I had never had a problem with car sickness until after I had colitis in my forties. When I began taking ginger powder supplements twice a day that went away and I've never had a problem with it again. Ginger is wonderful!
Thank you for mentioning this! You're right, and I'm so glad your car sickness went away. I love ginger!
All these things "bitters" do . . . and it's no wonder when you read old cookbooks and homemaking books, they often talk about "taking your bitters." Thanks for this information. 🧡
Yes! Absolutely. And most of us don't know about bitters or have forgotten how important they are! Thanks for the comment!

Hi, can you tell me where is a good place to get herbs since I don’t grow them? Also, can I use any oranges for the orange peels? Should they be dried or fresh?
I like to check small herb farmers first--- then next up are larger family owned farms like Foster Farms Botanicals and Oshala. Next up are the large bulk suppliers like Starwest Botanicals and Mountain Rose. ***PLEASE, if using orange peels, do be sure they're organic.
Thank you for the wonderful information.
I was wondering if you happen to know the benefits and / or uses of Christmas or Thanksgiving cactus? I am struggling trying to find good information about the plant. If I can use it for more than just to help purity the air, that would be fantastic.
No, I think they're just a beautiful ornamental. At least I've never seen it listed as a medicinal.
I was looking on how to make tinctures but I’m concerned about the alcohol. Wouldn’t that be harmful to the liver?
Not as harmful as over-the-counter meds are! To be honest, you're only taking about a half a teaspoon or less for a typical adult dose. So you can see the negatives are negligible and the benefits far outweigh this one negative. Some people can't or don't like to take alcohol, and this is understandable. In that case glycerin and vinegar solvents can work too--you just may need to take more. :-)
I’m Chinese and I had a lot of bitter herbs since I was young. I can eat bitter herbs raw. Bitter herbs are thought “good for you. “
They really are! I can tell a difference when I do and don't take them.
This sounds so wonderful to use. Will other citrus have the same benefits as orange peel?
The peels will! They are all bitters. So lemon peel, tangerine peel, etc. It's the pith that's the powerhouse, and then you get the lingering flavors of the volatile oils (essential oils) that come from the outer part of the peel.
Thank you Heidi. Lemon and grapefruit are the only citrus that I like. 😊
Thank you so much Heidi!
I want to make this for my husband who suffers from GERD.
Do you have a link perhaps for the ingredients or do you have a brand you recommend? Thank you!

Good morning from Ontario Canada
Do you have any herbal remedies for ulcers
Love your videos ❤❤
Thank you so very much! The remedy would depend on where it is and what's causing it, but without knowing more, I can suggest looking into a combination of calendula, marshmallow leaf or root, yarrow, and Oregon grape root very strong tea. Take twice a day--a half cup or so. Calendula is a vulnerary and heals tissue; marshmallow is extremely soothing, yarrow is toning/tightening and overall healing to tissue; and Oregon grape root contains a very high amount of berberine, which has been shown to be helpful with ulcers. I hope it feels better soon! **Remember I am not a doctor, and this isn't medical advice...just info about the herbs. The FDA doesn't like herbalists making out to be docs. ☺
@@HeidiVillegas I have a peptic ulcer acording to the doctors years ago i stopped filling the perscriptions years ago. so far I've been taking slippery Elm tincture seems to help a little but I still have the bloating uncomfortable feeling . Thank you for all your help 💖💖
@@HeidiVillegas thank you so much for your advice it has helped me a lot, you are amazing 💖💖
Hi Heidi! There was a video you posted not too long ago about a star anise tincture... I tried looking for it again but I can't find it. I was wondering what the name of that video was and what would be the benefit of making a tincture rather than just putting it in a tea? Thanks! ❤
Hi! I think that was someone else, but honestly, adding anise to tea is a GREAT idea and much easier on the body, too. Excellent for digestion. Anise makes a nice extract in alcohol for cooking, etc. It has mild medicinal properties....it's not super powerful for things like cold and flu as much as other herbs like oregano and thyme are, though. I really love it as a synergist in blends for teas and tinctures.
@@HeidiVillegas oh wow sorry I was so sure it was one of your videos. .. ok :) thank you
I started on my hawthorn tinture but is it not suppose to taste a bit sweet? Im thinking i need to use the glycerin method
You can add some glycerin, or even honey, if you don't like the taste.
Bitter is very important but should not be taken every day, remember to balance everything.
I take bitters daily, and have heard this recommended by many others. I do agree that you should take breaks from taking the same herbs for long periods because your body may habituate. But there are SO many bitter herbs and foods that changing things up isn't a problem.
@HeidiVillegas I also take it daily. For digestion I have to. Yes thanks, will mix it up more in future (swedish bitters with other bitters)
Do you recommend a good place to buy herbs?
