I have an experience with Comfrey I would like to share. Comfrey usually grows wild in gardens around here. Some people consider them weeds and pull them out. I live in the country and my garden is a mix of both nursery bought and wild plants which I leave for the bees and other other beneficial creatures. A few years back, I had somehow injured my wrist. It did not heal over the following weeks so I went to the doctor and after checking to make sure it wasn't broken, he pretty much told me to rest it and use an anti - inflammatory. Months went by and although the anti - inflammatory did work for as long as I took it, the pain and weakness would just come back. It got so bad, I could not hold anything, not a pen, a cup, anything, without it falling out of my hand. One day a friend came to visit. He noticed I was not able to use my right hand. I told him my woes and he told me to wait a few minutes and went into my garden. He was back in a few minutes and put a pot of water to boil on the stove. He took a few leaves from his hand and dipped them into the hot water. He then took a clean cotton dish towel, folded it, dipped it into the hot water, wrung it out and placed a few leaves into the fold. He placed it on my wrist and told me to leave it there for about 10 minutes which I did. We chatted and I forgot about the fact I was holding onto this cloth around my wrist. By the time I thought about it, I realized the pain had disappeared! He told me that I should repeat the process every time I started to feel pain and to make sure I used the cloth as putting the leaves against bare skin could cause a reaction. I only had to do this 3 times and the pain and weakness went away completely. It's been 30 years and my wrist is perfect.

Our Creator gave us everything we needed, when he made us.

It seems so silly to me when people question nature's medicine as if humans had no way to treat illness and injury before the big pharma arrived 😆 Good info, Mary. I especially like the book recommendations.

you are the first youtuber doing herbal medicine talk with actual science behind it and actual warnings and things! so glad youtube recommended you!

Wise and comprehensive, as always Mary! Here's a tip using Chamomile; if you water seedlings with Chamomile tea it prevents the fungi & molds that cause damping off.

My children - five, three and two years old will sit and watch your entire videos. I can't hold their attention for more than 15 seconds.

As an amateur herbalist living in South Africa, I just loved this video. Thank you so much.

oregano is awesome for sore throats. You can use fresh or dry step it on hot water and gargle with it. It has phytonutrients (thymol and carvacrol), which fight infections such as staph. It's loaded with antioxidants that help prevent cell damage, and it's an excellent source of fiber, vitamin K, manganese, iron, vitamin E, tryptophan and calcium.

I am basically retired, (I'll be 69 Nov.30th)....my last day being Dec.31,2022. However, I am home until then recuperating from knee replacement until then. I am now getting excited to be able to enjoy baking, cooking, vegetable gardening, soap making, etc. I came across your website recently, learning about sour dough starters and baking. I love the abundance of information and classes I have found on your site. You are now my go to cooking site and I am sure I will be spending less money with all of your tips and my husband and family will eat much healthier now that I will have time. My mother is of Italian heritage, and my Dad Irish English, and we always had a vegetable garden growing up, and I learned to can vegetables with my mother and make our own sauce.I like to cook, bake, etc. but work has always gotten in the way. We normally have a large veggie garden, and I became interested in herbs,both culinary and medicinal many years ago. After marriage in "76" we moved to 6 acres in NW New Jersey, in "86"where we raised chickens, and other farm animals, and we all benefitted . My kid's grew up with them, and I was lucky to be a stay at home, homemaker for 12 years before working FT. The books that got me started with my interest in herbs was Rodales Illustraded Encyclopeadia of Herbs, and also, and Garden way, Joy of Gardening by Dick Raymond, and Garden Way's, Joy of Cooking with Janet Ballantyne which I still refer to when needed. I am using my recuperation time, to plan my eat n store garden for next year, an want to have a culinary and medicinal garden. I am wondering if you have any tips for planning your herbal gardens. I'm sure many people would be interested:)

For some reason, I can play this lady's hour-long videos and just keep it playing while I relax. I guess I enjoy just listening to her speak. Mary's got a very soothing and sweet voice ➿ 😇 and she also offers great teaching on many good food-related topics, including integrative medicine & herbal remedies! 💐

I’ve taken at least three herbal classes from Rosemary Gladstar years ago when she lived in Sonoma County!

