Health Benefits of Pineapple Weed

[@moniquegendron8438]

I harvested pineapple weed last summer and made infused oil....I use it for stiff nerves in my leg and patches of psoriasis on my forehead. It is wonderful 🥰

[@TheUniverseWorksForUsBeings]

Because of this video that I watched of yours, last year I found some in my gravel driveway here in Michigan....I live in northern Oakland county in Leonard.... From 1 plant that I took last year and I planted it in my raised garden bed and I planted Roma tomato s in and almost the entire surrounded soil of the tomatos is filled with pineapple weed. I love the way it smells....so now I have an abundance...thank you!

[@woodsie5796]

Glad I found this! I have pineapple weed all over the place this year! We have a small "field" where we don't cut down anything until July. Besides ticks 😉, I collect a lot of "weeds" that have medicinal uses there. I love seeing all the wildflowers pop up! Blessings 🥰

[@witchofthewildwoods3496]

I’ve just never had luck growing chamomile here in Oregon but pineapple weed pops up everywhere on our property this time of year. I appreciate you mentioning that the stems and leaves of the plant can be used too as everyone else seems to advise discarding those parts :)

[@courtneygriffin3584]

Thank you for this! We’ve been trying to conceive and this popped up this summer out of nowhere, we’re believing God gifted us this and is preparing me to birth and nurse babies! 🎉🎉🎉

[@lindachandler2293]

It grows all along my drive way. I pick it going to and from my mail box. I think it works as well as regular chamomile and it's free!

[@GetToTheFarm]

Pineapple weed loves compacted soil, it grows where people walk and where cars are driven or parked often.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

It is certainly not picky and will grow anywhere, however, it will grow much bigger and fuller when it has a richer soil. I did not know pineapple weed could get as big as it has been growing wild in my main garden bed :)

[@Michael.OJackson]

Also where the dogs go pee so make sure you wash it 1st x

[@PastaSausta]

It springs up all over in areas where cattle have impacted the soil.

[@GrizzlyGroundswell]

Our seeds we purchased from you are growing very well. My wife winter sowed them and they are taking off!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Nice!

[@funkyprepper]

Absolutely awesome video. We have tonnes of this stuff growing wild here in the mountains of mid Wales. Thanks so much for taking a lot of time researching too. Now subscribed 👍🏻

[@edbruder9975]

I just found out yesterday my lawn is full of Self Heal, Prunella Vulgaris, first time I tried it and i haven't chewed it for a week but it's been 2 days now and my knees and back feel better, and my eyes are clearer. I'm 72, I'm gonna keep it up, and see how the week works out. I must've eaten 40 or 50 of the blossoms by now, and i chewed up a few and smeared them over my eyes before i went to sleep. I just recovered from oesophageal cancer this spring and my digestion has not been real good. My feeding tube scar has been real slow healing, it was the last tube removed, and keeps getting re-opened on occasion. I chewed up some self-heal and put it under a bandage on the wound last night. It looks ok today, we'll have to see how she goes.

[@funkyprepper]

Shared this video a few times. Going to make some tea before bed with this tonight. Was going to steep the whole plant minus the roots ( I cut about 2" from the floor ). Lots just use the flower heads but I suspect they are missing a trick here

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yes, you can use the leaves AND flower and I do use both

[@funkyprepper]

@@RainCountryHomestead thanks for replying so soon. And thanks again for your time to research and make the videos

[@stt4676]

I had just picked pineapple weed for tea, i come home and you upload this! It's a very common herb here in the city and it tastes great. Thanks for the video ❤️

[@jenniferhunt6739]

It is wonderful for menstral cramps. Have a cup of tea and cramps gone in 30 minutes or so. Chamomile the same way Grateful for all your videos

[@WatchwomanOnTheWall-zk9po]

Delicious. I make sun tea with fresh herb, and save it dried for later, hot tea. Yum.

[@shelly8387]

As I was picking blackberries, I came across a this plant and couldn't find anything to tell me what it was. AGAIN, very timely. Thank you!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Now how cool is that? :D

[@shelly8387]

Pretty cool seeing how I had never noticed them before. They are very unique looking and intrigued me. I'm thrilled to know what they are and that they are so beneficial. I've been learning so much from your videos. Know all you do is so appreciated and inspiring. Thank you again.

[@Gypsymama333]

Thank you for this!! I have so much coming up in my my garden as well 💛🙏🏽

[@elleemon1418]

Great video. Ty you for this information and i appreciate the care in which you offer the information.

