Tincture is dry herb strength of 1:5, 1 herb, 5 alcholic or hydro-alcoholic...........An Extract is generally done with fresh herb if possible. Liquid Extract is 1:2 of dry or fresh. This is generally picking fresh, drying then process. 1 part herb 2 of your wine...Fresh Plant Fluid Extracts use the Freshly picked and are done by weight/volume 1:1. Extract purpose is to bring the Extract to as close to an actual plant as possible, in smell, taste, color... Excellent book is Naturopathic Handbook of Herbal Formulas. It will show you the other types of Extracts using US Pharmacopoeia Extracts which is concentrated using vacumn and heat extractions, there are several of those. If you can't find the book I could take photos of the pages showing differences. Extracts are also the ones you would mix different herbs and can use the oils you like...The Author? is Herbal Research Publications. It has a lot of info on compounding as well. I have a lot of herb books, this is by far the most concise and thorough giving the formula, and everything that goes with it, including uses and doses, complimentary compounds, cautions etc. I love how it gives emphasis on the importance of healthy plants, Nature, working with the Mind and body of plant to bring out the healing elements.

This is the best video full of wonderful knowledge. I have to keep coming back to review. Wild lettuce is powerful but the sedative effects reduce its usefulness for daytime use. Doesn’t seem to have lingering drowsiness during the day if taken at night. Still waiting on My herbal patch to grow enough to make the pain tinctures. Excited to try. So want off opioids. I think my pain level contributes to my high blood pressure. Which may be normal natural reaction. You made me think about that differently.

As many know, shingles can be very painful. I made a strong lemon balm tea and applied it directly on the sores 2-3 times daily, then drank the rest of the cup of tea. The shingles dried up faster and the pain was greatly reduced. It has been used for all herpes outbreaks including fever blisters, genital outbreaks and chicken pox. Hope this helps someone.

Critically important when you take turmeric is to combine it with black pepper and something with a lot of fat in it. These two things are a must for absorbing turmeric. I put whole milk and black pepper and the turmeric but also add cinnamon because the flavor for golden milk is very strong. It does work though. 👍

[@RainCountryHomestead]

It is not as important as you think to take with black pepper and/or fat, though yes, the piperine DOES help increase the uptake, there are many things that help, which is good because many people cannot take black pepper due to allergies or other health issues. I go over the many things that turmeric can be combined with to increase its bioavailability in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKrbmpKtgpurpdU

[@annieb8928]

I have been told of the recipe for golden milk by an Indian guru and it included a little almond oil which would increase your fat for absorption of the tumeric.

[@watchandpray8918]

@@annieb8928 I think you can use any type of natural oil like coconut or almond (as long as it isn't one of those than boosts inflammation) to catalyze absorption. I found combining it with milk to be fine but I quit using turmeric because when I had a CAT scan they told me there was a kidney stone although it's asymptomatic. It was measured 4 mm which is below what usually causes issues.

my hubby had a headache that wouldn't go for 2 weeks, painkillers did nothing to relieve it. Eventually I convinced him to let me help him. I made a warm poultice out of whole chamomile and calendula flowers, (calendula has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties and chamomile acts as a muscle relaxant). I let the poultice sit on the back of his head and neck for about 10 minutes and after that he said the headache was completely gone. Thank you so much for the video, it was really interesting and informative. As a side note, both turmeric and chamomile have blood thinning properties, so if you're already on blood thinners for high blood pressure be careful to not have too much internally. Comfrey root is also excellent for pain and healing. Keep up the good work and God bless!

Also, Lavender oil is fantastic directly onto bites and stings, immediately stops itching and has the additional benefit of acting as a repellent so it's having a double benefit. Tea tree used directly onto toenails for fungus as it is a natural anti fungal, takes some months as toenails take a lot longer to grow out than fingernails but tea tree oil is so much cheaper than shop bought treatments. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge and enthusiasm for the natural things that our planet offers.

