Herbalism: Ideas & Supplies For Your Home Apothecary!

[@TheHoneystead]

Hey friends- Check out Homestead Living Magazine ✨ homesteadliving.com

[@brandyh3536]

I'm so glad you talked about Mama! I've been wondering where she was and if she was ok. I didn't know if I had missed a video talking about something that happened or whatever. But didn't want to be nosey and ask where she was either.

[@TheHoneystead]

Oh yes! She is well! Just A LOT of big things in life has made it more of a challenge, but I'll be sharing more later on!

[@dcsblessedbees]

@@TheHoneystead Cool cool I had been wondering how the mom and gram was doing. Thanks for letting us know, Glad yo know everyone is doing well with the family.😁

[@kirklunsford7530]

Thank you, God bless.

[@pegasus3970]

I use painter's tape to label my herbs. It is not pretty, but removes easily when I want to wash them.

[@medicinemom3620]

A tip on jars is post online on local pages for used glass - spaghetti, pickle jars, carlo rossi, jams, anything. I was blown away by how many people stash glass because they hate throwing it away, but have no use for it. People were happy to give me their garbage. Also easily collected stuff to care for stray cats. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there! People always got too much crap laying around and i have found they're happy to support a good cause.

[@emilymiller1792]

We use china (etc) fairly frequently. As often as I can, we have a finely set table and a family dinner--a Fancy Friday or a Super Sunday. We light candles, bless our kids, and thank God for our blessings. The kids ask for it if we have gotten too busy and have not taken the time to set a fine table and have a good, leisurely dinner as a family.

[@Minnehaha64]

Thank you for the advice! I started my journey about 4 years ago, and still don't know much!😂 I took over my sewing/craft room for all my herbal preparations and other ingredients. It has a North window, but the cupboards have solid doors. I use my kitchen for all of the things I do. Yes! I save those kombucha bottles, too. I have gobs of them!! I think it's Brew Dr. brand. I use a couple of dehydrators, but I also have a couple of collapsible drying racks as well. For some herbs, I like to use the brown paper bag with holes punched in it. It just depends what I feel works best. I always learn something old 😉 when I listen to your videos!

[@smallspaceprepping]

Hi Kaylee, I love the information you share on your channel. I have started my own small apothecary. I don't have a big space nor a yard where I can grow them myself, but have bought the herbs from good sourcing companies. I so appreciated this video! God bless.

[@CocoNaty]

Other great idea. Dark Wine bottles with screw on caps. For tinctures

[@djjay-kay7636]

I thought I was the only one😂❤

[@Echo_blu]

I took over some cabinets in my hallway. 😆 works great. Top portion for dried and lose leaf herbs, bottom portion I have my tinctures brewing along with supplies. You definitely don't need a lot of space to begin. The most important piece is just to start and have fun. Take your time, learn about the herbs and contraindications. ❤.

[@karenmalloy8899]

Thank you so much!! I am a brand new herbalist in my early 60’s finally doing what I’ve been wanting to do for a long time 😊 I appreciate you 🙏🏻

[@yilol]

Commendable

as a chef I LOVE your dedication to organization

[@amysheffield9583]

[@ChefboyRLG]

Hello I just found you too and I just started trying to learn how to take care of my family by using plant care for medicine instead of the store bought stuff. I’m really new at this maybe a little late but I’m still going to try and learn as much as I possibly can. Thank you 🙏🏼.

[@LynnNichols-t5x]

You are so motivating !!! Today I’m painting an old hutch to start my apothecary. In February I’m starting a Master Herbalism certification course thru Trinity school. I’m so excited. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@TheHoneystead]

🙌🙌🙌

[@bradlafferty]

I can’t believe you presented this today. I was debating whether to sign up for an online herbal Energetics course, if it really was the right thing to do. Your words of encouragement about helping others and one’s family really hit home. Thank you. I think that I was meant to see this.

[@missourigirl4101]

Thanks for sharing your set up. I was wondering and stumbled on this video tonight while canning pickles.

[@lisavitale8410]

Kaylee, thank you for sharing your videos with your viewers. I love the wealth of knowledge you share. Your apothecary set up is amazing! I love cabinet colors and how you’ve organized your herbs. I miss seeing your mom in the videos too. The two of you work together so nicely.

[@countrygirlgramma]

I enjoy all your video's. I've started my apothecary and I've done a few Tinctures and salves. Your video's are so helpful.

[@samanthahoos9827]

❤I have jarred herbs, tinctures and infusions on every shelf in my home so my husband bought me a label maker to look nicer displayed. I grow and create tea blends, bag them, jar them and make notes in my herbal journal to help create again. I’ve recently laminated notes and started putting books by herbs for anyone visiting my home to learn in one place. Organization is key!😊

[@butterfly1823]

I cant wait for that magazine ❤

[@cherylb.9766]

I AM SOOO EXCITED TO HEAR YOU WILL HAVE A PHYSICAL BOOK!! I'VE BEEN WAITING LOL ❤🎉

[@maurafornataro3911]

I just found you and have been listening to as many videos as i can in a days time !! I’ve been learning so much thank you !