[@fetchmour]

i live in Australia and recently had serve flooding and my whole paddock is now a 10 acre field of this weed i came here to see what it was,, ive read that the world give you what you need and fun enough ive had some real bad ingestion maybe i should give this a try

[@lisabooker6405]

I need to see if I can find this somewhere. I’ve not seen it. I will look the next time I take the grandoodles to the park! I did discover a huge patch of self heal growing in my yard! It was t there before but the ground got dug up when they removed some old dead bushes in early spring so I’m assuming maybe it was there and just dormant. Thought it was pretty cool. Thanks so much for the information. You know I love ya bunches and bunches! 😍 Love, hugs and blessings ~The Kid!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Pineapple weed will grow just about anywhere, it grows in rich soil but also is VERY common to find growing in driveways and other depleted soils. Naturally, it will get much bigger in rich soils but is pretty much happy anywhere :)

[@vctpeters]

Really appreciate you and your hard work

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Pineapple weed is awesome, it's a shame all the stuff in my driveway was tainted with pesticides, had one small patch on the edge of my garden I tried, my kids loved it too and keep asking for more. I think the flowers taste like a sugarless pineapple occasionally leaving a subtle and brief bubblegum aftertaste. The leaves are slightly bitter but still great. God IS good all the time.

[@LindasDesk]

Hi, Love Love Love your vids. I absolutely trust you, hehe, and this is huge:) I've been watching this herb/weed in my driveway and watched a vid last week that brought clarity you just expounded on:) She-is-of-the-Woods, here on yt, had a little blurb 'bout wild camomile where she highlighted the gentleness of the plant. It's been given to colicky babies and pregnant moms.

[@Smashley18]

Thank Heidi! Your videos have really helped me get more self sufficient ❤️!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Thank you Ashley and good to see you here - not sure I have seen you comment before :)

[@divynknights]

I love that you warn us about the possible side effects. Although I warn everyone who comes to me to do their own research. No one has ever warned me there could be side effects to herbs. Can I ask a question though? When you're researching your herbs, do you research your oils as well? You mentioned avocado oil, and yes she is a very good oil to use. But I tend to reserve using her, because of the resources needed to grow avocado. Now that being said, I am new to the world of making medicines on my own. So I haven't even had the chance to try all the oils. But I am trying to be careful about the footprint I leave on Mother Earth. If you have knowledge of all of the carrier oils. Could you please give me a bit of an education on it? Thank you for the knowledge and wisdom you are sharing with us. I just found you for the first time as I was looking up information about Wild Chamomile/Pineapple Weed. And now you have a new subscriber LOL. Thank you again for sharing.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

The reason I am big on avocado oil is that it is one that is heat tolerant and I can get a good quality avocado oil for less than I can organic grapeseed oil, which when it comes to grapeseed, I prefer only organic. Even though I do not heat my infusing oils, I still want something I know can handle it without going rancid like olive oil can do and while it is a great oil for the skin, I have had some turn rancid on me.

[@divynknights]

@@RainCountryHomestead thank you for that information. As I stated I'm still knew to all of this. I don't warm my oils either. It's still a little overwhelming for me when it comes to my footprint on mother earth, and which products to use. Thank you again. I appreciate the information.

[@kimwarburton8490]

Fantastic info! I need to avoid camomile. This gives me a better alternative 🖒

[@lindachandler2293]

They are so similar, if I couldn't use take chamomile, I would be very cautious of using the wild kind.

[@WendyK656]

Heidi, Maybe it could help with Arthritis. Thank you for your information

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Since it is suppose to help with inflammation, then I would think it would

[@K.I.M.7777]

Great information! Thank you. New subscriber here too!

Thank you for sharing this information on pineapple weed I appreciate it

[@nataliegist2014]

I always say I'm not a Dr. I'm a healer.

[@edbruder9975]

I used to drive a transport truck. I was having trouble with a deep chest cough that kept hanging on and on. Like coughing fits and phlegm just outta the blue at random times, sometimes to the point of seeing stars and switching to black and white vision on occasion. Not really something you want to be behind the wheel of a 9 axle steelhauler with. I saw a video on a horseradish company where they mentioned the workers rarely got colds. We had horseradishes on my Mother's property so i dug some roots up and took them in my truck to chew on if i might feel like coughing. Just a handfull of roots in a paper bag all scrubbed up. The roots are tough, especilly when they get dry, and horseradish doesn't get hot till its all ground up together, the heat comes from 2 different parts of the root all mixed together. Anyways I started the week great, coughing was pretty much averted by chewing the roots, but later in the week I was feeling kinda dried out and sore, i looked in a mirror in a truckstop and saw my eyes were sunken and my face all grey and sick looking and I could feel where my kidneys were. I decided I'd quit chewing horse radish root. It was just a handfull, but you gotta watch yourself.

