Burdock - upgrade your Vegetable Meat

[@PawtoothAsheville]

Love it! Burdock is a true ally. Thanks for your perspective on this potent medicinal gift. Always watching, always learning.

[@Valarium1]

I love your videos keep emm coming. Just one thing, please dont go after effects crazy in the future i am having a tough time seeing the exact structure of the plants etc. Plus the valiumized polka music in the background is very loud. I repeat I love the vids.

[@nrsrchd]

Yes the music can be distracting to us old folks.

[@melodytenisch6232]

You're amazing young man! So thrilled to learn from you; deep gratitude for sharing your knowledge! I live in northwest WA state and want to learn about foraging all the incredible, edible bounty our wilderness areas provide. Thank you! Grandma in WA state🙏💖👵🌲☔

[@wisconsinfarmer4742]

When those thick deep roots decay, they provide vertical earthworm highways.

[@Herbal_Jedi]

I love that thought... lol "Earthworm highways" :)

[@springmanju7512]

you are fun and filled w/ herbal knowledge.. thanks for all that you share

[@wildcatgrljulie63]

Thanks for the good video! I have a lot of Burdock growing wild in my backyard. I need to harvest the roots and eat the leaves & stems. I felt guilty trimming them & throwing the leaves away. They are beautiful plants!

[@bluegreenworld333]

Try a leaf

[@jodi578]

Thank You for sharing that Burdock can be eaten so freely - I have been letting them grow around our Organic property but hadn't yet figured out how freely I could use them. I had this idea to use them in place of water chestnuts for Asian dishes - Now I will Venture out and do just that !

[@smallfootprint2961]

It's been a long time since I've had any Burdock Root. Gotta find me some Burdock. Thanks for the great video. I learned a lot. I subbed and a very big thumbs up. Yay!

[@entrepreneursfinest]

Burdock, yellow dock, and goldenrod used together is a strong cleanse. Burdock and dock should always be coupled with goldenrod though to avoid calcium crystals from forming in the kidneys.

[@bluegreenworld333]

Should we not eat roots?

[@beachbomgurl]

Awesome Video! One issue I had though was that the music was drowning your voice out just slightly.

[@WeAreAllOneNature]

I'm surprised he didn't say what months of the year are best to harvest the roots. Also, why didn't he describe the taste of the roots, stems and seeds?

[@davehendricks4824]

Always one person with an issue. How about just enjoying the video?

[@paolaromanelli3688]

@@WeAreAllOneNature you pick roots early spring …or fall that is the rule

[@sunroom7]

Yes. Agree. Please leave the music out. I want to hear Yarrow.....and if he could speak slower please. Really hard to follow. But he knows his stuff.

[@wilmacambata1036]

Thank you so much for this video on burdock. I have so much in my back yard and will be making good use of it.

[@michaelmonaghan9226]

I think your videos are some of the best here! Keep em coming.

[@esmenewton5673]

Hi i love lots of your videos, i really wanted to watch this, sadly the 'special effects' hurt my eyes and i now have a headache. please re-do this as i wanted to know more about burdock.

[@beebob1279]

As kids we were told to leave it alone and that the leaves were poisonous. Thanks for clearing this up

[@ConnorLKnox]

It can be confused with rhubarb which does have poisonous leaves.

[@bluegreenworld333]

The skill is in learning ti recognise burdock so take book out with you maybe or go with someone who knows, I love burdock

[@laurenbeckenthal1316]

Omg that plant is all over my gardens!!! It's super hard to get ride of! I know what I'm gong to be doing with it this year!!! So happy I found you!! I have psoriasis and I was told I need to cleanse my liver! Who knew it was in my yard all this time.. almost like a sign..! It has such deep roots the same plants come up each year in the same spots!!

[@spencerbunch]

Lauren.... I was thinking the same thing ; ) It's all over my garden too. Now I'm going to go out and use it!! I probably need it too. Who couldn't use something to clean their blood or liver.... most of us could : ) I hope it works for your psoriasis.

[@lilyli2460]

You can go to Chinese places such as Chinatown to buy Commercial grow Burdock. It taste much tender, much better. Chinese people use it to stir fry meat....

