Mimosa Medicinal Qualities

[@TheMaverickAcres]

thank you Justin, I had no idea about that. I have tons of mimosa, now I know why God blessed me with so many, lol.

[@destinyandpurpose]

I remember when I was about 5 or 6 years old climbing up in a big mimosa tree and smelling the sweet flowers. I have always loved mimosa trees for that reason. I had 2 in my front yard for several years and they seemed to just rot from the inside. A friend said he would never burn it, he called it swamp wood, cause it is so wet. I have a stump that looks like it is putting out a little stem. I will have to collect flowers from somewhere else, they are surely invasive, I see them growing all along the interstate. I am definitely wanting to make some mimosa tincture. I never knew this about mimosa, gonna have to to get me a copy of that book. Thank you so much for sharing this video! God Bless and keep you!

[@jeanniebair4103]

Justin glad you did this video….I have been needing something for depression over my grief. Thank you so much

[@davidlee9299]

Over the last weekend I made some stinging nettles/dandilion salve for the wifes arthitis, she cannot take the pharma meds due to cancer... I am happy to say that it is helping her with the pain and mobility... Thanks Justine for giving me the idea... I will ne maming so.e plantain salve soon..

[@Teri6419]

I'll make this. I will add lemon balm to see if it works synergistically.

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Good information. There was a large one in my Mom's yard near the carport. We used to take chairs and sit under it in the late afternoon. There was always plenty of shade .

[@nomadicneanderthal1377]

Love it....just pulled first harvest last weekend with another this coming....keep em coming justin I tincture two ways....one with alcohol for sale/trade and 2d with apple cider vinegar for myself ( recovered alcoholic)

[@russellcrawford4809]

Absolutely love these trees. They bring butterflies and hummingbirds. Traveling through north west Arkansas i saw one that the blooms were the deepest watermelon red color. It was absolutely beautiful 😊

[@susanbutterfly9579]

I love your videos ❤ i have one Mimosa, came up out of nowhere. I just love it's beauty! Now i will try the blossoms for tea😊 Thank you!

[@joelgoodrum9757]

So glad you showed the medicinal qualities of the mimosa. I will be trying this soon. Love your pottery making area too! Has character too it.

[@thorkinsey4793]

Never knew this about Mimosa. Thanks for the video. I got several of these tree down in the field. We got something daddy called the Indian toothache tree. The bark on it when chewed will numb your mouth like you had a novacaine shot from the dentist. It works great. They grow wild in the fence rows here. Have big short thorns on them.

[@saddleridge4364]

My oldest mimosa is declining, but it made babies very close by. Hummingbirds love the flowers, I love the look of Mimosa, like a fern tree. Very hardy and I'm way up in Pennsylvania. It takes awhile to 'leaf out' in Spring, but it always does, even after a very cold winter. I have a stainless percolator with all stainless parts, I think I could put the flowers in the basket of the coffee pot and let them perk into tea. I'm watching in December , so I've got a long way to wait for that tea. LOL

[@bbrhody831]

I tinctured a pint jar of mimosa flowers this summer. Haven't strained it out yet. Thanks for the info!

[@johnnydavenport4742]

This is awesome! I just picked some on my way home from work today.

[@chfgypsy]

Thank you....will be collecting blossoms and making tea.

[@robertmoffatt8635]

Thanks for sharing this. I should look in to natural remedies. I am intrigued by the nettle an dandelion salve mentioned by the gentleman for arthritis. Loving your videos

[@growingskyes5327]

You do things so simply! Thank you for being a regular person on youtube!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I find that most people way overthink things and make simple life difficult

[@CalvinWhitewolfjr-qv4zh]

Nature will provide as they used to say back in the day

[@debbieroberts1611]

I also a person use the tiny blossoms for painting. They called them fairy paint brushes. Cool for children.

[@mschele64]

Thank you for showing us your flower, Brody! They make me feel good too! When my boys were your age -about 25 years ago-we had a huge mimosa that we called the Lion King Tree. It had been in the front yard of our house since i was a little girl and my great aunt and uncle lived here. It died several years ago and we haven’t been able to get another one to “take.” I so miss stepping out on the front porch to be greeted by the sweet smell of the flowers in July and August. I will have another mimosa soon. Tell your dad I said thanks for sharing so much good stuff with us!

