information in your videos! I'm glad you have your playlists of videos because my brain cannot retain it all and being able to rewatch and look at your lists makes it all so much less stressful! Thank you for all you share. God bless you and your family. 💕🙏
Mary I just LOVE these videos sitting by the fire, sharing a cup of tea with you. All of this knowledge is so helpful!! A huge thank you from Columbus, OH! ❤
I'm also so thankful for my parents! I think the idea of being prepared may have started because we live in Florida and hurricanes come around yearly, but then the real food and herbal medicine was brought in too and that was all just thanks to my smart think-outside-the-box mamma 😋 I'm working to stock up some medicinal herbs for my little family now, thank you for sharing this video with us! Would love to know which herb(s) you recommend begining with?
Great question! January and February here in Central Texas can be SO unpredictable. When I filmed this video it was 20F outside. So the fireplace was very warming. And when we lose power in the winter, it's a godsend! Love, Mary
I read somewhere that if buying dried herbs & spices to try & get them from Indian or other ethnic supermarkets as they are usually a better quality, more aromatic, more flavour, fresher, cheaper, a bigger variety & in larger quantities than your average supermarket dried herbs & spices.
Hi sweet Mary, I am a blind viewer of your channel. I love listening to your voice. I love cooking and gardening, but I do the best I can with my situation. I’m so thankful you mentioned the herbal teas by Organic India, because I neither have the accommodation or now the time I think to prepare what you suggest. I keep the basics such as manuka honey, olive leaf extract and oregano oil. If you can put a link to your 10 most important herbs video in your reply to me I would like to watch that. Perhaps you mention a company where I can get those herbs. Thank you so much for all you do, you are God’s gift to people at this time. BTW, Jesus is coming very soon, first for those who have put their trust in Him and then to judge the whole world. I really hope I will see you in heaven, dear sweet Mary.
Hi Grace, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am so happy that we are on this traditional foods journey together! Here is the link to the 10 best herbs: ruclips.net/video/DZRIzGMr4jE/видео.html and here are 5 more: ruclips.net/video/tmxUUMKd6nA/видео.html Yes, let's hope that one day we will see each other in Heaven. And something tells me that we will be fast friends! Love, Mary
Do you put your printouts in plastic sleeves or just 3-hole punch and put in binder? I worry over time they will get ruined if if don’t put in sleeves but sleeves are thicker and can get more expensive-but I think that’s the way I’ll go. Thoughts?
Thank you, Mary! This community certainly loves you back! I hope you feel that. Quick note for any Spanish speakers or anyone who has neighbors who are more comfortable speaking Spanish than English: There is a great resource called Donde No Hay Doctor ("Where there is no doctor"), which covers basic first aid and other home remedies. It was written originally for rural areas where there literally was no doctor. It might be a helpful resource.
Hi Mary, I haven't yet looked at your list, but I wanted to say an important one that I use is oil of oregano. I'm not sure if you can make your own "hot" oil, but it has treated and cured so, so many issues. It's a hot oil, so you're supposed to cut it with a carrier oil, but I've used it pure on my toenails to cure nail fungus, ear infections and sore throats. Works on viruses, and both gram + and gram - bacteria! Gotta try it.
Love this thank you Mary. I have some things growing in my yard. And I just ordered some new items, calendula, more Nettles, Self-heal...Now I'll read your list and see what else I need to get.
Hi Mary, I’m really enjoying your videos. The Herbal pantry hooked me. I have been in holistic healing since 1971. At 70, my patio garden is set up. I have a panty full of herbs and spices. My weakness is organization. When you surfaced on You Tube, I am ready to organize my kitchen and seed box. Thank you so much for being out there with your calm soothing voice and experience. ❤Gay
We love you Mary! You are just so precious and the sweetest and most giving person we know. God bless you, your family, and your business in fathomless measure.
I see the beauty in everything around me. I developed or am developing a close relationship with the plant life that grows naturally all around me. I have learned to make wonderful plant-ally medicines from learning my plants a d what each can and does do. I thank Spirit for always guiding me and allowing the healing and nurturing to flow thru me and around so I am able to pass on what I discover to every divine soul around me. Namaste. ❤
Hi Alena, It's in the description and the pinned comment under the video, but here it is too: marysnest.com/how-to-stock-your-healing-pantry-and-create-an-herbal-medicine-cabinet/ Love, Mary
I share the herbs that I think are most important to have on hand here: ruclips.net/video/DZRIzGMr4jE/видео.html and here: ruclips.net/video/tmxUUMKd6nA/видео.html Love, Mary
Hi Mary, my question is this … to make tinctures what alcohol can I not use? I don’t drink However my sister gave me the following (upgraded her bar supplies). Sambuca, apricot brandy, tequila, gran mariner and rum. Thank you so much for your channel. Grace
That's a great question. I'm not 100% familiar with some of the liquors you mentioned but I think when making tinctures with alcohol it's best to use ones that are 80 to 100 "proof" but I hope others here will chime in to answer your question. Love, Mary
Great information, Mary. We are growing a wider range of herbs this year. This printable list will help us plan what to grow more of. Hope you have a blessed and warm weekend.
