Hello and welcome to Old Ways Gardening and Prepping.🍀 Would like to welcome you each to my backyard in the main herb garden. Today we are going to be talking about a important and easy to grow medicinal herb called Toothache Plant aka Spilanthes acmella.
This is one important and potent little plant. It has many medicinal uses and today we will be making a tincture with it. Later on towards the end of my growing season for this plant will teach you another usage for it.
Let's delve in to it's amazing medicinal usages. This little plant goes by many names as: jambu, toothache plant, Electric daisy, Para cress, buzz buttons schezuan buttons to list a few names. Toothache plant is native to South America and believed to be of ancient Peruvian origin, and is part of the Asteraceae family commonly referred to as the aster family. It can grow up to 1-2 feet tall as well as wide, needs well-drained soil and full sun. It has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties making it a herb to use for disinfecting wounds, treating painful canker sores and treating ringworm infections. It's other healing benefits are for gum infections, inflammation in the mouth, sore throat, stomatitis, toothache and wound healing to list a few other ailments. Hope you will also do more research on this amazing plant and remember to be leary of any herbal information from medical websites.
Hope this video encourages you to also grow your own Toothache plant and or put the seeds on your seed buying list for next year. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the comment section below I will answer them as soon as possible. Everyone take care and have a blessed day.
Blessings,
Teresa

I grew toothache plant this year and wanted to make a tincture. Googled to find information and you came up. I should have just looked on your channel since that’s what I usually do since I’ve been subscribed for a while. ❤
I finally strained my toothache plant tincture yesterday and was curious of the taste of the final product. I used 100 proof vodka because that's all I had and used the plant down to the roots. What did I do? Swallowed a good sized spoonful. If you could have been here to see it, I'm telling ya you would have died laughing😂 It caught my breath for a second and the oh mercies were flying outta my mouth hahahahahahaha. The effect was quite a bit stronger than eating a flower bud which surprised me and even my lips had that vibrating feeling for several minutes longer than I expected. I'm just waiting on hubby to tell me he has a toothache again. Boy do I have something for him LOL!
What cute flowers. Mine never germinated. Thank you for the video.
Good evening Regina and happy that you enjoyed the video. Oh no and sorry to hear that your's didn't germinate. Hopefully can get more seeds this fall for next year. Your welcome and always happy to share what I have learned over my lifetime with as many people as possible. Take care and have a blessed day ahead.❤️🍀🦉

Even the flower looked like an aching tooth 🤣
They come in several different color patterns and never thought about them looking like a aching tooth. Thanks for the heads up.😉 Take care and have a blessed day ahead. ❤️🍀🦉

Hi, so glad I found your channel. I’m learning about healing herbs and growing some now. I’m looking forward to planting my medicinal cottage garden this next year and adding some great things to it. I have grown the Toothache plant this year. I’ve been looking for some information on how many buds to put in the jar and have only seen to use 100 proof vodka I finally found some at the local store. I love the honey whisky and will be on the hunt for that. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! I looked forward to learning more. Thank you, take care.
Good evening Grace before Me Farms and happy that you enjoyed the video. Thankful that you found my channel also and hope you continue to grow and enjoy yourself here. Personally found through trial and error that whiskey just works better for toothaches. Love to grow the toothache plants for their beauty and medicinal benefits. Your welcome and more than happy to help teach as many people as possible. Take care and have a blessed day ahead.❤️🍀🦉

Teresa- could you point me to a good brand of seeds for this plant and also tell us the amount of flower heads that should be in a jar? Like 1/2 or 1/3 of the jar and the remainder alcohol?
God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
Your welcome dear Pauletta and happy that you enjoyed the video. Thank you so very much and may God bless you also.❤️ Take care and have a blessed day ahead.❤️🍀🦉

Thank you so much for this video! I just started some from seeds a few weeks ago.
Good afternoon James and if I haven't said it yet welcome to my channel. Happy that you enjoyed the video. Personally here I start my seeds in the spring due to growing so fast. Wish you great luck on good healthy strong plants.Take care and have a blessed evening.❤️🍀🦉

