Could YOU be a Herbalist?...5 Questions to Consider

[@chinookvalley]

My great Grandmother was a Cherokee Medicine Woman and my Irish Granddad was an herbalist. How could I not find my way to herbal medicine? It's in me bones! Love your thinking. I'm in my late 60's and so glad I followed my heart and soul. Your recipes and way of life are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks for sharing your story. What a lineage! Following heart and soul is the way to go! xx

[@RitaTortorello]

I love how Lol kept going back to Borage when he was filming. It makes my heart so glad to see it thriving in your garden.

[@micahlouise9539]

The first time I drank peppermint tea in the mid 70's when I was 16 years old it was a revelation. I grew up near Los Angeles in California, I had no contact with herbs before that other than dried spices in a tin. The first thing I did when I turned 18 was to move out of LA. The second thing I did was to find a place to rent where I could grow a garden. I have been doing it ever sense (now finally owning a home). I I worked as a graphic artist for an herbal/vitamin store for over four decades, I learned a lot, they had a library of books that I would sit and read for hours. I not only am interested in herbs it is a passion, an ever growing passion. I have so many different herbs growing in my garden, always adding more. I just harvested chamomile and mugwort. And I made a mead of roses and lemon balm. I love this channel, as much as I have studied there is always more to learn!!!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

What an interesting life. You are right, always more to learn xx

[@GimmeADream]

I don't know if you read these comments but I too had trouble growing echinacea purpurea from seed many years ago. I learned that if I put the seeds in the fridge or freezer for a few weeks and then sowed them in a flat with a plastic cover, they germinated and grew every time. A hint from PEI, Canada.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks for the tip! I will try that as I still have seeds somewhere xx

[@AnnettMcDavid]

Great video! I'm 56 and know now that I'm going to be an herbalist. I've been healed from a state where I was dying and after falling on deaf ears from doctors, I took my health into my own hands, using herbs, energy medicine and learned listening to my own body. All of the points you've made are in me - in fact, they have always been in me. I just didn't know it. So, again thank you for your video!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Good for you, go for it

[@gardentours]

My granny used to have books 📚 from herbalist 🌿 next to her bed and she enjoyed to read them and use their remedies. That's what I do now as well. I was shocked when I've heard that some of those books are going to be banned in the USA 🇺🇸 and even such content will not be shown on KZbin anymore. I hope that's not happening because I love to watch these channels 🌱

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

What???? Books are being banned in US? That's disgraceful. It's reminiscent of the Nazis burning books😡

[@venusgilley9964]

I am from the US and I have not heard of any herbal books being banned. Please list your sources !

[@sybilmitchell1465]

Thanks to Joe Biden and the left!

[@deanablythe9394]

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I believe this was what businesses and/or governments wanted with our supplements, so all supplement businesses now have to register each one, it took a while. This stopped supplements such as Red Clover from being banned, so maybe this is how they are approaching, herbalism now too. This is the first I have heard of it, but we need to make a noise for this not to happen.

[@lorrainem8234]

I live in the USA and I haven't heard anything about herb-related books being banned over here. That would be horrible!

[@pantheistengland3422]

People don't realise that a lot of medicines have derived from plants, but are now synthetically produced by drug companies. We all use plants without realising, dock for a nettle sting, honey and lemon for colds, chamomile to relax and help with sleep to name a few. The power of mother nature is amazing. So glad there are people like you Terri to inspire us to use them xx

[@Cronezonetarot]

I think your 5 points are bang on, Terri. I am a master herbalist and it enriches my life and helps me support the health of my family and friends. It grew naturally out of my love for plants. What's trickier though is if people want to make money from herbalism as there are very strict laws regulating the sale of home grown herbal products in the UK, maybe in Ireland too. I think it all comes down to why someone wants to follow this path. As you say, in many respects it is a birthright.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Tricky times alright! I think that if everyone got to know one plant they could see immense benefits to their health. xx

[@joiedevivre2005]

