This is a wonderfully informative video! Would you please consider making videos on each of your medicinal herbs; the storage, preparation and use of each? Thanks!
There are a lot of individual plant videos on my HomeGrown Herbalist CZcams Channel.
And, for those that really want to dig in, there's the HomeGrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine. :0)
Doc Jones
And Carolyn has a masterclass on treating colds and flus with herbs, including common preparations, on their website. Highly recommend.
Anyone who refers to herbs as "friends", I automatically like ☺️ wonderful video!
Well, how could one not be friends with those cute green rascals? :0)
Doc Jones
Agreed!
@@HomeGrownHerbalist my favorite herbal instructor! You’re kindness is Greatly Appreciated!!! :))
@@deweyory1635 Thanks Dewey. You're very kind.
Doc Jones
Catnip and fennel tea saved my premie son back in 1986. My milk dried up by the time he came home from the hospital, so he ended up on formula. After 1 month of constant colic and projectile vomiting, the doctor wanted to start him on Gaviscon. I switched him to Carnation evaporated milk and Karo syrup with added liquid vitamins, added 10 drops of catnip and fennel tea to 1 ounce of water twice a day...within a week, he was thriving and had no more colic or vomiting.
This is great information for parents that can't find baby formula now.
Wow good information thank you wo much for sharing!
I wish I'd known that with my eldest, she had horrible colic, we changed the formula milk about three times, eventually finding one that reduced the colic. I used to give her diluted chamomile tea and that seemed to help too.
Well done, so happy for you n your son ❤
It is not only a beautiful garden but also a beautiful view.
Honestly that Hops Tinktur advice has made my life so much easier. My mom has chronic pain in her wrist after a pretty nasty fracture. Not only the Tinktur reduced her need for pain medication to almost non it has also calmed down the joint inflammation to where she has just about full use of her hand now. On top of all that I use it on my back and my my migraines have gone down from at least once a week to maybe one a month. The quality of life we gained with something so simple is just amazing.
That is amazing!
If I had my life to do over with.... I would have loved to have been an herbalist. I wish I had learned more about herbs, before I let doctors mess my life up. I had two doctors that ruined my health by having surgery. The first doctor didn't take out my right ovary, my right fallopian tube, and he messed up my colon/ intestines. A few years later I went to another doctor, because I knew there was something wrong. It was getting worse over time. He did a check up and told me everything was fine. Two weeks later my right side was hurting so bad. Went to the ER and they did a cat scan. They told me I had a big tumor on my right ovary. I said, wait a minute.... I don't have a right ovary. The doctor didn't remove it. The 2nd doctor didn't catch it on the ultrasound either. I had a hysterectomy and they had to fix all my intestines from where the doctor messed me up from the last surgery I had. My life was bad enough because of all of that. Then my thyroid went crazy. Then I went to a new doctor 2 years ago and she put me on some medication that ruined my heart and lungs. For a year and a half I tried to tell the doctors that something was wrong and they wouldn't listen. I had never had problems with my heart before I took that medication. Then a year and half later( this past March ) I had a heart attack. I'm so sick of doctors messing me up. I think modern medicine is great for certain things, but not for everything. I wish I knew something I could take to stop pain without it hurting my heart, my lungs, or my stomach.
Thank you for doing this series with Doc Jones. I’m sorry to say I’ve not heard of him previously, but I’m so appreciative of his knowledge combined with such a relaxed, calming, and unassuming style. He is confident in the gift The Lord has given him.
Caroline, we knew you’d get an A+. What a joy to see herbalism taught from faith in the Creator of those herbs! Not from the other perspective.
Every time we learn something new about what a plant can do, we learn something new about how much God loves us. :0)
Doc Jones
How wonderful to have an herbalist to walk through and learn from. The two of you together are a wealth of knowledge! I would love to hear more about many of these medicinal plants.
This was a great idea for a video and exactly what I needed to see. I've been adding and becoming familiar with a few herbs at a time over the past few years, and now I know what to prioritize for this year, and how to plant/arrange them so beautifully! Thanks Carolyn and loving all the segments with Doc Jones, what a wealth of wisdom--he should write a book!
He has a couple of books. And his website is pretty great, you should check it out!
I've followed Doc Jones for some time. Not only does he have a great since of humor, but he has a wonderful spirit and an abundance of useful knowledge on herbs that really helps.
