[@annwright7552]

Fascinating subject great video 👍😊 look forward to the next installment. We have so much knowledge from the past that's still applicable in today's fast paced world.

[@susanolson3611]

Delightful !!! 🙂

[@annosborne7365]

What an interesting video, thank you Kym and Richard, look forward to the Spring for the next one.

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks Ann

[@thierrybilson9634]

Once again, England at its best. Thank you Richard.

[@RichardVobes]

It sure is.

[@vestafairie]

what an honor to meet a wise-woman! thank you for sharing your work and your world, Kym! thank you for the interview, Richard! yes, please, more of these!

[@RichardVobes]

More coming!

[@Rameman33]

Very informative and enjoyable Richard and Kym.

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks very much

[@sarahstrong7174]

I enjoyed that it was a nice relaxing video to watch. Quite medicinal in a way. I feel more chilled & cheerful. Most holistic & I havent even consulted with you personally.

[@MrGreatplum]

This is very interesting - there’s so much that grows around us that’s useful. I look forward to more videos with Kym

[@RichardVobes]

Me too - she seems to have a wealth of knowledge.

[@mat_willment]

I have a friend who has been making herbal tinctures in Kent for many years and I used to help her cut the herbs in the garden and press them to make the tinctures so I found this video very interesting. She is in her 80s now and is still making tinctures and looks very well. It was the most enjoyable job I've ever done.

[@RichardVobes]

What fun!

[@deanmc178]

hello kym and richard,,love the video on herbs ,,

[@PortsladeBySea]

Fascinating film. Having worked in mental health for many years I am fascinated by what Professor Patrick Holford and Food For The Brain promote. The National HEALTH Service needs to focus more on promoting health, rather than just treating illness. This would be cheaper and prevent much suffering and disability, wether it be physical or mental 👍

[@RichardVobes]

Sounds very sensible to me.

[@merietgenealogy]

I found this very informative, and that Kym presented as very holistic in her approach, and finds out about the whole person. My cautionary tale here - is that people should have a discussion with their GP/health care professional before taking herbal preparations, as these may interact with their prescribed medications by altering absorption, metabolism and excretion. In my lengthy MH career, I have seen many people who have presented with seemingly MH issues when in reality they were experiencing side-effects from the interaction of herbal preparations and prescribed medications.

[@RichardVobes]

Ah yes, very good point. I am sure Kym would check to see what medications people are on - her husband is a doctor.

[@kymherbs]

Absolutely we do check this, as properly trained medical western herbalists we will not dispense anything that is contraindicated with a patients's prescribed meds. Of course what people decide to self-medicate with after delving into Dr Google is a whole other ball game!

[@realgreendress2330]

Fascinating. Looking forward to seeing more, particularly all the lovely herbs growing in summer.

[@RichardVobes]

I will definitely be back!

[@toadstoolze]

Great Vid, good content and good quality, keep up the work Bald Explorer!! Liked and Subbed!!

[@RichardVobes]

Thank you so much. More from Kym and herbs coming very soon!

[@MrNas42]

Kym could well become my new favourite person! That was very enlightening and natural herbs do work! I trust you went away with something to help with your current cold?

[@RichardVobes]

I hope to return soon.

[@Red_____________]

Great video 👍🏻

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks

[@michaelwhite8031]

Love to see more of this !

[@RichardVobes]

Will do!

[@andrewnorris1]

This was so interesting and Kym presents herself in such a nice way and is clearly someone who can really empathize with people. I do hope she manages to set up her own channel.

[@RichardVobes]

Keep nagging her - I am sure it would be a success.

[@andrewnorris1]

Richard Vobes I will. I’ve even suggested that I do the editing just to get this knowledge out there.

[@kymherbs]

OKAY I hear you both!

[@georgetimperley8906]

That is interesting, my dad's friend was going to grow a herb garden, but they didn't in the end, which was a shame. Well done great video 👍

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks, George.

[@tectorama]

Fascinating video. One of the things I like about your videos Richard, is the very good audio. So many KZbinrs rely on their camera microphones. Which make them sound as though they are in their bathroom.

[@RichardVobes]

Oh, the audio is the most important aspect for videos.

[@tonyhayes-piuk]

That was really interesting. I have been educated 😎👍

[@RichardVobes]

Good stuff.

[@ramibu239]

Very interesting. I always appreciate when Dr.'s & the medical world offer natural options over all the drug use. Not many do. I miss my Fibromyalgia specialist that used to work in my Pain Specialist office. She always tried to go this route as much as possible & it did help! Btw...did you speak to Kym on what she could recommend for you to get over your cold?

[@RichardVobes]

Damn - I forgot to ask about my cold. :)

[@ramibu239]

@@RichardVobes 😄😷🤒

[@ramibu239]

Your voice sounded a little better during the live chat earlier so I thought she might have gave you something to fix you right up!

[@sarahstrong7174]

@@RichardVobes Echinacea extract for the immune system & Elderberry syrup for the cough. Elderberry is brilliant. Made a hot drink with Elderberries once & a friend turned up with her little son hacking away, so I gave him some. I told him it was magic potion for getting rid of coughs & the cough was gone within an hour. I warned him it would taste odd but then you kind of expect magic potions to taste a bit funny.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for sharing your exploration of medicine.

[@davidbooth3285]

I’m afraid I just mucked my comment up! I meant to say it gave her hope to the near end!!

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

Richard did she have anything to smoke and did you see a cauldron and a pointy hat anywhere. I got my ESSE and they sent me a EWP and I ordered a EWB so it did not come with my boiler or the extended wood box so now I have to work with the dealer to get what I paid for but she's a beauty.

[@RichardVobes]

So pleased you got your Esse, but oh no! Sounds liek you had the same issue I had. I retro fitted the water boiler with Mr Suggett. But it was a faff!

[@georginacox3909]

I was looking for herbs yesterday and am getting two real red pansies.

[@RichardVobes]

Very nice.

[@georginacox3909]

@@RichardVobes yes Good Morning

[@davidbooth3285]

When my wife was had cancer and conventional medicine could do no more for her,she went to a Chinese herbalist! At that stage it could do no good,but she thought it would

[@RichardVobes]

It is always good to have hope.

[@andycapp2539]

That was different but I enjoyed it I do think you should of included the price of some of the herbs, as my herbalist is expensive, £90 for 14 grams

[@mandyofmarymac]

Ouch!

Blimey!