[@ProudPatriot007]

Thank you so much for that Tea Tree Oil tip. I had back surgery and went to physical therapy at a big health center. I ended up getting a toe nail infection. I dropped a can of veggies on my bare foot and it kinda cracked the nail. I didn’t think anything about it and went on to therapy in the pool and then I’d sit in the hot tub after. I showered there but I always kept flip flops on. So, somehow, either the pool or the hot tub gave me an infection on my injured toe. It has been years now. I get it to clear up and it comes back. Especially if I paint my toenails. I’ll take the polish off in about two weeks and there will be a black spot. Right now they look perfectly fine but I know it will come back! It’s so annoying. I’m for sure gonna try your suggestion. That is one thing I haven’t tried. Thanks again!

I have so much pain with lupus and multiple autoimmune, the wild lettuce which I use as a triple tincture all winter, and eat raw all summer. It is my go too. I find the bitter is good for my digestion and my blood sugar when I eat raw. I also dry grind and use as capsules. By the way growing up my horse loved this stuff. And some of the herd would literally protect their patch.

[@doris8595]

Any suggestions where I can buy wild lettuce? I can’t find locally :( nor on Amazon

[@chris109]

I’m glad you brought up wild lettuce. The problem I faced was, which one? There are several types. And also, the white sap is supposed to be the most powerful part, but the wild lettuce I’ve found, had no sap, or very little. But, one thing that did help with pain in my neck & shoulder area, is peppermint oil. I was watching The Homegrown Gardener, Dr. Patrick Jones, & he recommended peppermint oil, either under your nose or at the back of your head, where your neck meets your head. That’s where I put it & it worked! My doctor wanted to give me injections in the area, & I didn’t want them, but the pain was getting so bad I almost said ok to him. Thank goodness for Dr. Jones! I think I’ll try it under my nose & see how that works. Thank you so much for this information! My goal is to do what you are doing.

[@artsydaisy]

I did a search for “identifying wild prickly lettuce” and found several videos that were great for identifying them. I believe there are two types and both work well. I also believe that what time in the life cycle you harvest will yield more or less sap. But you can just use the entire plant and make a tincture or liniment. Either one will make good medicine. I use a liniment that I made, topically for osteoarthritis… works GREAT!

[@reibersue4845]

I've been looking into it a lot. I'm having trouble with apps and Google lens in getting a good ID on plants I suspect are wild lettuce. In my research, it seems that they are using the common names interchangeably between different species of lettuce. If I'm correct, and the I fo on the internet seems incomplete so I am relying on books too, the species Lactuca Virosa is the one called wild lettuce or opium lettuce and is the one with the more potent sap. Strangely, there is very little I can find on the internet to positively ID this species. Lactuca Seriolla people also call wild lettuce but it really should be called prickley lettuce. There is a 3rd species called Lactuca Canadensis. Both Seriolla and Canadensis are less potent than Virosa. I'm eyeing 2 weeds growing in my garden to see how the flowers bloom because it helps me be 100%sure that it is what I suspect it to be. And to harvest you wait for it to start blooming because it has its full height and potency then. Hope this helps.

Now in 2022 it is becoming more difficult to receive help with pain relief from doctors. I have heard of very difficult situations of where a patient is sent home from the hospital with only Tylenol. It is probably driven by the illegal drugs pouring in to our country and doctors don’t want to take risk. This forces each individual to search and research ways they can provide for self care. Saying all that to say thank you for reposting this 1 year video. I found it to be very informative.

Prickly lettuce works great as a liniment. I made a liniment with 50% isopropyl alcohol and put it in a spray bottle. It is effective on my osteoarthritis and my plantar fasciitis pain. (I use other things for the inflammation aspects) But prickly lettuce is very good for an almost instant pain reliever. I only use it topically. So no worries with other herbs or meds interfering or my gut.

Who knew there were so many That took a bit The two types growing in the bark were beneficial and not the toxic varieties So I made tea with the bark and added a few mint leaves because it didn't have much of a smell After about five minutes the pain was gone For the next two months before my dentist appointment I drank the tea as needed It also seemed to help with the infection Thank you for making this video I use many of the same herbs in teas, cooking, oils and tinctures I've found the most benefit from eating them Oh and turmeric activates best the last 7 to 10 ten minutes of cooking when you add make sure to add black pepper and oil to reap the best benefits

Let the water cool an put in a clean spray bottle and spray on the infected area every few hours for around 3 days.

