Crazy that we spend billions killing plants our ancestors used as medicine for centuries.

A weed is just a plant whose virtues haven't been discovered yet. The Good Lord provided natural antibiotics right in our own backyards. Time to put down the chemical weedkiller and pick up the Good Book!

Many Europeans know these. I grew up in Switzerland. Mom used these as tea’s, salads etc. watching this is like watching my past. All these plants look very familiar and there are many more plants not shown. My sister in law used to go harvest these. She was a regular wizard. When you go hiking with her it is like going on a botany journey.

Do your own research folks. This is a good place to begin but it shouldn’t be your gospel.

The industrialization of medicine did many things well. But one of the things it quietly dismantled was the human being's confidence in their own body and their own relationship with nature. Channels like this one help rebuild that confidence — not by rejecting modern medicine, but by restoring the knowledge that was never supposed to disappear in the first place.
