- DANDELION TEA, one of the most health promoting herbs you can use. it is free, grows most places and easy to care for. It can be dried for use during the winter. Or even frozen and stored in the freezer. The tea is easy to make and tastes good. All parts of the plant can be used, roots, leaves and flowers. In addition to making a tea, the roots can be dried and ground and used like coffee. The leaves can be eaten as a fresh greens.
Dandelion should be part of all preppers stores for worst case situations..
Oh man...miss this guy RIP Glad the videos are still up. I hope his wife is doing well.
The home gardening space is not the same without him. I learned so much from him.
So Happy I've found these videos I'm only 40 with various kinds of illnesses but since watching and praying in Jesus Mighty Name I've learned alot feeling better already.
Yeah I Know Exactly What You Mean, I'm dealing Neurological Antaxia Issues, looking for a distraction from my problems & I ended up here. I've am Praying & listened to 4 of his videos & feel a lil better.
I'll be Praying for you as well. GOD's Mercy Grace to you
Why is God not helping you ?
@@sarahann530I wondered the same.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge
Ataxia is one of many terrible problems Ive found myself dealing with. They became pretty bad after 40 for me@@missionscrpprwill1946
You remind me soooo much of my grandfather... He used to go out and get herbs and greens from the wild and from his backyard garden, just like you ❤️... And guess what? He lived to 100 years old!!

My grandparents lived to be 100 but their kids aren't living to be as old as them 67 75 but they stopped eating good when they left the house no homemade meals veggies etc all you can is show your kids how to eat then it's up to them
You reminde me of my god father
I’m Jeannie Jones selfie girl on CZcams and I’m not as old as he is but I do the same thing. I like eating peppermint leaves out of my garden wheatgrass just cut the tops off and chew on it and I spit it out as I walk around the yard and I also grow my own aloeand Italian herbs. I added dandelion root to the supplements. I take 2 to 3 times a week. That is why I was watching his very good video.
My Sicilian immigrant grandma lived to 99. One of the main foods she fed her 6 children on was dandelion which she could gather in fields near her home. My mom was the youngest of the six. She is 93 and still saves the dandelion water to make coffee. I was raised on eating dandelion, boiled and fried with garlic and olive oil on a piece of open face toasted semolina bread. A little salt and that is my favorite vegetable! No one else I know eats it because they think it’s bitter. Too bad they weren’t introduced to it at 3 years old like me. I crave it and love it and enjoy it so much! Thank you Sir for being another person who understands the health values of this extraordinary “weed” dandelion!
Thank you.
Love your story!
@@OldAlabamaGardener Yes sir, few know the power of bitter herbs, fruits and vegetables. The bitter taste stimulants the liver pancreas and gallbladder to work better. Greatly increasing appetite, taste for healthy foods digestion and liver health. Constant eating of sweet foods messes all that up.
And how is your health?
That’s the most wonderful thing. We can “uncause” a condition. Never give up!
Thank you. Isn't that an interesting thought! Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
OAG we miss you so much. I hope you are continuing your teachings in heaven!
Great information. I love the saying genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger. Eating healthy and being out in nature getting sun and exercise does a lot! ❤️
Yes. I had not heard that saying, but I believe it is true.
OAG
Great saying !!!!!
absolutely!!!!!!!
Oh, gosh. First time I've watched an OAG video since he passed. A bit overcome as I met him twice and made videos. Charles, you are missed!
I was just wondering if OAG was still with us...
I'm very glad he had the foresight to record his wisdom to share with us! RIP sir.
I sure do miss you, OAG😢. May you forever rest with the Angels.
This is the most precious video ever!! and he’s 81? I hope I look that great in my 80’s!
Hello and welcome to my videos. You can look even better when you are in your 80's. *_The time to start making that happen is now._* If I can help you let me know. Thanks for watching my videos.
For 81 years old he has absolutely gorgeous clean skin! , not only that you can tell what a person health is like just by looking at their nails, his nails have half-moons which shows just how healthy he is
He's deceased
@@lindacouncil1353 Oh my God !!! Just today i saw his video, this video, and i wondered howe he is!! Now , you say, he passed away !!!! RIP sir. He should be 84 when he deceased !!!
Yeah ...you can check out his memorial on line...seemed like a real good man
@@lindacouncil1353 How do you know that?
His memorial is on you tube...his family talked about what happened to him also...I used to watch his vlogs all the time...he passed approximately a year and a half ago Go look up. OAG Gardener Memorial

