Thank you 😊
I'm so happy to see you're living free! Thank you for teaching herbal medicine and planting by the moon! Be the change you want to see! 🪻🌿
Thank you so much!!
Thank you!!!
Oooooh
Mullen Seeds….respiratory Tulsi…regulate Lemon Balm…digestive issues Passion Flower…anxiety/ADHD Hibiscus(rosella)…high source of iron.
Very good
Lemon balm in a tincture is good for anxiety also
Thank you mate, appreciate the copy friendly list!
Mullein tincture cured my life long asthma. When I get a cold, I use daily and nips it quickly.
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
Hey girl :-) It is the most popular video out of my last ten, so that` a good sign. Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us 🙂
Amazing information. Can I ask is there any links to scientific studies on these herbs that confirm the medicinal benefits outlined?
Thank you Elle!
Thank you both 🌺
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 🌱
Evidently, making videos about growing plants, is more profitable than actually growing and selling the plants.
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.
Wonderful! I adore medicinal herbs. I grow 37 of them, always adding more. My favorites are yarrow, chamomile, dandelion, echinacea, yellow dock, and plantain.
Wow. That`s a lota herbs!
Yarrow is one of my favourites as well, it’s definitely in my top ten. Xx
@@Australian_Medicinal_Herbs Are all colors of Yarrow medicinal? What do you sue it for exactly? Thank you!
Do u have a KZhead channel?

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.
Thanks herb master 😊 🧚🏻♀️
Waahwoh, so great having such information. Have you written any works on plants and spiritual uses?
How would somebody in America get your teas? I lived in Germany for a while and fell in love with hibiscus tea. Thanks from North Carolina, USA.
I live in a humid area and Mullein grows all over my land.
I live in Arkansas and every summer in the north half of the state it grows along roadsides in rocky areas
@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.
God thought of EVERYTHING ❤ Thanks Weedy!
100 likes and I’ll quit rapping
Just quit anyways bro and get a job rapping ain't shit
WE NEED MORE LIKES IN HERE NOW!!!
Was it worth it
Nah Bro keep working
My favorite things in life are growing herbs and foraging for them. Thank you for this beautiful video ❤
Very educational. We need to be independent from those who are just interested in getting profits rather than make people healthy!
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'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 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.
Just search the latin name with "clinical study"
You need a professor
Watching the video is a medicinal herb for the mind. 😊. ✌🏾❤️🇰🇪🇦🇺
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. ❤
You are so welcome Nolene, I’m glad you have enjoyed it and found it useful xx
The hibiscus, we call that sorrell in Trinidad. We make juice with it. It is really popular around Christmas time.
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
great info
Its called a bow drill fire!
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 🤗🎥🫵🏻
Your content and channel are gems. Please never stop.
The more people you tell about the channel, the longer I can do it 🙂
Wonderful presentation and truth of God’s creation. Psalms 104:14
My mullien has been growing and reseeding for 4 years.❤❤❤
Lovely 😊 Growing medicinal herbs is another way to add your self reliance repertoire.
Absolutely!
Self and community reliance. It’s lovely to share your abundance and medicine with family, friends and wider community xx
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!
Thanks. Yeah, try it every day for a week or two.
@@TheWeedyGarden will do.
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.
welcome 👍
I drink a Tulsi, Lemonbalm, Hibiscus tea every morning. I didn't even know it did anything special, just picked it up one day and thought it tasted good!
You might want to do a little research brother. These herbs ARE medicine. Suggest you grab the free Ebook as there is a little bit of info there to get you started. Some teas are not great to have every day 🤔😳
Mullein is an invasive in my region. No need to grow it for me. Just go for walks and harvest.
I need to go where you live
Same, I’m in Ohio and mullein is around even through winter. It’s incredibly resilient and highly medicinal.
mullein worked way better than anything OTC for my symptoms when I had the CV19.., I am immune compromised and have rare liver autoimmune disorder and asthma and had a collapsed lung previously from pneumonia so I was concerned about the potential of the C19 to make me very ill. Mullein got me thru those 2 weeks..
Mullen, is all around here, the Indians used to crush the seeds and throw the seeds into ponds. It creates a neurotoxin that makes fish rise to the top. It's illegal to fish like this in Michigan, so
Awesome. Exactly the kind of info I’ve been looking for. Ive subscribed to Elle’s channel too. Great work as always.
this relaxing video makes me happy and excited 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video Weedy. Maypops grow wild here in the Southern U.S. we used to pop them open as kids when they were green because they would make a "pop" sound. I didn't know they were used as a medicinal herb, or that they were good for sleeping regulation. Thanks!
Thankyou so much, we need more people to start growing there own medical herbs and plants.
Awesome episode! Have been meaning to get some Mullein for awhile.
Love this video on sustainability. Food and medicine should be in every garden.
