Wannabe Homesteading: Week of July 25th
My goal is to yes, have a homestead, well at least as much as I can have on 2 acres of land. There is a hope and a plan to buy more land, we are just not there yet.
So this is my week all wrapped up into one video. My day starts at 4:30 AM and ends somewhere around 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM (hopefully)
Right now I am working on our garden, since this is our first year here and so many things happened we were not able to have a full garden. I thought documenting this journey would be more fun.
I am also preparing to be doing a Farmer’s Market next year. There is a lot to get done and get planned. Let's do this

Medicinal Herbs: The Smaller Groupings of Active Constituents Part 2
Saponins
https://thenaturopathicherbalist.com/plant-constituents/saponins/#:~:text=In%20plants%20saponins%20are%20found,%E2%80%9Dnatural%20antibiotic%E2%80%9D%20for%20plants.
Saponins in plants are found more often than not in the plant skins where they form their waxy protective barrier, saponins are also part of the plants active immune system, and are basically a natural antibiotic for plants.
Saponins have varied actions when looking at the herbs that they are in. these can include Alterative, Diuretic, expectorant, anti-catarrhal, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, antioxidant, emmenagogue, cardiac stimulant, hormone modulating, hepatoprotective and adrenal adaptogenic effects. They can also decrease blood lipids, lower cancer risks, and lower blood glucose responses
With Saponins there can be side effects so keep these in mind when using herbs that are part of this grouping.
Humans do not normally suffer from severe poisoning from these types of herbs. The Choleterin in our bodies inactivates so that only our mucus membranes are affected. Some of the herbs in this family are poisonous and those are the ones you need to watch out for. Though Saponins can have an irritating effect on mucous membranes and of the respiratory and digestive tract. When treating a cold or flu bug these may not be the best option.
Examples of Saponins: Wild Yam, Chinese or Korean Ginseng, Licorice, Horse Chestnut, Alfalfa, Sarsaparilla, Lily of the Valley.
If you have made it this far in this series of videos you may be starting to notice that a single herb can contain many of the different compounds we have talked about so far. That is why the basics are important especially if you are going to be ingesting these herbs or having family and friends ingest these herbs.
Polysaccharides
https://thenaturopathicherbalist.com/plant-constituents/mucilage/#:~:text=Mucilaginous%20herbs%20derive%20their%20properties,sore%20or%20inflamed%20mucous%20membranes.
SUGAR, All the SUGAR
Yes, all plants contain Polysaccharides and this compound is made up of multiple units of sugar. From where we stand in the Herb Sphere of things the most important part to us is the “Gooey” part of the herb or you can call it mucilages and gums. Gooey seems to just be more fun. These are commonly found in roots, bark, leaves and seeds.
When you place these types of herbs into water, they produce a jelly like mass that can be used to soothe and protect irritated tissue.
The main uses for these in the body are:
Lower bowel Transit Time (Make you poo faster)
Absorb toxins in the Colon
Protect against gastric acidity
Regulate intestinal flora
Relaxes and sooth the endodermal lining of the gut.
Relaxant and antispasmodic to the lungs and the urinary tract
Demulcent & Vulnerary - Basically soothes and protects inflamed or irritated nerve ending in mucous membranes or epithelia (Yes Skin)
It also has a Emollient action externally, thing soap gooey’s
Some examples of these herbs are:
Marshmallow - Yes, what marshmallows used to be made from
Mullein
Slippery Elm (Yup, right there in the name)
Plantain - An herb that most people don’t realize is growing as a weed in their yards
Fenugreek
Comfrey - One of the most widely used herbs because it is so beneficial and works on so many different things but we will get to that later.

