Always smart and beautiful, GOD BLESS 😇🌷🇺🇸☕
Mornin' hun.
I thought we had Yarrow in my sisters yard, but the plant ID said Feverfew. Looks just like Yarrow
I thought it was called Valerian. They look the same to me.
I can't wait to bring my new kitty home in about three weeks. She is all white, with spots like a Dalmatian and a black mask around her eyes! I discovered why my other cat can ignore or hear me so well; apparently, she has 32 individual muscles per ear.
I transplanted some wild lettuce into my yard garden. So far so good!
“They” have always been about destroying supplements to advance their control.😡 I bet it’s even more important to them now. Thanks for all the info Kaye. Such a beautiful plant. I have Stephen Harrod Buhner’s book, “Herbal Antivirals” and want to get his book “Herbal Antibiotics”. Packed with information. Was that a pink poppy near the yarrow, or a cosmos?💚👏
Once you have Yarrow, you'll always have Yarrow. LOL I transplanted ONE root a couple years back. I now have a HUGE patch of it. And it's now starting to grow up randomly. EVERYWHERE. It's like Holy Basil (Tulsi). Once it's there it will always be there. I'm happy to have both Yarrow and Tulsi all over the place. Love the kitties!!!
EDIT: I have got a nice library going on all types of Herbal Medicine. It has certainly been an adventure. I just recently added a couple books from Dr. A.B. Howard. I had to print both books from a PDF because they are out of print. I have an old printer that came through like a champ. I put it all in page protectors and then into spiral ring notebooks. Thrift Books is also a great place to get used copies of amazing books on Herbs and Herbal Medicine.
I'd love to see more videos on this!!
I have that Yarrow too. Live it.
Good Morning Kaye – We all need to learn this lost art and skill to make our own medicines. I used to have some yellow yarrow in my yard but I think only the white and pink varieties can be used medicinally. Need to research if you are on blood thinners as this might not be the herb for you due to it's clotting properties. Wishing you a blessed day and week ahead..
Please do more medicinal plants.
I would to see more medicinal herb videos.
Yes, very interested in herbal medicine, more videos please, thank you for your time and knowledge 😊
Good morning Kaye:
As always, thank you for the very informative videos. Also, for mentioning about our Canadian governments plan to limit and ban natural supplements. I was not aware of this. I looked up Bill C-47 which is now in effect and it is most definitely onerous and draconian. The new regulations deal with tax amendments and inflationary control measues among other things. The herbal remedies part was thrown in as part of this bill without any public consultation. Part of these amendments, at the discretion of the powers to be, will require herbal remedy manufacturers to go through the same exhaustive testing as is the case with drug manufacturing companies. (We've seen how well that works. Thalidomide comes to mind). There's much more to this, however said, the rules are very loose and open ended and subject to changes and additions by "Order in Council ", which means no public consultation, at any time as they see fit. It's going to become prohibitively expensive for natural supplements manufacturers to market their products, and they'll more or less be legislated out of business. This bill has the full backing of the pharmaceutical companies, no surprise there. They cannot have people running around thinking for themselves and taking personal responsibility for their own health, especially if it cuts into their profits. Again, more of our freedoms being stripped away from us.
Thank you for stepping up and doing what you do and sharing the knowledge you've garnered over the years with everyone. Greatly appreciated.
(Also, got a kick out of the sparing match between the cats as you were doing your video. Hilarious!)
All the best!
I have more than 100 yarrow plants growing in my driveway, front and back, in a dirt and stone driveway. I also have comfrey as tall as me taken up 2 yards. Also Valerian thats 8' tall everywhere
Absolutely Kaye! They would love to end natural, medicine and supplements. Keeps “ big pharmaceutical “from profiting!! they love keeping Americans, sick.. 😕
I love yarrow. Thank you for this video, great and necessary information ! Beautifully shot. And YES, more herb videos!
God bless you, my friend, love you!
