[OMAIMHREEM]

Hi Guys , Do u know any plants can help us to protect from electromagnetic frequency ?

tq

[willowrosecottage]

Thank you for getting the word out about wonderful plantain! I make a plantain/calendula ointment that I use for just about anything that troubles skin. :) In addition to cuts and scrapes, bug bites and stings, it is also good for minor burns, eczema, chapped skin, cracked lips, and amazingly, even for helping splinters work their way out.

[mrsvinarich26]

bahhhhhh bitter but mingles well with wood sorrel



[luckyfire3]

Plantain taste kinda funny.

[Ikefis]

Thanks for the effort. Great!

[yourroaddog]

Wow the vein thing was awesome. thanks

[angelsaura1]

Cool and interesting video....thanks for your time....

[DemonHide]

My li'l backyard place is plantain heaven. They grow a lot, and they grow big. Lucky me, I suppose.

[trewdq2]

can you imagine a fish being like"guys i think i just saw god. i took a bite of food and felt a tremendous pain and he told me it wasn't my time yet" LOL

[sbhuiyan]

Plantains are a delicious addition to salads. They have a mushroom flavor. Plantains grow just about everywhere in the Northeast and guys make sure you don't eat plantains near the sidewalk. Cutlerylover can you please upload more useful plant videos? That would be great.

[okpapereat]

at my house i grow peppermint and when i make tea out of it in the summer its feels cool and breazing but i dont know what else is good for if you have any answers please reply

[Joshyboyz22]

nice video

[jfreesprt]

Plantain, broadleaf and lanceleaf, are my most favorite medicinal plants. I use them for insect bites, bee stings, anything that itches and burns. They are a natural wonder.

[dreamthinker79]

btw, im not a vegan, or an animal rights activist, i could give two toots of a honkys putute about what others do. I like my styrofoam trays of various "slave raised" critters

[dreamthinker79]

personaly, to me catch and release is too mean to the fish...it can't be pleasant for them...imagine being in the park, just walkin around, and and this hook flies out of nowhere, gets you by the lip, and drags you underwater, or into space a bit, but you can't breath, and this strange thing, is touchin you all over, etc, then just tosses you back, its dang near an afterlife experience, so i only fish when my torment has a purpose

[waypasthadenough]

I'm going to enjoy fishing for "Liberals."

Don't understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first. Then share and prepare.

[skatman572]

hey im gona use it and plant it in a pot and ummmm like use it when i fall on the sidewalk

[runescape44411]

lol I'm gonna wait for spring or summer and I'm gonna eat one in front of my mom

[EatTheWeeds]

Good video. When I was a kid I got a bee sting on my wrist and my father chewed up an old plantago major leaf and slapped it on the sting. God I was shocked but the stinging stopped. The mentioning of the two threads is excellent. Plantains are good in salads when young or as a potherb. Oh, and a kind thank you for the plug....

[Kershawknifelover]

I didn't know you could eat them, sweet, if i run out of things for my salad then i can sub these.

[nicanicabad]

They are called Broad Leaf and Narrow Leaf Plaintain and are indidginous to Europe but have taken over the US-have sticky seeds that came on clothing. Wwould you please please please do a dandelion video?? BTW I just found you by someone being subbed to you- called White Man's Foot 'cause the white man brought it.

Anway, I pick lots of dandelions for my chickens and want to know which are edible for people-so many kinds.

ps-that was a poor specimen of pantain-they get huge and dark green.

[cutlerylover]

yes your right, I made this video very early in the season when they were just popping through the ground, when they are young like this they are more edible than when they get biggger, so I chose to show ti at this point, as far as I know ALL dandelions are edible, the whole thgin, leaves and stems and flowers as well as the root, check this info with another sourse, a guy names green dean here on youtube knows everythguin about edible plants, ask him, his screen anem is eattheweeds...

[nicanicabad]

AH finally someone who inverts letters as I do--and I do not know why I do it-but it's a serious problem I have. Thanks so much for this reply-I'll surely be enjoying your channel!

[cutlerylover]

Thanks...

[epiphanygal]

Thanks for this video! I often wondered what the deer were eating in my backyard. So I went out back yesterday and found this growing in various areas of my yard where the deer normally graze and wondered about it. Then voila, I came across your video. Very helpful!

[cutlerylover]

haha your welcome, I mena the deer eat alot of stuff, grass probably included but Im sure they also much on this as well...

[guyglowmore1]

yes, burdock. thanks, think i will

[guyglowmore1]

not mullein. have lotsa that some giants. the insects and some birds really like them. i think the plant i'm referring to is some kind of dock because it looks that way when green but gets this dark reddish brown later and lasts a long time. a local elder pointed it out to me decades ago and called it white mans footprint. much taller than plantain, usually about 3 to 4 feet and full of seeds. anything's better than star thistle.