Mary - thank you so much for reminding people about the allergies. Once I went to an herb store and opened up a jar of dried yarrow - dust came out on my face as I leaned in to smell it. By the time I got up to the cash register, I had welts all over my face. I didn't know it was a very allergic herb. So thank you for that reminder! We all want to be "natural" - but sometimes, even natural can sting! I appreciate your videos very much.

Bless you so much for asking people to let us know if they start taking other supplements/herbs! It’s hard sometime as a doctor when we are flying blind without the knowledge of what people are using because they don’t tell us. Always willing to read studies from a patient about something they want to try, gotta keep learning

Thank you for mentioning possible allergic reactions. Chamomile teas are touted as calming. It's not very calming when your throat closes up. That happened to me twice in one night. Very scary. Doctor told me it's an accumulative effect and the next time could be life threatening. So thank you for warning people. :)

Thank you precious Mary! We so love you! Our Father God knew exactly what he was doing. He thought of everything! He provided everything we needed from the very beginning of creation! Thank you Lord! 🙌🏼🌱🪴🌱

You have a way to hold a person's interest in whatever you are discussing, thank you very much.

You, Melissa Norris, and Carolyn Thomas have collectively inspired me to grow my own cottage garden this year along with my husband’s half acre garden. I’m so excited! Thank you for the information about chamomile. It was especially helpful as my daughter has allergies and it seems she should not drink chamomile tea. Also, I did not know that it was helpful for aches and pains. Perfect for the achey joints working on the homestead all day!

Lost my mom in my 30s & had an older friend, an Italian lady, who grew up in Italy during the hardships of WW2. I adopted her as my mom, I needed one. You remind me of Mama Licia, Mary. She was a treasure to me.

I taught my kids about herbs. When we lived in Sweden 1 hour away from a hospital my son cut his finger deep almost to the bone with a knife he was making in his blacksmith shop. He called me to get him to the hospital. In the mean time he went in the field got some yarrow. Chew it up and spit it out on his bleeding cut and wrapped it. When we got to the hospital the bleeding had stopped and the wound had closed up a great deal. We told the doc what we had done and the doc said impossible. It must had been a shallow cut because wounds don't close up like that. Well it did close up and thanks to me teaching him about herbs I believe it was a God send

God gave herbs as best for healing our diseases we just need how to use them so I thank you Mary for taking the time to share your knowledge to the world 👌🙏

I love that you mention the library. The most amazing resource that so many overlook ♥️📖

i make my own komucha and i add fresh grown lavender, chamomile and lemon balm to the 2nd ferment...DELICIOUS!

So glad you are doing this series - important information. I hope you will talk about Tulsi (Holy Basil) next. I'm in love with this plant. A super pollinator attractant, smells divine, tea is so good, and finally, here in FL we have tons of mosquitoes. My grandkids came in one day with large red welts and itching like crazy as they had been fishing and got bitten way more than fish. LOL They said don't you have something in your garden to help? I looked on-line and found that Holy Basil would work as a poultice. I had my granddaughter chew some of the leaves and then put a dab of the mush onto each welt. She laid down and in less than 15 minutes, I uncovered the welt and washed off the poultice - no sign of any welt and the itching had stopped and never returned! We tried in on my grandson next who was only 3. It did the same for him. I won't be without Tulsi in my garden ever again. (It also self sows easily.) I hadn't known about the elecampane and will be looking into that one next. Thanks again and I'm very happy to hear there will be more like this one.

Would be helpful to show a picture of each plant as you talk. Thank you! Very helpful information 🥰

I just love your videos Mary! So glad you are now going to do some on herbs and home remedies. Thank you!

I would so love to just sit in your kitchen and learn from you Mary, who needs Uni with teachers like you. Your the Proverbs 31 lady, seeing well to her household. God Bless you and your household for sharing your wealth of information. Diana NZ

Each one of your videos is an entire class. You are so wonderful to share your knowledge with us so graciously!

You are who I aspire to be when I grow up! 😍 Thank you for all that you do! Praying for many blessings to come your way ❤️

Just stopped by to say hello to Mary and others. God bless you, Mary.

