This video was so informative. I have been low in vitamin D for over 15 years. The highest my levels got was a 27. I do eat meat. In the last couple of years I took vitamin D with K2 and my last check up my vitamin D was 77!!!

[@sheisofthewoods]

Yup, K2 is horrendously overlooked! I bet you had rock bottom levels for all of those years and not a single Dr ever checked 😞

[@msannieem11]

@@sheisofthewoods you are correct. When my doctor first checked my levels of vitamin D, I was at 13.

I believe rosacea is gut health related. I quit drinking the heavy amount i was and started adding in probiotics. My face cleared up... i truly believe it's related to gut health.

[@sheisofthewoods]

Gut health is always a factor in health but also... you quit drinking... which means your liver is beginning to heal.

What do you think of Natto? It's supposed to be a really good source of K2 if you can get past the smell.😁

Meh, any fermented food will have the same amount of K2 but won't be made with soy which contributes to estrogen dominance and acts as food to cancer.

Hey April, thanks for all your knowledge QUESTION..what’s the best time to harvest/use yarrow? I have so much, but am in winter here in Australia and of course it’s not blooming, but I want to use it, is it worth it? Or do I need to wait? Thanks😊

[@MelissaWillard-w3u]

I use fresh for tinctures... Dry leaves and flowers for salves, teas, and infusion...never enough

[@sheisofthewoods]

You can use the green leaves in winter for tincturing and blooms come summer make a really great tincture 😊

[@100kazzzaa]

Thank you 🙂

[@saia2205ify]

Love your knowledge and advice April. Been a follower for a long time. Question. Im slowly cutting down on my alcohol. I need to quit. 63 yr old. Fatty liver, COPD, NHL fought 3x, .. anyways. I have trouble sleeping. Anxiety dreams. I park my car and "looking" all.night. long. To find my car. Or im detangling a chain..all.night.long. during day im fine. I just came across mimosa trees. I harvested the blooms,( inch worms love them), and some bark to dehydrate. Is it just the outter bark that is used? Any benefits to chewing on inner bark as i cut outter, or is that too much?

[@sheisofthewoods]

I don't have a ton of knowledge on mimosa bark wise just because she doesn't grow here but I know the blooms themselves are fantastic as a tea for nervous system regulation. Also, make sure you're eating a ton of whole food carbohydrates like fruits/roots because without drinking you're cutting back on carbs and you will crave alcohol more because that's the carbs I knows to ask for💚 Oh, also, all thing's B12 since drinking depletes it rapidly ☺️

[@tmottobnwva]

Oh April! The mimosa trees are in full bloom here in Tennessee. I was going to ask you on Friday what they were good for so thanks for the answer.

Please what is your opinion on Dong Quai? I took it for about a week and my breast has become SUPER sore even hurt when I walk. Is that normal, is that a con or a pro until my body get use to it?

[@sheisofthewoods]

Definitely stop using her if you're having breast pain, it's a symptom of way too much estrogen being stimulated and can cause a lot of damage. Can I ask what you were using her for?

[@LaydeeKye]

​@@sheisofthewoods I was taking it because after my menstrual cycle I have overwhelming weakness and during my cycle my feet and lower back hurt. I might be premenopausal and I read it helps rebuild your hemoglobin.

Talking of the sun April have you ever considered making a natural sun cream/block?

[@sheisofthewoods]

Nope, sunblock is classified as a medicated cosmetic and actually requires clinical trials to be approved for market. So not really worth the huge amounts of money I don't have 🤣

[@mateenzaki]

Ok l get that and it makes sense. Would you then recommend any natural herbs or natural means of protecting your skin from the sun. For instance does aloe vera give any degree of protection?

April I was wondering if we could come up with a salve for the chronic UTI? At 71 years old here still at it since 2019, what am I missing I need help. I do raise herbs and use them all the time and I make tinctures and drink the UTI TEAS I'm at my wits end here and need help to figure this out. Let me tell you when you younger ladies get to be in your late 50s and it hits it is not fun. 1000s are crying out I know I keep asking so sorry I need help as many do and I feel it is going to be the herbalist who figure it out. The medical field is into managing not healing in so many sickness's. So what about an herbal salve that will not go through our liver and stay in the vagenal area.

[@sheisofthewoods]

You need all things L Gasseri probiotic/make your own L Gasseri yogurt. It colonizes the urinary tract and it's often missing when we have chronic UTIs.

[@mizzkathryn7]

@@sheisofthewoods I make my own yogurt and sauerkraut. I do take probiotics. I'm taking D Mannoes the uqora kind and cranberry with D Mannoes I alternate these two doing each one every other day. I also grow my own herbs for drying to make teas and tinctures. I'm using a source natural estrogen cream three days a week too. Women are taking antibiotics for up to 9 months some women get better some do not. Can you believe that!! omg, again what are we missing here. That's why I said maybe a herbal salve my brain is so tired. I am not on any medications of any kind only herbs even for my CLL cancer since 2019 I'm doing really well there my white blood is very low still.