I love it & am so glad you're on YT!! Old ways are the best ways! John 3:16
Organic dandelions are very expensive at my local Whole foods grocery store. You are absolutely right, it is really good for our health. It lowers cholesterol, controls diabetes among many other benefits. Hope people will see this video and use your advice. Thanks for another great video.
You are welcome. Dandelions grow wild around here. I need to dehydrate some for winter.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener I was about to ask about dehydrating dandelions. Thanks for sharing Sir.
@@sweetdweams Dehydrating them is pretty easy, wash them and place them in a dehydrator until they will crumble. Herbs should be dehydrated at about 90 degree F, you don't want to dehydrate herbs at high temperatures, it reduces some of the herb's effectiveness. Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't already, please subscribe.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener thank you Sir.
@@OldAlabamaGardener I would love to see a video of you demonstrating your technique please!!! I’ve never dehydrated any but would like to know how to do it right.
I love you no-nonsense no BS straight to the point and here's what I got to offer way straight to the point.❤
I was just reading an article on dandelion tea and all the benefits. This is the perfect video for me today! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this in formation
I have thousands of dandelions on my place Gonna be drinking Dandelion tea all summer
Thanks !
My GYN doctor told me to drink Dandelion tea. Thank you😊❤
Dandelion helps my eyes tremendously. My Story: In June of 2022, I started to see Rainbow Halos at night. At first, I thought it was cool that I can see "Rainbows" at night. Come to find out, my eyes/body was in trouble because they started to get really blurry and I thought I was going blind. After researching, I started to drink Dandelion Root Tea. After 3+ days, my eyes started to clear up and about 3 months later, the "Halos" was gone and I was able to see clearer. Although I am not sure why yet it made my eyes clearer and now NO MORE Halos. When I did some research on it... It said... "it is chock full of Vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as minerals, such as iron, potassium, and zinc." Later on, I discovered that it's A and E and Iron that helps my eyes to get better and clearer. Thank you for the video, because I will start to hunt for the roots now since we are in winter.
*NOTE:* If you have too much Potassium in your diet, it will make your eyes blur. Dandelion helps you pee (diuretic), which removes Potassium + Toxin from your kidneys/liver.
So nice to hear someone just say the truth about weight. My co worker corrected me once when I was using fluffy for her to be nice. She said, Ms. ___, I'm fat, and it's because I eat too much and move too little.
An honest response. She later began to walk and eat better and lost down to a more healthy size. You have to look a problem in the face before you can address it. My respect. Miss this cool guy. Rest on peace.
My aunt is also Italian and she just made her hundredth birthday on July 18 in South Florida. She is of Sicilian and northern Italy descent. We are from the Bordon and Bondi family and they all live into their 90s also supplements. I think big Pharma hates supplements, but they definitely make a difference in your lifefresh gardens make a great difference in your life
I sure miss OAG, still love watching g his videos, so helpful, and he could grow something in mid air I believe
Oh. I’m so sorry you’re no longer with us! I’m glad I found this wonderful video. I’m going in the garden right now to look for dandelions to make some tea. ❤
I also eat the leaves.Viewing from Western Canada! CHEERS from Here!!!
Thank you sir for your devotion to helping us. I sure miss you. May God rest your soul, I’ll see you on the other side. 🤗🙏🙋♀️. PS thank you family for allowing his videos to remain up for our improved education about foods that are healing. God bless you all too.🙋♀️
I've been eating Dandelion leaves in my salad for years, but not drinking as tea. I'll try it now! 🤗
That's an excellent way to use it in your salads or slightly wikted with sea salt and butter !
How old are you any health issues.
I am a Fruitarian, since 2008, but I have gone thriugh times of eating greens and other foods, thriving the years.
I'm back to raw organic Fruit only, no green anything and no cooked foods.
My heath is good and I haven't been to a doctor or taken any kind of meds at all, since 1995.
I forgot to add, I do eat fresh picked Dandelion flowers, when available.
Thanks for your wink 😉! I grew some dandelions last year in my raised bed. You can also eat the flowers. Have a great day! 💜🌱
This wink is for you!!! ;-) And thanks for the tip on the flowers. Thank you for watching my videos. Please subscribe.