Medical Herbs: Active Constituents: Grouping 1
This is video 5, Wow ok, I need to count better
Proanthocyanins (prow·an·thow·sai·a·nuh·dnz)
Proanthocyanins are a chemical compound that give the fruit or flowers of many plants their red, blue or purple colors. The bonus is that it makes plants with this compound easier to spot. Herbs with this compound have higher antioxidant properties. Remember hearing how drinking cranberry juice can clear up a Urinary Tract Infection. Well this is why, Cranberry is one of the plants that is high in this compound.
There is not much out there on this that does not dive so far down the science rabbit hole that it would put most people to sleep. But again, these videos are covering the basics. If you would like to go way down the science rabbit hole I do have links in the description.
Coumarins
https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/48076
Are natural bioactive compounds recognized for their anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, antihypertensive, antituberculosis, anticonvulsant, adtiadipogenc, and antihyperglycemic pharmacological activities, as well as antioxidant and neuroprotective actions.
Wow say that 10 times fast. Ok lets get on with this!
These are a family of benzopyrones widely distributed in nature. They are naturally occurring oxygen containing heterocycles. The herbs and medications in this family tend to have lower side effects and are becoming more widely used.
This compound can be found in seeds, fruits, flowers, roots, leaves, and stems of plants. Herbs that have a higher concentration of this compound are Cinnamon Leaf, Cinnamon Bark, Cassia Leaf, Peppermint, Woodfrul, Lavender, and sweet clover.
Anthraquinones
Are the main active constituents in herbs often used to relieve constipation. They have an irritant or stimulating laxative effect on the large intestine. These are also used for dyes and pigments. Some of the herbs that contain Anthraquinones are Rhubarb Root, Senna Lead and Pod, Cascara, Buckhorn and Aloe (The outer pulp) (Be careful with aloe as there is a tiny bit of poisonous stuff there, that yellow bad smelling stuff when you cut the leaf close to the base, yeah that is not good for you, soak the end in water for about 24 hours and you should be good to go)
Cardiac Glycosides
Found most notably in Foxglove and in lily of the valley cardiac glycosides such as digitoxin, digoxin and convallatoxin have a strong, direct action on the heart. Supporting its strength and rate of contraction when it is failing. These are also extremely diuretic. They will stimulate urine production and that other thing that we do sometimes. What this does is remove excess fluid from the tissues and circulatory systems. However to much can be removed and so please be careful if working with these types of compounds.
This does not mean go out and buy a ton of Fox Glove and Lilly of the Valley and take it in heaping spoonfuls. Foxglove is poisonous, however you would need to use a lot, and there are very few recordings of this, however, better safe than sorry. You are trying to be healthier not sicker.
Cyanogenic Glycosides
https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/52207
Yup you guessed it, this is the compound more commonly known as Cyanide. And there are many plants that contain this in trace amounts. So when you are using plants that do contain this even in trace amount you need to be careful. Have I not mentioned when using herbs that you should be careful, if not let me mention it again please please please be careful.
Ok back to what I was talking about
So herbs that have trace amounts of Cyanide can be used as a muscle relaxant. Such as the bark of wild cherry and the leaves of the elderberry can be used to soothe dry coughs.
Do you have a NurtiBullet? Well, if you do and you have read the booklet that comes with it, then you know that Apple Seeds have a higher concentration of Cyanide and we are not supposed to grind them up, because they can make us ill. Though we do get trace amounts in apple juice between 0.001 and 0.08 mg/ml.
This is not to scare anyone but just so that you are aware that you are not using too much of this type of herb or seed in any ingestible formulas in the future.

Medicinal Herbs: Active Constituents: Tannins
http://medicinalplants.us/tannins (Has a list of high tannin containing herbs)
https://thenaturopathicherbalist.com/plant-constituents/tannins/#:~:text=Tannins%20are%20polyphenolic%20compounds%20that,them%20resistant%20to%20proteolytic%20enzymes.
A Tanin is any of a family of compounds that react with proteins to produce a leathery coating on animal tissues and give woods their brown, red, and yellow hues. Tannins are anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and astringent.
Think of it this way tannin rich herbs are used to “Tighten” up over relaxed tissue, such as diarrhea. Tannin rich herbs also protect damaged skin, think of the tough leathery coating from the definition earlier, this would form a protective layer on skin problems such as eczema or a burn. Tannins are also great to help reduce a heavy menstrual flow.
Hold Up! I know this sounds amazing…………. But there are a few more things you need to know before you start making absolutely everything with Tannin Rich Herbs. There can be side effects. Too much of anything can be bad. I have a link in the description to medicinalplants.us/tannins that gives a list of Herbs rich in Tannins as well as descriptions of how the use of these can go wrong.
Tannins shouldn’t really be administered with any other medications simultaneously, as they have the potential to bind or reduce the absorption of the other herbs or medications that a person is taking. When you are mixing herbs, know which ones are rich in tannins and which are not. If you are not using any herbs rich in tannins than your recipe is probably good. If one of your herbs falls on the list linked in the description below, then lower the amount that you are putting into your formula.
Those are the basics of tannins. Keep watching or listening for a listing of herbs that have tannins that can be used on specific body systems.
Hemostatic (Controls or Stops the flow of blood)
Yarrow
Horse chestnut
Shepherd's Purse
Witch Hazel
Gastrointestinal Tract
Meadowsweet
American Cranesbill

