Materia Medica Yarrow 3

[@gearskin9967]

For anyone wondering, the word Dave is using is "masticate", to chew up. When he describes making a poultice by masticating, he's talking about chewing up the plant into a ball of mush and applying that directly to the skin.

[@jackwalsh1468]

Dave, this is a great series and I thoroughly enjoy it. Cheers, Mate.

[@wacken53]

i love your channel.You are the only one who spent the time in living outdoor not only unboxing, knives and amazon shop

[@macattacka2862]

This is a much more in depth look at the plants and trees, I've been waiting for something like this ever since the 5X5 herbs series. Your knowledge and concepts have really improved over time. Thank you for your dedication and posting these videos, especially during this heat wave going on this summer. Materia Medica has a nice ring to it ♫

[@patriciawhite6429]

i was looking for homeopathy Materia medica, but I'm enjoying how your helping me identify the plants so I can make my own medicines thanks!

[@rickgroshong250]

This is a great series, Dave! I like how you go deeper into the topic, and discuss things like tissue types, etc. That helps connect the plants to their uses, and makes it easier to remember. Thanks for putting your vids out there for all to see. Great stuff!

[@randystache78]

this is one of my favorite stores that you've done! this is the kind of thing I remember my dad teaching me growing up.

[@kingpopaul]

Unless such a list is already around, I would highly suggest making one about the characteristics(taste,etc) of plants and the effects that are correlated with those effect. That would be a great starting point for anyone anywhere.

[@MultiRusty111]

I found a meadow loaded with yarrow,Queen Anne's Lace,staghorn sumac,broadleaf plantain,and mullein.on a hike.I basically just took photos,but gathered some staghorn sumac berry heads to make the beverage Dave mentioned in a video.I followed his directions on how to make it while on a hike,and the results were good.A delicious beverage that tastes like a combination between tart apples and lemonade.

[@roth4916]

Great video Dave! Truly needed. I don't know if you were going to add this to your video series but maybe add videos explaining how to make and apply certain medicinal uses of the plants such as poultices and decoctions.

[@Shagbark]

Thanks Dave...your efforts are appreciated.

[@backtothewoods4889]

Thanks Dave for sharing your knowledge! I can't wait to search for this plant in my area

[@kencollins7046]

Thanks Dave for the video. I would like to make a suggestion that I think would help a novice just learning. You give good detail information of id and conditions for using the plant, and mention what to use it for, but I would like to know more information about "how" to use the plant, as you say, on the fly. If I have one of the conditions you mention, how do I prepare the plant to alleviate that condition? Poultice, tea, wound dressing, steep, boil, etc?

[@joe77h32]

I like this series. Useful plants /herbs I find very interesting! Thanks-

[@karsonbranham3900]

Another very well done video!! Thanks Dave!

[@jimmyjunkmail]

Great series!! Really hoping you would show Queen Anns Lace along side the Yarrow for comparison. I look forward to the next one!

[@j.higgins5408]

Thanks Dave, That stuff is all over WV

[@ceschmid]

Great kick off!!! Eagerly waiting for the nest video. Tx!!

[@xD3adKl0wnx]

Yarrow is pretty good for a mosquito repellent as well. bruise up the leaves between your hands and rub them on your skin. also, good for a tea that settles the stomach as well.

[@englishwoodsman]

thank you for the information mate

[@slickydicky]

I miss this Dave, instead of pushing products, which are great don't get me wrong. But I loved the laid back, educational videos of this era

[@DavidCanterbury]

Educational video don’t get views and views pay the channel buddy. I try to keep a good mix

[@christianayers2660]

Really digging this series!!

[@winstonchurchill473]

Amazing vid like always,thx for the info Dave!!!

[@GreencampRhodie]

Great video and series, thanks.

[@Survivalist2008]

Good series Dave!

[@sandygap1]

Dave - Love the content! The shutter and flash in the video is a little bothersome.

[@mlugin8050]

Very inreresting, thanks for sharing that knowledge! Greetings from Switzerland

[@fishhooks100]

Lovin' this series.

[@cnawan]

Watch out for the similar looking Hemlock..

[@intothecalm420]

That mistake would certainly ruin your day.

[@hoosiergardener1148]

Hey Dave whats up with the clicking and flickering in the video? I love this Topic and you are doing a great job with Identifying the plants.