I have those books and love them! I use them on a regular basis I keep them on the counter. I think Kami’s book offers something very unique when it comes to herbal recipe books. It has filled a gap for me on my journey. Thank you for the print out I can’t wait to look over the other videos you mention. I’ve been on this journey for five years and all your advice is spot on, just do little by little and it will keep building! Ps. Love the fire in the back and your sacred heart image!
I just want to say I appreciate how much knowledge you share about traditional medicine, as well as food, and that you also talk about seeing and advising with healthcare professionals and about integrative medicine because that's such an amazing yet nuanced position and field of study and medicine that's very underrated and rare, in my opinion. Many people i come across are either completely against natural healing and will only trust the most trendy tech and drugs in modern medicine or will only trust herbal remedies and never even take their children to a doctor or hospital. So seeing such a balanced view promoted just makes my heart sing. I love studying plant medicine and pharmacognacy, as well as neuroscience, psychology, nutrition science, pharmacology, and general biology. It's my dream to combine these fields of study into my own integrative mental health practice.
Weeds are wonderful! I live on one acre in the pnw and I'm amazed every year, at how many native and naturalized "weeds" I have that are medicinal and/or useful in other ways. I just recently made a natural flea and tick spray with some billiard and mint i have right outside. I grow the mint, the billiard grows here on its own.
I kindly recommend emphasizing the importance of labeling your blends. Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Directions/Dosage. After all the efforts, research, and good intention involved it would be a unfortunate to negatively impact a loved one who should be taking an alternative herb simply because someone forgot in the heat of the moment. It would also be sad if someone were to take herbs or make a blend of herbs that had negative interactions when mixed or negatively impact someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. Thank you, Mary! Excellent video as always. ☀️
Love Mary! Her voice is so soothing. I am a family medicine resident and am completing the integrative medicine course by Dr. Weil. My practice is taking off this year/next and I use integrative medicine every day! Mary is such a wonderful resource.
For all respiratory issues lobelia tincture, has been used for Bronchitis, phuemonia, and Asthma for sure kept in my apothecary. Willow bark, now many want white willow bark but all willow have the properties needed for make willow garlic oil which I have used on my kids, grandkids, cats, dogs ,hamsters, guinea pigs name it for ear infections. The garlic kills the bacteria and the willow takes the pain out bang now unlike Mullen. I collect the sap buds of the cotton wood tree any sticky sap buds will make nice creams lotions and healing salves. Cotton wood belongs to the willow family and has many of the same properties and more. Chuga mushroom dried and stores for daily tea and is a must it heals on a cellular level.
I’m in Tampa Florida, and at Walmart they have 106oz glass jars with the clamp style lids for $6 I just bought some so they should still be about the same price. Just for anyone who may be looking for some near Tampa. Also saw some at target for $6 but they were about 1/2 the size as the ones at Walmart. Dollar tree sometimes has small ones about a pint size for $1.25 just trying to help anyone searching for low price jars with clamp lids.
Hi Mrs. Mary! I came across your channel looking for a homemade sauerkraut recipe and I came across yours😊. You are a very knowledgeable and sweet person. This video made me a subbie because I think I can learn a lot here! God Bless!
This info is long lost to me. I had an amazing herbal medicine book that i lost when my home burned down a few years back, and i havent been able to replace it, as it went out of print. It had photos of every medicinal plant, weed, and herb, as well as simple, clear directions on drying and preparing into teas, salves, and capsules. I miss that book. The salves i made worked better than what you can buy
Mary, do you know anything about soursop bitters? I read that there are many benefits, but there are cautions to consider when using this herbal remedy. If you are familiar with it, it would probably take a whole show to talk about it. I’ve been reading about it and really want to try it with caution. One bit of information that I have not found is how long you can safely use it before you need to take a break. The benefits seem so worth it, but there are some toxicities to take into account. If you know anything about this remedy, I would love to know what you think about it. Thank you.💛
Hi Joyce, yes - just terrible - we lost so many trees but luckily we kept power this time. But the good news is that we are all safe and sound! Love, Mary
Thank you Mary! This list will be very helpful to me! Right now my cabinet is all willy nilly....ha ha. I grow some herbs now, mint, lemon balm, oregano, that I dry and use for teas and I can't wait to get started on all of these. Thanks so much. I just love your channel. God Bless You!
In areas where it's legal, consider storing CBD oil. It's made from hemp. It doesn't get you high, contains little if any THC. THC is what makes you high. CDB has fantastic pain relieving properties.
I believe GOD gives us what we need. And Believing that I encourage people to Identify all the "Weeds" in their yard and look up the benefits before the decide grass is best. We do not always know what we need 😉
You are so sweet and encouraging. You have helped me so much over the past few years. You make getting back to basics very simple. This is so necessary these days. Young people think it's hard but it doesn't have to be. They just need a guide...and permission to do it their own way. Thanks for the free downloads. I've made a notebook 🥰
A mix of Blue Vervain and lavender is also good for relaxing and falling asleep. I realize some people it won't work for, and some people might be allergic, but I do want to put it out there for people who can use it safely. I never had any problems with those herbs, and I have asthma, so I do consider it safe for most people. Still, start with a tiny amount made into a tea, maybe dilute with water and add honey or other sweetener. You can always add more later, but you can't add less if you are dead.
