I got into herbalism when I got a form of psoriasis. The doctor wanted me to use a cream that I later found out can cause major skin issues. I ended up fixing most of it with a diet change and consuming dandelions from my own garden plus some others. It was a huge change! I will never look back 🥰 Plants have literally saved me in so many ways Edit: I got Pityriasis Rosea, doctor gave me Prednisone (steroid) to calm the itching, but unfortunately it also made some of my hair fall out a bit. It bothered me that I had a form of Psoriasis at only 38yrs old so I changed everything overnight. Diet change: *Breakfast - I had a large smoothie almost every morning with a mass amount of greens (kale mostly), dandelions from my garden (not sprayed with pesticides), banana, blueberries, chia seeds, almond milk, water, etc *Lunch - I'd have a giant salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, hemp seeds, apple cider vinegar, spices, dressing of choice *Dinner - I'd have almost whatever I wanted as long as I had 50% plate of non starchy veggies, no added salt, no oil -----I stopped drinking caffeine and alcohol overnight, ate mostly raw or raw till 4 Life change: Activity - I started gardening which got me more active and outside being around all the plants and trees. Very good for the mind, body, and soul! Skin - I started with using rosehip seed oil on my skin morning and night, then moved to aloe vera gel but it was too sticky so I used aloe vera + coconut oil, then I moved to coconut oil + evening primrose oil, then I did a mixture of coconut oil + castor oil + evening primrose oil. I don't know if one specific oil worked, but I do know that oiling my skin 2x a day drastically helped with the itching (don't forget I also took Prednisone so maybe any oil could work) plus made my skin extremely soft and glowing. I've seen benefits even for olive oil! Be sure to do your own research, I'm not a naturopath 🥰 I'd say Doctor, but... IYKYK With my diet change + more activity, I ended up losing 10lbs that first month. Even though I cut caffeine, I had SO much energy, I was bouncing off the walls because of my diet change and being active outside with nature! Now I look at everything and how it's poisoning us so next year/season I will be starting an herb garden in addition to my vegetable garden

I read a book called Carrots love tomatoes. It’s a companion planting book. It was so many decades ago. I do remember, and put it to use in my own garden thus. In my region of New England, the summers are very humid. Which contributed to my roses getting black spot. I learned to plant tomatoes next to them, and voilà, no more bs. A somewhat new development,over eight years, which now many doctors are finally admitting online, is that some foods are the cause of inflammatory autoimmune conditions, that cause chronic autoimmune skin diseases. It is a protein called lectins, mostly found in your nightshades. I follow Dr Gundry, Barbara Oniel, Eric Berg and Dr Fung. Maybe two more, but I believe these are the pioneers of KZbin that have been sharing the longest. I think Barbara out of Australia, is right up your alley. Many try to use clips of her conferences, but Eternal Health, and Living Springs Retreat, is probably only hers. Her daughter has been making healing creams as well for twenty years. Enjoy, and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

The young are trained / taught to shun the old, along with the wisdom that they carry. I'm glad to see people are waking up, and starting to re-learn what has been stolen from us. Maybe we can stop the trend of shunning our elders along the way. You're doing your part, and doing it well. Thank you!

[@sammyb6946]

I wasn’t taught to shun the old, I was taught to respect all elders regardless…unfortunately the elders have done wrong and refuse culpability but still demand respect. I’ve not shunned the older people in my life I have removed myself from their close-mindedness and negativity, driven away with their constant degradation. I have flourished by their absence. This is not every young person nor is this the case with every elder and I believe respect is earned on both ends despite any age. Why is it so hard to expect compassion and understanding when someone older loses their hold over those younger, especially when those younger try to meet them half way with respect and patience? I recognize the old wisdom but I have to parse out outdated views and judgement. Many of my elders have failed me. TLDR many younger are expected to unquestionably respect elders when that respect is not given to us. Open mindedness and kindness should be practiced by both parties. Both have something to learn from each other.

