Chicory and Mullein: Uncovering the Benefits of Unique Plants on the Podcast - 2GH Coffee and Conversation

Let's talk about weeds


In this episode of the Homestead Podcast, co-hosts Carol and
Jamie discuss their busy schedules and lack of time for research.
They mention their ongoing exploration of homemade lotions and
potions but decide to hold off on sharing until they have
mastered what they are working on.


They also talk about drying herbs, including lemon balm and
oregano, but note that they have personal preferences on which
herbs they can handle due to their strong scents. Jamie shares
her experience with drinking lemon tea, which she found to be
refreshing and beneficial for various health concerns. Carol asks
about dandelion tea, which Jamie explains can be bitter but is
believed to have diuretic properties.


They touch on the cost and reluctance to visit the doctor,
highlighting the use of herbal books as alternatives for
self-care.


Carol discusses the herbs plantain, lemon balm and the Mullein
plant. Carol ordered "the Lost Book of Herbs" so
she can quit bothering Jamie to look up stuff for her.
