please make another video like this ❤❤❤ this was sooo informative. i’ve rewatched this 3x now

[@KariasTiara]

Hello! Beginner here! thank you for this video.... there's so much to learn and not having no one in my personal life interested in this makes it hard to learn. Thank you

[@LightofApollo]

Would love to marry herbalism with the musical healing course I'm undertaking, man I wish the world would speed up and turn to holistic and traditional medicine already...

[@morriganfae0]

Wow that sounds like an amazing idea! I’ve seen videos where people plug 🔌 something into plants or vegetables and they make a certain sound. I’m sure you could incorporate it! They are definitely connected 💕

[@LightofApollo]

@@morriganfae0 Great idea! I hadn't made that connection. Hmmm...

[@Jcaribear]

Agree completely!!! 💜

[@saya1121]

So amazing to start herbalism and know that there are so many different kinds to specialise in and so many different options to choose from

[@basheerahmuhaimin6321]

This was amazing thank you so much for sharing, I am herbalist, I use them for every part of me.

[@harmonyln7]

Interesting what you said about witch hazel being an astringent or toner. I've normally seen it used on sores and cuts etc, presumably as a disinfectant.

[@happening_quietly]

Coming from an esthetician, I love it for all those reasons! It’s great for balancing ph, cleansing, and drying excess oil. I like it combined with rose water

[@RTSBeautyCo]

Thank you for the wonderful information. I've saved this to re watch for future reference

[@Wellandgood]

You are so welcome!

[@myrnaj4502]

Thank you for this. 📝👍🏾

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

Thanks for being here.

[@mellowmystic286]

I appreciate all I have learned. Thanks for this.

[@charlahampton]

Love this, teach me more!

[@kristinefarrish150]

So love your videos!! Are there any book suggestions for a newbie? I would love to learn more about herbalism. Also you are rocking those baby bangs!😊

[@tylerearly9184]

It all really depends on the type of herbalism you want to get into. The book that developed my love for herbs is “The Complete Medicinal Herbal” by Penelope Ody. Very vibrant pictures and if your younger could be a better appeal. If you’re looking for straight information I’d recommend “The Modern Herbal Dispensary” by Thomas Easley it’s packed with information. Those could be a really good start.

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

Ahh thanks Kristine!! As for book recommendations, YES. There are so, so many great books. To find what you're looking for, first consider what you want from it. E.g.: How to grow your own herbs, make "medicine," understand Traditional Chinese Medicine or Ayurveda or Unani-Tibb, Kampo, etc. ... do you want the history of herbalism, or modern storytelling (like Braiding Sweetgrass), or Materia Medica, which is a sort of encyclopedic guide to herbs and their uses. I recommend Mountain Rose Herbs' Books section, which categorizes reads this way. It's a great place to start and from there, the journey is endless. Enjoy!

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

@@tylerearly9184 Love Thomas Easley! He was one of my favorite teachers.

[@harmonyln7]

"Successful Herbal Remedies" by Nalda Gosling, or "An Encyclopedia of Essential Oils" if you want to get into oils and aromatherapy etc.

[@cheriyost2780]

Great information!

[@monicacampos7059]

This wonderfully presented, thank you

[@Wellandgood]

[@bakhtswati]

Nice 👍 information thanks

[@lovehealthmarket]

beautiful video beloved❤

[@Intelmender]

Not knocking any of your info, you seem well versed but how did you learn about herbalism? Was it through travel, family, school, something else?

[@natashacawthon114]

awesome

[@KaroAdC]

What online course for herbalism school do you recommend ? I would love to dive deep in herbalism and I love your practical plant based approach

[@hessaahmed1130]

Hi. I recommend center of excellence master herbalism course I'm doing my naturopathy as well as other course with them they are just out of this world the enough information and indulge you get from their courses is amazing you can feel you get the best headstart with them. I am also studying with another school based in my country an herbalism course it's good but I would still rate the center of excellence herbalism course the best. Take as much information from different books, materials, courses, experiences etc... this is a career I am so passionate about and just happy to hear of another person wanting to learn

[@KariasTiara]

Can you please make a video of where to buy real herbs for people who cannot grow them? I looked online and their so many companies selling fake herbs

[@cyansalvatore6011]

Hi, check your local tea shops for dried herbs. I find that they have wide selection for mixing your own tea mixes and stuff like that.

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

I have a video for that here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYjahpyjbc2skKc

[@HealthyTalks-101]

[@mellowmystic286]

Is parsley considered a bitter?

[@RachelleRobinettSupernatural]

No, but it's great for many things!

[@theresaopara2823]

Do you have text books on this study rather than prints materials?

[@Joe.hawthorn.1312]

Wish you talked about opression too..

[@magdycomics]

❤️❤️❤️‍🔥💕❣️💞

[@yorocco1]

Just tell me where to buy them and how to get tea. Hot water over tea; done.