[@enlightenedhummingbird4764]

@@sammyb6946 Thank you for bringing this up. I agree with you 100%. I taught my daughter (who is now 28) that everyone gets the same amount of respect initially, and it's up to each person to either earn more, or lose it altogether. My comment was meant to be more broad, in that the powers that be have actively, and very successfully, pitted old against young, even when there has been nothing but love and a desire to pass on knowledge. The systems that are in place on this planet make it impossible for healthy families to stay together. This is by design. I do NOT support staying with abusers simply because they are "family". However, much knowledge and wisdom are being lost because the young are being taught that leaving the nest (even a good one) is an absolute. I hope this is making sense. Just know that when families are weak and broken, we are all more controllable, and that is the real end goal of who or what is running this planet. I'm glad to see more young people seeking out this kind of knowledge, and maybe once re-learned, they will be able to pass it on to their children.

@@sammyb6946 Strange. I replied to you, a well thought out response, and it's gone. I do not expect anyone to remain in bad situations, regardless of age or relation. I'm just sad that old wisdom and knowledge are dying with our elders. This is by design. If you find an elder worth listening to, I hope you grab the chance. Likely, that elder will also have respect for you. You're correct in that we all have something valuable to teach each other, no matter our age. 🌷

Nature is a healer and many pharmaceuticals mimic plant compounds. I like Fennel, and it is incredibly easy to grow. You can use all parts of the plant. You can make it into a tea but I love just eating the frons Raw. Seeds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and antiviral effects. The vitamin and mineral content in fennel contributes to building and maintaining bone structure and strength.

Plantain is definitely one of my favorites! When my husband was suffering from a terrible allergic reaction that we couldn't pinpoint (turned out it was black mold in our house), plantain tea was the only thing that gave him relief. If you chew it up and apply it to stings or bites, it's extremely soothing and helps draw out the irritants. Another life-saver is holy basil. I used to have the absolute worst panic attacks, and holy basil absolutely saved me. No side-effects or withdrawals, much better than benzos!

[@DynoSauce]

I can’t attest to your experience, but I will say mold damage is no joke. I’ve been dealing with symptoms for years now and just recently found out when remodeling its alllllll because of the mold. No one realizes 70% houses have mold in them and at least 20% of the population is unable to rid these (myco aflo glio ochra bio) toxins normally without herbs or sometimes supplements. The GBA is super real and the insurance and pharmacy industries would suffer heavy if they had to pay for treatment but no pharmaceuticals to treat. You should all go out and inform yourselves the potential of these things the government and conventional doctors gaslight us about. 6 main species of fungus alone that can cause deadly symptoms if left untreated, we haven’t even started on bacterias and chronic illness. 1.) Stachybotrys chartarum 2.) Chaetomium (stachy cousin) diatomaceous mold, grows in 3 days also in soil. 3.)aspergillus (ochratoxin A / Aflotoxin) only requires 60% RH 4.) Penicillium sp. produces mycophenolic acid which is immunosuppressant pharmaceutical industry uses for their drugs. 5.) Fusarium (harder to test for almost nothing known) 6.) Mucor sp. (produces toxin Mucor Mychosis which killed a lot of Indians during pandemic ) less common western civilization but popping up more past year. Everyone stay healthy and take everything you’ve ever heard with skepticism. Stay informed, never worry what you can’t change, and only change the things causing worry!

[@DynoSauce]

They keep deleting my previous comment, I agree mold is incredibly dangerous. Everyone stay informed because doctors aren’t taught to treat this as it’s way too expensive for the agencies. If you look at scholar studies, research seems to stop in early y2k, there’s six main harmful fungus known atm 1.) Stachybotrys chartarum 2.) Chaetomium (stachy cousin) diatomaceous mold, grows in 3 days also in soil. 3.)aspergillus (ochratoxin A / Aflotoxin) only requires 60% RH 4.) Penicillium sp. produces mycophenolic acid which is immunosuppressant pharmaceutical industry uses for their drugs. 5.) Fusarium (harder to test for almost nothing known) 6.) Mucor sp. (produces toxin Mucor Mychosis which killed a lot of Indians during pandemic ) less common western civilization but popping up more past year. It’s thought that 70% of houses in US have mold damage and 22% of population are incapable of ridding these toxins naturally. Myco, glio, ochra, aflo, biotoxins all should have more awareness but instead, they make you feel crazy for suggesting such things, even when you find the source after years of random symptoms. Good luck on everyone’s health journey, seems like systems out against you at times.