Love Doc Jones! I'm also a student in his Home Grown Herbalist school! ❤
The more that I read your posts on herbs, the more intrigued I become. You are a wealth of information, Carolyn! I really appreciate your insight... in all areas. I love how you and Josh honor the Lord and family and how you use what He's given you to encourage and be a great example to generations. I pray the Lord gives you strength and energy as you carry another little bundle into this world. 💕🙏🇨🇦
Hello Barbara 👋 how are you doing today?
These kinds of videos are absolutely priceless. These are the kind of videos that I share to myself for safe keeping and quick references 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
He's one of my favorite guests you've had. This series is super. Thanks, Josh and Carolyn
Please do lots more of these herbal videos!
Carolyn's garden is a treasure trove of learning opportunities. We could spend lots of time talking about those wonderful plants. There are a bunch of herb videos on the HomeGrown Herbalist Channel as well.
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist I am subscribed to you and have been watching a ton of your videos. Thanks so much!
This was such a great video. The gardens are beautiful. And...Doc Jones' laugh cracked me up. He just gets so tickled over things. Love it.
What an amazing herb garden. This is one of my goals. I love the wisdom that he shared about how to use many of the herbs. Thanks so much for this tour of your garden.
Not just herbs , beet juice is good for blood pressure, and milk thistle with artichoke leaf extract, dandelion root, licorice root , to help clean your liver . You have a great herb garden. Nice to know what herbs can do, thank you.
Foods (real foods, not the commercially produced crops we mostly eat) really do have some wonderful medicinal benefits. I just wrote a lesson on Chinese food therapy for the HomeGrown Herbalist School.
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist I joined your channel today , I know it will help us to a better life. We are using natural powder from the health food store.
Your liver cleans itself just fine. If you're feeling like it's not doing its job and cleaning its self properly then you should see a doctor and get tests done to make sure your not suffering from liver damage or failure. Eating some roots and leaves wont help you if your liver shuts down.
This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dretiko, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my genital herpes virus,
Your guest sounds pretty much exactly like Warren Buffet 😉 I love your medicinal garden as well as all else your family shares with us. Long time subscriber.
This is one of my most favorite videos that I have watched so far; and I've been watching for years. Your herb garden is absolutely beautiful. I also love Dr. Jones' sense of humor and wealth of knowledge. This video was awesome.
What an honor to get an A+. Thank you for sharing such a invaluable herbalist to us. Seriously considering getting his course as a Christmas present this year. Can’t wait to start. 😊
Holler when You're ready Britanie. I'd love to join you one that journey.
Doc Jones
I never knew that about hops! I'll be adding that tincture to my next dispensary order 😀 ❤
I've recently found y'alls channel, and I'm soaking every bit of it in! Holy cow! I'm almost done with this video, and I'm probably going to listen to it again with a pen and paper and take lots of notes. So awesome Carolyn, and Doc Jones, fantastic job!
So beautiful. I can’t believe how tall and lush everything is.
I'm only 2 and a half minutes in and I'm already delighted with this man's laugh ❤😂
You just answered my question about how long did it take you to grow that When you start talking about your herbs,I grap a pen! Thank you.
Its amazing how much production one can get from an herb garden even in the first season. Josh & Carolyn have done a great ob converting a lawn into a tremendous resource to care for their family and others.
Doc Jones
Congratulations on your grade! I took so many notes during this tour. Thank you both!
I remember watching that first video when you were setting it up, and I immediately added all those seeds to my wish list. I'm growing a lot of medicine thanks to you!♥️
Same, rewatched and scribbled notes as fast as I could. More appreciation for herbs I have been growing and learned more uses for and some to go on the wishlist.
Wow I have been dabbling in medicinal herbs for over 20 years and even *i *
Learned so much in this video!
This video has inspired me so much. I have bought a set of heirloom medicinal herb seeds and can't wait to get started.
Good work! You'll love having them. :0)
Doc Jones
Fantastic video! Your cottage garden in beautiful. Love Doc Jones. He’s so knowledgeable and has a great personality. Thank you for having him on your channel 😃😊.
Stepping into Carolyn's little garden is a wonderful experience. You can feel the love and joy that's being produced there. Even if it weren't making so much great medicine, having a little green oasis like that is a blessing everyone should think about getting.