Great video!! I grow everything you mentioned! I must recommend adding stinging nettle to your list regardless of how invasive it can be . There are easy ways to contain it and prevent it from spreading everywhere :) All the health benefits are incredible including helping with hay fever and it makes a great tea fertilizer for your garden as well :) God Bless

I like how you do your description box. I’ve been watching you a lot since I found you. I feel like I’m getting a useful education about all kinds of things! Thank you Mary❤️

Hello Mary! One friend from Massachusetts here still admiring and appreciating your wonderful videos! Wanted to say thank you for all of your sharing and wisdom! So nice to have a positive, educated person to look up to! God bless you and your family.

In Japan, we have herbal medicine covered by your health care system. It really works. For example when I go hiking I always take herbal medicine which will fix my muscle cramps within one minute. In western nations, it is not common yet. However, I am pretty sure your China town has many experts.

Mary is the best and so is her music!

As someone just starting to look into all of this, thank you so much for all the extra info beyond just what the herbs are. You did a ton to answer a lot of the starting questions I had!

This is perfect Mary. I’ll be starting my medicinal her garden with these herbs!

I've been growing elencampain for a couple years now, beautiful plant

I have been studying herbalism for a few years! Love that you are incorporating herbs on your channel. Very interesting!

Watching Mary’s videos is not only informative but also so soothing to the heart and soul. I truly enjoy your content, Mary. Thank you for all the wisdom and for your energy. 🙏✨

Hi I just found your channel. I’m so happy. I’ve been into essential oils and herbs for a while now. Only problem is I spend a lot buying them. I want to thank you so much for helping others be able to make them themselves! Not only saving money , it’s a beautiful lifestyle as well as a calming thing to do for your soul. Love, love, love this channel. You are a god sent to me. I have the worst spasms in my chest and I’m tired of my doctor not knowing what to do. Or gives me things that actually don’t work or make my conditions worse. The beauty of this is how you don’t need to keep purchasing seeds . Can you tell me what kind of dirt , pots, water that you use? I’m going to start my herbal garden this spring Thank you again 😇😘😍

I found some Lavender and Rosemary at a park in October, and I picked about a handful of both and I infused some salt with it.

My gosh, thank you so much for making this video, I am working on learning as much as I can about herbs, and this will be so incredibly helpful.

I’m so excited for this upcoming series! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Mary! 🌿💚

Solid advice, Mary!! Always nice to hear from you!

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us!

I have that book, Medicinal Herbs. fantastic!! This year I will be adding to my garden, so far I have, sage, parsley, oregano, chamomile, lavender, thyme, Hyssop. I am in zone 6 all these herbs grow just fine. I forgot about my Rosemary and my Mint.

I appreciate how you said go to the library first and you don't seem to be selling anything. Rather just sharing your knowledge. I also like your energy. Was easy to watch a long video about only ten herbs. It wasn't boring or rushed. I learn better when I write down what I'm hearing and I only paused twice because again you don't speak too fast which drives me crazy. So all in all I subscribed to your channel based on this video alone. Thank you.

Thank you for suggesting to check out our libraries before buying any books! ❤ I needed that helpful reminder!

I live in Zone 3/4 and peppermint does really well in my yard. It's taken over one of my flower patches. The smell is very nice!

This is very helpful! I like that you talk about Rosemary being from VT because I am from there as well. My zone is not zone 3 but 4. The weather has changed depending on a dry summer like last year hopefully this year will be less dry.

I have binged watched 3 of your medicinal herb videos this morning!!! Learning so much!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Mary thank you so much for this video! I'm going to start an herb garden this spring and I appreciate this information ♡

I also highly recommend Strictly Medicinals for seeds, roots, and plants, tinctures, etc.

I've just discovered your channel and love it! I once watered my garden with water from the river and the next season I had the most wonderful mint garden - yes there is wild mint growing on the riverbank - must have picked up some roots..... living in France.

I am so happy I have found your channel Mary. You are a wealth of information, and I thank you. God bless

I truly appreciate your professional demeanor PLUS the time stamps. BRAVO!

Oooh! This is a series I am VERY interested in! Thank you for sharing this

I’m only 13 minutes into the video and you’ve loaded us with knowledge!

Calendula, Chamomile, Echinacea, Elecampane, English Lavender, Lemon Balm, Marsh Mallow, Peppermint, Lemon Thyme, Yarrow. Thank you Mary...you are so good.