[@rebarbara999]

Maria Treben wrote down great knowledge about the healing remedies of herbs. Btw, juicing those common garden "weeds" is an option as well. Nowadays, I add dandelion, broad-leaved plantain and parsley to my green juice in the mornings and feel quite energetic from it (even before coffee time).

[@forrest_life23]

very lovely , nice and relaxing video. I made my own skin balm and lotion. What I know for sure, it is that some of the plants have to be picked before they make flowers and seeds (like basil, lemon balm, nettles), as it keeps the goodness in the leaves. As soon as they start flowering, the enegy and healthy stuff is going into the seeds. I always pick nettles in spring, when they are young and full of silicium (use as well horseltail), so this is the perfect combination for remineralisation of bones and many more healing properties. I will try tinctures next year for sure. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment of your life. 💚💚💚💚

[@clarajimenez2727]

Glad that the algorithm brought me here. Currently mission is learning how to make my own natural skin care, and also all about plant medicine, herbs, flowers to help healing from endometriosis 🙏🏻 thanks for sharing your wisdom. You are an inspiration

[@GeffreyKane]

Endometriosis, owww! (My phone is registered to my partner, I am female) as a fellow sufferer, trained nurse, holistic therapist, herbalist & habitat rewilder, I live by herbs, but unfortunately they haven't helped my Endometriosis. I use acupressure (acupuncture is better known). Shop around for a good therapist & see if it works for you. Also, learning how to self treat will keep you going between sessions/give you independence. Tip; follow the line from your little toe/little finger to the hollow in your wrist/ankle, just before wrist/ankle bone. Apply pressure to this area.I recommend using a warmed smooth rounded stone with very little warm oil. Work any puffiness, or 'grit' towards your body. ***N.B. NOT SUITABLE when pregnant*** . Best of luck & best wishes.

[@fionameek7991]

Agnus castus really cleared up my endometriosis after suffering for years. It's available in tincture, tablet and teas, the tablets stopped my bleeding on the second day, I took it for 8 months and have never suffered endometriosis again. I hope it helps you too

[@aliarain4411]

I absolutely love the walk about your garden and the herbs you have pointed out. The recipes are invaluable! I am so excited to try them and share their wonderful nature with others! Thank you so much!

[@louannhuber2651]

I don’t need any of this sleepy tea. I’m relaxed watching this video. His voice, the music and beautiful kitchen. I love herbs too.

[@MyndEye]

Gaz, this was your best video yet. I love Herbalism, have been into it since I was young and learned from my Mother. I abandoned it for years as I grew up, left home and lived in the city. Now like you I grow my own food and herbs, medicinal flowers and make my own moisturiser! Just like yours. Its so nice to see a channel like yours branching out into this important topic, especially now as people are waking up to the problems of the Pharmaceutical industry and the multiple side effects that make people ill. You are embodying the new age and being a great role model for the young generations coming up in this topsy turvy world. Natural foods and ingredients are so important for healthy living and a healthy life and you are making it cool again so Bravo! 👏 As an older lady who has done this from generational knowledge watching you, a young whipper snapper, re-discovering these traditions and spreading the knowledge let me say how proud of you I am. Ive been a fan of yours since lockdown, loved watching you evolve and grow your own food, discover foraging and now herbalism 🙌... and please know that you gave me many healthy recipies I now enjoy regularly too. I follow The Herbal Jedi on you tube and I recommend you do too for a wealth of herbal info. I will root out all my herbal/foraging books and share a list with you soon (all are in boxes atm!) but for now Thankyou! And keep doing what you are doing for it is an utter joy to see you living a natural healthy life, learning and putting into practice ancient wisdom and traditions and informing a whole new generation of such important information. Much love from Up North (UK) xx 🙏😊❤

