Thankyou Weedy for producing such a great video! It has been an absolute delight to film and grow with you. I hope everyone loves the video and finds it informative. Elle, Australian Medicinal Herbs xxx
So many Thomas! I have some scientific journals as links on my website but also look up PubMed as there are now a LOT of scientific journals that show the efficacy of these beautiful plants 🌱
My farm on Barbados has gradually evolved into a medicinal herb garden from which I harvest an extraordinary variety of aromatic and bitter herbs, I process and dry leaves, wood, bark, seeds, flowers and fruit into value added products for my pop-up-apothecary at a local farmer's market. In addition to all the air-dried stuff and curious blends thereof, I sell a very effective "Bush Tea" tonic which contains Hibiscus, Tulsi, Lemongrass and Mint for pleasant flavour, and additional powerful adaptogens and cleansers from our shamanic traditions like Noni and Damiana which make it easier to see the fairies who live in the garden... and others which tend to be bitter like Quassia and Papaya Leaf which drive all ugly-buglies out of your blood and bowels post haste. It's very meaningful work and you are always an inspiration. Thanks Weedy.
Wonderful! I adore medicinal herbs. I grow 37 of them, always adding more. My favorites are yarrow, chamomile, dandelion, echinacea, yellow dock, and plantain.

Thanks Elle for sharing so generously the information on how to grow and use and Weedy for helping to make the video to help Elle share with us. Hope there are more collaborations. ❤
I can't wait for the next video! Alcohol vs. water vs. oil extraction? what's the best temperature? Is drying with a little heat ok? What about freeze drying? How do all of these things effect the medicinal content of the finished teas/tinctures/extracts? So many questions!
The majority of herbs will have some sort of clinical study done on it. It will say ethanolic extract (where you'd use vodka), aqueous extract (water) or it will say freeze dried or dried at a certain temp. Oil extraction with dried herbs either left in a jar or slow and super low heat. These are usually with the ones you can't ingest like arnica and comfrey.
I am a registered nurse in nyc hospital and i am always giving natural alternatives to my patients. So happy the majority of them take my advice. When they have pain I rub them with eucalyptus. They actually enjoy it 😊. I just need to go back to school for herbal medicine.
I tried using the dried passion flower to make tea in hopes that it would aid in sleep, it did not. I also tried a tincture, it did not help either but no one told me was that it was an accumulator. So, back to square one, going to plant it again and give it another try. Luckily I can grow 4 out of 5 plants here in Florida and have some already. Enjoyed the video as usual and found it informative and interesting. You really do produce such polished videos!
The hibiscus is sorrel, that what we call it in Jamaica. It makes really nice juice. Boil it in a pot of water with ginger. Or you can boil up a pot of water & then throw in the sorrel, ginger & cover for about 2 hours then strain it.
Where I'm from ,Trinidad & Tobago, it's known as a Christmas drink - Sorrel!! Seperated just as you did then boiled & left to steep It's then stirred with Clove &/Bay leaves and agave to sweeten. .
I have always loved learning and homesteading! When I found you, I found the jackpot :) My journey has not been an easy one but has brought me to this point and for that I am thankful. At 66 my dream is to still have my own "Weedy Garden" and believe it will happen. God bless and thank you
Love this video totally. I dont have a garden personally but have been offered to use part of garden belonging to a dear friend. Growing your own plants for medicine and food/tea is just amazing. This is enpowering and responsible i feel. Mother nature's way.
Where I live (northeastern United States) mullein grows absolutely EVERYWHERE. I've always known it to be good for the lungs but never processed it myself. The stalk, once dried and trimmed, makes an excellent tool for starting fires. I'm not sure how to describe it but it's the method of rubbing or spinning it back and forth in your hands while simultaneously pressing down on it while it rests on a small plank of wood, typically cedar or pine works best. The friction from this motion is hot enough to light tinder which can then be used to start your fire
3:13 love this, and mullen! The basis of all my smoking blends. Usually when trying to taper off of tobacco, we recommend starting in halves. Half herbs half tobacco and then as you're ready you taper off to another half doing a quarter tobacco working your way down to a level that satiates your desire to smoke, well allowing you to go off the nicotine at your own pace
FaNtastic David, I'm so glad you covered herb plants for medicine...as always your poddies are a fascinating adventure into our best friend - nature. Healing Herbs bring it on 🎉 Thankyou 🙏⚡️
Thanks, Weedy and Elle! I've just moved and i wanted some specialised gardens for medicinal herbs as opposed to kitchen herbs. This is a nice motivator.
Greetings from the woods of rural North Carolina, USA! Although I’m Native American, most of the knowledge of using plants and herbs has been prohibited and squashed, thanks to John d Rockefeller. I moved back to my hometown after spending my adult life in the city and I’m trying to learn. I found Nicole Apelian and her ‘weed’ book that’s a great help. Thank you for sharing. I just found you this morning.
Thanks WG .. We totally luved this brill episode 😁.. Given us even more inspiration brother.. Would luv an update on the passion flower if you dried some 🍀☺️😉. Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers
Weedy you just breathed life into a subject I love but didn’t understand fully! I can see it all , how can I thank you enough. The Euc. grandis in background are majestic
Lol. Was that a question? Ahhh. The answer would be to just press the “thanks” button under the video and see what feels right for you. That would be the best way and it would be felt 🤗🎥🫵🏻
Wonderful production values and content with calming ambient music - doing the "Greater Good" in the world. Blessings and thanks from the Great Sonoran Desert, USA.
Excellent video! This is the first video of yours that I have ever watched and I was so impressed that I subscribed. Thank you for the great content. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time/energy to make this video and for sharing it.
@valkeriejones3818 that's exciting. Im in Oklahoma, and I got the seeds but the package says that it doesnt do well in heat. Im concerned because it gets super hot and humid here.
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your video very informative. I am new to growing anything actually and I am grateful for any and all information I can find. Again thank you enjoy your day.
It was the first video I ever watched on this channel! Thank you very much for this wonderful and informative work full of wisdom. I took notes on an A4 page :) I listened to everything carefully, I must immediately look for other videos and continue my deep research on this subject. Thank you again, greetings from Germany!
Thanks for such a wonderful video Weedy. I bought some different medicinal herbs from The Mudbrick Cottage to create a medicinal herb garden. I am very excited to get started. 😊🌱
Your creations are amazing and full of knowledge. and has value in living life Including the ecosystem, you live in harmony with the environment. Your life is worthwhile and your work is endlessly good and you create safe food to eat. You are a very beautiful and enviable life.
Hello fellow Australians what a brilliant video.. glad I found your channel.. I'm currently learning the benefits of herbs for my skincare line to teach a variety of classes.. thank you for this..
Thank you for taking the time to make this. I grow Chamaemelum nobile, Lavandula angustifolia, Hyssopus officinalis, Echinacea purpurea, and Mentha × piperita. Mostly for teas.
Hibiscus in Trinidad and Tobago we call it sorrel and we make juice by boiling and adding cinnamon, clove and sugar,it taste grate, what you guys do is wonderful and i am happy to know the different names, thank you
