I made dandelion root and leaf tonic this year for the first time. Supposed to be good for the liver and kidneys. Kept it in a mason jar and sipped it over three days. It was surprisingly mild and refreshing served chilled. A new tradition, born.

MR, I will relocate the dandelion fluff to my tiny front yard from my neighbors lawn. Done this over the last several years. I have an agreement with the lawn care guys for another neighbor to not overspray and poison out my dandy crop. I have a nice crop of dandelion for salads. This idea of yours is a new plan. As I have the same splitting of my thumb tips and fingers. From the 👍. Best

I love this content! This is what makes your channel different from all the rest…simple, useful information I can truly use.

Excellent information, Modern Refugee!! Thanks so much and God bless!

Yes. Great salve/balm. Save those small altoid tins and the like to make a small batch to put in the bug out/ get home bag, too. Or just in a jacket pocket. Not an inside one or it will melt.

The flowers we like in tea as well

This is so easy. My yard and fields are full of dandelions right now, so this is a great time for this video. Thanks MR.

Good video thanks for sharing YAH bless !

When we lived in the city my neighbor told me she loved looking over into our yard because it looked "like a grandma yard". Between the clothes line, the flower, bed, the garden, all the fruit trees, and the weeds that I purposely left in place, it brought back good memories of my Granny's yard too.

Thank you, now I know one of the things I can do with my WHOLE yard of dandelions. And thank you for the link on medicinal remedies.

Excellent information! My great aunt made a mean dandelion wine 😁 Thanks MR 😎👍

Im going to try this. Ty

Thank you for great information.

Interesting video - one nurse my wife work with I forget which Asia country she came from but Dandelions are highly valued for many things but are hard to grow there.

Very cool, MR! I remember my cousin and I helped my uncle make dandelion wine.

Oh nice I make this every year

Great video, thank you for sharing.

Thanks MR ! Our daffodils have just started to bloom so the dandelions should be flowering soon in the scheme of things. 🤔

Neat!

Thank you so much for sharing! Have a great week! 😊

Thank you for posting. I made six jars of Dandelion tincture last week. Those jars are in a dark place in our basement for at least eight weeks. God bless.

I've made many different balms, but never dandelion balm-I will now!! My mother always made dandelion jelly, and I carried on the tradition-dandelion jelly is awesome!! I go out in the mornings and gather about 2 cups of dandelion leaves, put then in the Vitamix along with a quart of filtered water and drink it!! There's nothing like free medicine!! I thank you for this video, and for giving me another use for dandelions!!

Great info, thank you!

I love this 😊

Really helpful!

Was just looking at the wine recipe you shared yesterday. Thx Modern

Fabulous video! Thank you so much! What a wonderful teacher you are and I appreciate you. God bless you and yours!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Amazing.

I’m going to make this I already have the beeswax 🌻

Great use of an otherwise widely overlooked natural resource. I cannot recall the last time I saw a dandelion growing in our property. Never do any lawn treatments, they just don't seem to naturally occur here.

I haven’t even started watching this video, and it already MADE MY DAY!! So Many thanks in advance!! Haha:):) Yes! Dandelion salad!! Love it, made it not too long ago:)

Thank You! This will be great and I will be making some of this!

Made a balm last year with plantain self heal coconut oil & lard have used as a drawing salve worked great. Heat & cook with wood always get splinters

I've made dandelion tincture but never salve. Thank you for another great idea!

I made that same balm/salve 2 years ago, and we have almost used it up. We discovered that it gives us relief from mosquito bites, as well as helping to heal cuts, scrapes, etc.

Great demonstration MR, thanks! If you've never tried it, dandelion root extract (a few drops in a glass of water taken each day for several days) makes a great Spring "liver tonic" and can help a person quickly eliminate toxins from their body. In my case, it helped me better recover from the effects of the general anaesthesia I was given back when I had major surgery many years ago. Good stuff!

Really cool, thank you

Didn't know about doing a balm. Thanks for showing this. Would love to see more of your recipes.

Excellent video!! I’m looking forward to making some soon. I’ll probably add some comfrey in, because I love my homemade comfrey salve for moisturizing and soothing my hands. I bet a few drops of oregano oil or a capsule of Vitamin D oil would be a nice addition, as well.

Not me sitting over here realizing the lawn treatment guys were just here this morning spraying crabgrass inhibitor 😬We do have a neighbor a couple doors down who doesn't bother, so I'll go raid his lawn sometime. Thanks for the tips!

🎵Dandelion wine Dandelion wine 🎶 🎵Nothing so fine as dandelion wine 🎶

Just made some dandelion jam last week. Foraging in the backyard!

I made this. A few years ago based off your previous video!

Great info as well as timely. Have a great day.

Great recipe. Approximately how long does the balm last? Can't wait to collect some dandelions. Thank you for the tutorial.

True herbal conscious Peeps, stay away from processed oils, like Sunflower, Vegetable, Safflower, Olive Oil and I hear even Grapeseed Oil. Avocado Oil, Help Oil, Beef Tallow are the best. Tallow is a firm fat, when cold, so little beeswax is needed. I like Hemp because it is high on Omega 3. Most people are very low on Omega 3. Avocado Oil is great for fats and not going rancid.

They make a delicious wine too

Hi Modern Refugee

Thank you! I was wondering if you know anything about using elderberry leaf for medicinal uses? Found this info from the UK~ The leaves are some of the first of the trees to appear after winter and are used in ointments for bruising, sore muscles and chilblains. When applied topically, they appear to break down bruises and work as an anodyne or relaxant to relieve pain. They are not used internally, only externally due to their content of toxic cyanogenic glycosides including sambunigrin.. Do you have a recipe for dandelion wine?

Sure you heard this before you look like Gerald Mcraney love my wild flowers

When you put it on your hands, are you left with that weird greasy feeling?

A question if I may please,... Can you also use this on your lips if they're chapped? Thank you.

Me and the baby collected dandelions every morning after feeding the chickens for about a 2 week period. I put them in a bag in the freezer because I wasn't sure how I wanted to use them. I'll be giving this balm a try. Looks like an easy one. Thanks!

Being up north, a good hand balm is essential.
