Benefits of Woolly Lamb's Ear (Stachys Byzantina)

[@kathrynsoper247]

Woolly lambs ear was one of the first herbs I planted. Unbeknownst to me that it was an herb and had medicinal benefits. I am so grateful for you opening up my eyes to its benefits.

[@observationistdave]

Planted this two years ago for the idea of a natural bandage and was delighted that the bees love it. Chickens pick at it so I'm glad to hear it has anti-parasitic properties! Thanks for the video.

[@countrygalinthecity]

This is the one thing that I grabbed off my farm property before having to move back to town😢, after my husband left...so my channel is now "Country gal in the city"...lol. instead of Beulahlandhomesteadfarm.

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Nobody ever said a homestead had to be acres and acres. I'm right there with you too. Now that I'm 70, I'm grateful it's not acres!😄💜

[@countrygalinthecity]

@@trishthehomesteader9873 This is true...I just miss my chickens and goats..I did so much with my goats milk

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Wooly lambs’ ear has been in my garden for years and I had no idea of it’s benefits and uses! Thank you Heidi!

[@WateryTarty]

Thanks for this one Heidi. Had no idea it did that much. I put fresh wooly lambs ear into 70% rubbing alcohol…. Like a tincture. Strain it after 8 weeks and put it in a spray bottle. If I cut myself (usually slice myself with the rotary cutter) I clean the wound really well and then spray the wound. Then I put on a butterfly. It stops the bleeding and closes the wound. Had a 1” long cut last week (on my forefinger knuckle) that should have had stitches…..wound was completely healed in five days with barely a scar.

[@LavenderandLinen]

My chickens love snuggling down for an afternoon nap in the lambs ear!! Lol

[@bevfitzsimmonds3382]

Well, whaddayanno? I am growing this plant purely because l like the softness of the leaves, and l fell in love with it when l dicovered it in a garden of a house we rented when l was 12. I have to grow it in a hanging basket, under an evergreen tree canopy, so that the frost doesn't kill it in the winter: it will die back, but not actually die. On the other side of the tree, hang my herb baskets, with oregano and thyme. And l had no idea of lambs ears medicinal properties! Aaah, but God did! That's why it hangs near the other herbs...So, now that it's Autumn here, l had better harvest and dry some leaves, before it goes to sleep. Thankyou, Heidi! I learn something useful every time you share. Love, hugs and prayers. May God bless you and yours, and the work of your hands! ❤🫂✝️

I bought these seeds from your Etsy store back in 2019(?) and every year they grow back and spread- they’re awesome!🎉

[@happygranolamama5729]

I just added Wolly Lamb’s Ear to my garden last year and I knew a few of the benefits, but you have given me so much more information, thank you! 💕

[@nancygrogan6082]

I know this is off topic but, I just purchased my number 6 crochet thing and wool yarn. I’m so excited to get home and start your class! Thank you so much for everything you share with us.

[@dl4895]

I grew this at my old house but did not know it was also medicinal. I grew it for the softness, beauty and for the bees. I will be adding it to my garden this year to add to my teas. Thanks Heidi. God Bless

[@mooieplaats]

I will plant some in my garden. I like their colour and they last longer than roses. Thank you Heidi. Have a great day ❤😊❤

[@susanolson4486]

I’m so glad your video came up! I inherited our daughter’s flower garden with a medicinal garden in the front of it. The woolly lamb’s ear has taken over the medicinal garden and little ones are popping up all over the flower garden! I was just going to be getting rid of the whole thing! But, with this great information, you have saved it’s life! Haha! Thank you, Heidi!

[@palominogirl2732]

I love this plant - it's so soft, and I enjoy showing children just how wonderful it is - AND - LOL, I was, seriously, just out in my herb garden cleaning up last year's stems. It's March, in NY, but we have had many, many very nice days. No snow, not even much mud today....wierd weather.

[@amandaaskew7606]

Thanks, Heidi! I had no idea Wooly Lamb's Ear had medicinal properties, until my sister-in-law gave me a set of "medicinal herb seeds", and it was included in the set! I haven't taken the time to see exactly what it was food for, so thank you for doing the hard work!

[@darleneschreiber9415]

I think we have some of this growing...just didn't know all the good stuff about it! Thank you!!! Except for the fuzz, the flowers remind me of Self Heal. 😊

[@TheresaDarylsWife]

I started growing last year, and I probably got seeds from you.

[@margaloone7970]

This comes up wild in my yard. I just liked it. However now plan to dry it out and use in tea. Thanks for the video.

[@jojow8416]

Such a punch of beneficial properties in this pretty flower and leaf. I love this flower and did not realize it had benefits other than enjoying its unusual leaf and flower. Thank you and God Bless.

