Wild Edible and Medicinal: Sweetfern
Sweetfern is a wonderful flavor for most teas. It is also high in tannins which help dry out weepy rashes and takes away the itch of poison ivy and other skin ...

@mukwah1111 I've never used it for that but that doesn't mean it wouldn't
be good for it. I'll ask around. Thanks for watching.

@ewetubesuxass from what I know, I'm afraid it's only native to the
north-east U.S. and eastern Canada.

Is that native to the northern states or can it be found down south and in
Texas?

Can you make tea with fresh leaves or do they have to be dried out first?

Yes it grows in Maine! In fact there's even a company in Norway ME called
Sweet Fern of Oxford that sells the tea. Penobscot and other Native
Americans used the external wash for skin irritations. The Maine Primitive
Skills School has many videos here on YouTube, one which describes how to
start a fire with the leaves in more detail than I did. I'm not an
herbalist so I don't know exact amounts of vitamins in plants but I bet
it's high in vitamin C & antioxidants like most greens are.

Many libraries here in western MA have my DVDs--you can use interlibrary
loan to check them out. My most recent YTvideos aren't on my DVDs, but I
have segments on the DVDs that aren't posted here on YT. Thanks so much for
your positive comments & subscription! Check out my website for weedwalks
that I lead--most of them are free. (website is liosted at the end of my YT
vids.)

I search & search! Some songs about plants I'm already familiar with, but
those plants that I don't know a song for, I'll google something like "
song about (name of plant) "or go to itunes store & search there. It's fun
to find obscure tunes. Not all plants I feature have been written about, so
in those cases, I'll use a song that mentions weeds.

I summered for many years on the Cape & that's where I first came in
contact with sweetfern. You're right--its everywhere there. Often when I
rode my bike on the Cape on a hot summer day, I'd be surrounded on the
trail by sweet fern & bayberry --their combined smell was like instant
aromatherapy.Ambrosia!

Not that I know of. What makes this plant easy to id is its aroma. All
parts of it exude a spicy scent-- just scratch & sniff! Of course if you
have any doubt about a plant you collect, consult several books or someone
at a local nature center...

Your channel is awesome! I wish I had enough money to order your DVDs right
now. I love that you are from my area, so most of the stuff you talk about
is stuff that I have seen before, and never knew was edible. Thanks for the
awesome videos!

Nice to meet another Massachusetts resident here. I'm on the cape, and see
that plant everywhere in our glacial till. Smells wonderful.

I used to take vitamin d3 in liquid form. Now I just get out as much as
possible. It is said that playing around with fat soluble vimamins can have
some not so good effects on the body. I will be playing around with a lamp
this winter. I scored a perfeclty good reptile lamp out of a dumpster last
spring :)

I see you walking in the sun with your shirt off to get your Vitamin D.
What do you do in the winter to get Vitamin D? Can you use a sun lamp to
get Vitamin D during the winter?

My mother-in-law brewed a tea from the leaves of the sweet fern and it was
the best treatment for poison ivy that I have experienced. Applying a cloth
soaked in the tea to the area with poison ivy relieved the itching and
stopped the spread. Would love to find some in Pennsylvania
Cool basket and vessel, great plants and informations. Wow, very good hand
drill! Respect : ) Fine video! Thanks and happy Day, Sepp

I may have missed it in the video, but its a good bug repellant too, which
I thought was its only use.

Cinnamon Fern
This cinnamon fern is covered up by vetch. Removing the vetch would have ruined the fern so instead I will just let the fern be. The vetch will eventually die off ...
