My gut health has improved and changed for the better every since I started making milk and water kefir. Always grateful. Thank you.
Hii!! Do you happen to know where I can buy legit milk keifer ? I don’t want to make myself lol 😵💫😆🤣 thanks !!!!!!
I don't know why I missed the notification for this, but I'm catching it now. I'm glad you are doing this, because my tummy has been horrible lately. It seems like my body is inflamed all over.
You didn't miss a live (well, not today anyhow ☺️) I've just been downloading my Friday live Q&As and uploading them as normal videos as lives don't get seen by many after posting 💚
❤
I'm so confused right now. How did I not get notified AGAIN!! IM HERE!! LATE but better late than never.... also miss your tea times ♡♡

Same.
Just showed up in my feed today also, 7/03
My favorite youtuber
So honest, funny and wholesome.
Would love to help you in the farm for free!
You are amazing and just love you, in a good way.
❤️❤️
I miss getting to hang out but completely get how life gets a bit hectic 🤪 been doing overtime at both jobs to try to save downpayment so i can eventually quit one job and be a grandma 😂 I've been harvesting mimosa blooms n' bark and looking forward to filling the pantry
CZcams did not notify about this until just now.
She's re-uploading the lives so that more people see them.
Me neither and they know I watch all her vids. ??
Thank you for your magical videos! Caiyld you make a video for under active thyroid ? It’s for my 15 years young daughter ( yes I said young ) I would be immensely grateful. Love from Poland 🙏🏻
Ps: I did camomile tinctures after watching your video with your daughter. I grew my own camomile in my allotment garden in London Uk and I am yet to try it this autumn. Blessings from Wioletta
I just love you!! I have been wanting to get into herbal medicine & other things of that nature!! I have IBS & a little anxiety & I want to be healthy!!
Are you allergic to gluten? I cured my IBS by excluding all wheat products, which is difficult, but as you can imagine, is life saving.
Good morning! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge!
So happy to see you at tea time. 🙂
I am glad that you are resting up . 🙂
We all need family time and a little time for ourselves . 🙂
Question. 🤔
How can you use and what are the benefits of Joe pye weed . 🤔
I purchased some seeds of it in two different colors they say there is some health benefits to it. 🙂
I would like to know how to use it safely. 🤔
Do I use vodka 100 in a glass jar . 🤔
I also have been quite busy in the garden. 🌿🌱
This year I am having a lot of squashes as well as pumpkins and tomatoes growing .🙂 🍅
Did you know that pumpkin leaves and squash leaves are edible and quite nutritious you cook it in soups and stir fries.😮
Pumpkins and squash produce plenty of leaves which give you plenty of food for emergencies. 🤔
I seen someone in CZcams also drying them for winter or in case of an emergency.
You have to pick the young leaves they are more tender. 🌿🙂🌿🙂
Also dogs and cats as well as other animals can eat them . 🐰🐓🐐🐮😺🐶
Of course you have to cook it for the dog and cat but the other animals like goats and cows and rabbits eat it raw.
Look it up online or in CZcams. 🤔
Great thing to know. 😃
Wow!
So good to know about pumpkin and squash leaves.
I do not have a garden but hopefully in the future.
We are sharing your videos with everyone. Thank you for sharing so deeply. Yesterday I bought a small journal to take notes specifically for herbal remedies, and local plants in my area.
Love your tea-times and totally interested in any cheese-making discussions, lessons, etc. I am milking my sheep.
Im just blown away by you April. I always learn so much useful info from you and i have been researching herbal and alternative medicines for like 20 years!!!! I find most information is something ive already heard or recycled. Thank you!!!!
Bugleweed helps me with my hyperthyroidism … the tincture. Tea is nice as well.
Mother wart, lemon balm, and i am gonna do a flush. I do also need a hormone balancer. Which i think is an intake/ cell integrity issue. I have a number of Appalachian books for looking up things for things. "Its a while thing". Thanks for this tea time.
Good morning, April!
Also ty for the database. I'll give it a look see.
Thanks, April a tonne of information as usual
Lovely chat!
Great video!
Love tea time very educational
Hahaha this is the second time you posted and say it's Friday q&a and my brain explodes...
Friday???Wait, whaaat?