[@PawtoothAsheville]

I have heard many stories of the natural world and plant spirit growing to offer personal healing. Working with nature to create gardens based upon the needs of both the immediate area AND the needs of the humans working as facilitators is called Co-Creative gardening. Maechalle Small Wright has written books and taught about this. One story (cliff notes) was about a woman who read Maechelle's works and was striving to connect with the Devas to determine what and where to plant her next garden. Connecting with the Devas/spirits/knowingness on this particular plot of land (by ways the Herbal Jedi discusses) and using kinesiology, she kept being told to grow mostly mustard plant. She was opposed, having her heart set on vegetables and herbs, but through Wright's instruction, gave in. It turns out, the next summer her daughter fell ill of a serious blood illness (apologies, I don't remember the dis-ease but that it was life threatening). She came to find that mustard would be a potent plant medicine ally for her daughter. Plants will come up in droves when we need to hear them. My first ally was dandelion. I was living with a person with HIV who had a bad run with hepatitis. His T-cells were low and his liver running into panic. I learned that dandelion root decoction was excellent for this and there just happened to be loads of it growing in our yard. I made a decoction he drank everyday and within a week was feeling better and in two weeks the hep was cleared.

[@rainlill3695]

I love to make creamy burdock root and potato soup.

[@4philipp]

And it’s everywhere. Food is all around us.

[@richardtolbert2745]

Thanks, I enjoyed your spirit and your teaching way. I have recently been learning the local medicinal plants. It seems most have been given a bad name as weeds and nucence plants. Thanks again for the inlightenment!

[@illiJomusic]

That's amazing that Shane Philip did you're video. sound like island life to me

You are one happy camper. Thank you

[@amydoll4954]

Thank you for these videos! Much love ♥

[@magnushomestead3824]

Thank you for your great presentations man. This one really connects with me as we have a lot of this plant growing right here on our property. I have sensed that it had a lot of strong presence and had known it was edible but not much about it's medicine. I have a lot of skin issues and as a metal smith, carver, digger in the dirt, etc. my hands are splitting open and I get all sorts of eczema and such. I will be digging some roots tomorrow!! Thanks again - Much Love, Magnus

[@bluegreenworld333]

Curious how your skin fared as I have a friend who has eczema?

[@Fiereflye]

This stuff was all over the place when I was growing up and always, always getting in my horse’s manes and tails. I hated it then! But I wasn’t into herbology at the time. Now I do have it growing on my property and have pulled it because it was always getting in the dog’s hair. I’ve known it has medicinal properties but never went to the trouble of trying to use this particular plant. Guess I’ve always had a thing about it because I hated the burrs! And whenever I picked the leaves, there’s always such a bitter taste on my fingers that lasts close to an hour and so I never even thought I’d want to eat the leaves!You’ve inspired me to do this especially since I see how easily you eat the roots like a carrot and I know it would benefit my health for sure! Love your videos. Much, much gratitude! 🙏🙏🙏

[@wannaseemedoatrick]

As an expiriment i pickled some at the same time as we pickled some other things. The result was delicious, but with an unappetizing waxy texture. I love this plant! I have worked with the seeds as a heavy, heavy detoxifier, harvested it with my children as a part of winter soups, and as a an element in some of my wife's herbal preparations.

[@Tribeshimalayas]

Thanks 🙏 for telling benefits of these plants

[@marazulization]

Amazing videos, thank you for the information! The soundtrack is great too!

[@1HorseOpenSlay]

It's strange that every medicinal plant has been deemed a noxious weed,and the city will tell you to poison them,or face a fine.

exactly what city is that?

@@standingbear998 ...but I don't.I just move my horses around and when they send the plant police I say,"see,my horses are clearing it out but I can't let them eat it all at once."and they go away😏

[@4godliv]

Our dock is a longer, curlier leaf which is good eating until the center seed stalk comes up. The dark brown seeds are good for grinding into a flour, No burrs but big long roots like that.