My maternal grandmother lived in the Appalachian Mountains & I would spend my summers with her. I now know she was what the Appalachians call a "granny witch". She had a deep connection to the land & nature. Although she never sat me down to teach me things, she managed to impart so much knowledge about herbs & nature as she went about her daily tasks with me in tow. I had forgotten it until she passed (after battling Alzheimer's for years) & I found her box of recipes that also contained little scribbled notecards with various herbal remedies. I started learning more about herbs & often, when a friend mentions they have a certain ailment, that part of my brain fires up & I think "hey - I know an herbal remedy for that" - almost as though my granny is whispering in my ear. I think that is why I enjoy your videos so much - you impart that same connection to the earth & natural wisdom that she did. Thank you so much for sharing that with us!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

That is wonderful! Hearing your grandmother whisper a remedy - or is just your own deep memories resurfacing? Or are they the same thing? So fascinating, our relationships with plants and ancestors xx

[@kestrelfeather]

I learned a great deal reading about Appalachian folk and how they used plants for medicine. Connecting to the earth is essential and so valuable not only for medicine but for living a balanced and healthy life.

[@kestrelfeather]

Thanks for your video. I find your five questions to be right on the mark. About fifty years ago, when I really started my plant medicine journey, it dawned on me that all the plants growing around us serve to treat all the ailments and illness that can and do afflict us. I have faith in plant medicine, where else does medicine come from?, using it for myself on a continuous basis. I do try to share my knowledge with other folk but it seems a lot of people poo poo the thought that plants can heal. It seems people today are sold on the idea that pharmaceuticals are the answer to all their ills. Of course we know that pharmaceuticals are not the healing compounds they are purported to be as so many pharmaceuticals have disastrous effects on a persons body. Modern doctors are always juggling drug prescriptions in an attempt to find some healing formula but in their efforts many people die from all the side effects of those dangerous artificially manufactured compounds. Plants on the other hand are much more forgiving in nature, however we need to know how to use plants as medicine since they too can be detrimental to a persons well-being and health. Some plants of course are poisonous so gaining knowledge about the herbs we use as medicine is critical. One of the things I learned to do many years ago, and still regularly do, is to ask to hear what plants have to tell us concerning medicine and human well-being. Listening to plants, intuitive medicine, is so important for herbalists to acknowledge and depend upon. Thank God for all the plants on this earth that are not only food but also important and healing medicine.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

So well said. I totally agree. Xx

[@tracyrupp4882]

Loved what you said about building a relationship with the plant beings. It's so important to ask them if you may harvest them, and then respecting their boundaries. Thank you so much for empowering more to be herbalists!!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I think it is so important - you are right. I hope this video does empower more people to become self-reliant xx

[@wallyfayewells]

I am always so happy after offering tinctures, salves and teas to family and friends -and having them return to me with an excited and amazed response about how they worked so well. It’s as if they think it’s complete magic and I’ve done some kind of spell to make them better 💕 I think we’re amazed at the wonder and healing of Mother Earth after too many generations of “forgetting”. Thank you, Terry for all that you contribute to my ability to help others.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Delighted to hear that - I hope there are many more of ye out there. xx

[@susannautterback6815]

All the boxes are checked…I grow my herbs myself. Wild herbs here in the US many times have been compromised due to the use of round up so I don’t trust what is in the wild. Growing my herbs and using them brings me such joy. I have learned many things from you Terri concerning this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Blessings ❤️

Oh this video is perfect! Since becoming disabled I can barely walk or even see well enough to read anymore but I managed to continue caring for my precious plants and my connection to them is so strong and precious to me. I never thought I’d be able to be a herbalist as I cannot read (I speak into my phone and it writes for me too!) but I’ve found some good websites that read aloud to me and for my birthday in a couple weeks I will be buying myself your herbalism course💖 I’m so excited!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I am sorry to hear that you have become disabled but feel inspired by you and your upbeat and positive note. Happy future birthday xx

[@kimoshea]

Huge yes to all 5 questions. You have already inspired me to learn more about plants so I have just started building a materia medica and am reading books, watching videos and listening to podcasts. I have decided I will sign up to your course next week and dive right in

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Wonderful! Looking forward to meeting you xx

[@drjackdaw6627]

A lovely video designed to inspire, i think folk ought to be made aware that the word 'herbalist' holds many forms. To be self taught is fine and to be able to administer for family, but to become a certified herbalist takes three years of study with 500 hrs supervised training and will include areas such as , botany, anatomy, diagnostic skills, nutrition and diet, health and safety, pathology, physiology and other related areas, thats even before you commence actual herbal study. i do wish you all luck with whatever path you choose, anything so precious isnt learnt easily.