* Runs to frantically check the phone *
Whew! Thought I was loosing massive time spans & panicked. lol
Have a great day 😊
Good morning from Liberty Pole Wisconsin 😊
Where is liberty pole. I’m in Burlington
Hey did you ever get your scurvy under control?
Also, what do you think of sour sop for cancer treatment/prevention? People in the Caribbean swear by it. (referring to the boy with stomach cancer)
Oh this is a good one.
I have tattoos and one on my face … I recently got bad lymph nodes labs… and was told tattoo ink gets right into the lymphatic system.
Does anything clean that out or help with that?? Lymph node and tattoo ink toxicity?
I miss tea ties too .❤❤
Ty as always!
Question what would be good for a dog with lung cancer? Thank you 😊
Currently taking mimosa pudica for gut health.
Is that ok? From an integrated medicine Dr.
Thank you April, what can I use for constance diarrhea?
Question. What is a good remedy for hayfever and allergies? To stop me taking the ceritine hydrocloride. The drowsy tablet as the others Lotradine especially increase my symptoms!
Maybe a video topic about gut health vs city/water softener treated water. My legs/feet swell when I drink it. I have a deep well at home & it takes days to feel better. 😊
I always miss these q&a... I love catching the reruns though.
I am trying to gather info on hormones, I've been suffering from hair loss(dramatic) NO sex drive, irregular period (almost always a week early) abnormal light or very heavy. Fibroid on ovary from last pap
Everything I've gathered from you so far is high estrogen and low testosterone/Progesterone. I got the progest-E you recommended and have used for months and seen no change, I've been dealing with this for about 6 years. Also to add, I was on opiates from an injury that I've recently come off of so very high stress levels on top of all the other issues. No luck from doctors only thing showing in bloodworm is low ferritin levels...so I'm at a loss cuz I just want my life/happiness back..
Thanks for all your wisdom and knowledge girl, you're a true blessing to so many!
If cycling with the progesterone isn't helping it could be testosterone. Also that low ferritin....makes me think you should get your copper levels/vitamin c levels checked!
@sheisofthewoods ill run that by my doctor, thank you so very much for the reply, much love!🤙🏽❤️
I run a childcare service out of my home and I’m suffering from cold after cold after cold after cold. My body is exhausted and finding it very hard to bounce back.
Hi April ❤I asked in another video but watch so many of your videos I don’t know where to look for reply. I have CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia). My white blood cells and even the supposedly normal non cancerous ones are not making immunoglobulins. My IGg and IGg immunoglobulins are very low.I can’t find any herbal information about leukemia especially the type I have as it’s not curable but is chronic. I’m on watch and wait as they call it and I feel helpless not being able to do something with herbs since I have no idea what to do. This type of leukemia is the most common in adults over 50 so there are probably many of us who would love to know. Thanks for doing what you do❤️
Not an herb but look into low dose LDN 💚
@@sheisofthewoods What is that?
@@kimcoppola4664Low dose nalproxen!
Hi April,
Thanks for this q&a.
Random question... what does your tattoos symbolise/mean if you dont mind me asking?
Thanks
You Go Girl😁 fist bump👊 you youngin are Awsome. Thank you for Being You👍⚖🌱
In a few of your videos, you said you don't dry mullein you cure it. I've only dried and cured a different herb. Will you please tell me how you dry/cure your mullein?
You mentioned rancid seed oils, and I have heard others talk about them as well. My question is what about fresh seed oil? Would fresh seed oil be good to use?
Not at all, they rapidly oxidize once made.
Your idea of the in nature experience would😮 be so cool April. If a cost u.s postal is a thing. I am non tech, non gov, non sci, non corp, not enverything in between. I am slowly dieng am 100% ok with my life🥰🌏🌱⚖👍
Hey gang I'm late to the party and don't think April will see this so can anyone answer this? I'm a water keifer rookie, if it's not as fizzy as I would like and I'm kinda catching a buzz what do I need to adjust? More/less sugar? More/less time?
(I thought 4 limes would make lime-aide, lol surprise! I came impressively close to a margarita, I didn't think, it was hot out, it went down easy and wheee! 😂)
What type of bottle are you using? Tight flip top?
