Teasel with Dr Patrick Jones + Teasel and Hops Pain Spray
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 11. 2023
- My conversation with Dr. Patrick Jones ranged widely, from the wonders of teasel to amazing tales from Doc Jones’ veterinary practice, including how herbs helped heal severe wounds and treat rattlesnake bites. (That last one was my personal question.)
Teasel is an herb I admittedly don’t work with a lot, but it’s a fascinating plant, both in its gifts and how it grows. Doc Jones has seen it help multiple clients in his naturopathy practice with nerve pain or damage. You won’t want to miss the stories he relates about patients who were helped by teasel’s unique gifts! And as a listener, you’ll also receive free access to a downloadable recipe card for Doc’s Teasel & Hops Pain Spray.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know:
► The important role intuition can play in learning about herbs
► Why it’s smart to address pain from more than one direction
► How to identify and when to harvest teasel
► Why working with herbs may be challenging for some medical professionals (and the foundation they need for working successfully with both pharmaceuticals and herbs)
► and more…
For those who don’t already know him, Dr. Patrick Jones is a clinical herbalist, traditional naturopath and practicing veterinarian. Because of his veterinary credentials, he's been able to use herbs to treat cases most herbalists don't get to address. Cases like rattlesnake bites, gunshot wounds and serious disease make up his daily practice.
Because of the amazing things he's seen herbs do in both his naturopathy and veterinary practices, Doc has an evangelical zeal to teach others about medicinal plants. This passion gave rise to the founding of The HomeGrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine.
It was a delight to finally sit down with Doc Jones and I’m so happy to share our conversation with you today!

I went to visit my sister, and she was so sick for month, I had no idea it was that serious, and wend she said good bye, I understood how bad was, my husband said, listen everyone has to die, but I see your sister badly sick.. I got home asked the divine to help me, I went outside to all my herbs and pick, ginger, turmeric, oregano, mint, marjoram and some rosemary and I made 5 liters of tea. Next day We went back to her house and I served her the tea, she drank it, I told her son please give at least two cups twice a day. He did, my sister is standing up today, I did go every week then every two weeks, with the same quantity of tea for her. Of course, it was the one up there who I ask and he delivered, I am not religious, but a good prayer 🙏 yes!!! Thank you 🙏 for the show, yes I believe we all have plants everywhere we don’t know,but they are available to us, we all just have to make an effort and learn.
Doc is my mentor and I am a student in his school. He has a wealth of knowledge. I was looking for a way to learn about herbs in an in-depth and organized way (previously I was using the "hunt and peck" method of learning about herbs and I was all over the map and not confident...) and Doc's school filled the bill--and then some. I understand that people are concerned about finances currently, and I've been asked if I felt I "got my money's worth" so to speak, from the school. YES! What I learned/am learning in the school is worth much more than the cost of admission. I have become a confident herbalist because of what I've learned in the school and my family considers me their "primary care" person. I have addressed cold and flu, including Covid, injuries, tooth/gum issues, psoriasis, boil, stings, hormone issues, and so much more. Doc is available and approachable to his students and I really appreciate that. Love ya, Doc! (and you too, Rosalee!)
Doc Jones is amazing and funny! I am currently taking his Homegrown Herbalist course and it's great! I highly recommend it!
Great to hear!
~Karin Rose
Glad you're enjoying the school :0)
Doc Jones
Im about to start and im excited
@@HomeGrownHerbalist
I too very much enjoy your style of teaching, with your real life background knowledge!
I ordered the course a number of years ago. And life has thrown unexpected challenges my way. But I’m ready to start going through the course again, how do I find it again. We have since changed computers since ordering the course.
Me too and I love it. I’ve learned so much!
I follow Dr jones the Homegrown Herbalist youtube channel. Nice to watch him here with you. 😊
So glad you enjoyed the podcast!
~Karin Rose
Hi Melanie. Thanks for watching.
Doc Jones
DR jones great herbalist
Thanks for the kind words. It was fun to talk with Rosalee.
Doc Jones
I'm excited to find an herbalist that treats animals.! Thank you so much for this episode.
You are so welcome!
~Karin Rose
I made all of my human formulas so they'd be critter-friendly as well. I also have a line specifically for common dogs issues.
Doc Jones
This was gold. Teasel was one of the first plants I was drawn to as a child too, I remember being driven to school one day and asking my dad what it was - he didn't know (the other was Hawthorn, which he did know!) I grow it in my garden now, but had no idea of this use for nerve pain. Thank you very much Rosalee for this excellent pod, and thanks to Dr. Jones for sharing this valuable information.
Heeeey! Love to see my 2 favorite herbalist talking to eachother!
My 2 favorite herbalists! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

My cat just went through a fairly traumatic illness. I treated him with several herbs. Soaked his wound with Chamomile, Olive oil, catnip, rosemary... The greatest solution that came out of all this was to give him Ghee to move the stool out (He was severely constipated. Then because he was so weak and frail and underweight, I got him some chicken liver and hearts. Parboiled them and put them in the chopper. He gobbled them up. He is so much better now. He is a different cat. My vet is a natural healing vet. He gave me a Chinese Golden Healing Powder for his wound. Did wonderfully. He is all healed up and the fur is starting to grow back. Wish I had known about Marshmallow.