For an eighty one year old man, you look thin, lean, healthy, and sprightly, and full of energy. Herbs do indeed help in maintaining and preserving good health. This is your first video that I watched; I will watch a few more. Thank you for uploading this video.

I drink dandelion tea and green tea every morning with no sweeter, I have learned to love it.
Thanks young feller im 82 and im getting more into herbals and dumping a lot of harmfull tablets with bad side affects ,this is just what i wanted iv been looking on utube etc for dandelion tea and looking out side iv got dandelions so here goes ,thank you again take care .
I love this video. Thank you! You could add 1tbs of apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice. And still add the honey, but just a touch. Cuts the bitterness better, and delicious! Makes it kind of taste like a Coke.
You are welcome. And thank you for the tips. Thank you for watching my videos. Please subscribe.
OAG
I believe I read somewhere blocking sunlight to the dandelion a day or so before you pick the leaves cuts the bitterness
@@Zellonous wow, thanks for the tips 👑
I enjoy apple cider vinegar anyway so y’all are gonna have me out in the rain gathering dandelions so I can sample now. Believe it or not we still have adolescent ones that made it through our baby blizzard/ice storm week before last. How? I don’t know 🤷♀️
What a thorough video! You're awesome sir. Stay happy, healthy and self sufficient ❤

I thought the same thing!
What a sweet kind heart! Thank you.
I like to make blender drink with fresh dandelion leaves and coconut water. Somehow the bitter leaves and the sweet coconut water, both very healthy for you, makes this very enjoyable for me. Depending on the how good your blender is, you can drink as is or strain and drink.
Wise young man..thanks for the info very thoroughly presented..
I appreciate that!
OAG
What a blessing you are my friend!
Blessings my friend you are truly appreciated always. Thank you so much.
I just found this video , so sad he’s gone but this video should go viral!!!
Like this video, dandelion tea and this precious soul too.
So missing you !!! No one else even comes close..You Were the Best !!
Thanks for your healthful benefits wisdom and the demonstration on how to make this tea. I just made me a batch tonight an put it in mason jars for the next few days, So I have about 3 days made and in the refrigerator. Thanks again for your insight to this lightly bitter tea. I thought it was just a weed. I love the wisdom of the folks of yesteryear.
Theses beautiful flowers grow in my backyard ! Great medicine thanks 😊
Luv the tea ideal, my kids think I'm crazy when I gather up the weeds(dandelion leaves) & add them to my salad😄
Thanks bunches! ..I have a LOT of those weeds in my yard and unused pastures..I shouldn't say unused - deer bear stray cats groundhogs and every other critter..I have been drinking mullein tea and taking the drops to help with my asthma..would like to try making other things with dandelions..I'm not a medicine person but instead lean more towards homemade remedies..at present I'm battling my weight..I packed it on since shoulder surgery a year ago because I couldn't hardly do anything with one arm..now to take control 😊..as always prayers and blessings
I love all his videos. Such wisdom he has and shared with us.
Thank you, I have been letting the dandelions grow in my garden this year for this very purpose.
Good for you. Have you made this tea yet?
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener can you use the flower of the dandelion for the tea as well? 15min to steep means it wont be piping hot, what is the best way to heat it back up to keep the nutrients In tact? Is this possible?
@@Xsupra35 You can use all parts of the dandelion plant.

