I really appreciate how thoroughly you detail everything about each plant and show us what each one looks like, and what it's used for. I can't afford to go back to school besides that I'm much too old. Lol thank you so much for your video's
I hope we can become closer friends in the future. Thanks for everything Josh. Never forget that I'm out here underneath the same sun and moon every day and I was inspired by you and I'm striving to have a successful life and help people by working with plants, just like you. I love you bro, I can never thank you enough.
Thank you so much for the kind words man! I'm sure we will become much better friends in the future! Just know that I appreciate all your kindness and comments, even if I haven't responded to all of them, yet I do read them all. I can't thank you enough for going through all my videos and taking the time to comment on each one of them!
It's so funny I was walking through nature this morning and I was drawn to each of these plants and was wondering why and what they were. then your video pops up in my feed this afternoon and I watch it to find out what the plants I saw this morning were lol. Thanks for the info 💚💚💚
Maybe you're born with it...maybe it's Mullein! Thank you much for taking time to thoroughly discuss & display each plant in this vid; so much more practical & helpful in learning about how to recognize, harvest & use forgeable plants than trying to learn by field guides.
Lol, that's funny! No problem Shannon, I agree that field guides can be difficult to learn from as you can't see the plants in enough detail to cover the bases of each plants features. Thanks for commenting!
Mullen tea is good and really helps with sinuss, I have also dryed the leaves and smoked it, made me have a High feeling but also breathe easier if you have sinuses.the tea is good.❤️
After learning about yarrow (thank you),I was gifted a large chunk of yarrow which I transplanted early spring. This Yarrow yarrow is beautiful & now (July 2021) in full bloom here in southern IN. 😊
when I first discovered yarrow, I was confused about the warnings as well. to me, it is so distinctly different. i happily found it growing right beside my garage! it's one of my favorites now. ♡
Josh i have a question for you concerning tinctures. I'm wondering if you are making a topical tincture (like a wash) could you use isopropyl alcohol? I want to make a bug bite relief i was thinking plantain, jewel weed, and yarrow. What do you think?
I need some help on a identification own a plant I've never seen before it grows 5 to 6 feet tall its leaves are shaped like boneset and it's stalk has for Lacey like features that's about a half inch to three quarter inch long running down the whole stem and a white flowers at the top any ideas on what it is
By the description you gave I can't say, would probably need a picture or a video of the plant to tell you, unfortunately. Sorry I couldn't be of more help james :( Thanks for asking though.
A question about common mullein. In one of the books I have read about medicinal use of it for asthma - used like a tobacco, inhaling its smoke. Though it wasn't a book on herbs. Can you confirm that this is one of the way of the use of that plant ?
I have read the same thing over the years but honestly I wouldn't recommend smoking it for asthma. I'd recommend a tea or tincture so as to be easier on the lungs.
I also live in Indiana and was hoping you could tell me what time of the year does Autumn come in Indiana 2021. I want to look for magic mushies this year and if you are up to it I will pay you to take me around Indiana teaching me about these plant's!
Hey bro I'm in Indiana as well don't know how old this video is but I'm here in Gary now and I was born on Dr.Sebi's EarthDay I'm gettn all knowledge from different herbalist and foragers
Please use the 'LATIN NAME' so there is no cofusion! Thanks, Yes great toilet paper substitute, I speak from experience :) In the days of old, When knights were bold, and paper was not invented, They used to wipe their rumps on cabbage stumps, and walk away contented. :) Well they were not aware of this handy plant!!! Thanks for the great video. . and paper was not invented ; They used to wipe their rumps on cabbage
I love yarrow and plantain so much for their medicinal qualities I planted them in my herb gardens. You are so knowledgeable! I'm a new subscriber as of today. J.
Yes, they are usually in the description of my videos. Not many people click on them, especially now that views and watch time are dropping rapidly on my channel. Why do you not see them in the description?
Hmmm.... they should be there, as I'm seeing them in my video manager when I look at my individual videos. I'll go look on my mobile device real quick and see if they are showing up there, be right back.......okay after looking on my tablet they are showing up in the video description. Are you scrolling down all they way, I assume you are, but asking because they are after my patreon link so they are kind of far down. Just curious and I can't figure out why you are not seeing them. I appreciate you bringing this up Teja, and hopefully I can figure out why they aren't showing up for you. Haven't heard any one else mention this to me yet. Again thank you for bringing this up!
Have you written a book on wild edible plants are medical plants. If not would you who would you recommend? I am from South Georgia are plants maybe our little different from yours but I'd like a good reference book for edible and medical plants other than Peterson their books were written about the same time I was born a references are 1952 + 3 + 57. We'll keep the videos coming I really enjoy them I think they're helpful I'm new to Bushcraft and survival. 🚶💀
I love the in-depth information & descriptions, but I was disappointed that you didn't mention that Mullein seeds are toxic & not to be used for anything except starting new plants.
Sorry but Lambs ear is another plant altogether and much smaller.Anyone who calls this plant lambs ear would be incorrect. How you tell Mullein and Lambs ear apart when they're young is by taking a small leaf and crushing the leaf.Lambs ears is aromatic and Mullein is not.Lambs ear is shiny and silky where Mullein is dull looking and rougher.Lambs ear in the wild doesn't grow very tall but Mullein can get 8 ft tall. I would suggest anyone who wants to use either or both of these plants be aware they do not have the same medicinal properties and are not used for the same thing.
I do not know if yellow flowered yarrow can be used in the same way, so I an't be of much help here unfortunately. You could try a google search and see if it has any uses or possible toxins that may make it to where it's not usable, again though I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help here Kaye, I try to answer every question I'm asked with good info but sometimes I can't. Thanks for asking though and hopefully you find some info on it and get the answers you need!
@@yvesrondeau9389 not necessarily. I have white (taken and transplanted from wild), yellow and pink. The colored ones were obtained from commercial seed, so there’s no doubt they’re yarrow.😀Tansy has tight, deep gold button-like flowers and a strong, distinctive smell/fragrance.
It's okay Teja, take your time. You've been following my channel for a long time now and you're a great person to have around. My videos are there. Hope you had good holidays!
I was told to take yarrow since I have viruses in my body. Thats what my Zyto test and iTovi test shows. I am still checking on the validity of this technology.
The reason why they don’t want people using it is because the pharmaceutical companies will lose too much money if you’re using it to heal yourself it’s that simple. There’s nothing wrong with using these things. Those warnings are put there by the people being paid by the pharmaceutical companies to scare you.
When using Mullein as toilet paper the leaf will leave behind on your behind or whatever😂 those little spikes that when you are making tea of the leaves you are supposed to strain out so the little spikes dont lodge in you throat🤷🏻♀️ be safe! Mullein is not recommended to use as you would use safe Lambs Ears plant
Great job many thanks
I love your channel super helpful ❤
Thank you for your video and detailed explanation of each plant/flowers. It makes it easier to remember when I find it!
Glad it was helpful for you, thanks for commenting!
I love to eat the flowers of the mullein whenever I find some. Thanks Josh for another video.
No problem Garland, thanks for commenting!
Fantastic video! Very informative and easy to listen to. I love it. Thank you for caring enough to share your knowledge.
No problem Cindy, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting!