Thats golden dock. He is eating burdock

What about the seed pod when it starts to burst? Matthew wood talks about the shape and color and action. I'm cultivating a row with biochar to serious nutrient density. I believe the fresh pods before it's seed gives more for neck and crown effective attention

[@spencerbunch]

Great video.... I have it all over the back of my garden. I was thinking.... I sure wish I could get rid of it ; ) Now, after seeing your video....I think I will go out and use it, like you mentioned. I probably need it!! Thank you ; )

I’m thrilled to have found ur channel, I’ve not found another who gives as much details on the many varieties of the medicinal/wild edibles as u! I also love ur fun free spirit,! Could u tell me if the burdock has a lookalike? And do u have a book on all these wonderful plants??? I have a few, but give few details and pictures r not that great. I appreciate u for sharing ur knowledge!!! Thank u

[@karilangmyhr5534]

I love your videos but I can’t focus on what you are teaching with the music, which is wonderful but too loud. I don’t think we need music! We are here to learn from you about herbs and being able to focus is nice when we are watching you and listening to you.

[@vivienneclarke2421]

I usually don't mind,or say anything about it(on other channels,,this one is the first here thats bothered me)but since you brought it up......😄 it's a really nice song,but was distracting me too. Made it just a little bit too difficult to hear and concentrate!!

[@sulebo2153]

Is there not a way to edit videos after they are posted? I cannot even watch this past 1 minute - I'm ADHD and not only find the music distracting but unnerving.

[@ahamoments132]

Thank you, again, I keep saving your videos to watch again :) Will it grow from remnant root pieces, Yarrow, or is it not like a rhizomatous plant even remotely, just the one main root ? I don't have a forest of it, as I ordered it in.. I might need to let one go to seed, eh? :)

[@patriciacooper1308]

Digging roots like these is easier with a sharpened tree or trenching shovel. Trenching shovel also known in some places as a poaching shovel... 😎 Just an old woman who has lived in the woods for about an eon now. One of my mentors, an old man told me about poaching shovels years ago.

Do away with the music soundtrack and clean up your video from the light flashes. It takes away from the information you want to share.

[@AurelienCarnoy]

hello, can i cook the burdock leaves like spinach?ty

[@rawmark]

Aurélien Carnoy If they are young, the answer is yes. But if they're full grown, the answer is no. Full grown means the leaves are twice to three times the size of your hand.

[@AurelienCarnoy]

thank you, can you expand on it a little as to why. I make huge burrito with them with no apparent side effect.(one leaf a day) can you enlighten me, thank you. i love your video, very charming

[@rawmark]

Aurélien Carnoy Absolutely happy to expand. The younger leaves are sweeter and more tender then the older leaves. No other reason then that. They probably have more vitamin content too but the real star is the stalk and the root.

[@user-mx2sk8rl6s]

4:31 is an ironic choice of words, u describe your ancestory journey from Europe to BC and being everywhere generations later LOL. and I LAUGHED because I dated a guy you shared an ancestor with! HAHA He's from BC and in Ontario now XD it;s so funny. I was going to comment this 8 vids ago but thought, there's a 99.9% chance you'd assume I'm a troll or what have you, who could blame you? XD 3 videos in I thought you 2 were related, 4th vid, found out you're both from BC, this vid you express being from Europe (as is he) - and its no longer a coincidence that you two look alike, have the same hair, same beard growth type, and share an astonishing amount of similarities in path and mannerism. LOL HOW COOL!? the main difference in appearance is skin tone. I wonder if you 2 would see the resemblance in one another. Not that a stranger's word on a youtube post means much to most people these days, but I find ancestory very fascinating and I thought you might find this interesting LOL Anyways, Gonna ask him if he knows of a cousin Yarrow in BC, Maybe you're not even estranged yet quite familiar with one another. How cool, what a small world :p anyhow, have a nice day and thank you for the education. Much appreciated, aho and may the divines be with you

[@grantkeller8024]

Probably because plant ID is always withheld or very limited... (Unless you pay of coarse)

[@chrystalfizer9332]

I realize this video is old and your newer ones are probably shot much better but it's really hard to understand with the "old-timey" filter you are using. When dealing with plants it's important to know exactly what the plant looks like so I can recognize it. Between switching from black and white to sepia to over-exposed to whatever, I have no idea what the plant looks like.

[@Herbal_Jedi]

I agree, part of this was that our videographer was just learning and was experimenting with all sorts of filters. It would be great for us to shoot a new Burdock Video this year if we get the chance.
