Wild Thistle : Edible and Medicinal Uses

Edible and Medicinal uses for wild thistle.

[@Rokhsona]

Funny how we never learnt this at school nor do our doctors advise this !!big pharma can’t profit off a wild weed!! Thank you for the very informative video enjoyed watching 💗🙏🏻

[@CrazyIvan865]

My thoughts exactly. They also can't profit off opioid addicts if they're treating pain and inflammation AND detoxing from thistle. It's all about the money. That's why I'm learning herbalism and apothecary

[@jerrycortez4943]

Yea Bull Thistle Has Lots Of Antioxidants And Can Cure almost On alot Of Deceases

[@pleidieswilson6627]

We learned very little of any use at school

[@Mombot101]

Exactly, you hit the nail strait on the head

[@yuiopoli9601]

I think the word you should use in the future "criminal", how criminal.

[@whitetailcqb5782]

I can't believe it....I have 2 bull thistle plants in my garden which are 6' tall. I originally wanted to save the seeds to plant a complete border of them around my father's small corn field to keep the coons and ground hogs out. So I found this video and had no clue how beneficial they are...thank you!

[@WonbyGrace2]

Plant one get a thousand. Very invasive

[@nidalshehahadeh7485]

You have brought back some old memories from the old country Palestine , milk thistle is one of the most famous Palestinian traditional food source , we used to go in the field and do what you have just done , Harvest it and eat it in the field .

[@samhotstick13.28]

Great video, gotta love a girl that carries two knifes.

[@Trblsum96]

Especially one that doesn’t look like a DUDE !! 😂

[@636rory]

Thistle was my introduction to using herbs for healing. Along with dandelion, it saved my liver. Thank you for making this video. I knew very little about using the thistle for food before.

[@mcbillygoat2413]

This girl is awesome on so many levels. She is a very grand example of what Christianity should represent. Knowledge from grace and compassion for the common man.

[@heckfricker]

+mcbillygoat ! WTF

[@cindylemaitre9488]

I was thinking the same. This young woman exemplifies my community and represents us with humility and God's grace.

[@lemmik1900]

You are a very knowledgeable lady. I had no idea of the medicinal values of thistle. Keep up the great work on putting these videos out there for us. Thank you.

[@CajunRose]

I grew up in Louisiana and thistle season was one of my favorite time of the year.I had no idea about the health benefits they have. I just knew they have one of the best tastes of any foods. Thank you for doing viedo.

[@furyano1251]

I always kicked these plant as a kid. I live in Louisiana. I never knew the plant was milk thistle.

[@guygranger7894]

This is the most informative and complete video Ive seen on any wild edibles teaching. Thank you.

[@SurvivalHT]

There are different varieties of thistle but as far as i know they are all edible. Look through my channel for the other thistle videos to see the plant in different developmental stages. Like the flowering and the seeding stages to help you better compare identify the plants.

[@jerrycortez4943]

It's Good To Learn From Bull Thistle.I Ust Learn Whatching The Videos Here.Before I Thought It Was Ust a Normal Plant Do I used To Pass The Lawnmower over all of Them.They Kept on Growing But Now I'm Going To Start Marking Each One.I Have Defrent Colors,Purple,Yellow and White Thistles.I will Save The Seeds.Thank U So Much for all The Information God Bless you and your family .

[@lothre]

Miss, You are the model that Women in this country should be emulating. Beautiful, strong, intelligent, and perhaps most important, can handle herself. Not the trash that loiter along the beaches of NJ in front of a camera crew. Great video, very informative and thorough. Thank you!

[@HaggardOutdoors]

lothre agreed

[@lindaragsdale1656]

You have the best video I have seen on Milk Thistle and I live in an area where the doctors don't study any natural medicine.

[@aliciamcnamar8203]

I sure wish you'd up date and make more videos. I appreciate all I have learned from you.

[@SurvivalHT]

most thistles that I know of are edible and beneficial but the one most commonly used for medicinal purposes is the Milk Thistle

[@yuiopoli9601]

Do you know if any thistles that are inedible?