[@JohannaVeerenhuis]

Growing up as a farmers daughter from a long line of farmers, my mother and grandmother taught me about plants, gardening etc. I was not too interested. I’m 51 now and I study plants/herbs every single day, for about 15 years I think? I make my own soaps, salves, oils and tinctures. I have some customers for my products, I keep studying and learning every single day… could it be I AM a herbalist already…? 🤷‍♀️😅 I don’t know. I think I’m on my way, but far from ‘there’. I thought I knew mugwort, since I was a child and could pick it with my eyes closed. Just past week when I used an app to confirm that what I saw was mugwort, it was not… and the neighbor lookalike plant was yet another plant in the same family… 🤪 That was disappointing for a moment, I tell you… 😅 But I’ll soldier on, and a day not being outside doesn’t exist for me. Thank you! 😘

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I would say you are a true herbalist as you know and practice and know there is souch more to learn. It is a constant practice and making connection. I would bring a pocket botany book for plant I'd as those apps are not reliable xx

I've been interested in flowers and veg since I was a child. I won five shillings at school when I was 6 for getting the wild flowers correct and the curiosity and needing to learn went further into butterflies, moths, spiders - wherever nature was, so was I! Fish, animals, birds . . . still learning - a previous neighbour used to call me the oracle! LOL! I never considered myself that good!!!! Now I'm learning more about the hedgerow. And you have to know what is poisonous! It is a fascinating subject and I have been doing some things in readiness. I've already learnt a lot from you and I thank you. xxx PS, love the cat!

My male cousin would put me on his shoulders and tell me to stop when I was drawn to a plant. Always the roses. He would cut them for me put them in my basket. He would tell me what was safe, and what was poison. My great grandmother's did to! I so little that I forgot that! When I saw the title it triggered multiple memories. Thank you so much!

Every single point I felt deep inside my soul resonate with what you were asking. I couldn't pinpoint one single q'n because they're all very significant to me, particularly enjoyment. Stuck in the city for far too long suffocates the actual enjoyment out of life. Growing up in the country makes one want to jump out of their straitjacket ( city living ) and run with the wolves back to the mountains, I feel that strongly about my personal space, privacy and above all, freedom. So yes, I DEFINITELY want to become a herbalist; my grandparents raised me to be an old soul. Out of all my entire family I'm the only one I know of who craves the refreshing, battery charging power of nature on a daily basis and needs ot to survive in this concrete jungle I hate so much. Alot of info to digest, but that's reality for me, and I'm sure alot of introverts could relate. Love your garden and especially your happy cat. Looking forward to your next video.

🩷 Thank you Terri. Empowerment, I'd never thought of that. My parents always disuaded me from "looking in to plants." I always figured that it had something to do with my ancestors. 😢 Still, as I could, I hung out with herbal friends, medicine men; and planted as I could. Dad would always cut them down in July/August; citing, "They would die anyway, in the heat." Some herbal friends told me, "Some plants (specialty wild ones) can not be transplanted. One just has to ask the universe to gift them; & if that is ''OK,' then they will appear." 🩷

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

I agree with your friends. That must have been so upsetting for you, to have your plants cut down. Hope you can grow plants now xx

@DanusIrishHerbGarden now days, I grow plants with the thought of "letting them go," letting others "find them" & have them, just spreading them around, encouraging the plants to be their best. 🩷

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I bought my first five wild yellow Echinacea yellow cone flowers from an Amish family over 10 years ago. I grew my wild purple Echinacea cone flowers from seeds that I ordered through the mail. If you grow the wild types they will make their own seeds and spread. The gold finches have done a good job of scattering the seeds each fall here. For some reason wild purple Echinacea spreads and grows best in the graveled clay driveway in full sun. I have noticed that the yellow Echinacea grows best in part shade.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks for the tips - I may need to mix in more sand for the purple variety xx

[@carolinefarquhar8029]