I have Rosemary Gladstone’s book and need to spend more time in it. This video is SO helpful. I’ve watched twice now and made a list of herbs from it (I had just 3). It’s helped me be motivated to find more space for herbs so the monkey grass on the south side of the patio is getting tossed and being replaced with as many as will fit there. Thank you for teaching us. ❤

The explanation about growing zones was fantastic & beneficial for new learners. And a great review for we oldies! I've been working the past couple years to expand my kitchen garden. Thanks for good info & suggestions.

I live in 3a zone and the mints (peppermint and spearmint) go crazy in my garden. Only ones I have not been able to get to grow/regrow here are the lemon balm, marshmallow root, lavender, and chamomile planted in my herbal garden. I also grow mullein. In my area a lot of medicinal plants are considered noxious weeds. The culinary herbs I just keep in pots that I bring inside come fall. I love watching your channel. I learn something every time 🥰

Your description box was very helpful to create an outline as I listened. Thanks for going through the trouble. Glad I found you.

What a relief it is to listen to your voice, Mary.. God bless you.. Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬

Thank you Mary! Your a Gem!!

I always heard of elecampane for lungs, as expectorant, decongestant, and for asthma. I see that nervine [sedative] properties valuable for asthma for sure.

Thank you for helping other people find help and healing with our natural surroundings. I’m a native Mexican herbalist, so happy to see you here. I also have St. Lorenzo as my assistant. God Bless you always.

Namaste, you have inspired me, I send you energy to share your love to the many that need it.

Hi from London England sweet Mary. Spring is in the air and the days are getting longer, and you have inspired me to get planting. You really are a star!

A client brought me lemon and lavender bread. It was really good. I haven't yet tried to replicate it

I love Germany so many wonderful people. I visited in 2014 to the state of Hesse. I flew into Dusseldorf and took train the Ice to Kassel. It was my first time to go overseas from USA. It was beautiful seeing the sun in back of me going into the night of Europe. I felt like I was in outer space and I got that photo with my camera out of the airplane window. I met my friends online and was invited to come to Germany for two weeks. I can understand how you feel about traveling and seeing different people in different places. Reading and watching a video about it is so different than actually being there. I am happy you well and are creating new memories for the future. I'm happy that I found your site and watching you roaming around Germany. Reminding me of my time there.

Your knowledge of these herbs is outstanding! Thank you for sharing!

I'm so glad that I have stumbled onto your channel, you're such a gentle soul & so so easy to listen to. I've recently decided to add an array of herbs to our permiculture garden & am really getting into herbal remedies. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Keep up the great word, greetings from Oz & God bless. 💛

Thanks for another fantastic video, Mary!!

I put this on as background noise to wind down for bed (neurodivergent- helps me focus and retain the information at times). I cant wait to circle back and take notes... so informative!! but more than that... you are so sweet, and soothing to listen to. your kitchen feels cozy like a home i never had. the stories and anecdotes are the cherry on top.

I'm soooo happy I found your channel!! I love your style and the time you took informing us on lots of valuable information.

Mary, thanks so much for all the info on herbs. You are a great teacher.

A big fan of herbs never thought of growing them myself. Thank You for sharing.😊

God bless you Mary! You're amazing!

