10 MEDICINE PLANTS FOR YOUR GARDEN: Health benefits and Growing Guide 

Me, 16 year old boy lying in my bed at 9 at night dreaming of my own Scottish weedy garden

6am on a Saturday morning and my young daughter and I are rugged up in bed watching Weedy ❤

Wormwood, specifically artemesia annua is an amazing antiparasitic herb as well. This variety was handed an award for helping malaria. Artemisia annua has also been used as a cancer treatment.

So happy to hear about the medicinal herb partnership videos!!! awesome!!!

Thanks so much for having me Weedy, and letting me talk all things herbs! I hope everyone finds the episode to be helpful💝 Much love, Elle xxx

NSW Pre 88. HOD. PTSD. Gardening is now my life and cure for stress. Doesn’t always help, but it’s solace for mindfulness. Love to see you thriving

You missed my favorite plant, nettle. I drink a quart of infusion every 3 days. Solved sooo many issues for me, I sometimes add dried dandelion flowers, dried kale leaves or grape leaves.. I grow most of these and use them as needed. Lovely video, thank you from an Oregon gardener.😊

Thanks for having this fantastic and important series… love it! 😍☺️🙏🏻 I‘m also very into medicinal herbs here in Europe in Germany, Austria, Italy and my garden here in Slavonia/Croatia. Yaro grows wild everywhere here and it’s with stinging nettles, blackberries and mint the hardest to set borders to the veggie garden… 🤣🙈 also lemon balm, thyme and wild carots & parsnips grow everywhere… I had to look up some plants names because I didn’t know the english name. Perhaps it’s a good idea to add the latin names for your worlds audience, because the translation is often not distinct… 🤔 So here are some interesting additions from my/ the european persperctive: fever few, the german name is „Mutterkraut“, which means directly translated „mothers herb“. The trivial name „motherwort“ comes from its use for pregnancy complaints - it triggers menstruation and promotes the detachment of the placenta, making it an abortifacient. Perhaps this was the plant, Elle‘s client was searching for in the beginning… Mugwort or wormwood belongs to the „Artemisia family“, that knows over 200 varieties… the very common and well known „Artemisia vulgaris“, what pushes the fat digestion through its bitterness and is used as a spice for fatty dishes like goose here in Europe. It‘s also very common here to use it to fumigate the house on certain days to rid it of evil spirits and bad energies. The „Artemisia absinthium“, of which the very famous „Absinth“ was made, a bitter digestive, the famous „Absinthe“, in whose intoxication it is said that the painter Van Gogh cut off his ear. My absolute favourite and most important medicinal herb of the last four years is „Artemisia annua“: It was THE herb against covid. If you ever wondered why some african counties like Tansania, quit the WHO Membership and said they have their own medicine against Covid: this was it! You only have to drink that bitter tea or use it as a plant powder or DMSO extract/ tincture and you are safe. It works not only preventive against any type of virus, bacteria, many parasites (e.g. those who cause Malaria), it also heals them! We experienced that serveral times during the plandemic, but also due to so called long covid… Since 2.000 years this plant is known as the Anti Malaria Plant in TCM. 2015 this plant got the Medicine Nobel Price… welll, actually the Chinese Doctor Tou Youyou got the Nobel price for isolating ONE active ingradient „Artemisinine“. Newest studies show that it’s also,a strong medicine against certain types of cancer. One „Artemisinine injection“ in alternative complementic cancer medicine costs 270 €. A paket of seeds between 4 € and 140 €. … a plant 5 €. With one plant - in Europe it gets over 2 m high and very bushy - you have enough medicine for your whole family and your neighbourhood … for one year! In 2020, the trade in Artemisia annua as a medicinal tea and food supplement was banned on the basis of the Novel Food Regulation. Reason: Resistance had already developed... The fact is: resistance to the isolated active ingredient ‘artemisinin’ had developed. The entire plant with its more than 250 active ingredients is still effective against malaria, Covid, cancer, etc So, if THIS is the kind of mugwort/ wormwood you planted in the chicken yard: it’s too precious to have it only for the chicks! You should defenately have one for your family… even if it’s bitter! The bitterness is it’s power! And the smell is absolutely fantastic!

Love everything about this. Thanks Weedy and Elle 💚

Beautiful content, so thoughtful and helpful. Thanks Weedy and Elle!

What a lovely collaboration 🌱💚🌀 thanks guys 🤗

Good video. Just wanted to share that the Echinacea root is only slightly stronger than the flower. The center of the flower is where the medicine is and you can harvest the flowers sooner. I wouldn’t bother digging the roots up since it will kill the plant. You can use Echinacea to treat sepsis, brown recluse spider bites and even rattlesnake bites. It contains an inhibitor that keeps the toxin from dissolving your tissue thus preserving the skin. You can even use it on animals, especially dogs. Use it with stimulating herbs like cayenne, peppermint and ginger to get the best benefits. Black eyed susan and yellow cone flower can be used in the same way as well.