Doc Jones
I have come back to take more notes to plan my cottage garden... it's seed ordering time!
This was great! I love this channel! Thanks for introducing us to The Homegrown Herbalist. Love you both!
This was lovely! I have taken lots of online classes/made and grown my own herbal meds and the two things I would want in a garden (and the reason you don't may be because of the weather there) is Hibiscus or more commonly called red sorrel- talk about having tea that just calms everyone down & safe for kids! It tastes like raspberries too & honeysuckles! I make a cough syrup that will also lower fever from the honeysuckle flower only the japanese kind though!
And besides all that, it's pretty.
Doc Jones
I need people like you in my life . In a way , now I feel like I do .
It’s all grown so quickly Caroline , it looks fabulous, you must be thrilled 😁 hope your pregnancy is going much better xx
Such beautiful garden, I love it! I’ve been growing herbs the last 2 years and actually making our own medicines. I enjoyed this video so much, and it gave me some ideas on a designated herb garden. Thank you, Many Blessings!!
Carolyn's garden has a lovely flow and she has done a great job of having her bases covered medicinally. Fantastic job and just what every family needs. :0)
Doc Jones
So good to see you back in action, Carolyn!
His laugh makes me so happy!
Wonderful video! Also very pleased with the rattlesnake venom tincture tips, very useful.
Excellent video Carolyn. I watched the original video when you started this garden. It’s such a lovely space. Thank you for sharing.
One of your best videos! So appreciate the generosity of Doc Jones' information and Carolyn's beautiful garden!
I am glad you are feeling better. I love your garden. It has inspired me many times
What a wonderful episode! You both were so full of knowledge. Congratulations on your A+ grade from an expert. Beautiful garden!
Your garden! Your scenery!! Amazing!
Wow! Brilliant. What an enchanting and knowledgeable guest. Thanks for an exceptional episode.
You have such a wonderful herbal garden, loved the garden walk.
So much valuable information in this one video! I usually use CZcams as background noise while I'm working, but I actually had to sit down and get a pencil and some paper for this one! Thanks to you both!
Great information and a lovely peek at your beautiful healing garden. Love this!
WOW! What a WONDERFUL experience for you!
Loved this quick overview of all the different plants. Thank you both
Woohoo Carolyn, A+!!! You must feel amazing x
Wow! This is one of my favorites! I hope that you invite him back and teach us more. His and your knowledge of medicinal plants and their uses is fantastic. I echo Donna's suggestion. Pleae, teach us more!
Totally inspiring, Carolyn! I've always been a bit intimidating by perennials and biennials, but I think I can do this on a small patch of front yard sunny space. I love the relaxed stroll you took, observing, identifying and discussing the medicinal benefits of each plant. Just lovely! Your hops idea for summer shade is exciting! We might just try this too.
not to mention trying it tinctured for pain! I am so going to try that for a person I know... hah! even for this old folk lol in an active life there are injuries on injuries sometimes!
So informative! Love it! I am still in the "putting together my medicinal garden" phase. As always, thank you so much for sharing!
Beautiful garden with so many benefits. Love the walk through and learning of different combinations for the applications. I need to take notes.
Glad you enjoyed it. :0)
Doc Jones
I love the information! Doc Jones is very knowledgeable! Thank you
Really enjoying seeing two of my favourite channels together, thank you. I have been really hoping you would do another herb garden update since you first posted about it and the added benefit of some of the herbal properties/uses with plant tour was really enjoyable too. Would you consider posting the recipe or how-to on making candied elacampane and the syrup?
Wow! This is so much amazing info!
I love the natural design of her garden what a beautiful stroll.
Wow two of my favorite people in one video. Doc Jones and Carolyn Yay. Love both of you and your channels
I can’t even imagine what that garden smells like! I bet it’s like Heaven ❤
I Really enjoy this video, I can just watch it over and over again, and I have about three times thus far.
I love it! The garden. His infectious laughter. The wealth of info. Thank you.
Infectious laughter is about the only thing you couldn't treat with Carolyn's wonderful little medicinal paradise.
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist How about fertilizer? People need laughter/joy to grow and spread. ❤️
I have not grown hollyhocks for years. Never knew it could be used medicinally. I have a small herbal garden for cooking but now I want to explore the herbal remedies for illness. Thanks so much Carolyn and Doc Jones.
This was wonderful, thank you!