Thanks for sharing, I am so glad to hear your cat is feeling better!
Oh my…. This is a great video. My husband suffers from a rare autoimmune disease called CIDP which is the evil twin disease to MS. The body attacks the Myelin that covers the nerve and leaves the person in pain all over as it is of the Peripheral Nervous System
Now to find out how to obtain and use
Fascinating guest. I've just recently found feral hops and teasel nearby, so I am marking them for the spring/fall. My husband has nerve pain and this just might be the best for him. Thank you.
Hops should be harvested in the late summer/early fall when is starts to get the golden powder on it and smells like hops instead of green stuff. Harvest teasel roots at the end of the first year or early spring of the second.
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist thank you
I am involved ans I can not believe how wonderful the school is. Love the podcasts
I loved hearing from Doc Jones, what a remarkable person with a remarkable career!
Thank you for having my favorite herbalist!
Doc Jones has such an amazing Soul, I love his teachings. I too am taking the Homegrown Herbalist course and learning so much and enjoying every minute of it.
How funny, I was just watching his teasel video yesterday that he has on his channel!
Deja vu. :0)
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist Oh Hi there, Doc Jones!! I've just recently discovered you have a CZcams channel of your own after seeing you around on others'. You are a wealth of information and I cannot wait to dig in and learn from your videos!
This is exciting! Thanks for bringing great guests and information! Now to find teasel! Woo hoo!
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it!
~Karin Rose
Just don't 'hug it when you find it. It's prickly.
Doc Jones
I love teasal! Such a beautiful plant!
It really is!
~Karin Rose
I really is striking. They use it a lot in flower arrangements and stuff. They used to use it for carding "teasing" wool. Hence the name.
Doc Jones
Another fun and interesting interview. I'll need to look up what the plant looks like in the first year. Thank you Rosalee!
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for being in our herbal community and watching the podcast!
~Karin Rose
The first year plants will be near the old momma plants with the spikey heads. They have elongate, crinkly leaves with a row of small spines running along the main vein on the back of the leaf. Quite distinctive looking and easy to recognize once you meet them.
Doc Jones
wonderful information, many thanks
This conversation was inspirational. Thanks so much. Will follow up with the vet.
Very interesting thank you😊
Love this💚
Thank you. Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for sharing!!❤
Thanks for watching.
Doc Jones
@@HomeGrownHerbalist I’m so grateful that you and Rosalee are so unselfish in sharing your invaluable knowledge. God bless you both❤️
Amazing wow.😊
Rosalee is a great interviewer and a lovely soul. :0)
Doc Jones
Great show, thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
~Karin Rose
Thanks for watching. It was delightful to visit with Rosalee
I love your channel so much
Awww...thank you!
Oh so excited to use Teasel, just made tincture and oil, I heard it does something increadible to your pshyce too, like taking people out of artist block.
This is so inspiring, informative and great sense of fun and humor! 🤗🌿🌸 And, yes to Michael Moore. He has given me herbal advice in dreams! I worked at his herb store owned by Daniel Gagnon now. Can't wait to read Dr. Jones' books. Thankyou for your inspiration Rosalee! Great to learn more about Teasel. Question: does echinacea increase hyaluronic acid in joints?
Just subscribed to Mickeys channel. Thanks Doc!
Fantastic interview; I love both of your CZcams channels! I have 2 of your books, Rosalee, & use them a lot! Thanks for sharing & I’m collecting seeds of these wonderful plants! I don’t know if I can get Doc Jones’ tinctures sent to Canada, though. Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
So glad you enjoyed the podcast with Doc Jones and Rosalee. Best wishes with your teasel plants!
~Karin Rose
Thank you so much for this information. You are a great interviewer and a very sweet person. I live in New Mexico and I also have a lot of rattlesnakes. I bought Dr. Jones venom and sting product and have it on hand. We only had one rattlesnake this year, but we usually can find as many as 5 of them a summer. Not too much fun! I once heard Dr. Jones say dogs are dumb and when they hear that rattle sound they will just stick their head in further to see what it is and he said usually humans aren't that dumb. I guess that is why we don't get bit as much. But you never know when you might step on a snake or find them in your garden under the plants. I'm going to get myself some hops spray, my husband is having a pain in his cheek right now and that might help that. He just went to a dentist this morning and paid $500.00 for something to keep him from grinding his teeth. It probably won't even work! Thanks again, very interesting.
Thank you for your kind words on Rosalee's behalf! I agree she is a great interviewer! Her podcasts are very interesting and informative. You sound prepared for any rattlers that come your way.
All the best,
Karin Rose
@@HerbsWithRosalee I assume her podcasts are on here, her channel. This is the first time I've been to your channel. After this video I might go ahead and order another bottle of venom and sting and hops.