[@sommermaxwell]

Loved this video! I’m taking an herbalism class now, so this was great timing! I grow all kinds of plants for medicinal use (mostly tisane/infusions) in my garden, but some of my favorites are: catmint/nepita, ‘Vana’ and ‘Krishna’ Tulsi/Holy Basil which are great mixed with ‘Yerba Buena’ and ‘Ginger’ mint, echinacea, calendula, butterfly pea flower, passionvine, lemon balm, chamomile, yarrow, rose petals, lavender, oregano, and roselle/hibiscus. I love it when I make a delicious infusion that is also healing! The Healing Garden by Rosalee De La Foret is a great book about herbalism and Body Into Balance by Maria Noel Groves is a great one for holistic wellness.

[@aurorabushati3050]

Such a positive energy and beautiful human soul! Wonderful! Thank you for existing!

[@elfrog98]

Your absolute raw enthusiasm is making me happy! Also I resonate with everything you said in this

[@fawnwhitecloudjett5594]

Hello Sir, your show is very excellent. I am an elder in time and you do us great honor by telling the public the truth about plants. Spices, even boiling help with lung infections, eucalyptus is a very good plant to study, as is basil, oregano, and sage. Peppermints of all types in courage our taste senses, and when made with honey and lemon or orange or lime will help with fever and colds. Cranberries clean the kidneys and stop yeast infections known as UTI's, beet juice as salad dressing is great for your eyes, And there are so many other positives to foods and herbs done together. Please continue to teach it's your great talent. God bless you. Mrs Fawn Cheyenne Valley Joseph White Cloud Jett, California, USA

[@endlesssmile8905]

A true Welsh Wizard you are. 🧙‍♂ In the middle of the video, I got up to make a tea with some lemon balm and yarrow that I've picked, I also added some mint tea from the health store as well. Enjoyed that cup while watching this calming video of yours. Thanks for the inspiration! I also had an idea of adding BLUE LOTUS to the bedtime tea mix I'll be making. You can give it a go as well, if you haven't connected with that plant already. 💙

[@Elefantz]

Loved this video, especially as many of the herbs (and the elder tree) grow in our 1/4 acre in North Queensland and we use them medicinally all the time. Just a thing about the calendula moisturiser (I make it for all our family) - the most potent part of the calendula is the green bulb at the base of the petals. Next time you make your infusion, use that part as well as the petals. The medicinal properties will go through the roof. :-)

[@amberful]

I appreciate that you acknowledge that you’re still learning! Connecting back to nature can seem out of reach when we’ve grown up in a big city, but knowing you were able to do it is inspiring!

[@vanessak7069]

Respect brother I am working with wild healing plants and it changed my life for the better.

[@1940sDream]

I love to walk over my chamomile leaves on my pathway to smell apples. I grow all my roses and calendula to dry & give to my rabbits as a treat. They love it.

[@tofuneverbleeds]

Thank you for sharing such beneficial wild plant knowledge!

[@gazoakleychef]

So nice of you

[@better.thanyesterday]

Your videos are mesmerizing, few suggestions from India that i got is moringa /asparagus plant ,curry leaves ,aloe vera and tulsi

[@lovelyrita2645]

I also make my own body butter and have, ironically, infused it with lavender and calendula, too. I'm considering adding plantain (Plantago major) to my recipe. It's great for healing skin ailments like inflammation and also bug bites. And, it grows everywhere here, in Sonoma County California. ❤Love your content, many thanks.

[@ashleycatastrophe2709]

I loved when you said you were going to leave some elderberries for the birds sharing is caring ❤

[@nesanesa9547]

Mmmmmm elderberry champagne in spring from flowers... Red wine from berries... Full of vitamins...

