Getting Started in Herbalism {Growing your Apothecary - Part l}

Bet her mom is so proud of her.

what about gmo corn?

Can you recommend any books specific to south/central Florida? I’m a newby and want to start growing my own medicinal plants

Do you know of a great registered herbalist program that’s online or how to find one in my area and make sure it’s a great/accredited program?

Oshala Farms is an awesome shop in Oregon

What I don’t understand is how does all that stay good ? It doesn’t spoil? How does one use all that in one year ?😮 please explain because this is why I don’t make to much

Thank you!🍄🐝🌻🧚

Who's here after listening to the Insta Empire audio Book??

If I have a tincture that I forgot to strain and has been sitting in the plant material for about 5 months 🤦‍♀️ can I still use it?

❤❤ I’m intrigued by everything I watched of yours in the last hour. New subscriber!! 😊 Thank you so much for sharing. And I LOVE the relationship of you two. What wonderful bonding and making memories!

I'm just getting into a little of this
I live in VA too

Amazing thank you for sharing ❤️

I have been blown away by what is in my own tiny little yard. In town. Not in country. Amazing.

Need free training. Cause I’m poor. Lol. Also retired with Biology MA + 109 hours. Teacher pension in WV is a joke. Don’t need another degree. Just the knowledge please

Is that water or alcohol n that corn silk??

It can be expensive getting started. Bottles equipment solvents etc etc. I don’t have bees or chicken n very limited space. Doing best I can.

I love herbal enemas for optimal results.

I am certainly scared to forage.

Wow thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Looking forward to the journey.

I found you two today by accident and I’ve watched 6 videos in a row! Thanks so much. Very glad to learn from another mom daughter learning plant medicine team. Loving the clear explanations, conversation with cool women. “We’re not afraid to get our hands dirty and learn something old” either. Thanks so much for all the shares🫶🏾

Herbal medicine has a very ancient history in parts of Europe and is considered very feminine and is connected to other skills like cooking, cleaning , gathering , healing that could be the reason that certain parts of Europe like Germany and Norway used mostly females healers in the times before the rise of Christianity. Woman also has connections to other skills like sowing and weaving, making thread, cloth , to a point of its surviving in the mythologies, Norms weaving the fates of men, cleaning wounds, treating it and then sowing the wound closed. One of the old jokes is that the hearts of woman are made on a whirling wheel.

Speaking of teas, I find using a few mint leaves when I can to be so much more effective and taste better than predried mint tea.

I am very interested in this. Thank you for what you do

Can you mix a tincture with an oil, do you know?

Plastic gloves? So much for NATURAL remedies.

Oh, and, do you sell beeswax???

Recently found you ladies, and I want to thank you so much for doing what you do. I'm a retired RN and cert. herbalist from N.C. who has made a few tinctures, infusions, and teas. You make me want to do more. Isn't it wonderful to provide something that helps promote your body's own healing ability?! Thank you, again!

This is so far my go to channel in my path to learn herbalism, so much wonderful information and recourses, Thank you both for sharing such a valuable content, perfect timing to go back to our real medicine without complications or bad side effects, Blessing to your family.

Must be wonderful to live in an area of the country that you have so much available to forage. I live in the desert southwest.....ain't much around here but cactus! LOL I try and grow some basic herbs and have to buy those I cannot get to grow due to the heat here. They are not cheap....love your channel.

Just aquired a baby Goldenseal from Portland Nursery. Super stoked. I'm keeping it indoors for a year or two until it's grown enough for me to propagate. They grow so slow apparently and like to be under a canopy so I imagine it will be happy to be inside.

is there a part 2?

Can you share the name of your local store because I am not far from you all?

I just got my acceptance letter to American College of Health Sciences to get my Associate of Applied Science in Integrative Health Sciences majoring in Herbal Medicine :) I'm so excited to start in the fall :D

I’m currently creating my very own Tomb and would love to learn about it herblism and add what I have learned down into it.

So what would you recommend for a starting Wizard who is getting into Herbalism for the first time.

I would never again drink tea from a tea bag from the store. The little bags themselves that hold the tea, as well as the tea "leaves" itself have additives. Most of them have been sitting on a shelf for minimum many months, of not years.
I have just started taking a deep dive into herbalism, homesteading and can't soak up the information fast enough. These are the things that we should be taught. God has blessed us with a garden of all that we need.
And I agree with you on getting books. Too much is now available online, where it can be altered or modified. There is a reason this information is not taught to us. Many blessings to you, and thank you for this content.

I had to laugh at the beginning messes….. that’s so me !!!

Do dried herbs have an expiration date ?

Life is messy! ♥ Just getting started with growing and using my herbs as an apothecary so excited to watch this series.

This is such a great "Getting Started" video...

Are you fermenting in oil?

What do you do with all your tinctures and herbs ..Is it for personal use? BTW I love love love you two...❤

Do y'all sell the tinctures y'all make?

A French press does a great job pressing out tinctures from herbs and isn’t too expensive.

Do the farms around you grow organic corn? That’s great.
