I am almost 70, a nurse in good health, and I have found that if you concentrate on preventing inflamation in the body, you don't get sick and pain is minimal. You hit this in more than one way. What you eat, and the herbs you use as supplimentation, and the vitamin/mineral/hormonal type suppliments you take to maintain your levels all help to keep you in good health. I'm learning about the medicinal weeds growing in my yard and just made my first goldenrod oil for a pain rub. It's amazing what is free around us that our ancesters knew about.

[@heydeej2]

I've been mentoring under Mary for 3 years now and I can honestly say that she is not only very knowledgeable but also contemporary! She stays up-to-date on current trends and methods for today's society. I'm so blessed to have her as my teacher!

[@PrayNow4all]

It was very encouraging to hear Mary Corvin mention Creeping Charlie/Ground Ivy as a favorite go-to herb. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I discovered that it's medicinally beneficial. So having a LOT of it in our yard, I harvested, washed, dried, and began tincturing it. It still has 4-5 weeks to go. Thanks for the great interview/video!

This book 📖 has just leaped to the top of my wish list. I’m only two years into my journey at 64 and listening for God’s still small voice resonating in my spirit and as a result this Spring a fibromyalgia flare was shorter than ever before and not as debilitating as the pain filled flare last year from end of March to September 28th. I’m so thankful for God leading me on this journey

My daughter fell into the prescriptions for everything trap. From the time she was born i was studying herb and natural nutrition, so she knows but as a young adult she rebelled against what I had taught her, I'm 84 and do not use any prescriptions, at 56 she is grossly overweight and is taking dozens of prescriptions at all hours of the day. 😢😢 it's so sad that the poor me is better than trying to get better.

[@NatureScapesStudio]

Same. I’m It your age but at 70 I e gotten healthier. My 47yo daughter though became a nurse so she discounts what I’ve learned about herbs. Yet I hardly get sick and she has something every few months.

Monday I thought I was coming down with a cold. So I took some Echinacea. I took it again Tuesday morning and then went to my doctor appointment. The nurse took my temperature and I had over 100 degrees so she gave me a Covid test. I was positive. They gave me a prescription for Paxlovid, but when I found out that it was over $1500 and I have no insurance I went to work going through my medicinal apothecary looking for tinctures I could use. I'm so happy I had them already made up. I also make and sell medicinal teas so besides the tinctures I was drinking my teas. By Thursday my temperature was back to normal and very little coughing. By Friday night I was feeling like my normal self again and today, Saturday, I was up, dressed and getting some things done I hadn't been able to do all week. Of course, I know I'm not completely over it, but I am over the worst of it and it's all because of resting and taking my herbs!

[@southernroots2229]

What tinctures are good for covid? What did you take?

[@RoseFelton]

@@southernroots2229 I'm not sure what tinctures are good for covid, but the ones I took were a mullein and marshmallow tincture, echinacea, willow tincture for pain and headache, Oregon Grape Root tincture as an antibiotic and since I make my own medicinal teas I drank several different ones, but mostly ones for colds and flu that have elderberry in them. I did read somewhere that Sweet Wormwood is good for the Corona Virus, but I did not have any so can not say if it would be good or not.

[@hellequingentlemanbastard9497]

My Great-grandmother was a Healer/Wise woman, like the women before her for hundreds of years. When she died, I was 6 at the time, my mother, who's a fervent believer in a benevolent Big Pharma Industry, burned all her Note-books as nonsense - because in between the instructions there had been the lines of so many "Hail Mary's" and so many "Lords Prayers" for each and every application of her natural medicines. Since the knowledge in those books had been collected over hundreds of years by all the women in the family before her, all those prayers were just an insurance against the Church and the Inquisition. After all, how many women haven't been burned at the stake or hanged for witch-craft? And then, it was so much nonsense that before her death, medical Doctors from the area did send people to her that they couldn't help any longer and had given up upon. She had a over 90% success rate in healing these people or saving their Lives. I'm still pissed off about that more than 50 years later about all that knowledge lost to wilful "modern" Ignorance.

okay, I will try really hard to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she meant women with a uterus as opposed to women who have had them removed.

Homesteaders know what is up and what is down, what parts fit together and what don't and who has which parts! Please Carolyn, could you clarify what she meant?

Actually stopped listening at that point. I think her book leads you through projects, but other than that, seriously, what is different from the other 6 medicinal herbs books that I already have?

[@wandaeby6367]

My question is about dosing for children. I assume you can’t use tinctures made with alcohol. Do you have to use glycerin etc as the menstrum? And at what age/weight would you be able to switch to alcohol. I’m asking because it’s my understanding alcohol pulls the most benefit from the herb plus a longer shelf life.

[@hannahsemple]

The alcohol content in tincture dosages for children is really small so tinctures can be used. Dosage is only 0.5ml for a 5 to 10 year old.

Wormwood is known botanically as Artemisia absinthium. Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is also a type of Artemisia. Mugwort and Wormwood are often used interchangeably but they are different

[@BrawndoTheThirstMutilator]

I’ve been into wild edible plants for a long time and recently this past year I have expanded into herbalism, mainly foraging wild herbs in my immediate area. The crossover was easy as I already knew basic plant identification techniques and terms and many of the wild edible plants are medical. My main question in which I can’t seem to find an answer in any of my books is how long do the tinctures and infused oils remain viable for? I have a combination of dried herbs, tinctures, and infused herbs including yarrow, self-heal, St. John’s wort, bee balm, and wild basil to name a few. How often should I replace my infusions, oils, and dried herbs?

[@sandrajacobs5107]

When you journalism your findings, do you have a book for each herb? Or do you right your finding per recipe ingredient? My notes is on my computer, but they all over the place, I want to consolidate, but don't know where to begin!