How exciting. Once a month medicine plants. Thank you, thank you, thank you.😊🎉❤

Wow Elle, You are blooming and shining 😍so beautiful to absorb more of your wisdom. Excited to keep up with more of your herbal and garden tips xxx

0:04 Thank you so much for this. I only have a tiny garden and plants in pots. And well, there is always room for culinary and medicinal herbs. Thanks to both of you.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and look forward to watching more.

Yet another wonderful video and what an incredible human Elle is.

Lovely. Thanks for bringing your friend on to remind us gardeners not to forget the medicinals.

Whenever I watch you I feel peaceful and calm 🌱 I loved your plant talking back to you. This is what I imagine when I talk to my plants. I just know they can feel our love and I ain’t crazy. I’m considering studying and it’d be my dream to live the way you do. My father was a clever man and to me he could do anything. I loved being outside with him being caretakers of our few acres. It was the best. Thanks Weedy and thanks for having Elle on. I enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing your story! Fellow former first responder here. I am so glad you found the healing power of nature. I'm on my own recovery path and have been using a permaculture farm as a nature-based therapeutic space. We're even working on a burnout/compassion fatigue/PTSD retreat! Sending love from the US (Maryland).

Thank you for deleting that ridiculous comment about ego and cultivars, what nonsense. Cheers weedy for what you do and inspire us all to create a better world for humanity ❤

Oh My Giddy Aunt!! I love this new contribution so much Weedy, thank you, . . . .I didnt think I could love your videos any more than I already do, yet here you are with more goodness and high value #Grateful 🤩🙏💞🌳🌻

Fantastic video Weedy! Elle made me cry as I can relate to her story in so many ways!❤❤❤

Such courage and 🦋 inside 💗deep gratitude love for sharing the joy and connection of our beautiful MaMa 🌏🙏🐝

What's really impressive is the range of growth of many of those. Most of them I grow in my zone 4 food forest in chilly Canada.

Love the medicinal herb interlude idea Weedy! 🌱🐛🍄❤️

Powerful and beautiful and hopeful - my three words to describe this video. Thank you both!

Thankyou Elle and Weedy. What a nice way to get an education. Inspirational.

Thank you Elle, and Weedy, it's the tending of the earth that mend our spirit, and of course the medicinal and nutritive qualities of our little friends, if we nurture them, they nurture us!!

Amazing work guys, I cried for Elle's story, both Inspiring

Weedy,thank you for introducing us to Elle! (Hello Elle! 👋) This series has my total attention, I am in the process of learning more about medical plants and growing them for myself too. Elle,you were meant for this... thank you for taking time to do this with Weedy! I am looking forward to seeing you on the next stream! 😊 🪴 ❤

Thank you, Elle, for sharing your story and knowledge on plants' medical properties . 🙏🙇‍♀️Weedy, I love your style of communicating information it always brings a little joy in my day 💞🤗 I've bought the seeds after the last video and will be planting soon 😀

Hi Yah Weedy and welcome Elle. Awesome video.

Awesome video !!! Thank-you! More pleez😊

Weedy always knows how to transport you to an extraordinary place full of connection, emotion and life. It's like a message in a bottle from Mother Nature Weedy helped her to create, sent out for the world to see. ❤ Thank you Weedy

Thanks for such a beautiful and inspirational video. Masterfully put together, as usual, and such wonderful information. Elle’s story made me cry, to come from such a horrible situation to such a magical transformation 💚🪴🍀

Love the content can’t wait for the next one,thanks Elle and weedy ❤

Great video, I learned so much, thank you Weedy!❤

Good post. I grow ll of those herbs in my garden. I use them in my skin care and I make teas and medicine.

Actual tears hearing your story Elle. ❤

Very informative! Thank you for sharing! 😊

Love you weddy

Greetings and Salutations I thought this was a great upload I use loads of gardening gum in my lifestyle Thanks 😊

I love Elle! That would be such a difficult job, I don't think I could handle that either!

Thanks a lot for sharing. Lovely Elle and Weedy. We use and grow at home, in Pamplona, Spain, almost the same wonderfull plants as you show. Love to use plants in teas, tinctures, medicinal oils. ❤

Weedy .. thou art a Wizard .. what a beautifully done video (I'm only 10 min. in) .. I've already shared this link with several friends .. (by the way Elle is wonderful) .. Wow!!

This is lovely and so inspiring, I’m heading out to harvest some of these great herbs!

Fantastic 💚

Iam always dreaming about my weedy garden❤

Who is this women having such a great knowledge on herbs

Been waiting for this, great content as always. I’ll be putting this info to good use. Thanks for sharing your journey Elle, as a cptsd survivor I really connected with your story. Thank you.

