- Willow Medicine:
Willow bark has been used for thousands of years as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic (fever), and analgesic (painkiller).
Therapeutically, willow bark can provide relief to those suffering from back pain, recurring headaches, muscle pains, menstrual cramps, arthritis symptoms and more.
Willow bark contains a chemical called salicin which works in similar ways as aspirin. It also contains glycosides, polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and other antioxidants, which support its anti-inflammatory and immune protective properties.
Some other uses for Willow are as a digestive tonic, blood thinner, diuretic and as an antiseptic for eyewashes, dandruff, eczema, wound care, and gargle for sore throats and gums.
Willow Magic:
Willow also has a rich history of magical uses.
It is one of the seven sacred Irish trees as well as sacred to many old world northern European cultures.
Willow is considered to be ruled by the moon and associated with dreaming, finding deeper insight, enchantments, and spellbinding.
It was believed to work on the emotional level, helpful for moving out of negative states, enhancing awareness of deeper purpose and protecting one from harmful outside influences.
Willow More:
This video shares my personal experience and insights, ID and harvesting tips, as well as practical ways to make Willow into Medicine.
Willow is a "people plant" that grows all throughout the world in many forms. It is easy to work with, and its relative abundance makes it a relatively sustainable plant to harvest from the wildlands.
Willow Safety:
Although it’s generally safe, white willow bark extract taken in high doses can cause side effects including increased bleeding, skin rashes, itching, and upset stomach. Allergic responses are also possible among individuals who are sensitive to salicin.
I hope you enjoy this video and get out to make your own personal connection with willow this year.

• Who Is Harmonic Arts B... - Jak na to + styl
I enjoy the holistic approach to the teachings here. The practical, natural and spiritual combined, the way it’s supposed to be.
Temple Tarot thanks.. that’s how I feel too.
@@Herbal_Jedi also very much how I feel! Unfortunately no captions and this video seemed like it could have been really interesting, kind of up my alley. Just wish I could have caught it all.

My great aunt had beautiful teeth. As a child I was impressed enough to ask how she took care of her (70 year old) teeth. She said willow bark toothpicks.
czcams.com/video/jB_hZiU7zpg/video.html - I’d love to know your thoughts on this
Do you have clue how she made them and use them???
I love your G'Aunt thank you for sharing that💯
Edit: We have lost so much knowledge with this generation gap!
Very true, they did that on purpose to make us dependent on the system.
My husband wanted me to tell you that the potato peeler worked great to skin the bark. Thanks for the great video!
I use willow instead of hormone rooting compound .Cut green willow wands into small pieces place in hot water leave tea to draw the longer the stronger it gets. It is good for hard to root plants place plant stems in the tea and wait for roots also good as root tonic. Great channel.
Tagged my daughter-in-laws, they are showing interest in natural medicine, so greatly appreciate this upload!
I am FNMI & I find your videos very nice, you speak in a calm & respectful way, not those text to speech devices, not bright flashy energy going for views, just someone in the woods talking about something they know
I live on a wetland and love-- and weave with-- willow. My weaving teacher said the time test for peeling-- 'stripping'-- the willow (to make white rods) is when the emerging leaves are the size of a mouse's ear. This is when the sap is running such that one needs only to skritch and pick loose the bark at the bottom of a cut rod and pull it up and off! Before or after this window works, with varying results, but it is very slick and satisfying to catch it at that time and be able to quickly strip the rods with comparatively little effort.
Thank you for this, and all your educational and inspiring videos.
Willow makes a great natural "rooting harmone" for rooting plants. My favorite tree is the #willow
@@dorin9064 I don't have the answer, but as I read your question it occurred to me that the way to do it might be to, put willow whips into water and keep it topped up and let it root. This will mean that the water itself must be full of a rooting hormone. Then use that water to start off a rooting process for other things. I think I shall try it like that.
@@dorin9064 My wife roots cuttings from many plants by putting them in potting soil an then covering it up with a 2 liter bottle cut in half and putting it in the sun. Like a terrarium. Perhaps that would work on trees as well. Takes about two weeks. I presume the soil would have to be wetter than normal since that is the environment it prefers. Let me know if you have any success.
I love how you make the process look so easy. Thank you for presenting everything on the field to help with identification and explaining uses in such an easy to understand manner. Thank you for respecting and honoring our plant relatives as well. Your teaching is so much appreciated.
You should have a white jacket on and call yourself ‘Dr. of the Land’! Seriously, your vocabulary and knowledge of herbs is astounding! Thank you for all your studying and keeping us safe with what herbs to use and let herbs to stay away from.
We like willow very much, made a sort of mistake in bring some home, actually my husband made 2 very nice chairs from some, the mistake came when I put some small cuttings in our yard, we now have a small forest of sandbar willow.
Haha, yeah. Willow propagates like no other. If you wanted to propagate other plants to add to your "new medicinal garden", you can actually take a few cuttings and put them in water, let it sit for a few days to a week. The natural rooting hormone from the plant will leach into the water, which you can then use as a rooting serum to start any other plant or herb that you want to propagate.
@@christensixkiller9836 Interesting, I need to remember that. I have some kind of Willow tree taking over my pond. Now I can't see the wildlife that often comes there. I don't know how to get rid of it all. Having just one was nice.
I Am of the Willow tribe as well. I was many years unaware of it but always felt a Willow when near one or even seeing an image. Thank you for teaching me of its medicine and power! Be WELL!
Willow tribe?
🤷🏼♀️
I love this long form content and your jacket!
As a child, I was very drawn to the willow growing along the waters edge in Big Bear Lake California. While listening to you describe it, I could actually smell the willows from back in those days.. yes very destictive smell now I understand why! I just had to start eating aspirin everyday (due to back pain) for the first time in my Life so it's great to learn about this and how to make tincture.. thank you so much for creating & sharing this information
Awesome videos you know a lot about plants and medicanal uses never stop learning we may have to go back to the old ways peace man stay safe
Thank you for this knowledge! You're doing beautiful, healing work for this world 💚

