I would like to also let you know that when my husband was being seen by a VA doctor he was prescribed with some medicines that we had questions about. VA has what they call medicine managers.(At least the 1 we go to) The one that we were assigned to said that it was a medicine they gave to everybody over a certain age. Yet we were concerned due to the fact all the triglycerides came back perfect. In turn they looked up at the ceiling and they mumbled, "I'm not supposed to say this." You don't have to take it and do your best to find herbal remedies. In turn they told us that while in school to become a pharmacist, they minored, in homeopathic medicines .👍

Prayerfully you have started your journey in herbalism. You'll be really amazed at the things you'll learn. As I have learned that what works for one person doesn't always work for another so you may have to try a few different methods. If you start making herbal teas you will have to work with those as to your personal taste because some herbs have a stronger taste than others and you may not like it so you'll want to use less. To me herbalism is a fantastic way of finding ways to self heal and stay healthy. I love Amy's apothecary cabinet. At the moment mine is stuck in a closed pantry. Enjoy your journey

Just found this this morning. Wish I had found you sooner. I have always been interested in herbalism of one sort or another. This past spring is when it hit me that I needed to really learn more about it. I by sheer chance found a patch of stinging nettle. When I attempted to pull it up with my bare hands that's when I found out what I had in my yard. This is what convinced me of the fact that I needed to do something. I have bad arthritis in one of my hands. Would stay stiff for days where I could barely move my fingers. For the next 24 hours I had free mobility of my entire hand.🙃 so in turn I started researching about stinging nettle(1st made nettle salve)This is what got me started in learning as much as I can. Like you said start with the bare necessities and work your way up as money comes in to add a little something more. Thank you for all that you do for the community.

But of course I do not want to make mistakes in this, I will continue to check out your video;a and if there is a good place to start for our health issues to learn if you could point me to it that would be wonderful.

Something clicks in this. Maybe it has something to the way that the herbalist who are wanting to help us learn, TEACH) I wish I had started sooner. I'm fairly new to this but I'll tell you there's a lot to learn but I'm enjoying it and it will keep you on your toes mindwise.

@ Marsha Dufresne At 69 with time free to learn, I'm actually finding "old" is better for all this research. Herbs, growing & preserving food, solar energy, all the DIY people are so generous with on KZbin. It IS a lot to take in! I keep separate notebooks handy - health, growing, energy and try a new thing maybe twice a week. Heart issues -- been there! First my husband lived 23 years till 2014 after serious h.a. -- I learned to replicate what he liked to eat in a heart healthful version. But after 2014 I let influences get me eating the wrong stuff. Jan. 2019 I had a nearly blocked artery, "inverted t" on ECG, & resolved it 100% DIY. No meds, said nothing to doctor (the ECG was while applying to be a lab rat for a drug testing study). Soluble fiber to clear vessels - oatmeal, barley, pectin (in apple skin), etc., Little processed food, just lost interest in chips, ice cream, beef/pork. After 3 mos. a routine check-up, doctor smiling, "All your numbers are better!" Dec. 2020 ECG good. Found out studies show 80% or more of heart mortality from "lifestyle", mostly what we eat. The processed & fast foods industry uses us for profit, then health care industry makes money later off the results! So I've been there. Older than you, I'm plowing through info + succeeding, So you can see it's both worth doing & possible. A woman older than you, alone & little money is (slowly & imperfectly) getting results in some areas.

There are 8, I dont want to monopolize your time so if this is something you cover in your book please let me know so I can look it up later. I did purchase your book but...its in storage now as I am moving soon. Thanks so much for your time I really appreciate it. 1. Is there a way to make tinctures kid friendly? 2. When making the tinctures with 1 oz of herb to 5 oz of vodka I did notice that the herbs were not covered fully. Do I simply just add more vodka? 3. I would like to make single-use tinctures and then combine them later. when needed. What is the best way to approach this? 4. Can I combine both fresh and dry herbs together when making tinctures? 5. You said that I can use olive, cocnut, and almond oils for a simple topical ointment. Super, but...how long does it stay in the oil to infuse? 6. You said for a cough syrup I can use Just water sugar, honey and herbs. What would be the length of the infusion and dosage? This one sounds great for kids. 7. How do you feel about Wine and honey used as an infuser for a tincture. 8. When combining herbs to make a tincture such as pain reliever, happy heart or happy brain how many different combos of herbs is best?

Couldn't you use a French press to drain you tinctures?
@daniby98942 жыл бұрын
I think it can be helpful in draining herbs from liquid component in some cases, or you could drain the most of it that way and eventually filter the liquid one more time with multiple layers of gauze or cheese clothes if necessary. The only thing that you should keep in mind is that some ingredients may "ruin" your french press becouse the plastic components might absorb herbal scents aspecially if your draining alcoholic solutions or strong oleolites (infused herbs in oils) so you couldn't use it for coffie making any more. Nowdays we make perfume with alcohol, but in the past it was made with oils, so it can be as filtering a perfume in your french press... If you don't want that to happen, use it only to drain herbs in water solutions and you can always buy a cheap french press that you can use just for filtering herbs.

Any- loved ya girl since before I even knew what ya looked like. Heidi from Rain Country spoke of you often and recommended your herbal companion book WHICH I wasn’t long getting 👍. I’ve made calendula and plantain salves for years which only pushed me deeper. 😄 Your book answered a lot of questions on some herbs medicinal use- one can google BUT learning from one whose used the herbs opppsed to writing only what ya studied and put on google - big difference. I’m a small based homestead but can’t shake the GET TWO GOATS thing 😄. Just a BIG thank you for sharing AND for the book. Thanks to Heidi at Rain Country making mention of you. She’s an absolute angel 😇

This is my first year growing my own herbs for medicine. I plan on growing: echinacea, marshmallow, St John's wort and a few others. How many of each should I grow?
@ajalicea1091 Жыл бұрын
Noone, when I planted my echinacea I had five or six plants starting off. Once you get the hang of it then you can add more if that's what you need. In fact I need more Echinacea and marshmallow.

Hey Amy, thanks for all the information and wonderful videos even though I don't have time for any of these right now I will sometime in the future and will start these recipes ect

You could start by purchasing items that you would need now. Then when you get closer to where you have the time to make you will have your supplies on hand. The items that would spoil or go bad you buy at the last moment, IE: oils

I’ve never really thought a lot about using herbs, but this is very interesting. It makes me think I should change my mind. Herbs were given by God for our use. I can see that they would be a lot better idea than some pharmaceuticals. Two things that I wonder about from your storage: how will you keep your little one out of the tinctures that could be dangerous for him, shouldn’t the herbs be only stored in dark containers?

The bottom cabinet locks. The herbs I don’t use regularly stay in a dark space 😉
