- In this video I share the herbal remedies we use in this house for health maintenance and when attempting to ward off any sickness. Last year we harvested elderberries and indian pipes to make homemade tinctures. We also keep fermented honey garlic and plenty of Apple Cider Vinegar on hand.

If you place the tincture under your tongue, the medicinal properties are absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the sublingual artery so it doesn't have to go through your digestive system first. This allows for faster absorption and healing! That's why you place tinctures under the tongue 😉
I hope you feel better soon!
Smart people like you are why I don't have to remember why I do what I do 😂. Thanks for sharing for others to learn
@@1870s well I learn new stuff every day too! I hadn't heard of the herb Indian Pipe before so I'll have to see if they are around my area and check them out 😁. I could definitely use that as a natural sleep aid.
Does it work the same way if it is an oil? Say Oregano Oil
@@lisaelliott6155 if it is a tincture yes. If it is an essential oil I would advise not to put any essential oil directly under your tongue as it could cause esophageal burn and damage your throat and we don't want that.
@@lisaelliott6155 My understanding is that some properties are best absorbed in oil, water, alcohol, honey, vinegar...For example, I like to make a remedy with alcohol extracted elderberries mixed with water extracted elderberry mixed with some honey.
I add ginger, cinnamon and cloves to my elderberry cough syrup, so much yummier! 😊
Great video Rachel. Thanks for sharing and feel better soon.
Thanks Rachel. Super info!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!!
I sure hope you feel better soon! Thank you for sharing your remedies with us. I take elderberry syrup, the garlic honey, ACV and a lot of herbal tea.
Things absorb faster under the tongue
GOOD ADVICE
I love making all these homemade remedies. We also have ghost pipe on our property. With our bees and growing garlic it’s amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.
I have a very dear friend that lives in Nebraska. She makes elderberry texture and swears by it. Tfs and for peaking my interest. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Hope you feel better soon!
Love these! Thanks so much. I see they’re older, but I just discovered them. 😊
I always have on hand basic stuff for conquering any infections like
-ficer cider/ master tonic (recipe from rosemary gladstar)
-echinacea tincture (susun s weed has good info on this)
-lots of dried nettles (for making nourishing infusion -look susun s weed again)
-non gmo vitamin c (i use sodium ascorbate from nutribiotics, suzanne humphries can tell u more about using it)
-mms drops (look for example amandha vollmer for more info)
-i really like swedish drops as well (can be bought ready made or tincture the ready packet of the dried herb mix, google maria treben swedish bitters)
-oregabo oil is awesome as well, my favorite brands are north american herb and spice company (cass ingram) and global healing center (ed group)
We use only herbs, homeopathic remedies and energy healing plus occasionally some other natural solutions for our health, and we are very happy with the situation 😊
❤how you gave God the Glory. Thank you for a great video.
I really need to start doing more research about these. Right about now I need all the medicine 🙁🤒🤧. Putting it on my to-do list!
Love my ghost pipe tincture!!!❤
I really like natural home remedies, there are so many things we have available to us all the time and we don't take advantage cuz we don't know what things are or how to prepare them . I for one would love to see more videos on this subject matter, if that's something you & Todd could do? Love ya both ❤️
Great video 👍
Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for sharing, that was interesting.
You are welcome
Hope you get to feeling better soon. Thank you for this info. I do use similar items. I have never heard of the Indian Plant, that was interesting. I will look that up. I need to look into your elderberry tincture as well. I do like the syrup but it would be nice to have a shelf stable remedy as well. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings...................Patti
Another awesome immune system booster is slice organic lemons, slice ginger root and layer in a mason jar with pure local honey all the way to the top. Let it ferment for 12 hours in the frig. I take a tablespoon twice a day during cold and flu season. It works like a charm and is super good for you! When layering do the lemon, then the ginger and then the honey till you have a full jar.
Oh I bet that is good!!
Great thing to do! I need to remember this ! I wanna make fire cider this year!
Try Feverfew for your headaches, it works great. I use it for arthritis and nerve pain as well.