I just made a tea with the fresh bark and leaves of a local carolina willow. I can definitely feel the medical properties of this herb. Im getting a sedative feeling. I can tell that this is a powerful plant that should be respected.
Fabulous information, the medicinal qualities presented with the plant lore and harvesting techniques... thanks so much
Wow!! Since I bought a little piece of land in the country last spring I fell in love with willow. I have not yet tried it as medicime but encountered it as a powerful plant spirit that has many lessons for us humans. Hearing you talk about it in such a beautiful way really brightened my day. Thank you willow-tribe brother. May we all be blessed with sweet medicine from this ancient plant teacher. 🌓
Thank you for sharing your message of natural medicine it really makes me feel connected to my body and spirit 🌹🌸🌺🍂🦋
Will low, will power from the higher to the lower, that which binds, like Orion and its bind to the Pleiades. Thank you her ball Jed eye!
That is the reason the Germanic people say man and woman from ash and willow
It was the absolute pleasure. We need more videos like this
Another great video I love how you really see the essence of the herb you are talking about. Its so enlightening and means you share the hidden wonder of plant medicine to your viewers😊
Loving all the plant communication and experimentation you are doing. Thanks for the inspiration.
I was drawn/lead to you by the White Buffalo - (Turtle Mountain) - Keep on with your path, especially shutting and blocking out the media & outside noise. I will talk to you sooner rather than later if if you stay pure. Thank You.

Truly amazing and uplifting. Thank you. ❤️🌿✨
I wasn't expecting such a good video
Just excellent. I’m so impressed with your expansive knowledge and love the way you bring the information across. Thank you!!!
Pussy Willow is traditionally used in floral displays during the Lunar New Year in East Asia. What I didn't know is the Pussy Willow has Salicin in them. Rather than dump them out at the end of new year celebrations, I will now instead, strip the bark, dry it and keep it for emergency pain relief. Thanks for the tip, mate!
So nice to see the love you have for those magic plants. Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful life around these beauty’s!
Love the PAIN acronym! Stealing!
Mindful Maximalist it’s there to be shared.. :) I originally heard it from Jessi Elder.
@@Herbal_Jedi PAIN? Wish I could have caught that for sure! Desperately need something for pain. I watched your wild lettuce video but you didn't really show much of it so I could identify it... But still on a mission to find something I've just been diagnosed with.
100000 congratulations. Keep the Great Work coming . Thanks
You truly ARE an Herbal Jedi!

Excellent Information. Thank You.
I am glad to see this video. I am grateful to you.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video! I appreciated it! I just had a breakthrough, and I meditated and journal and I was the willow tree, and so many things came to me that you spoke about as a beautiful confirmation, for what spirit was sharing with me. The flexibility, the medicinal purposes, the strands, the versatility, the grace of the willow tree. But I learned even more listening to you and I appreciate it.🙏🏾✨🙌🏾🌱💚😌
Thank you so much for sharing this information and the good vibes ♡

Thanks a bunch Yarrow for the Informative video! I don't personally get sick, sore or injured very much or at all, so often others are my Guage at what works and what does not for what is needed. You tasting the bark, smelling Lemon barm etc helps me thanks!
Thank you
That's a new way to look at P.A.I.N.
For years and years my understanding has been that PAIN IS JUST FEAR LEAVING THE BODY.
- Semper Fi
Love medicinal plants. 😊
Thanks for the brilliant video yarrow. I have planted willow on my land as a living fence to keep the horse's in. I now use it for baskets and a root powder for rooting other plants. I have always felt it a waist to burn or compost the tops. Now I can truly use all the cut stems.
I enjoy your videos very much, thanks for the great content.
Thank you for the wisdom.
