Good morning Weedy! Finally got to watch the video. Good video. Love herb gardens. Passion flower grows wild here. I can smell it in the hay fields when we pull into one. Not all are sprayed with herbicides thank goodness. Those are my favorite meadows.

Thankyou Weedy for producing such a great video! It has been an absolute delight to film and grow with you. I hope everyone loves the video and finds it informative. Elle, Australian Medicinal Herbs xxx

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Hey girl :-) It is the most popular video out of my last ten, so that` a good sign. Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us 🙂

[@thomaslancashire1]

Amazing information. Can I ask is there any links to scientific studies on these herbs that confirm the medicinal benefits outlined?

[@volt8399]

Thank you Elle!

[@sherrelle.dolphin]

Thank you both 🌺

[@Australian_Medicinal_Herbs]

So many Thomas! I have some scientific journals as links on my website but also look up PubMed as there are now a LOT of scientific journals that show the efficacy of these beautiful plants 🌱

[@Sundancer8]

My farm on Barbados has gradually evolved into a medicinal herb garden from which I harvest an extraordinary variety of aromatic and bitter herbs, I process and dry leaves, wood, bark, seeds, flowers and fruit into value added products for my pop-up-apothecary at a local farmer's market. In addition to all the air-dried stuff and curious blends thereof, I sell a very effective "Bush Tea" tonic which contains Hibiscus, Tulsi, Lemongrass and Mint for pleasant flavour, and additional powerful adaptogens and cleansers from our shamanic traditions like Noni and Damiana which make it easier to see the fairies who live in the garden... and others which tend to be bitter like Quassia and Papaya Leaf which drive all ugly-buglies out of your blood and bowels post haste. It's very meaningful work and you are always an inspiration. Thanks Weedy.

Thanks herb master 😊 🧚🏻‍♀️

How would somebody in America get your teas? I lived in Germany for a while and fell in love with hibiscus tea. Thanks from North Carolina, USA.

Very good

Lemon balm in a tincture is good for anxiety also

Mullein tincture cured my life long asthma. When I get a cold, I use daily and nips it quickly.

[@Trip_Johnson]

I can't wait for the next video! Alcohol vs. water vs. oil extraction? what's the best temperature? Is drying with a little heat ok? What about freeze drying? How do all of these things effect the medicinal content of the finished teas/tinctures/extracts? So many questions!

[@suzishealthyhome8678]

The majority of herbs will have some sort of clinical study done on it. It will say ethanolic extract (where you'd use vodka), aqueous extract (water) or it will say freeze dried or dried at a certain temp. Oil extraction with dried herbs either left in a jar or slow and super low heat. These are usually with the ones you can't ingest like arnica and comfrey.

[@suzishealthyhome8678]

Just search the latin name with "clinical study"

[@gavinduncan2360]

You need a professor

[@DGibsonxio]

​@@suzishealthyhome8678arnica is not too be used internal? I take little tablets that help with back pain. Too many bumpy tractor rides set that off big time.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Great video, David.

[@FurFeathersandFlowers]

I tried using the dried passion flower to make tea in hopes that it would aid in sleep, it did not. I also tried a tincture, it did not help either but no one told me was that it was an accumulator. So, back to square one, going to plant it again and give it another try. Luckily I can grow 4 out of 5 plants here in Florida and have some already. Enjoyed the video as usual and found it informative and interesting. You really do produce such polished videos!

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Thanks. Yeah, try it every day for a week or two.

[@FurFeathersandFlowers]

3:13 love this, and mullen! The basis of all my smoking blends. Usually when trying to taper off of tobacco, we recommend starting in halves. Half herbs half tobacco and then as you're ready you taper off to another half doing a quarter tobacco working your way down to a level that satiates your desire to smoke, well allowing you to go off the nicotine at your own pace

I love the smell of tulsi and enjoy the tea

[@jesse_knows_nothing]

Where I live (northeastern United States) mullein grows absolutely EVERYWHERE. I've always known it to be good for the lungs but never processed it myself. The stalk, once dried and trimmed, makes an excellent tool for starting fires. I'm not sure how to describe it but it's the method of rubbing or spinning it back and forth in your hands while simultaneously pressing down on it while it rests on a small plank of wood, typically cedar or pine works best. The friction from this motion is hot enough to light tinder which can then be used to start your fire

[@TheWeedyGarden]

Greetings from the woods of rural North Carolina, USA! Although I’m Native American, most of the knowledge of using plants and herbs has been prohibited and squashed, thanks to John d Rockefeller. I moved back to my hometown after spending my adult life in the city and I’m trying to learn. I found Nicole Apelian and her ‘weed’ book that’s a great help. Thank you for sharing. I just found you this morning.

The hibiscus is sorrel, that what we call it in Jamaica. It makes really nice juice. Boil it in a pot of water with ginger. Or you can boil up a pot of water & then throw in the sorrel, ginger & cover for about 2 hours then strain it.

[@rayosborne8479]

Indeed sorrel over here in Antigua

[@paulawagstaff686]

Thank you, I knew that wasn't hibiscus

[@andreeapreda3108]

The fact that you are calling it sorel doesn't mean is not hibiscus. It is. Hibiscus Sabdariffa...it's latin name ​@@paulawagstaff686

[@DGibsonxio]

I think names are handed down from one generation to the next and it doesn't matter if they are correct everywhere. In America it would indeed be called hibiscus. And sorrel is a low growing plant with lance shaped lemony tasting leaves. The only way to get the same plant buy the correct names is for everyone to learn Latin and use the correct botanical names. But it is good that we can learn to connect those plants to their regional names.
