You guys give me hope in growing my apothecary. So jealous of all your jars and labeling. It is amazing from when you first started it to what it has grown into. You are a blessing to us all . God is so good.

I did not realize this tree grows in the US... I love watching you two and learning so much... I'm usually a silent viewer but just thought I'd let yoy both know you are awesome💞and I appreciate you!

What a blessing to have beautiful ginko trees growing in your region! I haven’t tried ginko for many years, but now that I am older I am going to try it again, thank you for the reminder. I live in northern Alberta, Canada, and it is already so dark by 5 pm, and I find myself affected by the lack of daylight more as I get older. I’ve had success with lion’s mane mushrooms for brain fog, but I am going to try ginko as well. God bless!

🤩OooooAhhh 💖 We have Ginkgo growing in our area ✨ Chinese settled here with the introduction of the railroads... I’ll bet Ginkgo came here along with them... 🤔 now where can I squeeze a Gingko tree in my already stuffed yard... 😂 Love seeing your growing library 📚

Years ago my VA aunt had a Ginkgo Biloba tree growing in her yard (Tidewater). She was growing it because she appeared to have the beginning stages of dementia...to my knowledge she never used it as tea or any any type of medication...sad because it might have helped her. It was a beautiful tree and the leaves were so interesting.

Washington State has a petrified ginkgo forest. I hadn't thought to grow one because I have such a small yard. It seems like they are really hardy and used to grow here. I will pursue this more.

My son- in love and I have a couple in large pots in the Willamette Valley - fossilized Ginkgo (and dawn redwood!) Gabe been found over on the John Day fossil beds

We have several older Ginko trees in our neighborhood here in North Georgia! They are glorious every Fall!!

Thank you for giving Ginkgo the love it deserves. When I was a kid we had a property here in Argentina with a 100 years old ginkgo in it, it was the best thing of the property, so majestic and beautifull. I was 7, and at my 40s I still remember it. Sadly the people who bought the house took it down, but made me love that ancient tree. I read that one of the reasons why it{s called "The tree of life", it´s because when Horoshima bombing happened, the only few trees that survived were Ginkgos.

Yes I hear ya about the time change😴 it always wipes me out for a week. Love what yer sharing 🙏🙌

My Mom broke her leg and was given lots of drugs and then followed the “Virus” so her mind was not good. I gave her ginkgo three times a day (tincture) and her brain fog started to clear. It is essential for her and she is still using it. Nothing helps as much and we have tried a lot of others as well. I do understand it is a bit of a blood thinner so we keep that in mind.

I love ginkgo trees! When I lived in San Jose CA. There was a street near my home that had ginkgo on both sides for a couple of blocks. When the leaves were falling, I loved driving down that street. It was like being in a boat that created beautiful gold waves. I would love to be able to take ginkgo for the memory aspects, but I am one of those people who are naturally free-bleeding and tend to bruise whenever I even rub up against something.

I was studying in China for a few month (supposedly a year but covid strikes) and have the opportunity to witness the majestic gingko tree turning yellow and shedding. Although it can be quite an annoyance when there is strong wind and the campus is literally packed with the tree everywhere, on every roadsides within the campus growing for what seems to be only somewhere like 30cm apart from each other.

Thank you beautiful souls for sharing your journey and wisdom 🦚🐝🐞🌻

thanks for the information on the GINKGO tree; have a great day

We used to have gingko trees at my work. I loved it in the fall when they changed. It made the whole parking lot glow with this gorgeous sunny glow!!

I have one in my yard and it is beautiful

We have ginko planted on our public square. How interesting !!!

Ginko is great, we have some in our local park and I always nosh on some leaves when the dog and cat would go on walks with me^^ Love the apothecary setup.

As I was watching this, I’m getting ready to head out to the few ginkgo trees I discovered near my home. Spent a lot of the last 4 years dealing with memory issues from a procedure on a brain tumor (I wish I never had done). Supplements are too pricy and I’ve been moving towards building my own apothecary. Didn’t get a gingko tree in my yard this year like I wanted but foraging will hopefully hold me over until I get one next spring. Thank you both for sharing!

I am so loving all your videos!!!!! You both are such a great inspiration! I look forward to so many more videos and learning experiences!!!! Hoping I may check out the schooling as well!!! Thanks for all you do and teach!!!!

One sting could kill him in less than 30 minutes. So when I'm blessed with my own property I'm definitely going to have to attend a bee's school or whatever it's called because I want to be completely self sastainable.

Thank you, this is so interesting. Is it dry leaves you use for the tincture? I bought some gingko seeds a year ago, and am going to plant them this fall. I live in the middle of Sweden so there's snow and could be frost until mid-late May.

Never heard of that tree. Guess I'll have to research it. I'm in the north west. Southern Idaho

Make sure to put the capsule maker info on your list.

Show how to mix the stuff in your tea.

I have a tree in my yard and I dug up a seedling and potted it in the early spring. It grew 4' over spring and summer. It's sweet little, bright yellow leaves just fell off and the big tree still has a plenty. Do you harvest the leaves when they are yellow or when they still have green on them? I really want to harvest some before it's too late, if it isn't already. Really guess I will need to research what to do with the harvest. I have only made a golden rod tincture so far, but really want to do more. Excited about your website and I really need a good starter book.

Do you make any tinctures with glycerin instead of alcohol?

I have a Ginkgo tree in my backyard. Wondering how you dry them out. Laying each leaf in one layer sounds daunting and I don't think I have the space to dry them that way. What am I missing?

If tinctures need to be storages in amber bottles, why are dried herbs stored in clear bottles?

I found a place that carries the male ginkgo because it doesn't grow fruit which leaves a sticky mess (according to them) but does the male tree have all the medicinal properties? Does the fruit have any? Should I get both and if so where do I find the female tree?

can U make a video about dosage -and how its done ? like if i have a tincture thats been made out of rum or brandy -how do i know what dosage to use? plus -a good topic is about alcohol -is expensive alcohol better than cheaper alcohol ? is glycerine really worth the hype for tincturing? can we use "vegan honey" for making tinctures ? how do we use tinctures in creams and balms?