It is absolutely true. My beloved schnauzer stuck his head in a hole and got bit. I got him to the vet within 15 min and he had antivenom but still didn’t make it. It was absolutely horrible to witness. I’m always on a mission to warn people about it now.
@@KailuaChick Oh wow so sorry. Thanks for saying something cause we brought a puppy home so I do have a dog. The rattlesnake we found this summer was about 5 feet away from my dog's pen he is kept in, it was curled up in a defensive position. It was a big rattlesnake. I think because my dog was in his pen it saved my dog's life. I will keep in mind what you have said if he should ever get bit, take my venom and sting with me to the vet or just treat him myself at home.
Sorry about your husbands tooth. Put some cloves on it from your spice drawer while you wait for your hops. Cloves tincture is one of my favorites for toothache but even the powder can work in a pinch if it's good quality.
Doc Jones
❤❤❤
Question for Dr. Jones: I have Teasel root and Hops both in tincture (separately). Can I mix them to make a spray that will also work for pain?
Sure, I would try a mix of both tinctures.
~Karin Rose
@@HerbsWithRosalee thank you! Loved the video!
Thank you for this inforation. I am a herbalist, working at the TCM way, so making formula with more herbs in it. Sometimes I give a single herb. Hearing this episode, I wonder if this combination of Hops and Teasel also can work on neuropathy of the feet. My husband has it and I now presribed him a combination of St. Johnsworth, Horsetail and Oat.
I looked up Dr Jones' book The Home Grown Herbalist on Amazon and it said it is unknown when or if it will be back in stock.
I recommend opening the show notes (click "... more" under the video) and contacting Dr. Patrick through one of the listed options.
~Karin Rose
Very informative. I know of a few people I can try teasel with. The one question I have is this: what does a teasel plant look like when it’s right to harvest?
The first year plants will be growing at the feet of the second year plants. They consist of elongate, dark green leaves with jagged edges and have a row of small spines running up the vein on the back. There are pictures of it in my book The HomeGrown Herbalist Guide to Medicinal Weeds....also on wikimedia commons and a lot of other places on the internet...or in my book. LOL
Doc Jones
Thank you for your replay and all the great information you so generously shared.
🥰
Hi dr Jones’s . How do you heal a cancker sore .. ??
I've never heard of Teasel. What zones does it grow in? I am in 4/5. I will have to see if it is available in our local nursery next spring. Seems like a good one to have.
I live in zone 5b and it is plentiful. This is a weed. You will be better off going to your local state parks than a local nursery. Good luck!
Cool, Thanks.
@@nubbletsmomma
What can i use to help my seemingly arthritic dog?
Doc Jones. In the beginning of the video you mentioned steaming leaves for your face. What was that plant. I don't know what mytah is 😊
I’m curious what constituents are in teasel seeds as I had a pony who would eat the seed heads once in awhile. She would crunch the entire thistle head, and get this look of enjoyment like it was making her high. Any idea Doc Jones?
Hello 👋🏻
So glad I found another herbalist. I’m already familiar with Doc Jones, and I just subscribed to your channel as well.
Question: I already have the teasel tincture from Doc Jones and started hops tincture yesterday (after a friend shared some of her hops tincture from Doc Jones with me). Can I combine the two tinctures for a spray? Or do these two need to be combined before tincturing?
Welcome to the podcast! You may combine them while making it or combine two finished tinctures.
Cheers,
Karin Rose
@@HerbsWithRosalee thank you so much for replying ☺️
I've have not seen yet an oil extraction with Teasel, would that be effective? I'd love to make the "pain spray" into a salve with a bit of Cayenne. Thoughts please?
How about neuropathy? teasel or hops or both. Will they help? topically or internal? Tincture?
I've used hops topically and teasel both ways. Alpha-lipoic acid (an amino acid you can buy at about any place that sells vitamins and such) sometimes helps a lot too.
Doc Jones
What is the botanical name for the Teasel you are talking about in this video? I live in Australia, and it is rare here. I can get a hold of Dipsacus sativus seed, is this species suitable for pain relief?
Doc Jones says in the podcast he uses several different species (Dipsacus spp.) and they have all worked. You will want to ensure proper ID and may wish to discuss with your local herbalists, as well.
~Karin Rose
My son took his cat to the Vet because she seemed to have trouble eating. It seems she has an immune disorder and her teeth have to be pulled. They say she will have it and be on meds for the rest of her life. What herb can be used for her immune system? Thank you!
What's the difference between extract and tincture?
I think tincture are made with strong vodka like 80 to 100 proof and extracts aren't. I heard the lady from Rain Country channel on CZcams explain it, you could look on her channel. I forget what she said she uses for extracts, it was something less strong than vodka.
We usually call alcohol extracts, tinctures so they are the same thing. However, som tinctures are alcohol free-they are extracted with glycerin. Depending upon the herb you can extract the medicinal qualities with water, honey, ACV, vegetable glycerin, and oil.
@@gowest5145 thank you
@@tmetme687 thank you
What species teasel are you referring to?
The Teasel could be acting as a glial cell inhibitor.
