5 WAYS to USE DANDELION FLOWERS 🌼

Рет қаралды 417,464

3 жыл бұрын

I use dandelions fresh flowers in salads and also infused in ACV to create salad dressings. Dandelion infused oil is used in making hand lotions and salves for skin care. Dandelion tincture will take a while to get ready, however, will be used a few months from now during the cold winter months. Besides drying the flower pedals for tea, I will be making sweet dandelion wine. Making dandelion wine is very experimental and I am still in the learning process. I will be making a separate video about how I am making the dandelion wine and it will take 3-6 months.

O' Dandy Lion so boldly yellow. Sitting on my lawn, such a fine fellow! You are the first sign of Spring whose early scouts make me sing. Soon the whole mob will encamp upon the green grass so damp. Spread afar Like Abraham's children. Boundless stars, over hills they will run. With your gold we are rich, treasure in a field niche. Tis slander to call thee a weed. Thou art a fair flower indeed! I would no more yield to mow you over than a lucky field of four leaf clover. Shine on little sun. With you life seems fun. Soon parachutes will fan, alight over the land. You'll be left bare and bony after your babies take flight. I'll recall grey times, lonely until you made the days bright! (George Wooley)

With regards to your oil firstly if you remove the green base you will eliminate the problem of more moisture which is what will spoil your oil... what you should be using is plain olive oil not extra virgin and also it is very important to use a wooden stick like the end of a wooden spoon or a skewer each day making it keep poking your flowers down keep poking your flowers down keep poking your flowers down as that will allow any air to come to the surface and bubble out. Doing this each day will ensure that your oil does not spoil... your tincture must be made with 100 proof not 80 100 proof is what will extract the medicinal benefits anything higher than 100 Proof will burn it off and anything lower will not extract

I live in the dry desert in Arizona. So, it was challenging to forage dandelions. I discovered I could grow my own in a flower box. It's been two years and flowers bloom nicely. It's been a two year experiment that seems to have been successful. I will be growing more soon. I have to water them everyday bc it's so dry out here but they are thriving. When the heat goes above 100 degrees I slow down the beating sun with a crate. I just cover then to give them shade but still get sun. Yes I started the plant from organic seeds that I ordered on line. Now my new plants provide the seeds. I've made only tinctures so far from the roots that I had to order before I ever tried growing my own. I am so excited to make salves and lotions next. Calendulas were my first friend and the salves came out so good! I gave so many away since I made so much. I loved seeing that you made a personal amount. I will be doing that next time!

On the making of oil, my first oil was spoiled by mold . Then I learned to put a piece of fabric over the top of the jar and not close it with a lid. This way the moisture that is in the plantmaterial will be able to evaporate and leave the jar and there will be no chance for mould. The plantmaterial kind of dries out while being in the oil. When you find it has steeped long enough you can seeve it and THEN close it with a lid.

YOU can mix dandelion flowers and leaves for mixed salads. The leaves, alone, are bitter, but fine in a mixed salad. I learned this from elder relatives and it was great. That was with fresh dandelions. I don't know what the health benefits are, but it is good, and that was with fresh dandelions. Some people made dandelion wine and that apparently was pretty potent, but I don't have a clue how it was made, only having spoken with a few people, including one of my grandfathers, about this. One of my grandmothers also made medicinal herbal tea with dandelions and that was said to be good. My grandmother certainly like it anyway. Anyway, I would not shy away from consuming dandelions, as long as there aren't any toxic pesticides, etc. Doesn't seem like much for a plant, but I learned that it is good for us. Of course that is assuming that a person is not allergic to this, but I never heard or even read that this plant can cause allergies. Maybe it could?