[@nesanesa9547]

Wooooo.. So delighted to have caught up with your first videos ..buying land etc.. Up a big mountain in Turkiye intermittent internet.. Welsh x n❤❤❤❤

[@Jacelyn-tn6mq]

I was so happy you added rose petals to your tea blend. I always add it to mine, which is very similar to what you've made. I always turn to herbs whenever I feel a cold coming on. Nature provides the best medicine. If anyone has a nut allergy, make sure you get refined shea butter.

[@chefvitaja]

Great video Gaz ..you inspired me to want to grow my own food and flowers 🌸..bless up 🙏🏽🇯🇲🌱

[@eightybananas4515]

That tea blend is so beautiful! 🤩

[@BTFearr]

What he said about Calendula growing on its own is super important. It means that it is alkaline. The human body is alkaline. Anything that cannot/does not grow on its own is hybrid, man-made, so it is acidic. Echinacea, for example, is hybrid. Acidity is a major cause of disease.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

2:55 oh my gosh calendula is so expensive too. This is awesome

[@melaniehanley5082]

For peeps in NZ the book Foraging by Peter Langlands is great. Thanks Gaz for another awesome video. You even captured the interest of my 3yro granddaughter😊 and that’s a feat!

[@chrisafram1293]

It’s mint for the win. Been watching you since my crazy train commutes to NYC. You introduced me to healthy mouth watering plant based meals and love being with you on this journey. Thank you brother ❤

[@matiasgowland1822]

Thanks for sharing this knowledge, much love from Uruguay!

[@GeffreyKane]

Like this for so many reasons; 1. No 'dirty hippy' in sight. Beautiful, (yet allowed to be wild) garden, beautiful (yet let to be rustic) home. 2. & a tutor who is happy to be a student & pool knowledge with others. Speaking of which, have often eaten elder berries raw & it's always a very enjoyable experience?

[@Phantomlover323]

More of these kinds of videos please! Also, the end gave off “Robin Hood, Men in Tights” and absolutely cracked me up. Thanks for such an amazing video 💕

[@narrowgate777]

Slippery Elm is a must have. Many uses, but excellent for digestive and throat issues. And it's great for humans and animals alike. It was one of my children's first food! Look into it, Gaz.

[@janetteadams4023]

Slippery Elm is also an endangered tree as well, Black Walnut is another very healing tree that needs to grow by a water source.

[@narrowgate777]

@@janetteadams4023 I'm in Tennessee, USA where it grows wild. What do you mean by saying it's endangered?

[@candaceparsons529]

First time watching…. Love it.

[@priscilas24]

People the old ones already sayed the best remedies is to treating your body with healthy food! So I think eating vegetables, teas, good dehintoxicating herbs can make you be worry free about cancer and other kind of diseases 😊

[@tammystevens9023]

Calm, yes

I’ve been a practicing green witch for several years and have regrettably not had the inspiration to hone in on my craft as much as I would like to.. this video was truly the breath of fresh air that I needed. Thank you!

[@debbybrady1246]

What a wonderful video. Your blend of herbs for sleep has me intrigued, as I have suffered with insomnia for years. I will definitely be planting those herbs. I would love to enjoy your herbal blend for making tea for good sleep. What a blessing that would be.

Plantains are amazing. I’ve used it on wasp stings and it is nothing short of a miracle. You grind it up a bit and use it in a poultice.

[@evanahansen5298]

I grew up with a mother who always taught me the properties of different plants and herbs, which I know use and improve in my daily life. One thing that’s fantastic is lavender oil for burns! I am prone to getting burnt, and when it does happen, put a couple dabs of lavender oil on it and let that set in. It’s saved me so many times, even when I got (small) third degree burns on both my legs 😅 relieved my pain and helped it heal

[@pattipelletier6131]

Hi! Very informative video😊 thank you so much! Where do you get your shea and cocoa butter for your moisturizer?

[@moltenlana]

I made the moisturiser with sage flowers, rosemary and calendula from my garden, plus a pinch of saffron! It's a divine little recipe :) I just used tallow instead of shea butter because it works really well for my skin *