I’ve never heard of the Indian pipe herb before, that’s really cool! I have my first batch of honey garlic started a month or so ago 😃
You will love the honey garlic
Ghost Pipe is another name, for the Indian Pipe. There are different colours for the Indian Pipes as well. Herbal Jedi has a video on them, he takes you on a forest hike and finds and shows a few different plants in the same family as the Indian Pipe. Am sure there are other videos out there he is just the one I recall off the top of my head without doing a search.
Have you considered using wild violets for headaches? I really love feverfew and ginger for headaches though too. Also for colds and flu type things I live Japanese honeysuckle, cats claw, Usnea, and ground ivy. Elecampane is another good for lungs.
Thanks for the video. Always informative. Taking medicine under your tongue is called sublingual. It's absorbed faster into your bloodstream than if you were to ingest it. Ive been wanting to try making an elderberry tincture. I wonder if you can make a coloidal silver tincture...🤔
We also ferment garlic in honey and make elderberry syrup (easier to get granddaughter to take it). I was taught by my homeopath that putting things under the tongue allows the lymph system to absorb the properties right into the bloodstream and that kept the properties of the herb more concentrated since it wasn't digested through the stomach. We also keep and take fire ciders (Rosemary Gladstar has a whole book of 100 recipes for the fire cider) and we sip ginger-lemon tea with honey daily during the flu season (which seems to get longer each year). I've seen Indian pipe growing but never knew it was so beneficial! Thanks for such great content! I hope you feel better soon!
I made honey with garlic put it in a jar of my tablet a few months ago you think it's still good cuz it go bad
A very informative video indeed. I will have to look into some of these things for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome, I bet you can find alot of natural goodness in Massachusetts!
@@1870s I think you're probably right👍
Wow, rewatching this and hearing you talk about your coworker going to ER with “some kind of virus”. 😯 Feb 2020! Foreshadowing
I have planted three elderberries in my food forest for medicinal use⚡️ Thank you for this video.
I hope they grow well for you. Tip the birds love them just as much as we do, so it's hard to harvest them before the birds get them.
You sit it under your tongue because it gets directly into your bloodstream better/quicker. The mouth is like a sponge and there's viens right under your tongue
Indian pipe, or ghost pipe (monotropa uniflora) is related to blueberry. Don’t overdo on dispensing in tincture form. It’s a POWERFUL nerve deadening plant!
Aww, I’m sorry you’re feeling so awful. Thanks for the info. I’ve never heard of Indian Pipes, I wonder if they grow in the West?
I get alot of those 'pressure headaches' ! it is horrible and you do feel like your head is going to explode or fall off....:(
We can buy Mersyndol in NZ which has a muscle relaxant in it which I find helps a heck of alot and has the added benefit of making me sleep REALLY soundly, and this is often enough to make the headache go away, but it is not uncommon for it to last two or three days. I have always suspected that it is something to do with the isobars/weather - an invisible trigger for them.
This dates back to 1832 in our family history...This is to treat upset stomach and to rehydrate you...It's a tea, made with catnip fennel, mint and chamomile...we have a tea pot that we use and each has a special cup that we only use when someone is sick, to make them feel extra pampered...Even the kids would drink it without honey or sugar...Now they give this to their kids.
Willow bark tinture for headaches
Hello oh my goodness why in the world are you doing a video when you are sick great information and I did learn something new about tinctures please go get some sleep and rest God bless stay safe and have a wonderful day
Because I had to do it anyway, another reason to be more prepared, lol
@@1870s well thank you for being a trooper while being sick most people would not even think about doing a video while sick. Praying that you get well soon take care my friend 💞💕💗😀😀😀🙏
PLEASE READ!!!! When my family of 7 is sick I make what I call kitchen sink soup. My kids swear it heals them and it shows as they're better the next day too. I add chicken, chicken broth, beets, 3-4 kinds of beans, onion, lots of fresh and dried garlic, a tablespoon of turmeric, ginger, ground fennel seed, pepper, salt, carrots, parsnips, corn, and potatoes. Or whatever else I have that I can throw in. Then, I serve it with a spoon of sour cream mixed in each bowl. It truly helps!!!!