@@evegreenification Well, yea, you are tech true, I won't argue that. But you are leading people to think all herbal remedies are harmful. I do have trouble with that. Not all of them I have read are great or even good, but Mary does her work, she is safe. Adding a little sage if you aren't allergic, adding a little mint if you aren't allergic, these are commonly added to otc meds, just not always in therapeutic levels. It can't fix every thing, but what it can fix I am SOOOO grateful for! Thank you, Mary! and your friends who taught you!
@@shadodragonette I was literally quoting your own words, hon. I thought your phrasing was funny and I haven't said one dang word about herbal remedies, which I use myself all the time. You know what I would love for a change? If people would give me back 1 measly percent of the smiles I send out there 🙄
@@evegreenification It's all in context "hon". I don't look for smiles, replies, or other, I am fine with being ignored. I prefer being ignored over being taken out of context. Good luck to you, and may you never ever ever read anything I type ever again.
I generally recommend growing what you can. For purchasing, try to find local shops in your area that may sell dried herbs. They will most likely be the freshest. You can also look online for small reputable retailers. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest thankyou so much for responding. Thats the plan eventually. We need to learn our new climate and how to work with it. We just moved to ND and have been hit hard with respitory sickness. I've got some herbs on hand that I had bought from a reputable place but the prices have sky rocketed. Looking for a new distributor for some of the essentials I don't currently have.
Hey, Mary, I have learned so much from you. I make bone broth about every other month, more if I can find bone-in meats. I have my freezer bag of scraps, I have a couple people who keep bones and scraps for me, and I share the bone broth with them. My bone-broths are usually a mix of chicken and whatever other bone-in meat I can find, because everything seems to be boneless these days. I did buy beef bones I found in one store for my last batch, which was mixed with chicken bones, but turned out very very good. Finding beef or pork bones locally is getting harder and harder. I guess people don't realize that's half where the flavor is, and the other half is the fat? I swear, the pork chops I buy lately taste of water and whatever seasoning I put on them, they don't taste like anything else. I used to hate pork steaks because they were too strong, but now they barely taste of anything. It's not even that long ago that food tasted like food, not just flavors added...
I love herbs and want to grow more. I have already gotten my seeds. I love "Juck Stores" - someone's junk is someone else's treasure. I have been collecting the flip top bottles - clear and dark. I even had a jar that got a crack in it and found another just like it at a thrift store except the rubber gasket was missing, so switched the lids - perfect solution and kept the cost down. One year at an auction, I got a coffee grounder for free. It has been perfect for making spices. I like to get certain spices in whole seeds and ground when needed. I love your videos and all the information you give out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I have some of Rosemary Gladstars books and have followed her for years and love what she shares. If you follow 1 person I'd suggest her she's a very knowledgeable person in herbs.
I have used a small spice can (like your basic ground black pepper can) of cinnamon from the 1970s, and 50 years later it's still flavorfull. Cinnamon stores well.
I wanted to know on the episode that you had when you were talking about regrowing kitchen scraps, I wanted to know if i put my lettuce, green onions, scallions in a jar to grow them again can i keep them in the refrigerator instead of leaving them out? i have a problem with flies and tiny bugs in my house and I don't want them to eat the scraps.
Hi Christine, That is a great question. I have not tried it but I think it may work. You can also make a natural indoor bug repellant by simmering some basil and/or mint in water on the stovetop for about 10 minutes. Stain the mixture, allow it to cool and use it as a bug spray on your veggies that you are trying to grow. Love, Mary

Thanks SO much for watching!
Love and God Bless, Mary
I used to eat 7 Tulsi leaves every day when I was in India and I never had any cough, cold or sinus issues. But since started my life abroad things started going wrong. We had tulsi plant everywhere back home. I think I will follow you and get some when I go home. Tulsi, Muringa, Turmeric and guava leaves all were part of our life. Let us heal and have a peaceful life.
Fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!! Love, Mary
I just ordered some Tulsi seeds from MIGardener. Thanks for the tip about chewing the leaves.
Minoj hope you got your tulsi! I drink it all the time!😊
Prior to my wanting to learn how to make my own herbal remedies and at the very beginning of my journey into learning about canning and dehydrating we lived in a very large home that we were hired to home-sit for two years in Colorado. In the backyard, there was a very long stand of Juniper pine trees, probably about twelve of them and they would be very full of these Juniper berries. If I had only known back then what I know today, I would have been in heaven. I used to help the little Chickadee birds set up their winter homes in those trees every year by leaving them dry grass, tiny twigs, and lint from our dryer which they would always take to fortify their winter homes in those trees for the really hard winters that we would have in Colorado. I really love birds, especially after a Robin made a nest and hatched her babies in a Christmas tree we had put out after the holidays in our backyard. I miss living in Colorado, so much to experience there. Sorry for the long chat, but you brought back some memories with your mention of Juniper berries. Thank you so much for this very informative video, I am learning so much from your videos and I am so grateful to you. May God always Bless you with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_09.09.2023~
Mary you ROCK!!! This is soooooooooooo helpful!! Thank you for your gift!!!
