Woodland Herbal Part 4 Willow Bark and Mint Decoction

[dutchweeks1]

Is the bark of any willow okay to use?and which is best?

[mrjimbobjenkins]

can you put aloe in the decoction too?

[bigaxe87]

cool video ive used this alot for headaches and cramps,for cramps i put orange zest in the decoction it works great.thanx for the vid maybe if enuff people watch your videos the world wont be quite as stupid :)

[nedeljkomostar]

I will never suggest mint boiling especially two times (decoction)! It can go bad on you stomach... can cause stomach ache. Instead, best mint tea "against" stomach ache ( I have been using it for years along with kalamath weed ) you will make it if you boil the water, take it off from the fire and soak it fresh green or dried up mint leaves, and not to keep it there longer then 3 minutes. Willow bark can have bad taste but it is better to use it as is without adding mint.

[DizturbedHellbilly04]

Does it matter what kind of mint or willow bark is used?

[woodswoman783]

Listen to that thrush in the background there-beautiful. Good vid

[mach352]

does it mater what tipe of mint you yuse?

[grymmtymm]

that intros volume is almost 3x the volume of the video itself, ouch

[gardogg65]

actually I disagree I think its fine

[grymmtymm]

good for you

[captaincoolness55]

can you give us a really detailed description of how to identify a willow tree? great vid!

[chrissept21]

how did that taste for you dave

id like to try that out some time

[BLuser01]

Dave any idea about dosage?

[littletobykeith]

and great video

[littletobykeith]

any way to yous willow bark thats not just for hedaks

[widgeonslayer]

It will work for most minor pains, Willow contains the same chemical as Aspirin. If I remember right Aspirin was originally developed from willow abstracts .

[Brethrenunited]

very cool, how did it work? i also heard that you can chew theinner bark of the white willow for a head ache. something ya may wanna try some time as well.

[MtnManSam]

Can you make a large batch of this to store for later use? In a glass jar or bottle, for instance?

[MtnManSam]

I guess what I'm really asking is how well does it keep? Any idea on shelf life?

[godsend420]

a head ache from not starting a fire or just wanted to use the wet / dry cube? is it yummyness ?

[wildernessoutfitters]

Headache from too much thinking!

[factorywolf]

Ok seriously man I really look forward to your videos and enjoy watching them you seem to have a natural way of teaching people about wilderness and survival and I learn a lot from these videos so thank you again and please keep them coming...

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

One more question...did it work?

[Foxer604]

Yeah! - first question i was thinking! :)

Did it work and if so, how well and how long did it take?

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't birch bark have the same ability to relieve headaches?

[sam78438297]
