In 2016 I had this feeling that I needed to go to a plant walk and wound care class in Salt Lake City that Doc Jones hosted. I'm in the Phoenix area of Arizona. I'm a massage therapist. to go I borrowed $200 from one of my clients, took my Honda goldwing motorcycle in to repair the leak in my front tire. They told me that both tired needed to be replaced and that I would need to check in Salt Lake City to see if they needed replacing before I rode home. I had no finance for that. I said my prayers, contacted my goldwing group found someone to stay with while I was in Salt Lake City that lived in Sandy. I went to the class, I was late getting there because of an event where people were walking that I had to figure out how to go around since they had the streets blocked off. But got there while they were in the medicinal plants area, I was glad not to have to walk any more since my arthritic knees were very painful. We went to the hotel where he had set up the workshop for learning wound care. and I was pleased to find my paramedic background mad made it easier for the anatomy and physiology part. I was delighted to learn about salves, lotions and tinctures. He handed out supplies to have us practice suturing on grapefruit and came around and helped us with our stitches. I was very grateful. On the way home, I did not check my tires on my motorcycle since I had no funds to replace them. But praise the Lord I got a call from a new friend who asked me to come home through Flagstaff instead of Los Vegas and he would buy me a set of tires. So that is what I did. I turn 70 next month, I joined his herbalism school in 2016 after being denied doing the herbalism school at SWIHA in Tempe AZ probably because of my arthritis since I couldn't do the walks in the desert, but have been very glad I was denied there and joined Doc Jones school of Herbalism. So much to learn and he has such a great background and you even learn information on treating your pets. total Win Win situation. Join his school you won't regret it. And you can be a hero to your family treating situations before they become critical. And there are so many answers for problems you are not aware of that can be helped, you do not have to suffer in silence. Go for it!!

Not herb-related, but intermittent fasting has been helping me sleep soooo much better. It's giving my digestive system time to slow down and rest, which allows my brain to rest, too.

Ditch the screens and read a book an hour before sleep. Something about the linear eye exercise and our brain's ability to, continue to learn or process what you've read the previous hour before drifting off. It helps me immensley in organizing my waking hours. My beginning observation of this was with scripture, but when I dove in to survival and homesteading (always a prepper living in Fla.) I found that this practice was extremely benificial as well. Reading politics DOES NOT work for me though.

Thanks for the info. Stacy from Off-grid the Doug and Stacy say 3-2-1 3 hours before bed do not eat, 2 hours before bed sit back and relax, and 1 hour before bed no electronics.

Fun fact testosterone peaks durring your first REM cycle in sleep. I've been taking fenugreek (support testosterone production) right before I go to sleep and the dreams have become so vivid and I've been waking up and hour early with no fatigue.

Doc Jones is an excellent teacher. I've been in his herbalist school since 2016 and he has more than twice the content now than he did then ..... and no extra cost. I feel bery blessed to learn from his school of botanical medicine.

I am exhausted at 9 PM, fall asleep within minutes... my issue is waking up early (anywhere between 2-4 AM) and being able to go back to sleep.

Anyone else ironically watching this at night instead of going to sleep?

I keep thinking about studying using your school. Hoping to afford that soon. I love the fact that you understand the use of herbs with animals and people!

I get really excited when I see that you have put out a new video! Sincerely appreciate the hard work that goes unto making these videos. You have done such great things with your channel. Thank you friend. ☺️

I learn more from you than any other source.

Please create a curriculum for homeschoolers. 🙏

Why does this guy not have a million subscribers?

Thanks for this video! Sleep is an issue for so many people. I would love a video on dealing with migraines...I know several people who suffer with them on a regular basis.

Love your great sense of humor and common sense and info is just what am looking for

I love you Doc. Your humor and knowledge is just amazing. I'm moving my mom in with me this summer and I'm hoping to get her off of Zquil. She takes a 1/2 dose before bed and then another when she wakes up in the night.

This is a great video!

I love the video as usual. Thanks Doc!!

your sense of humor makes me feel better!

I really like your vibe, lets all like his videos so YT can recommend his videos

Always enjoy your videos!! Thanks for sharing!

scullcap.....what a wonderful remedy.

Interesting about Valerian Root. Inu a Ed to be able to take it and it helped me sleep great for about 3 months. Then I started eaking up about 3 or 4 in the morning jittery and unable to sleep. Why?! It helped me so much before. 😥 I am not add but my brain is constantly going.

Great video always very informative 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿

You are loved by all who you bless with your guidance and awesome info. Be blessed in the name of Jesus!♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks Doc 🌱 it's so good to see you! I really appreciate the information and wisdom you have imparted to us. We recently purchased the capsule-it Carolyn mentioned on Homesteading Family (which is where we met you🎉) and right away made 200 size 00 caps of moringa taking two in the a.m. and two in the evening. Going into it we decided to follow this practice for ten days and will reacess when we get there, but the impact has been very pronounced. I do wonder about taking it like twice a day 6 hours apart rather than 12 hours apart or maybe 4 caps just in the morning. Thanks for all that you do and your family too!! 🩷

I have been watching your videos and you are very knowledgeable. I hope you can help me. My husband keeps getting the purple patches on his arms from just the slightest bump. He is 69 years old. Do you have any advise about any herb that could help him not get so many of these purple patches? Thank you.

Love your videos , thankyou. What sort of things could help someone with insomnia that is made worse by when they do actually get abit of sleep they have severe nightmares making getting to sleep worse?

Would you please do a video on severe chronic fatigue? Not sure exactly what is causing my issues but I'd like to defeat them.

That's write I been using this valerian root for the pass 10 years every night.

I have several tea blends for bed time routine but listen to this, one of them is Damiana, Hubiscus, Passion Flower and Lavender, this tea keeps me awake, I thought it was the Damiana but its not bc I had it in another blend, could it be the Hibiscus?

To scared to take sleep aids I stop breathing enough during the day and way to often at night (average 2x a minute) afraid of what would happen if I was even deeper asleep What I really need is something to help me with the sugar cravings

Any thoughts on German chamomile being more indicated for digestion / sleep and Roman chamomile being more indicates for skin / antibacterial ?

Hi Doc Jones!! I read that skullcap is not good for the liver. Is this true or skullduggery? Thank you.

Are these taken as teas or tinctures? If tincture is it by dropper or in water.

I had hphlori i believe i got or a uti

My sister has seizures and she is on medicine and we're wondering if there was anything all natural some kind of herb she could take instead of her Pharmaceutical?

looking for herbs that will help with epilepsy.

My biggest problem-and I've tried tons of things-isn't necessarily falling asleep, but staying asleep.. 12-3 or 4 in waking up and don't do restful sleep much after then. Nothing regular anyway.

Doc, my 14 month grandson will not sleep thru the night. Could we give him the formula for someone?

!!!!good quality meat!!!!

Are any of these good for dogs that freak out during thunder storms. 😂

I can fall asleep, but have trouble staying asleep. Can any of these plants help with this problem as well?