AMEN
Not only 'just' honey......but one MUST keep MANUKA honey! My Manuka honey is saved for MEDICINAL purposes ONLY! I do NOT use my Manuka for making foods/drinks.
Great tip! Yes, Manuka honey is amazing!! Love, Mary
Manuka is magical and has worked for strep throat, boils, skin infections and is a miracle ointment.
I'm so glad you mentioned this!! I just ordered some yesterday and am so excited to get it!!
I'm very new to all this stuff, and I've never heard of Manuka honey. Where's the best place to buy that?
Ordinary honey does good to any skin probs me I put honey if my first or fingers get irritated,insect bites,
Never mind, sweet Friends. I figured it out. Thank you.
Nice sharing dear 🫶
I recently joined Rosemary Gladstar's herbalism course. I can't believe how much information the course provides for under $500.00. I was looking at other courses for thousands, and I can't afford that. I can't say enough about this course. It's clear that she is not only very knowledgeable but also someone who is passionate about the info she shares. I highly recommend the course.
Hello, I am interested in learning herbalism, I would really love to know how to sign up for this course and if there is a link by chance to it?
Hello, I am really interested in learning how to become an herbalist. I would really love on how to apply for this course and if there is a link to it?
A prayer answered! Best video I've come across so far to gently encourage more people towards God's medicine for the days to come. Prayers of thanksgiving and strength for you sweet Mary!
Mary, I just want to start by saying a big thank you for everything that you are doing. I'm learning so much from you, and it's helping me and my family a lot, and I'm forever grateful to you💞💞 I'm slowly making my way to a traditional pantry but I've got a long ways to go but I'm enjoying the process no matter how long it takes me. Thanks again for everything that you do. Take care and God Bless 💞💞
Thank YOU for being here!! Love, Mary
Moringa Oleifara has changed my life! I had arthritis and degenerative bone disease so bad I could barley walk when I got up. I started taking moringa and I feel twenty years younger!
Mary, I find that more and more I am moving towards true, sensibly established home makers that share skills and skill sets with their "followers". Now, whilst I would never classify myself as a "follower", in this case I am more than willing to become a student of life skills with a top grade teacher. I hope you realize that many of us have come to count on you passing on this invaluable knowledge. At 70, I still have a dearth of great learning and am happy to fill that void with well gotten information. Blessings to you and yours, Yee Haw to my Fellow Texans. Watch and learn grasshoppers.
Hi Koni, I know exactly how you feel! I am the same way at 65. I am learning something new everyday and love to follow other YT homemakers who have such a wealth of skill sets to share! So happy we are on this journey together. Love, Mary
Mary, thank you for all the work you do for us. And an extra thank you for keeping all these extra charts and lists free for us to download. They are very helpful. You're amazing and an inspiration for us. Thank you!
Hi Myriam, Thank you so much for all the kind words! Love, Mary
Perhaps we should look into adding American elderberry to this wonderful list.
Perfect!
Do you give in person presentations here in Texas?
Your videos and Knowledge is just incredible.
I love watching, learning and trying out all the ideas.
It would be great to see .
Keep up the good work.
Oh Cat! Thank you so much for the kind words. I used to teach right here in my kitchen but have retired from that and try to share all my "lessons" here on RUclips. Love, Mary
Thanks, Mary! Did you lose power during the ice storm? I’m in Austin and we lost heat and electricity for 3 days! It was certainly cold!
Hi Susie, No - we were lucky this time! But many around us lost power. Glad yours has been restored! Yes, it can get very cold!! Love, Mary
I’m so glad to hear that you escaped the power outage, Mary! And we were so relieved when ours came back on! Thanks for all the food and pantry and prepping help! 💕
Ms Mary what natural bug sprays do you use to keep bugs off of your herbs when you’re growing them in the house or outside I tried growing some herbs, but the bugs eat them up as soon as they came up out of the ground, and I had them in my kitchen window
Hi Ida! Oh no!! Are you growing basil or mint along with your other herbs? They are natural bug repellents. If no, try doing that OR steep some basil and/or mint in simmering water for about 10 minutes, then use as a natural bug repellant spray. Good luck! Keep me posted. Love, Mary
What a great question
Thank you for the help. Ms Mary
Me too. I have a terrible problem with pests, and they attack most of the herbs outdoors - I guess it's just more difficult where I live. PS, Homeopathy is wonderful, and I have been gradually expanding my supplies for some time. I also use Homeopathy to treat some plants, including as a bug repellant/ deterrent, and I much prefer using this. It works wonderfully against snails etc, but I have not yet found the best Homeopathy choice for some of the bugs I have.
Regarding the emergency pantry:
Boka Saul rice is a type of rice that can be prepared by soaking it in water without cooking. May be useful when trying to conserve fuel/heating resources.