Glad to see that you got some more tincture solvent, my friend. ( Now I gotta get some honey whiskey...) I have been saving the flower heads (and seeds... ) but I put the flower heads in vodka. Oh well... better that than none at all. 😏 Great idea for a wound wash... with some zip in it. Hugs to you ~
Good afternoon Red and happy that you enjoyed the video. Have to admit that I have been holding on to that honey whiskey for over 8 months since Tami sent me the seeds for the toothache plant.🤣 It will work in vodka as well just will have more if a kick to it. Since my growing season is longer will give you a heads up. Later on as the frosts come closer will be harvesting the smaller stems and leaves to make a infused oil to add to salves for pain relief. It works wonders added in to wound salves. Good to see you comment have missed them.❤️ Hugs and love sent to you as always. Take care and have a blessed day.❤️🍀🦉

@@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping Too funny... had you a stash all along. Good to know about using vodka. Mine have almost all gone to seed, but the leaves are ok yet. Thanks! 💕
Now if I could hide back every bottle that was needed would have it made.😉
New sub from me today. Thanks for the info. Idk if i missed it or you didn't say, but how long is it good for? Does it expire ?how is it stored? And in what dose should be used? Ty❤
I've never heard of this plant!
Good afternoon Kris and happy that you enjoyed the video. There are so many amazing herbal plants in this world that many don't know about. At the moment I grow over a 100, and then there are the ones that I wild harvest as well. This plant is definitely one that many should grow. Take care and have a blessed evening.❤️🍀🦉
Blessings,
Teresa
@@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping enjoying your videos! I'm like you..but I mostly forage for the plants.
Hello I Just planted toothache plant from seeds and was wondering how long it takes for it to grow and be ready to harvest? Like 3 months? Or less?
I made a toothache plant tincture and after I strained it I added clove buds and stevia and let it macerate again. Turned out great and tastes decent too. Well tastes decent until it kicks in and numbs your mouth. lol
Can you use vodka instead? And would it work to collect all the flowers and then when you have enough, make it, or would it be a problem if some of them are dry and some not? Thanks
Hi! Just found your channel. Thanks for the info! I have a couple questions:
1) dosage recommendations ?
2) Do you use the leaves?
Good evening Tina and welcome to my channel. Happy that you enjoyed the video. Dosage amount is the tip of a cotton swab for toothache. No double dipping. Yes I do use some leaves but focus more on the flower buds. Take care and have a blessed day ahead. ❤️🍀🦉

Teresa
Does this also grow in Maine
Good afternoon and welcome to my channel. Yes it should be able to grow in Maine. You will have to start the seeds inside before planting them out in full sun. It is a annual so just remember to save some seeds yearly. Take care and have a blessed day. ❤️🍀🦉
Blessings,
Teresa 🦉
Why not use leaves too?
If you dry out then use in tincture is it still potent?
Good evening c bravo and welcome to my channel. They are still usable when dry, but always remember that they are stronger when fresh and full of the medicinal benefits. Take care and have a blessed day ahead.❤️🍀🦉
Blessings,
Teresa
Do you ever sell seeds?
Good afternoon Gerhard and yes once in a while I do sell them. However more often I give them away to my subscribers when I am able to do giveaways. Take care and have a blessed evening.❤️🍀🦉

Teresa

Shalom Sweet'one from Hill'Top Hollar ~
Good afternoon darling and so happy to see your comment. Hope you have been doing well. Yes you can add some of the leaves as well. Definitely not as strong as the flowers but do have the same medicinal benefits. As their growing season comes to a end plan on doing a video on making a infused oil with the leaves. The infused oil will be wonderful to add to wound salves for pain relief. Have found out a long time ago that the honey whiskey works better in toothaches from personal experience. Blessings and love as always from my home to your's dear Sister. Take care and have a blessed day ahead.❤️🍀🦉

Have you ever used this plant on your skin? I am reading it works like botox. Skin rebounds after 24 hours. PLEASE TRY IT and let me know if this is true. I have started some of these plants for my lotions for a sunburn cream/balm. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 love this video