[@MarshaABranch]

Health-Ade Kombucha. I also use their bottles. The large ones (48 ozs) are my favorite. The glass is so thick. Great quality, better than if I purchase boston rounds. And darker amber too.

[@KokoraLife]

You have such a great space! Love it!

[@clarissajaramillo9976]

Wow. So beautiful ❤ goals!

[@veranicajackson9493]

Thank you your knowledge is so helpful. Blessings

[@dancnluc1]

Thank you for sharing your passion. I started last year, and it is slowly growing. I save amber bottles and check out the thrift stores. I either dyhrate, hang the herbs up or use a drying rack (which I love). It is full right now with herbs drying. Miss seeing your mom, but understand.

[@christinawhite8785]

Miss your Mom. But really enjoyed this video. I have a china hutch that has all my herbs in it. You & your Mom inspired me well over 2 years ago. Thank you! And may God bless all of your endeavors (in his will & his time)!

[@Whythebutterfly]

I just found you and I’m so glad! I’m hoping to start my herbalism studies soon and your channel is just what I need!! ❤

[@wendydove7632]

Wow, you’re amazing you’re only 30some miles from where I live. Hoping that you will teach this winter?

[@dimondDave100]

Your videos --wow. In years past i used supplements to cure my problems and i strongly believe The Lord let me to your channel. I have grown in love with your apothecary over a couple years. The herbs helped me greatly and deeply touched in them that i been wanting to start one next year The Lord willing. Thank you for all your teaching

[@mollynewland27]

So I’m wanting a book to sorta learn with. I’ve watched your videos for a long while 😊 I watched a video where you talk about all the great books to use but if I where to buy say the best one or maybe your favorite Which one would that be😀

[@karenmunch4316]

I LOVE Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs. A beginners guide Great book ❤

[@jkq9717]

Kaylee is 1 million% the real deal! You can totally trust her teachings! ALSO--> the black cylindrical hanging drying rack she uses, I purchased it as well because of her recommendation and I love it. Going to get another one ❤

I haven't been following you for very long, but I've already learned so much from you & I'm now I'm even more excited about my journey into herbalism and learning as much as I can.

I’m so happy that I came across your channel a few months ago. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping me with my journey in learning about herbs. 🌿

[@karindinarda8755]

I got the drying rack last year and I love it. I don't get enough to freeze-dry so the rack can hang and I can keep throwing them on it to dry when ever I find them. I miss seeing your mom on your videos

[@Minee127]

My lil apothecary is in a small cabinet. But I am outgrowing it quickly. Thank you for all your wisdom. BTW you are glowing......

[@nataliealmendarez5729]

I have always loved and thought about opening an apothecary. I found your KZbin videos about a month ago and they have given me the push to follow my intuition. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being so kind. 🐝

[@TheHoneystead]

Go for it!!!!

[@nataliealmendarez5729]

Could you post a list of all the sources you recommend? I know you mention starseed but i know in your others you mention many more as well as were we can source organic seeds.

[@klm4135]

Thank you Kaylee - you are such an inspiration to all of us budding herbalists! Your videos give me so many fantastic ideas and I can hardly wait til I can enroll in your herbal course too!!

[@allie_fallie]

Thank you so much for this! I would love to hear more about your journey with freeze drying. My wife and I are converting a school bus to travel in, wherein I fully intend to forage across the country and gather our plant allies from wild growth (sustainably, of course), and a freeze dryer seems the most natural addition to that process. 💜

[@bonniethomson3697]

I love watching your apothecary videos!

[@cherylb.9766]

It's so good to see you posting more content!

[@TheHoneystead]

More to come!

I want a farmer like yours😊

[@bryonygrealish6663]

I started saving the kombucha bottles! Two for One. 👍👍

[@HalfLatinaJoy86]

GURL God just blessed the heck out of me for my future! I'm in a shelter and the staff at the hygiene center I chatted to about honey and making salves and he told me one of the other staff HAS AN APIARY! Small, private, organic. She talked to me and I told her when I get housing I plan to take a course and mentioned y'all as where I've been learning Herbalism. I want to make body care products and medicinal salves and such to sell and it looks like she may agree to be a future supplier. So cool! And she's going to bring some honey to taste. It's not wildflower, just blackberry but still will be good. I can start there and find a local supplier for wildflower honey later. I also brought up wanting to learn to make mead when I am stable and she said they do that too. Going to see if I can volunteer or work there at some point in the Spring with the bees to learn hands on too. Someday I will have my own honey farm!