[@El_Croc]

Thank-you for posting this video, this kind of knowledge should be preserved. Should even be taught in schools imho. Wish I'd known the folk-remedy attributes of thistle a few years ago...

[@despicabledavidshort3806]

I homeschool (unschool) my 9 yo grandson...thats him, he hijacked my acct 😏. We are learning to forage together, the medicinal and edible properties, and how to preserve. He's also learning to garden, can, dehydrate, make tincture and salves. Thanks to vids like this the world will be a better place ❤

[@Eddie-rm4xc]

Lady! You are a lifesaver! Thank you for your informative video, keep up the good work!

[@Cookontherun7391]

Very informative video. Thank you.❤️🇨🇦

[@scottsmith8546]

All thistles are edible and good. Thank you for the video.

[@steph04769]

thanks thats what i was looking to find out! From northern maine here and ours are dark green with purple flowers for an AHole of a plant they certainly can be uniquely beautiful

[@Kirjava88]

Brilliant video. Nice to see that people care enough about important skills to teach others too. Maybe it would be easier to collect the seeds if you tie a thread around the fluff just before they fall off. Then you'd just have to rub the seeds off the bundle instead of picking them all off one at a time. You can make paint brushes with the fluff if you wind thread around the seed ends of it in a small bundle and setting it into a small hollow cane. Thanks again for the videos.

[@sappir26]

Best video I've seen on this amazing weed. You did an amazing job on both explaining the benefits of this plant and on how to harvest it. 💯

[@artwearsusa]

thank you for the insight, I'm a artist and naturopathic, it nice to see the benefits on the other side, being 45 years old, I do desire to own my own herb farm, it is the way to go! In someway it not too late, move from ny, I a transplant, born in south carolina, was transplant up in ny, come back to north carolina to live, would live out there, since i'm now on pension, its a fresh start.

[@onebubbletwo]

Hi :) I'm so happy to have found this video, and plan to watch every last one you've made. Thank you for being so generous, with your time and your knowledge. You are super cool, and adorable too! You are clearly a wonderful, loving person, and I wish you were my friend :) I'm gonna find out if we have wild thistle here in SW Washington state; I sure hope so! Thanks Again! Take Care!

[@janetlynnpaschall3969]

Smart young lady!!🙏💝🙌💞🎈

[@anniemills2522]

Wow. So interesting. I learned so much. Thank you.

[@OoO-ww8is]

Down here in Louisiana we have tons of thistles. We have them mostly in the pastures/fields . I skin them once I chop them, they taste good with ranch.

[@YouButter]

Tons! And they’re much bigger and taller! Wow! I’m pumped

[@ppolitowicz]

Oh my goodness this is a fantastic wealth of information! Todah rabbah for sharing this. ♥

[@richreitz5815]

I loved your video! Thanks for sharing so much valuable information. 😊

[@williammelvin6371]

Good video. Usually better up close pictures are better for plant ID but she explains it enough to forage safely

[@soverealma]

Very powerful wild plants. Thanks for sharing your video, very informative. In my yard, I just mowed them, I hates them so much because of thorns that very strong like barb wire. I thought they're just a horrible weeds. Now I know that I can eat them. Keep posting videos about foraging. I am interested of foraging.

[@rafaelthemotivator]

THANK YOU. I JUST STARTED TAKING MT TODAY. IM STARTING WITH A SMALL DOSE TO SEE HOW I FEEL. MY LIVER IS TOXIC FROM TAKING A LOT OF ANTIBIOTICS. I KNOW THAT ILL BE GETTING DIE-OFF SYMPTOMS. ITS SAD THAT DOCTORS DON'T TELL YOU THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏

[@willybologna]

the globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) is a variety of a species of thistle cultivated as a food. you knew that didn't you. good job, well done.