[@LindasDesk]

I'd like to say how I appreciate your encouragement to do our own research. I get excited too and into the cross-referencing fun. I wish I could do it faster and more efficiently. I learn best by watching and/or listening so youtube can be a time stealer for me. I'd like to do better...be more organized about it all. I also find too often, I get into the yard and forget what I researched. ugh, multi-tasker;0). And then the papers and journals I've dropped notes into....I end up flipping unsuccessfully to find my notes, getting back on the computer, googling an answer....which sets this Gemini sun, Virgo moon elder to resume the dance and joy of the search...gaw;0) Have you tips on how to organize notes, or maybe you have pockets in your skirt to hold a pen and paper if a thought comes to you in the field. lol, no pun intended. I gently tried audio reminders but not successfully. You are amaZing and as mentioned before, I really appreciate you:) xo

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I do take notes but do not carry a note pad. My methods are always changing but I remember best when I am able to use an herb for something. I often have to go back to my notes or even my own videos and look things up again. I cannot retain even all the things I share in the videos.

[@LindasDesk]

@@RainCountryHomestead hehehe, thank you so much for your response. I’m so glad it’s not just me;0)

[@lindachandler2293]

I have had people tell me they are scared to use wild medicine because it hasn't been studied rigorously like store bought medicine and I argue that yes they have and much longer than some of the things prescribed by a doctor. Yet these same people will blindly take anything from a drug store because it supposedly has been tested and studied and found to be ok; they sometimes don't even read the paper attached to the bag they carried it home in and noticing all the warnings, in spite of being told to read the instructions and information carefully.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Right! Most people are lab rats, vaccines and pharmaceuticals do NOT have much for any real safety studies done meaning the testing is done o the people who take them.

[@lindachandler2293]

@@RainCountryHomestead My husband told me about a story on NBC this morning and I typed 'cdc coronavirus nbc news' in the search bar to find it. At the time it was the first story, the one where Hoda and Jenna were talking to someone from the CDC and the CDC was telling us to get ready for the coronavirus to go across the US. I tried to share it twice on Facebook, because after all it was the CDC and NBC. It was taken down both times. Evidently they don't want to be accused of being a party to fear mongering. 😭😠

[@fortressofsolitude2960]

Great Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Dinanlinson Crazy Tactic Approach (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to use short burst interval training to get that beach body without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.

[@jojox3021]

It is ridiculous to believe in everything the Sicarios ("Doctors" say. Today many trusted Fausci and are no longer in this life. Tks to that 👉💉 the WHO and the FDA are corrupted

[@jojox3021]

Do you want the cure? herbs is the answer. You want a promised cure, keep taking drugs and the cure will be worse for you but wealth for the pharma

i love this one, i eat the flowers straight up.

I read somewhere that for comfrey to harm your liver, you'd have to eat 14 pounds a day for 40 years, so like who would do that, lol

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Right, so much controversy. I have long since started using it in teas when I have it coming in fresh and really like what it adds. No problems either :)

[@WatchwomanOnTheWall-zk9po]

Very nice video.

[@edieboudreau9637]

That name roughly translated= mothering discord ( or interrupting motherhood). Maybe referring to it's ability to help with the things interfering with motherhood.

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

yes, it helps the placenta to fully pass, it boosts milk production, it lessens menstrual pain

[@kimwarburton8490]

Wish id been taught latin 🖒 Would make all this learning easier. Latin names give clues. Pineappleweed gives no hint of its benefits, location or looks

Pineapple weed is great. Then again, I've never chewed it for a week.

[@pamsgarden6724]

What about almond oil.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Almond oil is equivalent to grapeseed with a smoke point of 420° which is decent and good enough for infusing. Avocado oil is the highest at 520°

I call that CHAMOMILE !!!

It is related to chamomile but it is NOT chamomile. Two different plants that have some similar benefits but also benefits that vary. Chamomile does not grow well for me but pineapple weed does