I grow many Medicinal Herbs here where I live in Victoria, B.C. Canada. It's so location specific regarding the herbs. For here, Lemon Balm spreads like crazy. It's all over the yard, and volunteers extensively. (Agreed, it's not as bad as Mint :-)) For me Passion Flower has been a bit finicky and has died after only a year or two for unknown reasons. I did a bit better with it when it was in Sandy soil and could access a large water reservoir for it's water. I've also had Mullein grow like a weed in Sandy soil, but disappear unexpectedly in a clay based soil garden. I WISH I could grow Hibiscus. I have tried and I understand it to be somewhat finicky-perhaps not in your area. :-) Beautiful Garden, Beautiful Plants! Thank you for sharing such a valuable resource!
I live in the rainforest, our Mullen is very happy. ❤ Love the weedy garden😁
Is that Amazon? 🙈😂
I've been growing ingredients for my own chai , and seeing tulsi getting it's spotlight really made my day ❤
Oooh, let's have a recipe!
Another fab vlog Weedy 😊🙏🤗
The way she just described depression was very tame. I shall grow lemon balm
This is a grand video. Thank you to Elle for sharing the knowledge
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. 😊🌱
It's my dream to start an herb garden someday. Thank you for the wonderful advice!
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.
Still in the middle of watching this video - I cant tell you how many times I've replayed the reverse herb drop portion @ 1:45 - its just beautifully done!
Thank you Weedy this is the best Video on Medicinal plants Thank you So Much Elle Jackie in Florida USA ❤
Interesting and very doable for a plant killer like me
5 minutes in and I bought myself some mullein tea 😅 thanks!! Sending love from Canada ❤❤
I love the name you chose and your animated expression of this video. I dwn loaded it, so I see it anywhere anytime. Sometimes, I take in too much input, and the information doesn't stay. A new fan in Central East Texas temporarily ("
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.
Accordian is nice at end ❤
Can’t wait to have my own garden one day
Cheers from the USA. As a fellow grower, it is so nice of you to share. Sipping on Black Ginko Tea now. I often start the day off with Black tea and honey with saffron threads. Let's get cooking.
I've found that 50%+ of weeds in any yard are medicinal in some way.
I'm learning that *quickly from my Indiana yard & woods. I've been killing the best stuff for yeeears... Luckily the weeds grow like weeds😂 and I still have plenty!
Yes!! Nicole Apelian, PhD has a book on the subject and it’s not expensive and it’s in color. She got herself out of the wheelchair when big Pharma couldn’t.
@@carter_1yeah don’t kill the dandelions!!!
I know !! ~~ Isn't it awesome !!! ❕🌿🦎🤍🌱🤍🌱🌱🌱
Maypop is native where I live but I didn't know it's medicinal. Thank you for the education!
Pushing that algortithm of course. Also, big big gratidute to you, Weedy, learning a lot everyday. Jah bless
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.
Mullein tincture has cured my bronchial asthma triggers. I haven't had a trigger in a year! It is life changing.
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 🙏⚡️
0:11 minute in the video and I already SUBSCRIBED. Why? Because your background music is fine, your voice is trustworthy and you have a calm energy in you. Love it! 🙂Thank you so much
Oh…Thanks😊. pleasure is mine 🦍
Thankyou Elle and Weedy. This was very informative and nice to view.
An Excellent! service to society
Not only the content but the production is amazing! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Loved this vid. I now need to add a couple of new herbs to our herb garden. 💚💚💚
Careful of maypops / passionflower. I've had one growing up the front of my house for years and for many years all was well. Then one year I cut it back in bright sunshine and wherever it touched my skin it left big burn blisters that took a couple of months to clear + a couple of years for the marks they left to fade. Since then, if even a tendril of the plant touches me, the skin near the place it touched turns bright red. My children (well covered with protective clothing) now cut it back for me. I love the plant, so am loathe to get rid of it.
That is so interesting, Thankyou for letting everyone know your experience. I harvest by hand and have had no issue but that is important to know that people may have sensitivities to it, thanks.
Amazing and beautifully stylized video with great information. Well done and thank you for creating it. Much love ❤
Love your videos David. You definitely have an eye for photography. Thanks for the video about these five herbs
Glad you like them!
Thanks for sharing 🌿😊
Your videos are a muse to the ear, a meditation to the soul and an inspiration to the body. Thank you, keep them coming :D
Thank you to both of you for sharing all this wonderful information. I'm also creating my very own edible and medicinal plant sanctuary with all kinds of spontaneous plants. I pick them up wherever I see them in the wild and bring them here. I have not yet seen holy basil and I probably wouldn't recognize it if I did. I was also a little bit mixed up with the passion flower. I have a wild version of passion fruit that produces bluish purple flowers and then an orange egg-sized fruit with a red interior. I don't know if this is the same one that is shown on this video.
Thanks, Weedy.
So inspiring! Always love your content weedy
🐝Thanks for the great video🌻
More excellent information thanks Man 👍
Love this! Regenerative organic herb herb growing is on my to do list, right after I buy a property…
