Heidi I love when you sit and process herbs from your garden while you talk about the benefits. I feel so drawn in when you do these type of presentation. This is so valuable! I watched ladt night at 3am and actually did not drift of to sleep. That is how well I felt drawn in. In fact I will go out today and harvest some of my sage to make this. I really had no idea how much benefit this great herb had. I already have sore throat tincture but nie will be adding this. I hope you never stop sharing and I love love love the Tribe. I will be sharing this video on Facebook.

Thank you for this, have you any herbs/ tips for good kidney health please?

@HeidiVillegas 7 ай бұрын

Be sure to start learning herbalism, as what I've found is we are usually our own first client, and herbs are not drugs, so there's a completely different thought process involved. Herbs to research for kidney health as starters: dandelion leaf, nettle leaf, goldenrod, horsetail, cleavers, wild violet leaf, and others....

You can add it to water, use it in cooking, take it as a syrup, etc. It's really flexible. Since these are "food" herbs, you really don't need to worry about taking too much unless you're really overdoing it!

Hi Heidi. Great video. I have one question; would using the dried herb be OK to make the oxymill concoction?

@HeidiVillegas 7 ай бұрын

Yes, it would. Just use about 1/3 the amount, as the leaves will reconstitute somewhat in the liquid. :-)

@laural230 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video Heidi - I think my sage is still ok to pick as we have had a mild winter so far. Guess I will make an oxymel and maybe a tincture. Do the harvest rules still apply i.e. only 1/3 of the plant or since it is going into winter can I harvest more and still have it come back?

@HeidiVillegas 6 ай бұрын

Hi, Laura! With sage, you can cut it back like you would mint---not to the ground, but leave about 8 inches. If it's dormant, this is fine. If not yet dormant, stick with the 1/3 rule.

Hi, Maureen---I grow a LOT of my own herbs. In fact, I once counted up all the herbs I cultivate and also forage nearby, and it was around 120 ish. There are probably more now. I've made videos about many of the herbs in my garden and even have a playlist on this....

Are these dried sage or fresh? You stated water in honey is not good.

These are freshly wilted. Before using fresh herbs in honeys or oils or even vinegar, I make sure they're wilted so excess moisture is released first.

So after sitting just a spoonful of the entire contents?

@HeidiVillegas 7 ай бұрын

You can actually consume the whole thing, if you want to. Or you can strain it off and use the syrup only. This should yield about a cup and a bit all together if you strain it.
