I was that odd child, always picking wild flowers and exploring the woods around my home, we had a public playground and a pond behind my house and my friends abandoned me more then once to go play. My first plant calling were very fragrant blue violets by the stream in the woods, it was like David said, they tried to get my attention, I was 5. Then at age 7 a hedgerow of rosehip on a wall seemed to just beg for attention, girlfriend left and I picked rosehip for my mom. Later in life, my thirties, I kept riding my horse past these shrubs that just glowed at me , couldn't figure out if it was a rose or an apple, that plant later in life got rid of my bloodpressure medications, hawthorn. Now in my 60s, have been watching this little plant in my yard, trying to draw my attention for years, always fondly thought of it as a pollinators plant, took me a while to figure out, then it helped me through a viral infection, heal all or self heal. Seems like when you need something you can almost always find it nearby.

I could listen for hours, what a wonderful teacher. He brought back some powerful memories. My grandfather used to take me to a big red ant hill that he would bury his arthritic hands in, smelled like sulfur when those ants got riled up, he swore it helped his arthritis. Probably similar stimulation as with bee venom or stinging nettle.

Oh yes, I'm not even that versed in herbs, but when I started paying attention to plants, I've been literally called to a shrub or a plant that turned out to be very helpful. All they need is our curiosity and respect, they'll teach us what we need to do.

I was a loner as a kid too and only happy in nature, we could've been friends, not many wanted to hang out with me and I was too shy to approach them. Isn't it amazing what God has given us in His boundless love for us? I own Rosemary's book(s) now am going to get Davids, thank-you David for your generosity.

Thank you so much Rosalee for introducing me to David Winston. What a lovely person and wonderful teacher. Those stories will stay with me always. So many of the things he says resonated with me very much. I'm still an intuitive and self taught herbalist and now in my late forties I am seriously thinking about taking my studies to the next level. Will be looking into that course next year... I personally have had a 30 year love affair with nettles. Now I am intrigued to make more things with the nettle seeds other than just using them like chia seeds. My heart is full right now...brimming over with gratitude 🙏✨️

I got my own funny story about nettle. One fall I bought a blueberry twig and planted it. In the spring I checked it to see if it survived. I saw pretty little leaves and stems so I transplanted them into pots so I could have multiple blueberries. When they got a little bigger I quickly found them painful to touch. I had transplanted many nettles. I wish now I had kept them.

Loving this great information. He's so full of great knowledge. I'm only halfway through the video, you may mention this at some point. It's not just complex herb combinations to help and heal..... people have got to stop consuming the "poison" (in my opinion) from the local grocery store as well. Sometimes I struggle with that part of healing.

@HerbsWithRosalee Жыл бұрын
It is technically gluten free. However there are two issues. Oats are commonly processed in facilities that also process wheat. This isn't often the case with oatstraw though. And some people who react to gluten react to similar proteins in oats. But, that being said, I know a lot of people who avoid gluten but do fine with oat straw.
