Series 2, Lesson 36: Mimosa
In this video, I tell you about the medicinal properties of my favorite flowering tree, Mimosa. It improves mood, helps with anxiety and pain, has antihistamine properties and makes the perfect cocktail! This is the first video of the new series that will utilize better cameras and microphones and will allow me to go out into the woods and field so I can show you how to identify and use medicinal and edible plants. Good things to come!
The Herb Basket, another essential piece of equipment
Today, I show you my herb basket. While you can buy a basket, I think every herbalist should make their own to customize it. I made mine out of pine needles and upholstery thread. The strap, I made from yucca fiber. It is very strong and durable, deep and fits perfectly just below hip level. I'm 6'4', so I could never buy a basket that would fit my size. My herb basket is perfect for me!