Heidi, When I first got into essential oils I found there was so much contradiction between companies and safe vs non safe internally etc etc. It wasn’t until after my daughter had an adverse reaction to me diffusing in her bedroom for a bad cold that I found out that EOs need to be in their purest form and distilled properly. I had purchased a synthetic brand that was actually burning her throat! Talk about feeling like a horrible mom! I learned a lot from Dr Josh Axe and ended up getting mine thru him even tho they were more expensive… great video btw!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yes, there are cheap synthetic ones out there but just because an oil is not expensive like the two big Multi Level Marketing brands does not mean they are not pure. I use only NOW because they are not only pure, and have been around a long time, because they are a large but family own business in the US, they can source herbs in higher quantities in order to keep the cost down. This is why their oils are not as expensive as other brands while still being high quality. I tried one of those highly expensive brands, Young Living, and was not at all impressed. I had been using NOW for years by that point and side by side comparison, they were not any stronger than NOW and some I did not even like as much

[@user-22-]

I *only* use Rocky Mt. Oils. They’re pure, true but pricier. You get what you pay for, & Young Living is totally a MLM co. & *not* pure. Do not believe the hype it’s like a cult to me.. weird.

[@karenwalls1057]

I Luv Dr.Josh Axe he is very informative I have not yet bought my EOs from him yet I used to use all young living😅 and I have switched to Revive I do still use yl but I definitely want the 100%seed to seal.Ty and God Bless everyone who helps us with all these homemade remedies. I have helped so many of my family and friends with my pain creams , roll on immunity boost etc.I even helped my Aunts friend who had cancer and shingles he told me the pain cream I made him helped him 80% he said he had not felt that good in a very long time. So I get all my info just as Heidi says from books add this add that type of thing.❤🙏

I followed Old Alabama Gardeners crock pot recipe for Comfrey Salve. It absolutely, positively works for muscle, joint and skin pain. Not just my opinion but the opinion of 4 others I gave some to. Also, I have compressed L5/S1 vertebrae in my back. This salve takes out the pain when it flairs up. My husband back issues too.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

This is why I add dried comfrey leaves to my muscle and joint rub oil infusion these days along with arnica flowers and peppermint leaves

New subscriber here, you are awesome and so helpful and I appreciate everything you do for all of us, especially those who don't have the money to buy medicine, I am currently studying natural herbs and meds in an online college course and I find it fascinating and I'm using what you are teaching me as I watch your videos daily about different ways to implement this in my own life and to help with my studies so thank you so much and praise God for sending you my way.

Okay you prob know now since this vid is a year old but I didnt want to dig up my echinacea either but.... I put some in a pot with dirt indoors under my grow light and boom started some for next spring.and had some for my new tincture. I wasnt sure it would work and I got 2 going with prayers lol

White Willow Bark totally works. I was in a lot of body pain from shoveling snow and I took 2 capsules of White Willow Bark and within 20 mins my pain was gone. I have a high tolerance to most things, so for this to work that good, I am a believer in White Willow bark for pain. Dragon's blood, Boswallia (Frankincense)and pretty much any tree resin works great for arthritis and digestion issues relating to parasites. Also, any kind of mint or hot peppers is good for pain since it gets your circulation going and adds warmth. Catnip is in the mint family. So I could understand how catnip is good for pain.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yes, I have since tried white willow and it works fine, I still prefer my homemade recipe, especially since I started adding valerian leaf and honey, Both of these took it over the top. the hone makes it easier to consume and the valerian leaves just adds more kick at knocking out pain and calming the nerves. Here is my updated recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ7ChoFtqLmZp8k

Yes, I realize this video is over a year old but so what. Still good info. I have been experimenting lately with lemon and peppermint oils applied topically for joint pain. They are working well.

Frankincense actually increases cortisol significantly we have found upon saliva testing. So study whether that is what you want or not. Short term, increased cortisol can be an anti-inflammatory but long term, increased cortisol can lead to belly fat and reduced immunity.