[@philips20001]

Thank you Very much.... lot more info about the plants here than most places and the views nice too. :-)

[@josegimenezroca4220]

this is a very common plant in south america "cardo" almost consider plague cause it grows so much , thanks for your video this is really important information everybody needs to know

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

Very informative. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@hughmoore8765]

She has/had great parents to teach her great skills of the land. I have fallen in love with her Identity: not her directly. She is very beautiful and better than any current glam news station. I miss the earth and all She has and this young woman reminds of such.

[@Passion535]

Someday, we may need the information found on your videos! The way this world is going, it would be a good idea to know where to find natural, healthy food, and free too. I'm going to be trying wild thistles real soon! Thanks again for your help!

[@rayjengwu2723]

Hi, I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Could you also show a video on how to use the seeds for tea? Do you need to dry them first or can they be used right away after harvest. Another question is whether bull thistle has the same medicinal quality. I have some thistles on my property but not sure whether they are bull thistle or milk thistle.

[@kungfudoggie]

Can't wait til spring. I've had thistle growing in my backyard for decades.

[@augeniasestokaite4674]

Thanks for showing your actually earthing the core part!

[@andjaskurteska5217]

You Are amazing! Thank you so much

[@lckgilmo43]

Thanks for the voluble info. Thistles grow wild in cow pastures. Im gonna have to get in the habit of eating them and making tea. Maybe my mama won't be sick as much after drinking Thistle seed tea.

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

What a wonderful and informative video. Kudos to you !

[@Jason1975ism]

sweet video! informative and valuable. I could watch this young lady all day, pretty, smart, and a good speaking voice. you have a new subscriber!!

[@nancygranberg2999]

extremely interesting video and lots of knowledge. Thank you

[@Boomer715]

This thistle you are harvesting looks like the kind I have in Savannah GA, however, I have been told that what we have here is a relative of milk thistle but not the same and doesn't share the medicinal properties as milk thistle...I am told Milk thistle only grows in dry climates & it is very humid here

[@johnschultz3549]

Awesome video. Both informative and fun to watch.

[@danzak44]

Thanks for the great video. Very informative.

[@TheCaddy84]

Thank you for not spurting off about (the end is near) or fema death camps or negative garbage and sharing this information that I so enjoy reading,___People this is valuable information go ahead and check your books.THUMBS UP FOR --CUTE---ACURATE---STRAIGHT TO THE POINT-

That was really fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

[@timothyzenner7788]

I am a chef and coincidentally my favorite flower is a thistle. I didnt know its edible! I sing praise on dandelions, but I love that thistles are edible!

[@dwfootzoning]

I believe so. I know Blessed thistle and Milk thistle are definitely medicinal bc I've learned about them in my herbal class. Mst8nging nettles are edible and very medicinal. The entire plant of the above mentioned are all edible.

[@rumples2698]

@@dwfootzoning milk thistle is in Essiac tea

[@steinderbush]

Hi Lady , i am amased how much knowledge you have about plants!! I love your video,s they,re very educational and shure am gonna try thistle!! Thanks, and all the best to you and your family!!

[@cwb1951]

Thank you for explaining so well and eating it for people to see its Safe...you Are So Cute..

[@thistlefooderie]

Very helpful!

[@lmd2454]

EXCELLENT information!!!

[@noyselee]

Thank you so much sweetheart. I got plenty of these in my yard. Free and natural, that's the way it should be.

[@SurvivalCircle]

Is there a particular type of thistle we should be dealing with or are all thistles equally beneficial / edible? Thanks for all your work! These videos are great!

[@CrazyIvan865]

From what I understand all thistles are medicinal and beneficial; However the benefits and preparations change a little bit from different varieties. There are common benefits throughout all variety or cultivars. However some of the subtle properties change from one to the other.

[@LK-fz7vr]

Helpful video

[@lilil2081]

This is very useful video. Thank you for sharing this 🙏 Amituofo 🙏

[@eyeYQ2]

YOU and your info is just AMAZING ! Thank you lady ! I will help you share the knowledge : )

[@thereverendmark]

i was going to buy some thistle seeds the other day... i think i'll go ahead and get them now.