@@sheisofthewoods Oh wow! Hi April! Thank you for the reply! Yes, I purchased some sturdy flip top jar style. (lol I'm the one who had the pretty bottles from Big Lots blow up so I went for a more industrial strength jar for the second go around!)
April, you are an awesome human :)
I just found out the purple flowers all over my backyard are self heal! I’m not mowing certain sections for a while so I can hopefully pick them! Anyone know if it’s still safe if a mower has been used over them?
I use mine and my plantain that is constantly being run over by the mower
@@lisawesome7588 thanks Lisa!!
What ingredients are needed to make natural soap? Im drying out some lemonbalm and lavendar
@@raychi701 Google a pretty plant called Soapwort.
I could listen to you all day! I wish I didn't miss the live because I am just starting to feel better from an odd illness that seemed to have started about 4 days after I started drinking Kefir. (store bought)I felt extremely tired for about 4 days l, then my whole body was wrecked with pain. Shooting, stabbing pain all over. I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days. I started to wonder if it could be the Kefir. From what I read, it sounds possible, but even more so if one has SIBO. I have had SIBO in the past, but I am not sure if I still have it. Supposedly, it's very hard to get rid of, so I believe I still have it, but just to a lesser degree. Do you recommend Kefir for people with SIBO?
You went way too fast and experienced a herx reaction. Basically you were sick from too much bad bacteria being killed off at once and the endotoxins make you feel exactly like you described. Kefir is amazing for SIBO/SIFO but you have to go realllllly really slow and as the bad bacteria dies off you can slowly raise the amount you intake 💚
@@sheisofthewoods Thank you so much!💚
More about Iodine....iodine why you need it book by dr. Brownstein.
Hello April! I have a question about tinctures. I made tinctures using 40% vodka. I packed the jars tightly with plant matter. Waited 3 or more months to strain the tinctures. I am not sure if the plant matter was covered with alcohol all the time. Is it possible for any bacteria to survive in this kind of alcohol, botulism for example? I have been worried about this recently and need help to understand this part of the process better. Thank you for your help!
No bacteria, especially not botulism, can survive in the alcohol. If it still obviously smells like alcohol, you're fine 💚
@@sheisofthewoods Thank you very much!
Thanks!
You're welcome and thank you so much for your support 💚
Thanks 😊
What do you think of a tsp of castor oil internally…. For parasites?
Done a few times a year.
Edit: I added turmeric and cloves. I was shocked. I wouldn’t recommend it. It worked, however.
What a terrible time to have eye balls😑
I didn't get the notification 😕
My lemon balm is in flower... Can I cut it back and use the dried flower for tea??
Yep 😊
@@sheisofthewoodsThank you so much! Been looking for answers, figured you're the one to know. Newish to the herb game and trying to kill this anxiety!
My daughter has a problem with her iron or no iron right now, she had to get iron infusions. What can she do to help this.
Get her copper levels checked and dive into the root cause protocol by Morley 😊 I'll also add in to get her vitamin C levels checked. Copper/Vic C are critical for iron uptake and Drs literally almost never test for them.
🌿☀️💕you’re a gem 💎 April🫶
Dang it! Im always late!!!
Me too!
Me 3😊@@thedirtprincess3293

Are essential oils dangerous if used topically?
Absolutely, they easily enter the whole body through the skin and fully repress the skins immune response.
Hiii! My question is not related to this video, but another one you posted about a homemade Electrolyte drink including tart cherry and lime juice that I am absolutely obsessed with. Can you please help me math out how much of each ingredient I Will I need for 2 5 gallon batches of this drink? I'm going to be making it for a camping trip with a large number of people. Please and thank you
Hmmm, well the recipe I showed was for 1/2 gallon so you'd just need to x that by 4 to get to 2.5 gallons 😊
@@sheisofthewoods thank you for being so responsive! It's been a while since I've seen the video and I have been making it by memory so I'll just do my best to make it similarly lol. Hope you are well and sending you lots of love
I love you♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love your locks
Hi
I forsee a little house on the prairie lunch triangle bell with a picknik basket. Ok essential oils can be too intense for in the wind familiars.
Good one! Nice Tats
Oh frig my pen. Manganese 😢