[@jamiecox5430]

Amazing information! I’ve been wondering forever about that tree. Here in north Florida these are everywhere! Thanks for the great video!

[@dawnskent1667]

I had a Beautiful Mimosa Tree in my backyard Beautiful

Great content, thank you for sharing

[@decorahnord9902]

That's a pretty flower...

It really works Justin I just harvested some thanks brother

Ive been using it here and there for 3-4 years . It does help

[@fireman6612]

I really enjoy watching your channel it's always interesting I really love these medicinal plant videos. Your doing a good work all the way around keep it up

[@selinafoshee-t2r]

[@gud2go50]

You have a beautiful yard area!😊

[@debrarol]

Thank you for sharing this information!

[@LilyG153]

Grounding mats are awesome everyone should have one❤

[@lmvath211]

Thanks for updating this info. I’m on the mimosa wagon. Smokable blends.

[@cynthiacollins2668]

Im happy to know of a use for this lovely tree; helps me justify keeping them around, even though my husband says they are "weed" trees. Ive been fond of them since i was a child!

[@messyhomestead7320]

Thank you - such a big help! We live where they're invasive too and I was about to trim one to keep it off a neighbor's roof :) They're so pretty, I'm thrilled to know more about what we can do with them. Don't know why I didn't look this up sooner!

[@beekeepingpreacher]

Greetings and salutations in Jesus name, Brother Justin. It's been a minute or two since I dropped a line to you. Thanks for the video on Mimosa, it was quite timely for me here in E. Tenn.,. The property that we have has some mimosa on it as well as tulip poplar, sweetgum, sassafras, and some others. I know that my bees like the tulip poplar and mimosa but was wondering about the medicinal properties. Keep walking in the Spirit Brother, God Bless.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Good to hear from you brother

[@trooper2221]

Thanks for the video, I had no idea about this.

[@mtman2]

Excellent Thanks...!!!

[@orgnlsendee39]

Can you make tea from the bark?

[@isomer13]

Thanks, Justin.

[@richardt6277]

Thanks for the advice. Got several of them near me, going to give it a try.

Just subbed thanks for what you do dude

[@davidmorrisii69]

I hope someone except me knew what the root bark was used for, lol!

[@HollySeaton84]

This will work for substitution for MHRB in extraction???

[@GoldenLife-uq2ms]

AWESOME!

[@jocohenv7824]

Thanks again Justin for all the good info. I have always loved this tree and the blooms are beautiful and they smell so sweet. I'm so glad I'm learning about the bark, did not know that. I have I have one big tree in the neighbor's yard that overflows into mine so I'm hoping to get some blooms, I do have a lot of little stragglers from that tree growing in a retaining wall that I just don't want to cut down cuz I love this tree so much! If I wanted to plant it is it the seed pods that come later on in the fall after the blooms that I should plant?

[@MrTrecutter1]

It will turn pink if you add a little citus acid. Pretty cool 😎

[@myfuturepuglife]

very nice! Thank You!

[@rickt1866]

I'm going to make a tea

[@Mudcat86]

You taught me something new today. I still have a hate hate relationship with that tree 😂

[@SinaBrush]

Yes, yes, it is a 'dirty' tree, right? People are the ones polluting the earth and you don't understand there is a reason for leaves and flowers falling to earth. Too bad for the tree you don't see it for its true natural value. Humans are so short sighted.

[@randybeeson3424]

Justin I can't believe this popped up, I was just watching KZbins on Mimosas yesterday. From what I gather, tea or tincture the bark or flowers and the leaves are edible raw or cooked. Avoid the beans however. I'm gonna try some soon.

[@SiminFarahani-dv6eo]

Thank you

[@theyoungfalconer8054]

This mimosa tree is it the same as the mimosa pudica ??

[@ghetinknotabush8602]

I gave mimosa tea from the bark a try. I used more than a teaspoon to a cup of water. My mix was a cup of each.I did not "feel" any different. Where did I err?