I'm taking a screenshot of that recipe
@CarlKeeling1881 my family loves it and begs me to make it when they're not feeling well. I hope yours enjoys it too.
How long does it take for Elderberry tincture to complete?
I had to stop taking my elderberry because there was a concern that it would aggravate or increase a cytokines storm in the setting of a covid-19 infection. Normally you want the cytokines effect that elderberry promotes, that’s what helps with colds etc. An oddity and something being researched is that many of the people that died from the covid-19 infection, on autopsy, were found to have evidence of a cytokines storm. I’m not clear on the mechanism that is actually deadly, but it is. It’s an over reaction that one’s body mounts in response to the illness.
Long story, short (ok not so short). I’m now over a month post my covid diagnosis and I’m told that, even though I have pleurisy as a secondary infection, I am no longer infectious with covid. Woop woop.
I actually love the taste of elderberry syrup. I squirt it in seltzer water or water kefir as a refreshing drink, and now I think it’s safe for me to do that...I think. I couldn’t get the Doc to promise I couldn’t get covid again, but he says it’s highly unlikely. . They think you get immunity, but not absolutely sure, or sure how long it may last. I’m hoping a life time. For the mean time I’m going to have a glass of elderberry seltzer while I’m mending my pleurisy and before I’m back at work taking care of patients that have the potential of infecting me again. Cheers
Can I ask how old your garlic honey is? I have some that is now a year old lol! I’m wondering if it’s still good. My research tells me yes but bring cautious. Thanks!
Can you use 100 proof moonshine when making tentures?
I am starting to learn about homemade remedies as well. I am going on year two with no antibiotics for cold viruses and home healing through tinctures and syrups. In the past I would have to get an antibiotic to kick my cough because the cold virus would induce my asthma symptoms but I have been able to eliminate this with my homemade remedies and a little help from over the counter cold meds but no antibiotics so far which is great. Thank you for posting some of your remedies!! Can you list the name of the remedy book please when you get a chance?
Oh yeah I forgot to post the link. I'm not at the computer right now but when I get there I'll comment back when it's there. I'd say I had been close to 10 yrs without prescription meds until last fall when I came down with shingles, ugh
@@1870s Did I miss the name of the book you referenced? I'm going back thru the old videos. 😁
Great remedies how do you make the garlic honey remedie. Thank you
Fill a jar with peeled garlic cloves, cover with raw honey and let sit for 4-6 weeks covered loosely. Then seal tight and store in refrigerator, excellent for marinade and health supplement
Awesome thank you
Thank you and feels better soon. Also what was the name of the book you mentioned?
It's called The Homesteads Herbal Companion by Any Fewell
Awesome, thank you. What type of elderberry is growing in your yard? I've heard theres different colored berries.
We use raw horseradish. You can buy it in a jar or pulverize it yourself.
What is that good for?
That 1870's Homestead Upper respiratory illness. You can mix with lemon and honey or use raw. It is very strong. Holding it on your tongue or in your mouth until the flavor is dissipates has worked best for us.
Also, you can use it in Fire Cider. RoseMary Gladstar and others have recipes online that help ease viral illnesses.
That 1870's Homestead Do you keep your honey garlic in the refrigerator?
@@mykentuckyhome9442 no
No idea about cross infection. Now no one else can use these.
Tincture ? Here tincture is made using Vodka or Grappa, is it the same there?
Yes these tinctures were made by steeping the ingredients in vodka for about 6 months

Hello everyone I’m new to making homemade medicine. I live in Florida and unemployed but God is good. I was wondering if I could get someone to share some 11:45 herbs with me. I am willing to pay the postage and would love to have conversation about steps to making medical medication. If anyone are willing to help please reply back. Thanks and God continue to bless you all.
Sounds like you had radiation sickness
