I live in the boreal forest and I should have said that in my video, as what is here may not be applicable where you live

Hello from Cleveland Ohio! I just came across this video (and your channel) when I was looking up 'how to make Dandelion salve'. This video was the only video I scrolled through and wanted to watch. Video was paused half way so that I could look up your channel profile, I then subscribed immediately. I know I will learn so much from your videos! Thank you!❤ I will next look to see if you have Dandelion salve video 🤞😊

Made a comfrey, plantain, rosemary, spearmint salve with coconut oil, castor oil & olive oil. Have been massaging extremely painful cramping & burning feet! Good deep rub, sometimes in front of heat to aid absorption!Makes all the difference in being able to sleep & greatly aids nerve damaged areas ❤💪❤️

Are you using solid coconut oil or liquid

@cristineconnell7803 2 ай бұрын

@@sallymccreary4086 Depends on temperature of it! If it coolls down in the room, it is more solid! Has been 70-80° F here, so it has been mainly liquid the last few days! I warmed it just enough to mix. But also used a lil olive oil & castor oil. I keep a small baby spoon by the jar in case it's more liquid!

You have saved me from making a big mistake. I was going to add blueberries to our growing group of fruit bushes and trees. Definitely do not need any biting insects.

I blueberry picked hundreds of pounds of blueberries for summer hobs for years. I was never bit by any bugs while I did it. I think she is discussing what we call no see ems and black flies. They both bite and May be in your fields but blueberries are pollinated by bumble bees and most blueberry farms bring in rented hives for the season.

@cindysquirrelloffgrid9514 2 ай бұрын

yes I am talking about the no see ems, I live in the boreal forest and I guess I should explain that that is what pollinates them here, not everywhere

I didn’t know that about black flies. I figured the birds and bats need to eat them to survive so we tolerate them.