[cutlerylover]

Burdock? I remember the name but can't picture the plant...edible and medicinal wild pants are still a new hobbyf or me which I ahve not had time to really look into yet but I do find it very interesting, if you have not already subscribed or seen his video do check out "greendean" here on youtube, hes got some great vids!!!!!!!

[guyglowmore1]

i have so much plantain mixed with other wild things but have to weedeat most of it every year to satisfy stupid forestry requirements in my area (100' fire clearance). every time i do it grows back until late summer. as far as white man's footprint, i thought those tall brown (dead) roadside plants were called that but don't know it's other names. thanks for sharing. important stuff. food, not lawns

[cutlerylover]

haha yup, what I think your thinkign of by those big plants roadside are dead mullein plants...mullein was used my the indians for curing lung problems I have read they actually smoked the dried out yellow flowers from the tip of the stalk, also the main stalk can be used as a hand drill part for primitive fire making and the leaves when green are about the best thing you cnas find in the woods to wipe yourself with...natures toliet paper, hahahha...

[Beastinfection77]

nice video very educational hope you make more in your spare time!

[cutlerylover]

Thanks, I hope to in the future, I have SOOOO much I want to film, lol...

[tmib92]

i think its kind of strange but i have seen the plantain weed grows through the asphalt, maybe sidewalk/pavement or how the definition is, how could it be!? :D

[cutlerylover]

Your probably right, this stuff gorws out of cracks in pavement as well! Although on a sidewalk bya road is not the kind you want to put in your mouth to use, because there is most likely fragments of rubber and gas on it...but yeah thats VERY posible you saw it there, it happens al the time...this stuff is a weed and will grow anywhere, lol...

[slingninja82]

awesome video, so do u think if i go outside right now i can go and eat the top yellow part of the dandelion and i will be safe??

please reply

[cutlerylover]

It depends, in a perfect world yes, but you ahve to take into consideration polution...make sure that noone has sprayed weed killer on your lawn, or than any animal droppings or urine isa on it (hard to tell sometimes) So theoredically, yes you cna eat the tops as long as they are clean and free of chemicals, a common way to eat them is to dip them in batter and fry them in a pan like fritters...you can use pancake batter if you want them a bit sweet...

[cutlerylover]

But before you take my word for it, please do a bit more research, I know dandelions are 100% fine to eat, but who knows if your goign to be alletgic to it, you know...So I dont want to tell you to eact them...its up to you...

[slingninja82]

k, do u think if i boil these plants in water they are safe to eat? even if they are infected by some of those things u said?

[cutlerylover]

Well I think boiling the heads in water might make them taste wierd, but washign the leaves off and boilign them might be a good idea, the heads for the most part should be fine, just look at them closely to amke sure there is nothgin on them...Most people just pop them off and eat them raw right there, but I heard its a tiny bit bitter, and aftyer trying it myself they are...

[cutlerylover]

for me, I just like the use the yellow pedals in batter to amke fritters, or use the whole heads, so you get the taste of the flower, but its sweet, not bitter...

Do a search for dandelions here on youtube there are others much more knowledgeable than I, look up a guys videos who goes by the anme "green dean" He really knows his plants! Maybe send him a message....

[cmcsox]

how about pot..lol;)

[cutlerylover]

did that, nothgi special, lol, that was back in the day when I was young and dumb...But I figured it was better to smoke my own stuff then worry about smoking who knows what when you buy it...but in case any was wondering, I have not smoked in years, I don't even drink...Nope, just enjoying life as is...

[cmcsox]

ya i here that.. i was kidding:p

[cutlerylover]

I know, lol...

[cmcsox]

cool

[cutlerylover]

Well I didn't know for sure, but I figured, lol...

[cmcsox]

when do you think you will do a balisong video?????

[FabioCrow07770]

Lot of people Starve to death when lost in the wild because They have idea that they could eat a lot of the things around them. Like Pine Needles,roots...ect. Great video

[cutlerylover]

Thanks! Your right, but you cna eat pine needles, lol, they are very high in viatamin C and they make a great tea...But I know you were just using it as an example...

[FabioCrow07770]

yep,I Love The Discovery Channel =P

[cutlerylover]

Me too! but I learned that from a book on wild edibles...lol...

[miro44one]

Ah..this is really great, thank you for the informative video.If you decide on making another one on edible/medicinal plants, that would be really cool.

[cutlerylover]

your welcome! I might do another one or 2 in the future...

[dsmith308]

That is the broadleaf plantain. The one with the skinnier leaves you mentioned is the buckhorn plantain.

[cutlerylover]

oh ok, very good post, thansk for the info, I appreciate it, I knew one was the broadleaf, but wasn't sure if this was it, lol...Tanks again!

[atrisk1]