[@sylviagallardo9355]

Mimosa tree.. hmmm ,I love the name ! But I hate the darn tree! it grows everywhere!! 🥺 Just now learned it’s medicinal.. Wow!!

[@shannonherb2048]

Dang man, looks easy peezy. I have a lot of Mimosa trees.

[@richardrogers567]

Have you heard of making jelly with the blooms?

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I have not. Ive had honey suckle jelly and herd of kudzu bloom jelly so i cant see why you cant

[@debbieroberts1611]

I saw something on KZbin about it. It was a short and I wasn't able to see instructions.

[@richardrogers567]

I have had honey suckle jelly but not kudzu . I've had corn cob jelly and it is amazing.

[@davidmorrisii69]

I got the all white version

[@maryanderson1751]

My neighbors mimosa tree is dying and I haven’t been able to harvest any yet. I planted 4 this year but it’s going to be awhile. My friend Dana swears by it Mimosa trees generally live 30 years

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

This one died year before last in dry weather and it came back

[@ImpulseAyala]

Hey great video! Been researching this for quite some time and hearing lately that some people have an adverse reaction like a burning sensation in the throat after use. Have you ever experienced this? Or know anyone who has? Another youtuber from the southeast (Feral Forager) recently did a video on mimosa that mentions this. As always, thanks for such excellent content

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I have not but i always have pushed the idea of anytime you use a new plant rub a little on tender skin and see how you react then taste a little and see how you react because people can be allergic to anything and we all react differently

[@baneverything5580]

We have these all over the place in central Louisiana. They`re good nitrogen fixers for the soil and the blooms smell so good. Do you have any idea what creature would eat tiny baby figs smaller than a pea off multiple trees? I`ve never seen this happen. Whatever it is I can`t believe it even found them because there was only about three on each tree so far.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I didn’t know that but i will admit i looked at the grass under these a few weeks back and said this is good for the soil because its much greener where the roots come too

[@Jesus-x3d]

How old is that mimisa tree you planted? How far away from the house should I plant one? I have a small yard. Thanks

[@Jesus-x3d]

I mean the really big round tree in the beginning of the video? Thanks

[@keithbrigman5179]

We had a bunch of mimosas in our yard when I was a kid my dad hated them as they would stop up our air conditioners with the blooms

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I could see that. I planted this one here and my dad said you gonna regret that lol

[@amineduha3448]

Ağacın adi nedir ben hic anlamadım

[@chuckie5671]

I live in Northern West Virginia and haven't seen the Mimosa trees here. Does the tree produce a seed that I can grow?

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

@@chuckie5671 yes it has a seed pod that is poisonous

[@Kelsey-r1p]

Do you dry the flower and bark in a paper bag to store for later?

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I have but i put this all in a tincture as i have the bark growing in my yard

[@sheilakirby5616]

THE MIMOSA TREES ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❣️ HOWEVER THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY INVASIVE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A HIGH MAINTENANCE PLANT *** AS SOON AS THE SEED PODS BEGIN TO SPROUT *** IT'S BEST TO START REMOVING THEM BEFORE THEY BEGIN TO DRY *** BECAUSE ONCE THE SEED PODS DRY OUT THE SEEDS WILL FALL EVERYWHERE AND ARE SO LIGHT THAT THEY WILL BLOW EVERYWHERE ***

[@CaroleSimmons-bk9bm]

Can you use the dried flowers that have fallen on the ground?

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yes

[@denisejohnson8872]

Cool I wanted to no that

[@raymondready7496]

I wonder if its compounds are similar to mimosa hostilis.

[@Jack-r2v9b]

That's the real magic tree

[@independentthinker8930]

They are beautiful, but spread like crazy!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yes they do

[@shannonherb2048]

Yes they do. My hay farmers hate them.

Is this tree the same as what is called a raintree?

Im not sure

Any part of the plant but not its fruit? Odd.

So the leaves go scott free just like that

[@tribalismblindsthembutnoty124]

that kid is growing like a weed!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yes he is .

[@SinaBrush]

The only thing that is 'invasive' on earth is human beings. If the mimosa grows out of the earth unexpectedly, so to speak, there is a reason. I am sorry you are going to cut down the smaller trees, what a loss.