If possible, do you mind considering a review of this product as it pertains to traveling, preparedness, and overall nutrition? I believe it may also be called Komal Saul rice.
Thank you ☀️
I keep a sedum plant to use for antibacterial uses. It's great for cuts, bites, itchy skin. Is also edible but it has to be a certain variety. I grow the autumn joy sedum. Do some research and find out about this amazing plant. I also grow moringa. It has so many nutrients our bodies need including protein which is going to be getting harder to find unless you like the taste of bugs...yuck!
Hey Mary great video. We grow a lot of herbs and drink teas all summer and winter. I suffer from allergies too but I find for myself herbs actually help me and I dont have to take antihistamines as much. I cant wait until gardening season here its still winter here in Canada.
You might want look into growing herbs inside. Then when summer comes they have a good start. Also doing "sprouts" in a jar is a healthy practice.
Hi sweet Mary. Can you share a 'list' of each of your inventories, herbs, spices, supplies than you find helpful? I was hoping that it would have been part of this video. Or maybe I missed the link. Take care and thank you for being part of my senior journey growing old gracefully and healthy. Seventy-four and still enjoying learning.
Definitely - I share the herbs that I think are most important to have on hand here: ruclips.net/video/DZRIzGMr4jE/видео.html and here: ruclips.net/video/tmxUUMKd6nA/видео.html As to my supplies, I share with you what I like and stock toward the end of the video - around the 53:28 chapter timestamp. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
I like your message, but I can't keep up with the original post. You ramble from one subject to another. You start off with 10 things to stock in your pantry, then go on to 10 other products, then go down a rabbit hole of about a recipe using a product that reminds you of a holiday in your childhood, I can't follow your great thoughts and information. Blessings to you, but I can't follow your message.
Thanks for all the information . I have celiac and also dairy allergies so it is very hard to find over the counter medication that I can have. I am very self sufficient with a large garden so I should be able to grow my own herbs.
Hey Mary! Here with my guest Theresa who loves you! Happy to be having tea and watching this.
Oh Kaye...Love to you and Theresa!! Hope you are both doing great!! Love, Mary
Thanks for sharing. I have a few healing remedies from Healing Scents.
There is so much amazing information in your videos! I'm glad you have your playlists of videos because my brain cannot retain it all and being able to rewatch and look at your lists makes it all so much less stressful! Thank you for all you share. God bless you and your family. 💕🙏
Glad you like them!
Mary I just LOVE these videos sitting by the fire, sharing a cup of tea with you. All of this knowledge is so helpful!! A huge thank you from Columbus, OH! ❤
You are so welcome!
I'm also so thankful for my parents! I think the idea of being prepared may have started because we live in Florida and hurricanes come around yearly, but then the real food and herbal medicine was brought in too and that was all just thanks to my smart think-outside-the-box mamma 😋
I'm working to stock up some medicinal herbs for my little family now, thank you for sharing this video with us! Would love to know which herb(s) you recommend begining with?
Ok so genuinely wondering: why do you have a fireplace if you live in Texas? :) Do you typically use it every winter? Love this video ❤️
Great question! January and February here in Central Texas can be SO unpredictable. When I filmed this video it was 20F outside. So the fireplace was very warming. And when we lose power in the winter, it's a godsend! Love, Mary
I read somewhere that if buying dried herbs & spices to try & get them from Indian or other ethnic supermarkets as they are usually a better quality, more aromatic, more flavour, fresher, cheaper, a bigger variety & in larger quantities than your average supermarket dried herbs & spices.
Great tip!
Wow Thanks so much for all your incredible resources!
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
You are so welcome!
Hi sweet Mary, I am a blind viewer of your channel. I love listening to your voice. I love cooking and gardening, but I do the best I can with my situation. I’m so thankful you mentioned the herbal teas by Organic India, because I neither have the accommodation or now the time I think to prepare what you suggest. I keep the basics such as manuka honey, olive leaf extract and oregano oil. If you can put a link to your 10 most important herbs video in your reply to me I would like to watch that. Perhaps you mention a company where I can get those herbs. Thank you so much for all you do, you are God’s gift to people at this time.
BTW, Jesus is coming very soon, first for those who have put their trust in Him and then to judge the whole world. I really hope I will see you in heaven, dear sweet Mary.
Hi Grace, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I am so happy that we are on this traditional foods journey together! Here is the link to the 10 best herbs: ruclips.net/video/DZRIzGMr4jE/видео.html and here are 5 more: ruclips.net/video/tmxUUMKd6nA/видео.html Yes, let's hope that one day we will see each other in Heaven. And something tells me that we will be fast friends! Love, Mary
Do you put your printouts in plastic sleeves or just 3-hole punch and put in binder? I worry over time they will get ruined if if don’t put in sleeves but sleeves are thicker and can get more expensive-but I think that’s the way I’ll go. Thoughts?