I love to watch your videos not only do I learn a lot you remind me of my dad. He was a very wise man too and when you winked at the end of the video I burst into tears as my dad would often give me a wink. God bless you sir. G'day from Australia 🦘🐾🐨
Wow, thank you
This method is simple and doesn’t waste anything. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
You have the sweetest smile! 😃 Thanks for sharing your wisdom! God bless you!
You are so welcome
before my birthday 4 July here I am found this Human maguinificante person just take care and love himself. Love you
"Genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger" What a fabulous saying! I wish all doctor would say that to their patients.
I often say: *_to have better health, you have to stop doing things that hurt your body, and start doing things that help your body_*
OAG
I like to say "environment loads the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger." That's just my opinion.
If I don't brush my teeth and they rot, there is no amount of brushing that can bring the teeth back. Some diseases can not be reversed but I agree with you in theory. My doctor said exercise, lose weight, eat whole food, avoid drugs, read labels. By reading labels I mean be informed what is healthy and good for me. I have to protect myself. We are all unique and different. I have to be my own doctor first. Very dangerous. I practice medicine without a license and I only have one patient, me. Thanks for your good deeds.
Love, eating dandelion roots, along with my turmeric and oregano.
Thank you 🙏 pops -May God bless your health 🙏🕊😇… 🇺🇸🇵🇷
Thank you so much for sharing this great information and remind us about the so needed healing natural herbs that God created for us. I do organic dandelion, 1/2 a lemon and 1 tablespoon of organic cold press olive oil.before my bed time. I don’t add any honey. I will try the tea that you subjected. God bless you🙏🏼❤️. Rosa from Cuban’s roots
Followed the OAG’s instructions. Made the tea. The tea tastes good. Thank you!
I don't think I'll be drinking any weed tea but I like that old man he's got character style so I'll give him a thumbs up
Feels like I’m listening to my grandpa talk to me. I love this video!!!
Absolutely love OAG! I can appreciate from garden to table.❤😁
THANKYOU FOR YOUR WISDOM, I HAVE BEEN EATING DANDILION ROOT AS A VEGETABLE.
Sounds good. Now that dandelions are coming up, I will harvest some roots.

Breath of fresh air. Stumbles upon this looking for a liver detox. Excellent video. Such a dear, dear, man. Thank you
My grandmother use go to out and pick them and cook like greens, I was too young to remember all the details. I just read where cup of dandelion greens has over 100 percent of the daily value of vitamin A, and 500% Vit K and much more. Thanks for sharing and reminder of this miracle plant.
Thanks for sharing!

God Bless you , and thank you so much for charity sharing..
Wow I mist channel could not find it so glad to find it again
Finally ! I actually made the dandelion tea my Mom and Dad told me would be good for me. After testing it first. It's not so bitter and was easy to drink in about 5 gulps. Put the rest of the leaves I picked in baggie in the fridge. Thanks for the simple video. Wink.
I will be dehydrating dandelion leaves now that they are in season door future use. Just made dandelion jam. It was wonderful. Thx for the tips on testing and making tea.
This was very informative, and the allergy test is a great suggestion! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. We NEED our Elders to teach us
I'm the annoying neighbor who love dandelions & spread them in my yard❣ I've only drunk store bought dandelion tea, but I have eaten the flowers & leaves. I won't be buying anymore in the store! Thank You Sir!

😅😅I like how you measured 2 teaspoons and just pure the remaining leaves in. 😂 I too love to over dose or put a little extra.
God Bless you and your backyard young man. I’m soon to be 49 and I’ve NEVER been to a Dr. don’t take even an aspirin. I’m about to include I. In my herb garden. Great Video and May God bless you keep strong and healthy.
John 3:16-(NIV) 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
I'm looking forward to drinking some dandelion tea! Thank you!
Sounds great!
Thank you..yup l love it in salads too. Also like chickweed great as lettuce, in tacos too! God Bless you😊❤🙏🏼✝️
