The Amazing uses of St. Johns Wort..... But know your warnings!
Hi Ya'll, thank you for joining me again for another Medicinal Monday. I can fit a few link and Warnings in this area. Please make sure to talk to your physician before taking St. Johns Wort.
Also please check me out on other social media
Website: https://bleighve.com/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bleighve41/
Rumble: https://rumble.com/account/content?type=all
TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bleighve?lang=en
Antidepressants
St. John's wort may interact with medications used to treat depression or other mood disorders, including tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Taking St. John's wort with these medications tends to increase side effects, and could lead to a dangerous condition called serotonin syndrome. DO NOT take St. John's wort with other antidepressants, including:
SSRIs: Citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft)
Tricyclics: Amitriptyline (Elavil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), imipramine (Tofranil)
MAOIs: Phenelzine, (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate)
Nefazodone (Serzone)
Allergy drugs (antihistamines)
St. John's wort may reduce levels of these drugs in the body, making them less effective:
Loratadine (Claritin)
Cetirizine (Zyrtec)
Fexofenadine (Allegra)
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Theoretically, taking St. John's wort along with clopidogrel may increase the risk of bleeding.
Dextromethorphan (cough medicine)
Taking St. John's wort at the same time as dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant found in many over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, can increase the risk of side effects, including serotonin syndrome.
Digoxin
St. John's wort may lower levels of the medication and make it less effective. DO NOT take St. John's wort if you take digoxin.
Drugs that suppress the immune system
St. John's wort can reduce the effectiveness of these medications, which are taken after organ transplant, or to control autoimmune diseases. There have been many reports of cyclosporin blood levels dropping in those with a heart or kidney transplant, even leading to rejection of the transplanted organ.
Adalimumab (Humira)
Azathioprine (Imuran)
Cyclosporine
Etanercept (Enbrel)
Methotrexate
Mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept)
Tacrolimus (Prograf)
Drugs to fight HIV
St. John's wort appears to interact with at least two kinds of medications used to treat HIV and AIDS: protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The Food and Drug Administration recommends that St. John's wort not be used with any type of antiretroviral medication used to treat HIV or AIDS.
Birth control pills
There have been reports of breakthrough bleeding in women on birth control pills who were also taking St. John's wort. It is possible that the herb might make birth control pills less effective, leading to unplanned pregnancies.
Aminolevulinic acid
This medication makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight. St. John's wort also increases skin sensitivity to light. Together, they may have a dangerous impact on skin sensitivity to the sun.
Reserpine
Based on animal studies, St. John's wort may interfere with reserpine's ability to treat high blood pressure.
Sedatives
St. John's wort can increase the effect of drugs that have a sedating effect, including:
Anticonvulsants, such as phenytoin (Dilantin) and valproic acid (Depakote)
Barbiturates
Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium)
Drugs to treat insomnia, such as zolpidem (Ambien), zaleplon (Sonata), eszopiclone (Lunesta), and ramelteon (Rozerem)
Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline (Elavil)
Alcohol
Alprazolam (Xanax)
St. John's wort may speed up the breakdown of Xanax in the body, making it less effective.
Theophylline
St. John's wort can lower levels of this medication in the blood. Theophylline is used to open the airways in people with asthma, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis.
Triptans (used to treat migraines)
St. John's wort can increase the risk of side effects, including serotonin syndrome, when taken with these medications:
Naratriptan (Amerge)
Rizatriptan (Maxalt)
Sumatriptan (Imitrex)
Zolmitriptan (Zomig)
Warfarin (Coumadin)
St. John's wort reduces the effectiveness of warfarin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner).
Other drugs
Because St. John's wort is broken down by certain liver enzymes, it may interact with other drugs that are broken down by the same enzymes. Those drugs may include:
Antifungal drugs, such as ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fluconazole (Diflucan)
Statins (drugs taken to lower cholesterol), including atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), and simvastatin (Zocor)
Imatinib (Gleevac) -- may make Gleevac less effective
Irinotecan (Camptosar) -- may speed up the rate at which Camptosar is broken down by the body, making it less effective
Some calcium channel blockers (taken to lower blood pressure)
Any medication broken down by the liver

Stinging Nettle: It is actually a Pain Killer
Hi, thank you for joining me for another Medicinal Monday. As promised all the information I go into in the video as well as the warning are listed below. Please play attention to the warning. I know we love herbs for everything they can do, but sometimes modern medicine is necessary, and we don't want to be messing around with mixing things together that should not be.
Please check out my other social media below:

Painful muscles and joints
Hay Fever
Eczema
Arthritis
Gout
Anemia
Urinary Issues

Parts Used

root
Dosage
4 g whole dried herb steeped 10 minutes hot water, three to four times daily
770 mg dried extract orally twice daily
770 mg tincture in water or tea
Warning
Antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs (blood thinners)
Stinging nettle may affect the blood's ability to clot, and could interfere with blood-thinning drugs, including:
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Aspirin
Drugs for high blood pressure
Stinging nettle may lower blood pressure, so it could strengthen the effects of these drugs:
ACE inhibitors: Captopril (Capoten), Elaropril (Vasotec), lisinopril (Zestril), fosinopril (Monopril)
Beta-blockers: Atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), propranolol (Induran)
Calcium channel blockers: Nifedipine (Procardia), amlodipine (Norvasc), verapamil (Calan, Isoptin)
Diuretics (water pills)
Because stinging nettle can act as a diuretic, it can increase the effects of these drugs, raising the risk of dehydration:
Furosemide (Lasix)
Hydrocholorothiazide
Drugs for diabetes
Stinging nettle may lower blood sugar, so it could strengthen the effects of these drugs, raising the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Lithium
Stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect and may reduce the body's ability to remove this drug.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
In a scientific study of patients with acute arthritis, stewed stinging nettle leaves enhanced the anti-inflammatory effect of diclofenac, an NSAID. Although this effect can reduce pain, talk to your doctor before taking or using stinging nettle if you also take NSAIDs.

Which I will will be talking about in another video once the small business webstie is up and live and taking orders. But ya'll it is starting to be so pretty.

Hi and Welcome Back!
So by now it is pretty well known that I love all things gothic. So I have been waiting to make these candles since I found the Skull mugs at Halloween. I am using a 50/50 mix of bees wax and coconut oil, as well as a blend of Dragon's Blood and Cedar Scent, with wood wicks.
Please remember I am not a professional candle maker so there could be some mistakes in my method. But please enjoy!

Hi, it is finally time to start pulling together all the garden items, so that in the spring we can plant and watch all the beauties grow.
Granted when I started this I did not have a video camera, and with all the Dental issues I was not really in a place to show my face a lot. I have come a long way and am happy to say so has the garden. All the big hard things are done and we are onto the fun.
This has been a very long process with lots of ups and downs and I will take us through all of it. The one thing I can say, is do not give up even if it seems that it will never work out. Currently my second greenhouse has fallen apart and I am working on a plan to build one from old windows, since the others have not survived. If you put your mind to something you can get it done.

So, we are to the point in our garden build that I FINALLY get to do some fun things with decoration. I know these things will be outside and that they are mainly just for me to look at when I am out there. But I think they will add a nice flare to the garden, and I am also super excited to do a gothic themed garden. I just love that whole aesthetic. Give me spooky year round and I am a happy woman.