Great question! Yes, I usually put them in plastic sleeves and then into my binder. Love, Mary
Thank you, Mary! This community certainly loves you back! I hope you feel that. Quick note for any Spanish speakers or anyone who has neighbors who are more comfortable speaking Spanish than English: There is a great resource called Donde No Hay Doctor ("Where there is no doctor"), which covers basic first aid and other home remedies. It was written originally for rural areas where there literally was no doctor. It might be a helpful resource.
Wonderful!
I have stocked up on Rosemary
Hi Anna, That is a great idea!! Love, Mary
Love your channel long time viewer just purchased a sample pack of the organic India tea thanks to your recommendation
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Mary, I haven't yet looked at your list, but I wanted to say an important one that I use is oil of oregano. I'm not sure if you can make your own "hot" oil, but it has treated and cured so, so many issues. It's a hot oil, so you're supposed to cut it with a carrier oil, but I've used it pure on my toenails to cure nail fungus, ear infections and sore throats. Works on viruses, and both gram + and gram - bacteria! Gotta try it.
Excellent tip!
Love this thank you Mary. I have some things growing in my yard. And I just ordered some new items, calendula, more Nettles, Self-heal...Now I'll read your list and see what else I need to get.
Wow - that's great!!
Mary is the best! Thanks for sharing this information in such a digestible way.
Hi Kellie, You are so welcome! Love, Mary
Hi Mary, I’m really enjoying your videos. The Herbal pantry hooked me. I have been in holistic healing since 1971. At 70, my patio garden is set up. I have a panty full of herbs and spices. My weakness is organization. When you surfaced on You Tube, I am ready to organize my kitchen and seed box. Thank you so much for being out there with your calm soothing voice and experience. ❤Gay
Another treat! Thank you Mary!❤
We love you Mary! You are just so precious and the sweetest and most giving person we know. God bless you, your family, and your business in fathomless measure.
Hi Florence, WOW...Thank you so much! God bless you and your family too!! Love, Mary
I see the beauty in everything around me. I developed or am developing a close relationship with the plant life that grows naturally all around me. I have learned to make wonderful plant-ally medicines from learning my plants a d what each can and does do. I thank Spirit for always guiding me and allowing the healing and nurturing to flow thru me and around so I am able to pass on what I discover to every divine soul around me. Namaste. ❤
I am not finding the link to download the printable file for the Healing Pantry.
Hi Alena, It's in the description and the pinned comment under the video, but here it is too: marysnest.com/how-to-stock-your-healing-pantry-and-create-an-herbal-medicine-cabinet/ Love, Mary

Hi Mary, my question is this … to make tinctures what alcohol can I not use? I don’t drink However my sister gave me the following (upgraded her bar supplies). Sambuca, apricot brandy, tequila, gran mariner and rum. Thank you so much for your channel.
Grace
That's a great question. I'm not 100% familiar with some of the liquors you mentioned but I think when making tinctures with alcohol it's best to use ones that are 80 to 100 "proof" but I hope others here will chime in to answer your question. Love, Mary
Thank you for responding. I love, admire your work and dedication ❤️
Great information, Mary. We are growing a wider range of herbs this year. This printable list will help us plan what to grow more of. Hope you have a blessed and warm weekend.
Wonderful!
You are a gem and a wealth of knowledge! I love how you share all this wonderful information with so much kindness. Thank you Mary ❤️
Calms Forte is my favorite
I have those books and love them! I use them on a regular basis I keep them on the counter. I think Kami’s book offers something very unique when it comes to herbal recipe books. It has filled a gap for me on my journey. Thank you for the print out I can’t wait to look over the other videos you mention. I’ve been on this journey for five years and all your advice is spot on, just do little by little and it will keep building! Ps. Love the fire in the back and your sacred heart image!
Oh Christine! Thank you so much for all the kind words!! Love, Mary
YESSS! This is just what I need. I gotta plan what herbs to plant this season!
I’m over the pantry challenge so I’m definitely gotta stock up. ❤❤❤
Sounds like a plan! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest 🥰🥰🥰 thank you for the video my friend ❤️
I just want to say I appreciate how much knowledge you share about traditional medicine, as well as food, and that you also talk about seeing and advising with healthcare professionals and about integrative medicine because that's such an amazing yet nuanced position and field of study and medicine that's very underrated and rare, in my opinion. Many people i come across are either completely against natural healing and will only trust the most trendy tech and drugs in modern medicine or will only trust herbal remedies and never even take their children to a doctor or hospital. So seeing such a balanced view promoted just makes my heart sing. I love studying plant medicine and pharmacognacy, as well as neuroscience, psychology, nutrition science, pharmacology, and general biology. It's my dream to combine these fields of study into my own integrative mental health practice.
Weeds are wonderful! I live on one acre in the pnw and I'm amazed every year, at how many native and naturalized "weeds" I have that are medicinal and/or useful in other ways. I just recently made a natural flea and tick spray with some billiard and mint i have right outside. I grow the mint, the billiard grows here on its own.
Thank you so much for this printable🤗
I would include Uva ursi.
I kindly recommend emphasizing the importance of labeling your blends.
Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Directions/Dosage. After all the efforts, research, and good intention involved it would be a unfortunate to negatively impact a loved one who should be taking an alternative herb simply because someone forgot in the heat of the moment.
It would also be sad if someone were to take herbs or make a blend of herbs that had negative interactions when mixed or negatively impact someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
Thank you, Mary! Excellent video as always. ☀️
Great tip!!
Love Mary! Her voice is so soothing. I am a family medicine resident and am completing the integrative medicine course by Dr. Weil. My practice is taking off this year/next and I use integrative medicine every day! Mary is such a wonderful resource.
For all respiratory issues lobelia tincture, has been used for Bronchitis, phuemonia, and Asthma for sure kept in my apothecary. Willow bark, now many want white willow bark but all willow have the properties needed for make willow garlic oil which I have used on my kids, grandkids, cats, dogs ,hamsters, guinea pigs name it for ear infections. The garlic kills the bacteria and the willow takes the pain out bang now unlike Mullen. I collect the sap buds of the cotton wood tree any sticky sap buds will make nice creams lotions and healing salves. Cotton wood belongs to the willow family and has many of the same properties and more. Chuga mushroom dried and stores for daily tea and is a must it heals on a cellular level.
Thanks so much for sharing.
I’m in Tampa Florida, and at Walmart they have 106oz glass jars with the clamp style lids for $6 I just bought some so they should still be about the same price. Just for anyone who may be looking for some near Tampa. Also saw some at target for $6 but they were about 1/2 the size as the ones at Walmart. Dollar tree sometimes has small ones about a pint size for $1.25 just trying to help anyone searching for low price jars with clamp lids.
Thanks for this video, Mary. Learning about medicinal herbs is on my 2023 list of goals, 🙂
Hi Jan, I know what you mean!! I want to lear more and more and more!! Love, Mary
Mary, when you were talking about the muslin bags, it sounded like you were saying Muslim bags. L.O.L.
Hi Mrs. Mary! I came across your channel looking for a homemade sauerkraut recipe and I came across yours😊. You are a very knowledgeable and sweet person. This video made me a subbie because I think I can learn a lot here! God Bless!
This info is long lost to me. I had an amazing herbal medicine book that i lost when my home burned down a few years back, and i havent been able to replace it, as it went out of print. It had photos of every medicinal plant, weed, and herb, as well as simple, clear directions on drying and preparing into teas, salves, and capsules.
I miss that book. The salves i made worked better than what you can buy
I have gone to your various sites, but cannot find how to print your free lists. Please help. Thank you.
Love your you tube videos and your expertise.and soft voice.your knowledge.
I have a question about tinctures when you strain them could you feed the herbs to the chickens
Mary, do you know anything about soursop bitters? I read that there are many benefits, but there are cautions to consider when using this herbal remedy. If you are familiar with it, it would probably take a whole show to talk about it. I’ve been reading about it and really want to try it with caution. One bit of information that I have not found is how long you can safely use it before you need to take a break. The benefits seem so worth it, but there are some toxicities to take into account. If you know anything about this remedy, I would love to know what you think about it. Thank you.💛
I know you posted this 5 months ago, but just found it now. Is there a place that sells dried herbs in bulk form?
Or if you have silicone baking mats, you can cut your own gasket. At least until you can afford to buy gaskets.
Great video Mary, thank you. Hope you hit the big 1 million soon!
Ty Mary! Did you recently get alot of snow & ice & zero temperatures? Knew you'd be well prepared if you had a power outage.
Hi Joyce, yes - just terrible - we lost so many trees but luckily we kept power this time. But the good news is that we are all safe and sound! Love, Mary
I remember when some of your garden got ruined with snow/ice so thank goodness your garden isn't growing right now.
Thank you Mary! This list will be very helpful to me! Right now my cabinet is all willy nilly....ha ha. I grow some herbs now, mint, lemon balm, oregano, that I dry and use for teas and I can't wait to get started on all of these. Thanks so much. I just love your channel. God Bless You!
When discount coupons are mentioned, it would be helpful to give date of video class. I sometimes get videos that are years old!
Hi Mary! I saw your string holder/ cutter on Amazon.
In areas where it's legal, consider storing CBD oil. It's made from hemp. It doesn't get you high, contains little if any THC. THC is what makes you high. CDB has fantastic pain relieving properties.
Bravo, Mary, thank you sharing this information!
I believe GOD gives us what we need. And Believing that I encourage people to Identify all the "Weeds" in their yard and look up the benefits before the decide grass is best. We do not always know what we need 😉
😇🙏🤩
Some allergies can be put at bay by eating raw locally grown honey. It worked for me!
You are so sweet and encouraging. You have helped me so much over the past few years. You make getting back to basics very simple. This is so necessary these days. Young people think it's hard but it doesn't have to be. They just need a guide...and permission to do it their own way.
Thanks for the free downloads. I've made a notebook 🥰
A mix of Blue Vervain and lavender is also good for relaxing and falling asleep. I realize some people it won't work for, and some people might be allergic, but I do want to put it out there for people who can use it safely. I never had any problems with those herbs, and I have asthma, so I do consider it safe for most people. Still, start with a tiny amount made into a tea, maybe dilute with water and add honey or other sweetener. You can always add more later, but you can't add less if you are dead.
