Foraging Wild Herbs To Get Rid of Rashes

[@nomparfait]

That looks great, looking forward to trying it. BUT may I suggest that when foraging, unless you're going to use the roots, leave them in the ground so the plant can grow back. 😊👍

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

This is a common sentiment but oftentimes misunderstood by well intentioned people. With Yarrow for example, since I'm using the entire above ground portion, cutting and leaving the root will not allow it to grow back so it makes sense to just pull it out completely. Also by pulling it out it allows other plants to grow with less competition, just like thinning in your garden. Notice how with the plantain I just picked the leaves instead of pulling it out? That's because just pulling leaves off stimulates the growth of newer leaves. With the sanicle and Jewelweed, the reasons for pulling are the same as the Yarrow, the plant was going to die anyway. Hope this clarifies for you.

[@marthathompson2012]

Even if you aren’t thinking it will grow back, it’s introducing the possibility of getting that dirt in your harvest, and then there is The Who,e discussion of if it’s generally better for the soil life to not have the soil disturbance. Also, hypothetically, you can harvest the same volume from more plants and thus not kill them. If you’re wanting to have more growing

This information is great thank you very much for taking the time to pick the stuff and make it into a medicine that's all natural

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're very welcome! I enjoy making medicine and am happy to be able to film the process for others to benefit!

[@southerngardenesse]

I'm keeping your instructions for this wash in my apothecary notebook until needed. Thanks!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Great to hear, this will serve you well!

[@whysprs]

Awesome video Josh.. always happy to see when you post.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Glad you enjoyed it, I always happy to see you in the comments!

[@3nertia]

Awesome sauce! I really love the combination here, so you don't really need to know *what* caused the rash, this combo should take care of it regardless; kudos and thanks so much!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Absolutely, this stuff is powerful and really knocks out a lot of skin afflictions.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're very welcome! This wash works wonders! You can also use these plants to make a balm as well that works for the same things, so the recipe is very versatile.

[@ellarussell8769]

My oldest son lives in Seward, AK . There's yarrow everywhere there, and old man's beard. I'm sure there are other useful and medicinal plants there but, I wasn't looking for them. The ones I named just stood out so it was hard to not notice them.

[@micheletwistedstonedtoad9537]

Excellent video Josh and very informative. Loved the pictures showing the effectiveness of the wash. I love making medicine and other concoctions like rose water and such things. Working with plants brings me so much peace and happiness, fills my heart and soul with joy that I give back to my medicine etc through the energy I put into the process. I also use crystals to charge my medicine etc with that particular energy. Most ppl don't believe in the validity of this practice but I know that it works. It's simply a frequency produced by the crystal which is transferred into the liquid. I never put the crystals in the liquid though as it is not necessary and doing so can be harmful since many crystals are toxic if ingested. I put the medicine in a glass bottle and place the crystal beside it and let it do its own work. I have dedicated many many hours over the last few years to understanding how crystals work and I share this information with anyone who is receptive and interested in learning about the subject. It is not complicated at all its simply about vibrations and frequencies. I encourage anyone who has chronic disease/pain or any physical, emotional or mental issues to educate themselves on the subject and then incorporate healing crystals into their treatment of their illness or issue. Sending u lots of blessings for great health, happiness and love in ur life.

[@PureU0Artificial]

Crystals are pretty rocks, they are not meant to be used in the way you’re using them. That is considered as a form of witchcraft. We are not to pervert or worship creation. Please look into this. I suggest looking up Doreen Virtue, Steven Bancarz and a few others.

pulled some more jewelweed today and thought to put it to use, gathered a bunch of plantain-s and wondered not having sanicle if there was yarrow in the mix; Sure enough, good I checked :)

[@mudpiesandholyghost3759]

Thank you for the information!!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You're very welcome!

[@Jo_mommah]

Thank you so much for all the info you share! I’m contemplating freezing in cubes to then apply when necessary. Do you think this would be a good idea?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I don't see it being bad but I can't speak from experience on that. I can say that you can just make a balm from the same ingredients and use it the same way. It lasts a longer time that way.

[@melsterifficmama1808]

@@TrilliumWildEdibles I would love to watch you make a balm!

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

@Melsterrific mama I plan on making a video on the balm in the next month or so! So stay tuned!

[@christiedonnelly7594]

Do you just rub on the area and leave it there or do you apply it with something and wash it off ?

[@kleineroteHex]

Super, I have all growing abundantly in my back yard except the Canadian thingy😁 I was just pulling out some yewelweed, it grows where I don't want it and wondered if I should juice it and freeze in cubes for when needed.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Depending upon where you live, Sanicle will be pretty easy to find. You could also not add it to the mix and still get great results!