[@blessedbloominghomestead9134]

I had to look up dropsy, I had no idea what it was even though I remember my great grandmother saying it. I am going to try to switch my greenhouse over to herbs and starting seeds. My marshmallow hasn’t come back so far, so I’m pretty sure it won’t. I really appreciate all the information you provide on your herbal series. God Bless you always!

[@megmcginnis239]

I grow woody lambs ears...love it in the garden. Thank you for sharing its medicinal properties...love it even more.😊 Saw a lovely bumble bee pollinating our apricot tree before the last round of wind storms came through. Happy, happy...

I've been growing it for a couple of years now. I gave some away last year and it's now one of her favorite plants. She uses it for tea and that's what I plan on using it for. I just harvested a big bowl of it. It was a little patch last year but it grew.

[@Spmama444]

Oh I have an allergic reaction to a late bandaid so I might go pick the one in my yard/ I was going to plant MORE they are so petty and soft … now I absolutely need more on my garden!!!! Thank you

[@kleineroteHex]

I just made the hubby a mouthwash with it, mixed with yarrow and cloves and he thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread for some tooth infect that caused pain. Also increased vit C and he feels so much better😊

[@Cherishthamoment]

Really? How do you prepare the lams ear?

[@kleineroteHex]

@Cherishthamoment cut /tore it in smaller pieces and put everything in a pot, pored boiling water on and let it steep for ? 30 min or an hour? But as I think about it, a pint jar would be better, lid on and let it infuse over night might be better yet.

[@pats9055]

I used to grow. Going to get some again! Thank you!

[@chrismaryb.7409]

Thanks Heidi 😊❤❤

[@bradlafferty]

I finally got ahold of some Lambs Ear last year. Stuck it in the partial sun near the roof drain. This Spring it is growing like gangbusters! What an added thrill to know I can use it medicinally for some things! Thank you!

[@kleineroteHex]

Keep in mind it spreads, not a bad thing if you use a lot.

[@karenw9996]

Wooly Lambs Ear is a great way to get young children interested in the garden, because they love to rub its leaves. Just make sure you either have a lot of plants or you limit their rubbing,. I've seen plants seriously damaged, asked the person what was wrong with their plant because it had 'bare spots' on the leaves...yup, too much rubbing by little hands.

[@kleineroteHex]

This is the plant I introduced my oldest grandchild to when he was about 2 on one of our walks, I need to check if he remembers after 11 years😊

[@HeyHeyAlabama]

How do you use it as a bandage? I put it on a scratch I got working in the yard that was bleeding. It didn't want to stay in place or 'cling' to the skin, so I thought I had misunderstood about it. Should I chew it a little like plantain?

[@RainCountryHomestead]

You can use an old sock top to pull over it and hold in place or wrap with gauze or a reusable ace bandage

[@homesteadgamer1257]

With so many plants that grow in different regions but are similar not only in appearance but health properties, that's only more proof to me that we have a Heavenly Father. He knew that one day, humans would be so scattered around the world but would still need the same kind of medicines. Even more so that most plants serve as remedies to health problems that did not exist when Adam and Eve left Eden. There's no other explanation for how those plants knew to help with things like diabetes and cancers and high blood pressure or addition to drugs we only have in today's world other than an All-Knowing God, who has already authored all our lives, made them for us.

I love your advice. I have many ears of experience "listening to my body", in regards anything. It will tell me Yes, simply by yawning. This is a Common Response, when using Energy Corrections, Muscle Testing and Correcting Emotiona Trigger Statatements. It also works for a nearby person, where they do it and you Confirm when it is completed, by a yawn! An answer of No, gets no yawn... Anyway, i simply hold an item and Ask myself, "Is this going to Help me?" And then wait for response. I can take it farther, say i got a Yes, by asking "Will this Help my leg?". It is totally possible to Ask IF the herb/plant/tincture/tea/food should be Okay TO have twice a day? More? Once? Go until it stops giving a Yes. Very simple practise! And since no Muscle Testing is necessary? You can use it in a Store, in a car, anywhere, no embarrassment! No one can tell what you are doing! Lol I can use this TO Detect IF a soap will be bad for me. For checking a Used Item, for Evil ties from previous owner, all types of things! I do not use it that often, but it IS handy for new herbs! As i am picking them? I will know by holding....

It sounds like a poultice would make a better replacement for Tuck’s than witch hazel.

When you make tea, do you dry the leaves first, or do you use them straight off the plant?

Any time herbs are coming in fresh, I use them fresh but I dry a bunch up for the months they are not growing and use those for tea then