Yikes!
lol "add less if you're dead"
@@evegreenification Well, yea, you are tech true, I won't argue that. But you are leading people to think all herbal remedies are harmful. I do have trouble with that. Not all of them I have read are great or even good, but Mary does her work, she is safe. Adding a little sage if you aren't allergic, adding a little mint if you aren't allergic, these are commonly added to otc meds, just not always in therapeutic levels. It can't fix every thing, but what it can fix I am SOOOO grateful for! Thank you, Mary! and your friends who taught you!
@@shadodragonette I was literally quoting your own words, hon. I thought your phrasing was funny and I haven't said one dang word about herbal remedies, which I use myself all the time. You know what I would love for a change? If people would give me back 1 measly percent of the smiles I send out there 🙄
@@evegreenification It's all in context "hon". I don't look for smiles, replies, or other, I am fine with being ignored. I prefer being ignored over being taken out of context. Good luck to you, and may you never ever ever read anything I type ever again.
Tulsi is my latest favourite tea. I’m growing a bunch of tulsi basil in my basement under lights so I can stock up some more.
Hi Rhonda, Wow - that is great that you are growing it!! Love, Mary
Where does she recommend buying dried herbs from? Did I miss it?
I generally recommend growing what you can. For purchasing, try to find local shops in your area that may sell dried herbs. They will most likely be the freshest. You can also look online for small reputable retailers. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest thankyou so much for responding. Thats the plan eventually. We need to learn our new climate and how to work with it. We just moved to ND and have been hit hard with respitory sickness. I've got some herbs on hand that I had bought from a reputable place but the prices have sky rocketed. Looking for a new distributor for some of the essentials I don't currently have.
Hey, Mary, I have learned so much from you. I make bone broth about every other month, more if I can find bone-in meats. I have my freezer bag of scraps, I have a couple people who keep bones and scraps for me, and I share the bone broth with them. My bone-broths are usually a mix of chicken and whatever other bone-in meat I can find, because everything seems to be boneless these days. I did buy beef bones I found in one store for my last batch, which was mixed with chicken bones, but turned out very very good. Finding beef or pork bones locally is getting harder and harder. I guess people don't realize that's half where the flavor is, and the other half is the fat? I swear, the pork chops I buy lately taste of water and whatever seasoning I put on them, they don't taste like anything else. I used to hate pork steaks because they were too strong, but now they barely taste of anything. It's not even that long ago that food tasted like food, not just flavors added...
Hi Catherine, I know what you mean! But I am so happy to hear that you are making bone broth with whatever you can find. Love, Mary
Wish you had one of those forward or backwards 10 sec buttons
Hmmm...that's nothing I have control over. All that is handled by RUclips. Love, Mary
She does. Double tap on either left or right side. It worked for me
I love herbs and want to grow more. I have already gotten my seeds. I love "Juck Stores" - someone's junk is someone else's treasure. I have been collecting the flip top bottles - clear and dark. I even had a jar that got a crack in it and found another just like it at a thrift store except the rubber gasket was missing, so switched the lids - perfect solution and kept the cost down. One year at an auction, I got a coffee grounder for free. It has been perfect for making spices. I like to get certain spices in whole seeds and ground when needed.
I love your videos and all the information you give out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
What a nice video ☺
I really enjoyed it, thank you.
🥰🍀🌻
Glad you enjoyed it!
We have plantain and nettles on the farm. 😊
Hi Diane, I don't live on a farm - wish I did! Just a 1/2 acre. :-) But I have plantain growing wild! Love, Mary
Do herbs have to be stored in the dark? I tend to forget some of them when stored in a cabinet. How do you have them stored?
Can we use kombucha vinagre for tinctures?
I have some of Rosemary Gladstars books and have followed her for years and love what she shares. If you follow 1 person I'd suggest her she's a very knowledgeable person in herbs.
I have used a small spice can (like your basic ground black pepper can) of cinnamon from the 1970s, and 50 years later it's still flavorfull. Cinnamon stores well.
Thank you Mary!
As a homeopath and Herbalist I can tell you these skills are essential for families and homesteads!
Thanks!
Brown bags also keeps light from getting to your herbs
What about elderberry?
Definitely! Great recommendation!! Love, Mary
I wanted to know on the episode that you had when you were talking about regrowing kitchen scraps, I wanted to know if i put my lettuce, green onions, scallions in a jar to grow them again can i keep them in the refrigerator instead of leaving them out? i have a problem with flies and tiny bugs in my house and I don't want them to eat the scraps.
Hi Christine, That is a great question. I have not tried it but I think it may work. You can also make a natural indoor bug repellant by simmering some basil and/or mint in water on the stovetop for about 10 minutes. Stain the mixture, allow it to cool and use it as a bug spray on your veggies that you are trying to grow. Love, Mary
Thank you, Mary, for the good information! Wild lettuce is supposed to help with pain. God bless you!