I've made dandelion wine and it was wonderful. The secret (sometimes secrets should be told 😅) is no green foliage in the wine. It will make it bitter. So it will be time consuming. I pick the flower with the hard center. Just dig that out with fingernail and measure about one quart of yellow blossom per gallon, oranges, lemons to taste, 2 cups sugar, 1 red star wine yeast packet, 7 pints water. Set on must 7 to 10 days. Remove from must. Put liquid in bottle. No plant matter. 2 cups more sugar. U may have to top up your water and to fill your gallon. Add balloon on top.21 day latter add 1 to 2 cups more sugar depending on how sweet it is. Leave alone for at least 4 to 7 or more months.😊

Anything can cause an allergic reaction. It just depends on the individual person's response to being exposed to something. Some things are more allergenic though. For example, I didn't know this until I learned it in college, but a lot of people are allergic to strawberries. I also recently heard of someone having an allergic reaction that was attributed to mangos. She was told mangos are related to the poison ivy family. I looked it up, and pistachios and cashews are too! 😮

Love your gentle conveyance of invaluable information. How could it be that this beautiful flower's properties are so unknown. I won't dig them up cos bees nd birds love them - now good reason to actively encourage them. Thank you

Thankyou so much. I had dried some dandelion last spring by letting them dry then I had them in the fridge for a few weeks. They were dried and looked good but after two weeks upon opening my dark glass jar it smelled like its spoiled or like mildew. Sadly I have to throw it away because I'm just not sure. It probably had moister in it even though they felt dry. I'm going to start fresh next spring or purchase fried dandelion. I also used cold pressed fractionated coconut oil so I'll use olive oil next time. I'm thankful I found you. Thanks again and happy new year 🕊🌼💗

My Dad and Mom Use To Make Dandelion Wine When I Was Younger.. Surprisingly, It Was So Delicious! My Mom Was Really Into Natural Healing Since Me and My Siblings Were Kids Growing Up. I’ve Always Been So Grateful For My Parents And Their Ways of Living! Unfortunately My Mom Is No Longer With Us As of 10 Years Ago But, I Have Kept Her Healthy Lifestyle With Me So I Can Teach My Children and Grandchildren How To Live A Healthier Life As Well.. I Can Only Hope They Will Follow My Footsteps As I Did My Parents and Continue To. Thanks for Sharing All Your Helpful Videos, I Appreciate Being Able To Keep Learning More Each Day As Life Goes On!😊

Thank you for making this video. I am glad to see someone else is as excited about this great plant as myself. I made a salad with the leaves today too with a simple oil & vinegar dressing with added honey…it helped with the bitterness.

@Luli's Homestead Hi! Thank you for this video on the beautiful dandies. I had picked a ton of them for my sister to make wine. However, she did not remove the greens. 30 bottles of awful bitter wine. Do you think the wine can be turned into a tincture by adding vodka? Hate to pour all that wine down the drain.

I'm a first-time viewer of your videos.😢 you Thank you for this information. May I offer a suggestion? I hope so, haha, as I'm going to. I plan to use something other than newsprint because both the ink as well as the paper are made from highly toxic chemicals e.g. chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, etc.. What I think I'll try will be an old drapery sheer possibly over a thin piece of scrap cotton e.g. an old pillow case with the seams ripped out to lay flat. Both are slick enough for the bugs to crawl across easily. But the cotton might help to keep the sheer from slipping around. Just a thought. But thanks for the info!

I have several books as well. My favorite ones are a set by Rachel Weaver M.H. Be Your Own Doctor. Be Your Own Doctor II. Backyard Pharmacy. Be Your Child's Pediatrician. I bought a set for my DIL who loaned them to her parents, who bought a set for their other nine grown children. I also bought a set for several friends. Rachel is now deceased. One of her sons has taken over the orders. Books are $25.00 each, and well worth the sum. Phone information has changed since Rachel's death, as her husband can no longer deal with orders. But the address will get you to the source. Share-A-Care 240 Mohns Hill Road Reinholds, PA 17569 Rachel was a humble soul and writes as beautifully as our host speaks. She gives so much background information and actual uses for herbal concoctions with persons she has helped who were experiencing various injuries and ailments. Beautifully illustrated by her daughters and photographs of plants with their uses fill the body of the books. Interspersed are recipes for their uses. In the back are "how to's" for making salves, tinctures, poultices, teas, infusions...indexes: a real treasure to keep handy on your bookshelf for immediate use. Hope this helps.