I have managed to grow a patch of Echinacea from seed, they are two years old now and glorious. No idea how I managed it but they make me very happy. My herbal says conflicting things about using them, suggesting the preparing the aerial parts but then saying only use the roots. A video showing us how to use them would be fab 😊

Terri! Your laugh! Musical! Always the best part of my Sunday morning. Thank you!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thank YOU for watching xx

[@maureenbouey]

Your channel is one of my favourites; I always learn something new and the combination of your calm, measured conversation - along with the lovely music and the sweet animals - never fails to soothe and yet inspire me. I would be interested in your course at some point perhaps but just now I'm still stuck inside an apartment block in a city. Still, I learn from you and I appreciate you :) xo

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Thanks Maureen. Can you have a window box or some planters on a balcony? Go to a community garden or an allotment? Sympathising with you and hope it works out for you xx

[@maureenbouey]

@@DanusIrishHerbGardenThank you :). Well, I do actually have a balcony and had quite a profusion of flowers and even some herbs. I was just so taken with your lovely life there in Connemara as you wandered lovingly around your wild, prolific garden with your dogs, and longing for that kind of freedom. But I did go with my daughter afterwards and we found some wild rose bushes bursting with hips and picked a bunch. So, I will be able to make the syrup. Meanwhile we are plotting our escape....one day soon!

Excellent questions Terri! I love how you mention “our plant relations.” We share the earth and can help each other.💕🐇

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

We certainly can. Once you start even just seeing the plants, it begins to fall in to place xx

[@marystaten5077]

Thank you 🙏❤️😊

[@trishgraham7639]

Hi Terri! Another excellent video! Great questions! I have been studying off and on. I keep books by my bed. I have a hard time growing Echinacea even though I love it. I keep trying. Blessings from Texas.

[@nakeeshatower3214]

You are so beautiful!!! I do love plants and have over 50 in my small apartment kitchen. I never really thought it might be in my ancestry. sadly i know none and nothing of my family other than they were natives living in canida when my mom was adopted. Thank you for this video and you being you. Im off to watch garden herbs for stress next😊

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You are so welcome! Lovely to hear from you xx

[@karennewbury6430]

Thank you again Terri and Lol. I answer YES to all 5 questions. I'm currently enrolled in a program that will hopefully lead me to be a clinical herbalist. This is just for myself and my family. Your videos are always first on my list of 'must watch' every Sunday. You are a compassionate and encouraging mentor. I'd like to meet you someday (I don't travel, so probably won't happen). Keep bringing your videos to your viewers. Have a great week! Blessings from Canada 🍁

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Wonderful! Glad to help in any small way and glad to hear you are enrolled on your course. Wishing you the best on your herbal journey xx

I have a habit of looking around my property to see what is growing in abundance any given year in the wild areas. Then I look up those plants to see what they treat. This year it was plantain, St. John's Wort, and now hawthorne berries. Guess we need healing body mind and heart this year. I do respectfully collect to be able to use those medicines.

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

You are so right. Those ants are in huge Abu dance here too. Mother Earth offers the gifts we need😁😍

Thanks Teri for another Love film. Ive always loved gardening and this year I've grown more herbs and also cut flowers. I have been ispired by your vast knowledge of herbs and their uses. Ive never seen so many bees and butterflies in my garden. Xxx

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Wonderful! You must be doing something right xx

[@johnbelcher7955]

I feel if someone is able to grow the plants and sow the seeds with intent, one is able to grow with the plants and identify them. Plant the seed that you want to use in your life and grow with them and learn their names, the common names may give a clue to what they are used for!

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Lovely idea - always sow with an intention to work with the plant. xx

[@ladybirdgib]

I love this so much! Even as a child, much to my mother's chagrin, I was constantly asking about all things in the natural world around us. I recall tasting Shepard's purse and the nectar of red clover buds. I'm probably lucky I didn't end up eating the wrong thing. I knew enough to know not taste unfamiliar berries or mushrooms. The last woman in my family to practice herbalism was my twice great grandmother. Most of her knowledge was lost through the generations that followed. So glad to have valuable resources of knowledge and encouragement in this channel and others of the like! Really brings home that sense of the interconnectivity of all! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@DanusIrishHerbGarden]

Glad to hear you have the gift xx
