I'am a Botanical Sanctuary with United Plant Saver's near Portland, Oregon. There are many amazing Alder Trees here 30 to 50years old. They are not appreciated by neighbor's & most people consider them a weed tree but they have always held magic to me. They make amazing baskets too & having your hands turn red in the process is a perk:) Thank you for showing them some love & care!

I believe indigenous people around the world had similar natural medicines. Cures instead of merely treatment to hide symptoms.

@@OG1919 Absolutely! There is no money in cures, unfortunately. We still make sure that everyone knows, as they are receiving the Native teachings, that this is not ever to be done for monetary gain. Medicine was given to us and it is not our right to sell it.

Hey! I am from Germany and I have learned a lot about this tree from one of the best ethnologists Wolf Dieter Storl.. what is interesting is that it is a really dark tree ( yet by darkness I don’t mean anything bad), when you take your time to sit and meditate with the tree, you feel how something pulls you straight down into the earth ! They have something really mystical, magical about them ! Thank you for the knowledge you are sharing! ❤

Great work Yarrow. You're a blessing for people and society. We live in a world quickly profiting from sickness, pain, disruption, and separation. We need to harness, develop, and secure an environment to create a safe space to heal people properly. It's a sick business of wasted time, literally.

I started making tincture just from twigs and catkins since I dont dare to harm the tree myself but yesterday I found freshly fallen big branch so I brought it home. Gonna add it to tinkctre, dry the rest and probably make oil infusion. Very exciting. It is my first time working with Alder. We have red colored smooth bark here in northern nevada. Beautiful and lash, grows right in the water.

This is one of my favorite trees. Great for all the reason you mentioned plus I think the wood is a fabulous furniture wood. Red Alder also coppices very well so one tree can provide a lot of firewood or chop and drop mulch.

A truly lovely tree but maybe not in a tiny garden. Just over 2 years ago I planted what I thought was a hazel sapling from my daughter's garden and it is now much too tall. It's as tall as the house and only last week did my brother identify it and read that it could grow to 90 feet.

Thank you so much. One time I was very sick and had swollen glands and my throat was closing. I forgot I had made an Alder Bark Tincture. I can’t remember how much I took but probably 1 to 2 ml quite frequently in the beginning and within a day and a half my throat and swollen glands magically disappeared. I had read about not taking larger doses long term so I was very happy with my results. My ancestors were Vikings and not sure if that helped!! :)

Thank you so much for sharing, I recently started an Instagram in order to catalog all the knowledge I learned about foraging over the last twenty years. This is definitely one I wondered about but overlooked. It seems if we pay attention to the plants that come back with a vengeance after cutting down we will notice they have the most medicinal properties. Mother Nature is an amazing thing. I love that you specify if something is immunomodulating vs immunostimulating. I have MS and even before my diagnoses I made a connection that euchinacea was bad for me and I questioned Chaga. One thing that helps me tremendously is prunella vulgaris, I would get mad when my husband would mow it over, now I realize it might have been helping it spread.

Thank you for all your helpful knowledge on this tree.

@JulieWolf 3 жыл бұрын

You can prune it back in your garden and it will coppice (make lots of new shoots) so you can have lots of bark and spring leaves to use and keep it pruned short to not shade your garden. I a doing the same thing with my food forest fruit trees in my garden, keeping them pruned short to let the sun into the garden all around the fruit and nut trees.