[@MultiRusty111]

It's now August (2017),and I was lucky enough to locate a field where yarrow,Queen Anne's Lace,mullein,goldenrod,joepye weed,and broadleaf plantain,a regular pharmacy of medicinal herbaceous plants.

[@keithmoore7390]

I don't know if it's the net or your camera Dave, but the last couple of vids I've got some frame blurring and jumping, thought I'd let you know so you could check your camera. no sense wasting the effort if the camera craps out mid way.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Thanks!

[@gtfkt]

They are in full bloom right now in eastern Canada (Québec).

[@sirkai007]

Can you do a video that shows the side by side of yarrow vs Queen Anne's lace?

[@MikeSr39]

this is something every survivalist should watch and bookmark.

[@jpkossman]

Dude if it means anything I have purchased items from your store and plan to in the future.

[@TheShredfest89]

thank you so much for these

[@firebeard2412]

I apologize for asking this question though it has nothing to do with this video but I was watching an old video you have on caring for your axe and was wondering what your thoughts were on polishing an axe to a near mirror finish? obviously it has near to no benefits but I was wondering whether it had any serious drawbacks that I should worry about.

[@zuseable]

love the idea of this info it was a great idea

[@jaquma322]

Whats up with the camera Dave? Thank you for another awesome series :) Many greatings from Denmark

[@GarouLady]

Your camera did a bit of a hiccup at 2:58 there and other times throughout the video. Not complaining, just letting ya know. Also I would be careful about putting things in my mouth. Especially if you don't know what it is. I've been looking into Michigan based herbage and you have to be careful about look-a-likes that can be poisonous. Another really good all-over-the-place herbage would be mullein, which doesn't have any look-a-likes and is usefully for tons of stuff. Thank you so much for your video. Really enjoyed it. Especially since I know I got both yarrow and queen's anne lace all over my yard. I am allergic to chamomile though so I am curious if I would have an allergic reaction to yarrow too. Hmm......

[@jpkossman]

This is the reason I want the specific scientific name of the plant written plainly so I can cross check with my reference material . I am familiar with lookalike plants .

[@jpkossman]

***** not on a 3.5 inch mobile sorry

[@firebeard2412]

could you make a tea out of these and have the same affects?

[@jarlove]

does fireweed have any medicinal properties??

[@tangle70]

Do you know of any good classes on herbal medicine in the Ohio/Tennessee area?

[@outlanderbushcraft3100]

Good information thanks , atb Martin

[@daddynjulia]

I was waiting for Yarrow. Milkweed up next ?

[@Atkrdu]

Yarrow's also good for women to facilitate labor (although it might be something she wants to avoid, since it could cause miscarriage if used earlier). Seems like it could also be used for other things, but I'm only clear on THAT it can be used- not how or when.

[@amc7568]

Where does it grow?

[@jpkossman]

Dave can you please put the scientific name in the description.

[@ezell8884]

Achillem Millefolium, one click on the internet.

[@iraklitos20022003]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achillea_millefolium

[@DavidCanterbury]

Dude it is on the opening SLIDE of the Video ,PAUSE?

[@jpkossman]

I'm sorry my eye sight isn't that good watching on Mobile and it doesn't have much contrast , I did not know it was a hidden word puzzle. By your own advice you said don't take other people's word on something you were teaching, because they may give the incorrect name. Should I use a magnifier on all your videos?

[@jpkossman]

Dave said not to trust other descriptions of the specific plant that he is describing ,and some times the one click information is incorrect.

[@vitacuir007]

us in Canada yarrow is in full bloom

[@tilobouds4825]

If you chew on the roots it numbs your mouth too

[@SurvivalDavid]

the first one

[@averyvance4275]

Second

[@TheShredfest89]

DAVE, USE GREEN DEAN FROM "EAT THE WEED'S" 'ITEMIZE' SYSTEM I- IDENTIFICATION T- TIME OF YEAR E- ENVIRONMENT M- METHOD OF PREPARATION

[@DavidCanterbury]

I have mentioned this system in MANY video past it is truly designed for edible plants but the same principles do apply, I would still recommend a good cross reference and many Poison Look alikes meat all these criteria, until you cross reference Identifying materials