[@Davidg1t1]

[@gracekalimaya444]

New to your channel and already love your energy and wisdom! I am a newbie at spinning my herbalist ways, I live in Hawaii and have been blessed to be the caretaker of 3 acres of land on the slopes of the Big Island. Native wild Mamaki has started growing so beautifully and I have started harvesting it, drying it in a repurposed screen fish dry box, and blending it and sharing the tea. Mamaki is a native Hawaiian plant used in La'au Lapa'au, ancient Hawaiian plant medicine, it is magical and so beneficial, I would love to share some with you if you don't already have some! I am enjoying all of your videos and teachings, we are in the process of building our house and will be living on our land within a year and a huge part of my vision is to create an herb garden, medicinal Hawaiian plants and so many others, and to make tinctures and oils and all the things, bee's too, there's so much to learn! I am an energy healing facilitator too and I see myself pairing tea blends or tinctures with the energy work I do for people, it all goes hand in hand and I'm so excited for this next and new part of my souls path to unfold, so thank you for sharing your wisdom your passion your light and your heart! 💚

I found a lot of climbing hempvine. Are you familiar with this herb? I just got started this summer after finding blue vervain. Your mom’s first book was my first as well! 😂

[@sajmt1414]

Great info. Thanks.

[@Blitzenandshalisa]

That is so awesome, I have always wanted land and space, gardens, bee's. I would love to learn all that you do because I want to be able to have something to trade if the world goes crazy. Things are getting harder to buy and harder do in many different things. I would love the magazine information, and I would love to know what to look for as far as good books. I think I saw you have books right? Please put that in the link.

[@Naya-ku8ws]

This video was so fun! I loved learning more about the space. How do I know what my expiration date is for tincture/dried/infused oil? And where can I get your label maker? I love it. Happy to have a mom update! She is great❤

[@cherylb.9766]

I would really love to see you do a seed to use on each herb and mushroom. How to grow and maintain. What parts to harvest. How to store and process. Uses and dosages! It would be quite an adventure!

[@TheHoneystead]

I have a few videos out, but for sure will do more :) I also have ebooks available now and my book will be out next year!

[@amysheffield9583]

Will you be at the Homestead conference this year. I volunteer every year. The only way I can afford to come in to see my favorite people! Like you. I was hoping to see you there I could buy some tea.

[@lesliemangrum6976]

I’m new to herbalism! New here and just started watching your videos! Questions about your course.. do you have worksheets, books, other learning styles included into the course? Or is it mostly video? Also love to know about bee keeping. The amount of honey we use in our household I feel like we’d benefit from beekeeping!

Hi which Homestead Magazines are your articles in?

[@beverlyzoch9042]

Is it safe to use window screen material as a drying rack? My husband said that screens are coated with chemicals that prevent rusting and may not be good for the herbs to dry on. I would appreciate advice on where to buy screening material that I can use to make a drying rack. Thanks

[@dianegeilenfeldt5452]

I so enjoy your UTube channel!!! Thank you for sharing all your info.. What was one of your books that you started reading or using that helped you learn about medical herbs?? With the way the world is going I think herbal medicines are something we really need.

[@cindyknigge6487]

Where can I find more information on your online course?

[@BritanyDalton]

Hello I first want to thank you for all the knowledge and important information you share with your videos. I do have a ⁉️ I love in an upstairs apartment with small balcony in southern WV. Im trying to grow my own herbs plants and such anyway my problem is I'm running into mold and fruit gnats horribly i don't want to use pesticides that are harmful to small children and cats or humans any ideas what I could do or advice would be so great please thanks. ❤❤

[@MOGirlOutside]

Love the videos. What herbalism school did you & your Mom attend? Is it an online course?

[@TheHoneystead]

It was in person at Green Comfort School of Herbal Medicine, but I am reviewing an online course for those who want to become clinical herbalists. If you want to learn for yourself and family/friends, I do have a Home Apothecary Course available!

[@MOGirlOutside]

Thank you!

[@JanuaryLisa]

If one was to order ALL their herbs from one (or more) sources, instead of growing them, which company do you all recommend? Everything literally BAKES here in OK. We've tried. I'm done. I'd rather purchase a stock of herbs and get started instead of waiting each year and failing at growing my own. Maybe some day--but not now. Now, I just want to get started making tinctures and oils and teas and salves, and actually stocking an Apothecary, so I need to buy some! 🌿

[@lbcustomleather]

How do you feel about putting herbs in Capsules compared to tinctures?

[@medicinemom3620]

Oh man i dream of alphabetized organization of my herbs!! My kids harvest, use and make them too so its probably not in my forseable future lol

[@rhondatrumier5530]

It kinda annoys me that so many people just talk freeze drying and how it’s the best. Our ancestors have dried herbs since the beginning of time. They did not have a freeze dryer. I can afford one but at my age I’ve chosen not to make that investment. You can most certainly harvest and dry herbs WITHOUT a freeze dryer. Please don’t let that stop you from enjoying the many blessings of herbs. You need to start today with what you have❤

[@TheHoneystead]

I do love my freeze dryer and actually need to load it up today, but I never want to discourage people from drying herbs if that done have a freeze dryer!