Hi, Kaye! New follower and enjoy your content but disappointed in a couple of things you claim that are untrue/inaccurate.
My in laws are French. They never had their internet shut down and the French government has never made threats or even discussed shutting the internet down.
I am Canadian and live in Canada. I am a budding naturopath and runs in my family. The Canadian government has no interest of banning supplements and banning/shutting down naturopath clinic/practitioners. The federal government is hoping to strengthen its regulatory power over natural health products, such as vitamins and homeopathic medicines.
The federal budget proposes amending the Food and Drugs Act to extend powers by the Protecting Canadians from Unsafe Drugs Act (also known as Vanessa’s Law) to natural health products. Their reasoning is that these changes would protect the health of Canadians by enabling regulators to take stronger action when health or safety issues are identified with natural health products on the market. There is no mention of banning or shutting anything down in Canada.
Ridiculous about banning supplements. I hope that doesn’t happen but nothing surprises me anymore.
Hi Kate,
Where is Patch? Haven’t seen her in the videos or you talking about her. Hope all is well. ❤
Loved this! I need to get to work now on my yarrow patch that is absolutely beautiful but also medicinal! Thanks for this and I love watching the kitties! I’ve got 6 kitties myself and they are all special with their own personalities!
I was able to watch this video at the perfect time. It’s a cool day in Columbia Falls MT and I’m planning on harvesting some yarrow. Wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I know. Thank you for sharing and teaching. Well off to harvest Yarrow. Thanks again.
Yes, please. Any videos on herbal medicine , tinctures will be helpful. I've begun making tinctures. I believe I started in the fall. I'm doing extracts also. I got 10 half pints of cowboy candy last night, plus a large jar of the brine left. I waterbathed it along with the candy. When I have jalapeños, I'll have enough brine ready for several jars!! I finally found a rosemary plant and still payed a terrible price!! I got it planted and watered in just before a storm. I hope it does well. Now I need to find some spearmint. When I trim my Lantanas back, I transplant them over my yard. I did 2 different places last year and they are looking well. I try to plant native, that don't require a ton of water.
Enjoyed every minute.
Loved this, Kaye! My yarrow transplanted easily in fall here in Arkansas. I have dried some yarrow and feverfew just in case. Currently harvesting echinacea flowers, dont have enough to get roots yet. Mimosa tincuring now, along with lemon balm, tulsi, and chamomile. I grew all from seed except the mimosa.
I finally caught up with your videos!!!! ❤
Looks like poisonous hemlock….
To my knowledge its just the FDA wanting to regulate some not all herbal suppliments. Im aware it came from misconnection ie. people on blood thinners, going to a herbalist asking for help and being selective with their history to the herbalist. Then after a blood thinner naturally made is given plus the warfarin for example – the person dies and the families are trying to sue local health depts. over the unregulation. SO its not a total stop, but a ensuring your herbalist, naturaopath and herbal medicine giver is properly trained, and regulated same for the companies making suppliments to ensure they actually put in what they say they put in to a capulet. Sadly the bad actions of few disrupt the good actions of the many! Re: internet absolutely make notes and keep books!!! so important – Herbal medicine is so so important. re. yarrow be mindful if your already on a blood thinner medication as it can mess up blood results if your getting your bloods checked. just a fyi. I also use yarrow inmy cough syrups! Perfect with raspberry and honey and apple cider vinegar as an oxymel! handy for summer colds and flus
I'm going to have to see if we have some of that along the edges of our yard. I did make the wild lettuce tincture today. How long do I let it go before straining it?
I didnt know they might ban supplements!! all of this is so sad. thank you Kaye
Need more books.
I learned herbalism 50 yrs. Ago. Never too old or too smart to still learn. I see by your videos you have a character like my own. I have done some things you probably won't find in a book.
I also wanted to enlighten, those who make tinctures, and herbal oil are supposed to start on a new moon and end on a full moon.