[@sfbluestar]

Is it possible to harvest thistle seed or plant at an industrial scale and make a profit? I came across a 100 acre property that is full of thistles. At that time it looked damn scary to me (too big a mowing job), but now it seems like potentially a cash crop.

[@dewaynewhite2928]

I really thank you for that good tip and I know this is old but it's still knowledgeable and good review my friend!!! Love the channel anyways!!

[@TrailWright]

Wow, 2010. Nicely done. Sorry I took so long to find this. Ha. Thanks for sharing...

[@nighthiker8872]

She not from Louisiana,she got my full attention when she pull out her hunting knife. She smart,well done. I would like to know where it grows wild.

[@SurvivalHT]

Here in south central Louisiana it grows wild everywhere in the spring

[@truthbetold7833]

Louisiana!!! They are everywhere in south La right now - just growing wild everywhere! We used to eat them as kids.

[@garyhughes5558]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@kemonoyama2084]

Great Video

[@aprilarmijo6967]

AWESOME JOB 👍 EXCELLENT 👌

[@jonslaughter3369]

Amazing. Thanks. Does the sumalaran occur in sow thistle as well?

[@jasonleeplatner]

After watching your video, I went and found a thistle. It was about half the size as your tallest one but still had cotton-like, purple flowering. I stripped it down to the stalk and bit in. I could eat it in a survival situation, but it seemed to possess an acquired taste. It also left somewhat of a numb but sweet aftertaste for a quite a long time. Do these taste better if you cook them? Thanks!

[@ridgehilljillie9429]

First time viewer, very nice, thank you. I'd like to see the video on how those knives get sharpened! Mine don't turn out like that, whew!

[@glenmoses2725]

Great Video, thank you for creating it! Are the yellow flowers edible? Any health benifits to eating the flowers?

[@davidhopson2004]

I'm very happy I submitted to your channel. Because you are very intelligent. And what does wild porch lettuce look like. Please as always God Bless love you my friend

[@merarirodriguez2127]

I loved your video! Thank u! I've been looking for one about the wild lettuce...would u happen to have one?

This has to be one of the best channels on KZbin. Thank you.

[@horizanadventures]

i agree completely very intelligent for such a young lady

[@shannawilliams3882]

awesome explanation thank you so much, best videos on you tube for edibles bless you!!!,

[@joanyoon4672]

I came accross this video to study thistle weeds for my field training as part of the Teacher Prep workshop (1 week project). My group was fascinated with the defense system of the field thistle plants, and then I came accross this video. I do have some issue with the gall bladder, and I will give it a try. I wonder if your communities can help preserve the strength and the territory of the nature from climate change by voting for democrats who do care about these issues. (I am not promoting the party, and I don't belong to that party. I just want to protect our mother earth)

[@sharonx1840]

I know nothing of thistle so your video is a eye opener.We have sow thistle here is that the same thistle can u eat it?Thankyou

[@Light_Worker]

This morning I started my day with thistle juice ater 20 min, I vomited and feel upsad stomach. Can you tell me why ?

[@maritesmenor6679]

Thank you for sharing it could help a lot

[@daviddrinen1265]

you can putt elmers glue on the stickers and let it dry and then peel it off to get them out.

[@SurvivalHT]

never tried that but i wouldn't think it would work. they're are too hard to get off with a big knife. After you've done it a few times you get real fast at it.

Good video ..but needs to be a close up of plant for identification in case someone does not know what they are looking for....And they do taste good when plant is young .

[@t.c87]

Hi! What if it's bull thistle? What kind of thistle are you harvesting? Are you talking about milk thistle?

[@terencechandler845]

Thankyou for this you are stunning as well 😘

[@4u25out]

I see this plants everywhere when i go hunting, didn't know it had medicinal properties.

[@TheDarwitch]

It looks in certain parts of the video like you have your finger inside the stem. i watched this and was like cool went ot to my field and found one. only it wasnt hollow inside as the video and your clover video show. is it the maturity of the plant? This one stood 2 foot tall. I know itsthe right plant cause its very prickly and the pod looked exactly like the one you showed.

[@dr.dionpeoples]