[@reneespies4439]

What kinda saliva test did you use??

[@pinschrunner]

@@reneespies4439 I sell adrenal saliva test kits and many others. The adrenal one tests for cortisol 4x per day

[@jalenejohnson8484]

Prolonged increased cortisol also causes problems with memory loss which can often precursor cognitive impairment, dementia. There are ways to heal from prolonged increased cortisol but it’s been a long road. Thank you Heidi for your videos among many I’ve found on my journey 💜

[@pinschrunner]

@@jalenejohnson8484 prolonged increased cortisol usually results in adrenal fatigue, then exhaustion. If you were still in the stage of increased cortisol, you are blessed that it was caught in time because the exhausted.cortisol supply rarely can be depleted endogenously once exhausted.

[@jalenejohnson8484]

@@pinschrunner 🤷‍♀️ no idea about any of that. Years ago there was lots of stress. Stress kept coming. I didn’t really have help medically for it so there was nothing “caught.” After the fact my son years later is undergoing testing and I find myself waiting with a plethora of neuropsych books in the waiting from for a day and a half which is where I read what it increased cortisol does. Only then did things start clicking into place for why I was forgetful… why my memory started having so many holes. That was a couple decades ago. Since then I’ve been trying food as medicine to include powerhouses like lions mane. It’s been helping. I still struggle… the problem isn’t fixed… it’s helped though…. And I’m gonna take anything I can get! 😉

[@skyd.2084]

Oh yes experimentation is key 🔑 yea play around with it all and see what works best for you ❤💯👍 My favorite essential oils are the peppermint, lavender, rosemary, yes the Frankenstein lol yup you also can ingest the Frankenstein make sure it's organic and food grade it's anti cancer/ kills the fungus aka the big C yup!

Funny wild lettuce story. I enjoy making green smoothies in the morning and thinking it was dandelion I would put a huge handful in every morning into the blender with fruit. I was wondering why I was so sleepy during the day until I looked it up. My partner uses it for pain relief for chronic back issues but I do believe you can take too much of it.

[@KKing55]

I have found that being vitm D deficiant, Mega doseing helps my lower back pain by loads and loads.

[@navip1927]

I live with severe chronic pain daily myself, it's worst in my back. Two natural remedies that work well for me are kratom and devil's claw. Wild lettuce is also in my pain arsenal too lol I have so many herbs that I cap myself in liwder form

[@artsydaisy]

OMG I’m chucking!! But I’ve had a lot of success with a liniment I made with it… I didn’t want to take it orally… so the liniment is great! I spray it on my ankles and knees for osteoarthritis pain.

[@tinnerste2507]

I grew a bunch of these, and also meadowsweet for pain relief, but i havent had a chance to harvest and dry them yet. We had a pretty miserable growing year! And a rainy one too. My marshmallow only got knee high ! But il come back to this in a few months for sure

[@ms.docileone]

an issue i've had is an allergic reaction to something i had previously not known was a concern. i was just starting to learn about herbs to help me with some health concerns. i had read in several spots that hops were good for women's health around menses so i tried it - i had in the past drank beer without reaction, but when i took straight hops i figured out i was allergic to hops and afterward had reactions to drinking beer. i have found a few things i've become allergic or sensitive to as i age. i advise trying small amounts at first and then if there is no reaction (except what is hoped for!) then continue.

Lavender essential oil really helped my shingles, gone in 2 days.

[@greenrage2484]

Thanks for the video Heidi. Good as always.. Any good herbalist likes to keep trying to find the perfect blend.. So we become an alchemist. And always with improving in mind. My favorite topical pain reliever is St. John's Wort. It has been mostly thought of as a basic mood disorder remedy... however it is my favorite as a topical application for pain in the form of infused oil. In fact for me, it is really amazingly effective. I also will do a blend of infused St. John's Wort oil and infused comfrey oil to make a salve out of. In addition I will often use topically Magnesium oil with what ever EO I desire use of.. Chamomile, or peppermint, or lavender. It is so nice to have our pick of whatever we decided to work up when the bounty was there for the pickin during the summer.

[@jacobspranger1267]

Comfrey is an excellent one