[@kleineroteHex]

@@TrilliumWildEdibles going to look into it, but plantain draws stuff out pretty well and helps with itch, at least it worked wonders on my paperwasp sting!!!!

[@KarenUntz]

Does garden yarrow work? (Red blooming)?

[@3nertia]

Upping your question :)

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

It's best to use white and pink Yarrow as other colored varieties can be more irritating in some cases whereas others can be poisonous.

[@wuznotbornyesterda]

That's great if you have all the plants. I don't have any yarrow in my area, nor have I ever heard of the canadian something you mentioned. So what could I do? I would can some jars of this if I can find the plants. Also, I would take the initial water and throw the whole thing in a blender to pulse, then boil it and strain. Or I would chop it up with my chef's knife.

[@wuznotbornyesterda]

Seriously, I have googled many many times anything that could sould like that canadian plant and I can't find the plant or anything similar. Nothing! What names does it have, where dies it grow and what can I use in place of it?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

It's in the description of the video but it's called Canadian Sanicle or Sanicula cansdensis. It grows all over most of the Eastern United States and in several portions of the U.S. west of the Mississippi. Yarrow grows all over the U.S. and in a good portion of southern Canada. So if you can't find Yarrow you might just have to look in other places. If you can't find the Sanicle you can just not add it, the wash will still work very well. Yarrow is an important ingredient though so if you're unable to find it in the wild you can order it online, just make sure it's the white or pink flowered variety as the others can cause irritation or be mildly poisonous.

[@selfhealherbs13ms]

Can I just pick the leaves of yarrow, mine don't have flowers yet.

[@Devilduck721]

I wonder if you turned that into a soap. If it will work better

[@KarenUntz]

Honey heals burns. Stops burn pain.

[@3nertia]

Great for puncture wounds and diabetic ulcers too!

[@selfhealherbs13ms]

Josh do you have seeds from your plantain or yarrow that I can purchase from you.

[@mikedonovan4434]

Use a rolling pin to efficiently macerate leaves. If roots are not used, just cut the parts used in the prep.

I use the same ingredients (plants) to make a salve....which stays.on the affected area longer, and has a lot longer shelf life...just a thought.

[@lessisenough]

Nice content. The only thing I don't understand - why would you pull the whole plant from the ground, when you are using only above ground section of the plant? It is contrary to sustainable way of collecting plants.

@@TrilliumWildEdibles thank you for thorough explanation. Makes sense I guess when you have well established patch of plants.

[@tracicomstock6525]

Could I use this wash to also cleanse my very long hair and scalp?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

You could but I would just use plantain and Yarrow instead of adding the other ingredients. Keep in mind you will want to use a conditioner afterwards as this can be very drying.

[@whysprs]

Also out of curiosity, the wife asked if this would help with MRSA on the skin? I'm guessing with all the plantain in it, that it will. I know plantain has drawn out gang green from a sever burn i had many years ago

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

It should do pretty well. I had MRSA in my cheek several years ago and I used plantain, white oak inner bark, and Yarrow and it cleared it up rather quickly.

[@whysprs]

@@TrilliumWildEdibles awesome.. sucks i cant find yarrow anywhere else around here but along the highways.. went ahead and pulled some today and going to attempt to transplant it.. hopefully it takes

Up to 6 months likely. Otherwise tincture and it holds a long time. If you just use it externally you can use rubbing alcohol, just label well😉

@Annie Corbin Another option is to make a balm from these same plants, I make that as well and it's very nice to have on hand and stores very well.

[@jacquelineencalada8161]

I have purple yarrow will that work?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

It's best to stick to white and pink varieties as other colored varieties can be poisonous if taken internally and externally may be more prone to cause rashes.

[@PureU0Artificial]

Idk where to get those last 2 weeds... I’m in SE MI.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Every plant in this video grows in your area. Also the only two that are considered "weeds" is the Plantain species. The rest are native to our area. For Sanicle and Jewelweed check moist woods around creeks. I do have identification videos on every plant in this video if you are interested.

[@paulashaham6282]

Really? The stems of yarrow?

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

Yes, the whole aboveground part is usable!

[@alyssayoung5330]

I like all of your videos but maybe just clip the plant parts you need instead of killing the whole sacred plant?

[@marthathompson2012]

Why pull up the plants if you aren’t going to use the whole thing? Why not cut it off?

[@chatryna]

I just saw an ad where the actress said she went from buying her peaches at the farmers market to buying online!!!! No manners!

[@bowlineobama]

First, teach us how to identify the plants. Otherwise, it is dangerous.

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I have identification videos on each plant in this video. You can find them on ky channel and each plant is listed in the description with both a common name and the scientific name.