Yes, I got a bit emotional there. ❤

Hi Weedy, I grew/grow Lemon Balm zone 3. The plant doesn't come back, but I have a gazillion baby lemon balms this year. Watch out for the self seeders. Love your information....thank you 🇨🇦

Loved the video and would really find it useful if Elle could go into more depth with how to make the tinctures and salves. Thanks for your efforts in bringing a fun and informative video to everyone. Brings a smile to my dial every time I watch a Weedy video!

I am learning how to fill a 20 cu ft raised bed with some top soil, vermiculite, rotten log having used most of my purchased soil for tomatoes planters. Hope my herbs and elderberry thrive given it is partially shaded by a chain link fence, buckthorn, and haven't added compost/mulch. I tried germinating holy basil, moringa, gotu kola indoors and only few sprouted.

Thank you for the great video. Are any of these herbs toxic to dogs?

Awesomeness

Thank you for your wonderful videos

Great video I’m going to try to grow some lemon balm ❤️🌱

Thank you so much, just what I was looking for, and the free pdf is great although I was taking notes!!😅

Good morning

great video its the venture im on myself so just what i needed to hear and am growin most except 4 that where mentioned so i hope to get some yarrow and achensea sage and wormwood

I have started a herb garden in England at the Glade trust nature reserve. I really want to extend the collection . Thank you to Elle and weedy garden for your valuable information. I have a lot of sage , mints ,lemon balm and rosemary . In the greenhouse we have a very old passionflower which seems to be ill , how can I bring it back to life?

yessss! omg!

Lemon balm knocks me out like a rock! I've always been extremely sensitive to medications of all types...

Drying and smoking lemon balm can help stop cigarette smoking.

Weedy, chickweed is also medicinal 😊

What a fantastic video. I was so frustrated this year by all the slugs and snails but with this knowlegde I will keep on growing herbs. But what is with a replacement to tinctures? My moms liver does not tolarete any alcohol at all. She has an illness which makes the body believe that her liver doesn't belong to her. I think the word is an autoimmune illness. Sorry for my horrible english. Loves from Germany.

Borage Chamomile Echinacea Feverfew Yarrow Lemonbalm Mugwort Wormwood Sage Thyme

Weedy, can you please ask Elle if she will ship products overseas? 🙏

Hello weedy I am surprised why holly basil didn't showcase in this video, any particular reason for that? Here in India it's almost a compulsory plant to have in every house even if it's a jam packed crowded building in Mumbai there is alway a window where you will find a pot of holly basil

Elle's really pretty. There I said it.

If Elle could only recommend one herbal medicine book, what would it be? I've been wanting to buy a book on herbal medicine for awhile now

Lemon balm is my holy herb! It would he nice to add the latin names of the plants so every one around the world knows exactly which plants we talk about 😉

It's a nice change of scenery to look at Elle rather than a bearded garden man.

🤗💚🤗

With these medical plant seeds you guys sell: do you guys ship to Japan?

The pdf will not download 😢

Jesus is gonna ward off evil spirits no plants would do that mama

I want you to adjust the video to Arabic subtitles😊

Grandson was distracted because of your guest breast showing. Please remember that you have younger viewers that’s being taught so please be mindful of your attire.

No mention of weedy’s special weedy herbs that help open the heart and expand the mind to universal love 😜🍄🍄‍🟫🌵☘️

Thank you Elle for sharing your journey. Much love to you

Wow I was thinking… I’m about to rewatch this whole video and take notes, but at the end you mentioned the pdf and now I feel so blessed, thank you for being so awesome Mr weedy garden. Hope we get to meet one day

Wow what a wonderful collaboration I was totally absorbed with what Elle was teaching and you planting. I have not had much luck germinating some of these herbs but will give it another go. Knowing how to use the herbs is priceless knowledge. Thank you so much😊

What a lovely start to a Saturday morning. I think I need to plant more herbs under our fruit trees. You two make a good team & looking forward to seeing Elle in a video monthly. 💜

I’m m loving your channel and guests Weedy. The antiviral properties of Lemon balm healed a cold sore in 2 days and was brilliant with echinacea flowers as a tea when cvid struck. Off I go now plant wormwood in the chook yard 🐓🐓🐓🐓

Thank you for sharing your story. I have discovered another of nature's gifts mushrooms that are medicine. I am still learning herbs as well. And look forward to more from both of you.

Got me, love borage, grow and planted 9 of them in my this year First real garden season, just because of the Look...

I honestly didn’t want this video to finish! Beautiful colaboration. I’m in UK so can’t get the seeds from you. Sad

Awesome video. I love learning about the medicinal herbs. Your videography style always makes me feel so chill 😎