I’m grateful to have a long video that doesn’t oversimplify the complicated subject of medicinal herbs. I prefer thorough information that acknowledges the complex nature of the topic and keeps encouraging research and caution. The fact that you are sharing what you actually do yourself is invaluable. The short videos that makes medicine seem like a panacea, ignores our bodies are unique, and expects you to do what you are told without research are DANGEROUS. Many people just make a list of random herbs and make it seem like they will help you with EVERYTHING without giving SPECIFIC information. At best THRY are passing on rumors and things they haven’t researched. At worst it’s click bait. Either way it’s clear they are uninformed. It’s hard finding someone who has done research. Some even say things that make it clear they have no first hand knowledge of the things they are saying YOU have to do. If your videos were shorter they wouldn’t be as informative. Plus you’re entertaining. The passion you have for food and health is obvious. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Your thoughtful, rational approach is appreciated beyond words. I can understand wanting simple easy advice, but I care more about having information that makes sense I can research further. The easier sounding advice is often illogical and even HARMFUL. It’s like the grocery store that’s on my block. It seems convenient until I remember the problems I have finding FRESH produce thst isn’t more expensive than places like Whole Foods. Just because something is more readily assessable, doesn’t mean it’s a better option. However for those that want simpler shorter videos, there are more of those kinds of videos than there are well thought out, in depth videos like these. Feel free to check them out, look for articles where you can go straight for the information, or use the time stamps to go straight to that info. Clicking on long videos, ignoring the 90% of short videos, not checking Mary’s website for more concise information, ignoring the time stamps and that you can go straight to the info, and acting like it’s BAD to tell you to exercise caution and consult with your doctor, doesn’t make sense. You’re ignoring all your resources to complain that you clicked onto a video that you can see is long BEFORE you clicked on it. Plus complaining that someone is giving you the science behind MEDICINE and wants you to be careful, goes AGAINST your best interest. Just because oversimplified half truths are the norm, doesn’t change the fact it’s up to us to use caution and critical thinking to find what’s best for us. Even the best health advice is not helpful to EVERYONE. Asking your doctor about treatments is just what someone who cares about themselves does. It also makes the fact that you clicked on a long video that makes up less than 10% of the videos on this topic, suspicious. It’s like you’re sabotaging yourself and blaming others. Proactive people find information that’s delivered in the way that works best for THEM. They don’t go looking for videos that don’t suit them and complain when they can look for sources of information that’s easier for them to digest. Especially if they are serious about empowering themselves. When they find a source of information that stick with it. They don’t complain that everyone else isn’t the same. VARIETY IS GOOD. CHOICES ARE GOOD. I too dislike videos that spend half the time teasing itself or telling you why you should do something you’re already convinced about. I ignore them and use what I don’t like about them to be clearer on what I DO want. I’ve left comments but it’s for the exact OPPOSITE reason some complained about these videos. Not explaining why I NEED these herbs, what they are supposed to do, most don’t mention the science. Too many expect you throw caution to the wind and expect you to just do what you’re told by the video or article you happened to click on. However this is NOT one of those videos . Ironically I almost never see complaints about those videos getting to the point sooner, even though the things they talk about are different from what the title says the video is about. Which I find weird. 🤪 God bless you Mary for being YOU. While you make it seem easy to host a channel. I know it isn’t. ❤

You are a beautiful gift and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for your valuable time in sharing this information ❤

Mary, you know so much! Glad I found your channel.💕

I thought there was no way I'd make it through a 50 minute video. But I was very engaged. Love the information delivered with a smile and a laugh!!

Thank you Mary! Very helpful information. You are such a treasure!!

I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I’m glad this video showed up on my suggestions. I’m definitely following

This video was amazing! Thank you! 😍

You are absolutely the most knowledgeable expert on so many subjects! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

East Texas here! Thank you for all this information. I plan on starting a medicinal garden this spring

I grow mint now for my green tea. My kids drink it everyday.

Loved the video and looking forward to the herbal series you mentioned. I would love a video or videos about making herbal teas. Especially including health benefits of various teas and also tasty flavor combinations. Thank you I love this topic.

great intro, thank you. I am a real herb fan and use them all the time. I grow most of my own so I am very lucky.

I've just started watching this video and I'm already loving your voice😍

Great video! You chose a nice array of herbs to spotlight for keeping on hand for general medicinal use, As an herbalist, I feel it's best to focus on herbs that one can either grow, safely forage, or buy as locally as possible--especially any herbs that will be used fairly regularly. There are some wonderful 'exotic' herbs that are useful--but those are often expensive and could become hard to source in certain circumstances. Your list gives us a a good easy-to-grow-or-source variety offering various herbal actions for common ailments. God bless!

Great herb options. Its important for us to know about and grow herbs too. Thanks Mary I love lavender and peppermint😁

This was one if the videos on herbalism I have ever viewed! And my goodness..what an incredible cheery disposition you emanate! Thank you for sharing!💫

I’m a pharmacist trying to plan my medicinal plants and I so appreciate your disclaimer!! Plant medicine can really interact

I'm having my adult daughter drink yarrow tea for some menstrual issues she's having. Im glad to see it was on your list. I am heading to bed but look forward to watching your entire video as I want to try my hand at some medicinal herb gardening this year. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the information on Elecampane. I bought a start last spring from someone selling their extra plant starts that had volunteered in their garden. I bought one each of all the medicinal herbs she had, but knew nothing about it.

Your pharmacist is an excellent resource, for advice about interactions between any medications you take, and foods, herbs, etc. Pharmacists are the medication experts, and may be more accessible than your primary care provider!