You're very welcome River! Being thorough is very important to proper identification. Thanks for commenting!
Love this information. Learning how to forage is sometimes very confusing. I follow a few different folk on this subject.
Very informative video, thanks for sharing!
You're welcome and I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting!
Thank you very much sir, this knowledge will be put to good use. Its a shame not everyone knows this information.

I agree Yarrow looks nothing like poison Hemlock. Yarrow is great!
Yes it is, one of my favorite medicinal plants! Thanks for commenting!
Beautiful
In Indiana you can find wild yarrow growing at the edge of a forest or trail, looks like a small fern coming out of the grass
Fanawesometastic 🙏❤️
when I first discovered yarrow, I was confused about the warnings as well. to me, it is so distinctly different. i happily found it growing right beside my garage! it's one of my favorites now. ♡
also, broad leaf plantain is the way I introduced my kiddos to herbs and foraging. we call it the bug bite plant!
Awesome to hear Kate, I love Yarrow too, as well as plantain. They are so useful and easy to harvest and use.
Josh i have a question for you concerning tinctures. I'm wondering if you are making a topical tincture (like a wash) could you use isopropyl alcohol? I want to make a bug bite relief i was thinking plantain, jewel weed, and yarrow. What do you think?
Can I use the yarrow out of my wildflower packet from store ? It's the white kind

Please use the 'LATIN NAME' so there is no cofusion! Thanks, Yes great toilet paper substitute, I speak from experience :)
In the days of old,
When knights were bold,
and paper was not invented,

Many do NOT know that Latin names so using them only would not be helpful.
I love yarrow and plantain so much for their medicinal qualities I planted them in my herb gardens. You are so knowledgeable! I'm a new subscriber as of today.

Thank you jesi for subscribing, I'm glad you like the videos!
Do you have affliate products on amazon?
Yes, they are usually in the description of my videos. Not many people click on them, especially now that views and watch time are dropping rapidly on my channel. Why do you not see them in the description?
No the affiliate product are not seen on your description
Hmmm.... they should be there, as I'm seeing them in my video manager when I look at my individual videos.

Finally found them they are hidden under another tab.
Hmmm....strange but at least you found them. Thanks for asking and wanting to support he channel a little bit Teja!

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is different from Lamb's ear (Stachys byzantina) please explain the difference. Thanks
I love the in-depth information & descriptions, but I was disappointed that you didn't mention that Mullein seeds are toxic & not to be used for anything except starting new plants.
talk about Trillium

I have yellow yarrow growing in my yard, not white.

Wild yarrow is white, if you have a wild yellow this is probably tansy.
@@yvesrondeau9389 not necessarily. I have white (taken and transplanted from wild), yellow and pink. The colored ones were obtained from commercial seed, so there’s no doubt they’re yarrow.😀Tansy has tight, deep gold button-like flowers and a strong, distinctive smell/fragrance.
Kaye Caban not necessarily. I have white (taken and transplanted from wild), yellow and pink. The colored ones were obtained from commercial seed.
You‘re right, I‘ve had some rainbow yarrows from seeds too, but mine didn‘t surveive in the wild; after a couple of years, they completly disapeared.
They all three types of plantain they all the two
You said and the Texas
Forgotten plantain
3 of the 5 grow every witch way around my house
Correct you are correct I noticed that LOL
Still trying yto catch up on all your videos
It's okay Teja, take your time. You've been following my channel for a long time now and you're a great person to have around. My videos are there. Hope you had good holidays!

Lambs Ears plant
I think yarrow smells like witchhazel to me