Medicinal Herbs: Active Constituents: Volatile Oils
Thank you again for joining me. I hope you enjoyed this installment. If you have any information you would like to share about Volatile Oils please leave a comment. I would never claim to know everything, I think we are always learning and gathering more information. I hope you have a blessed day!
References:
Definition Reference: volatile oil. (n.d.) Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health, Seventh Edition. (2003). Retrieved June 23 2022 from https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/volatile+oil
https://thenaturopathicherbalist.com/plant-constituents/volatile-oils/
A substance of oily consistency and feel, derived from a plant and containing the principles to which the odor and taste of the plant are due (essential oil); A Volatile oil evaporates when exposed to the air, which makes it capable of distillation. This oil can also be extracted through expression or extraction.
Volatile oils can be used topically to stimulate the tissue that it is coming into contact with. They can also be used internally (Be careful to check for allergies!). There are two subcategories for the different effects these oils can have.
Stimulant or Expectorant Herbs that are rich in Volatile oils have an effect on the respiratory, digestive and circulatory systems. Some of the effects these types of volatile oils can have are Analgesic, Antimicrobial, Carminative, Diaphoretic, Expectorant, Febrifuge, Galactagogue and Rubefacient
Nervine rich herbs affect the respiratory, digestive and circulatory systems. Many of these types of Volatile oils are found in the roots with a protective covering, and need to be bruised or scared to release their odor. Some of the properties these herbs have are Antispasmodic, Carminative, Sedative

Flavonoids are rich in antioxidants, which make them useful in fighting off or keeping at bay everyday toxins. They are also known to help decrease risk of certain chronic health conditions such as:
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes
Cancer Prevention
Neurodegenerative disease protection
Flavonoids can also help with Weight Management because they release a hormone called Leptin when we eat them, this hormone naturally decreases the appetite, as well as relieves inflammation.
Flavonoids do have different groupings and these groupings do have different medical benefits:
The groupings:
Flavones: These include luteolin and apigenin. Good sources of flavones are celery, parsley, various herbs and hot peppers. Flavones are associated with overall antioxidant benefits and delaying the metabolizing of drugs.
Anthocyanidins: These include malvidin, pelargondin, peoidin and cyanidin. Good sources of anthocyanidins include red, purple and blue berries; pomegranates; plums; red wine; and red and purple grapes. Anthocyanidins are associated with heart health, antioxidant effects and helping with obesity and diabetes prevention.
Flavonones: These include hesperetin, eriodictyol and naringenin. Flavonones are found abundantly in citrus fruits. They are associated with cardiovascular health, relaxation and overall antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Isoflavones: This subgroup includes genistein, glycitein and daidzein. Isoflavones are highly concentrated in soybeans and soy products, as well as legumes. They are phytoestrogens, meaning that they are chemicals that act like the hormone estrogen. Scientists suspect they may be beneficial in lowering the risk of hormonal cancers, such as breast, endometrial and prostate cancers, though study results are currently mixed. In various studies, isoflavones have sometimes acted as antioxidants and sometimes as oxidants, so their effect on cancer is unclear. They are also being studied as a way to treat menopausal symptoms.
Flavonols: This widely distributed subgroup of flavonoids includes quercetin and kaempferol. They are found in onions, leeks, Brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli, tea, berries, beans and apples. Quercetin is an antihistamine associated with helping to relieve hay fever and hives. It is also known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Kaempferol and other flavonols are associated with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities leading to chronic disease prevention.
Flavanols: There are three primary types of flavanols: monomers (more widely known as catechins), dimers and polymers. Flavanols are found in teas, cocoa, grapes, apples, berries, fava beans and red wine. Catechins are especially common in green and white teas, while dimers, which are associated with lowering cholesterol, are found in black tea. Scientists suspect catechins might be useful in aiding chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms. Catechins are also associated with cardiovascular and neurological health.

Garden Walk July 8 2022

Medicinal Herbs: Active Constituents: Phenol
Peer Reviewed Document Link: https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/78579 written by Asma Nisar
Peer Review Article Link: https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/38573 written by Maria de Lourdes Reis Giada
Pharmaceutical Med Article: https://sciendo.com/pdf/10.1515/cipms-2018-0036
Phenol is an active constituent in food and plants, this constituent gives these foods and plants specific medicinal properties such as:
Anti-inflammatory - Used to reduce Inflammation
Antiseptic - A substance that stops or slows down the growth of microorganisms
Antioxidant - A substance that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals
Phenols constitute one of the larger groups of secondary plant metabolites. They are found throughout nature in plants such as Thyme, White Willow, and many of the different species of the Mint Family. These are even found in our daily herbs such as Oregano, Rosemary, Marjoram, Sage and Tarragon.
Phenol has constituents that range from:
Salicylic Acid - A bitter compound present in certain plants. It is used as a fungicide and in the manufacturing of Aspirin
Complex Phenolic Glycosides (Link) Link in Description
Basically this can be defined as a secondary metabolite in species of plants that work as a defense against herbivores. They are made up of one or more sugars combined with an alcohol or a complex molecule such as a steroid nucleus.
Still not simple, but as simple as I can break the full definition down into.
