    I love what you have to say and do. But, you are to far away from the Mic, can’t hardly hear you. Need to speak up or put mic closer to you. Thank you

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      Hmmm…it seems to play OK on my computers. You might check the volume setting on the youtube video and on your computer.
      I’ll talk to my IT guy though too to see if we can boost things a bit. :0)

    yup, the German name for teasel is Karde as in carding fiber. And your tincture is fantastic for my daughter’s RA!!!!

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      The English word teasel is also from “teasing”/carding wool. They must have all been using it for the same thing.
      I’m glad it’s helping your daughter.

  3. Linda says:

    How do you grind cloves. I’ve tried a mortar and pestle and the dry container of my vitamix which ruined my container.

  4. Sirena Peterman says:

    You mentioned hops are in the same plant family as CBD. Could using hops run the same risk as CBD of producing a false positive on a drug test?

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      I really don’t know Sirena. I wouldn’t guess that topical use would. But, drug testing is a bit out of my ballywick.

  5. Anne says:

    I found this interview really interesting . I’m in the UK but if your courses were accessible for me I would definitely attend them!
    I know a few people who are in permanent pain, one is my son aged 50 who suffers with old sport knee and inker injuries the another who has fibromyalgia but is also on pharmaceutical drugs after heart valve replacement surgery. Then there’s me with occasional very painful arthritic flare-ups! I think the cost of shipping these days makes purchasing your remedies prohibitive. I would love to found someone in UK of similar ilk as your good self.
    ThankYOU so much for this information!
    Best wishes

      Hi Anne,

      I have a lot of students in the UK…not to mention Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe, Canada….
      The entire program can be completed online and you’d be amazed how many of the same plants we have. Seems the American colonists tracked a lot of seeds over here when they came from Britain and Europe. :0)

      Anne, I live in Italy and have attended and completed the school online, in line with the free time I had from job. We do have the same plants here in Europe, and most can be adapted. It doesn’t need to cost a fortune, just learn how to recognize them and take a walk in the woods and in the fields, learn how to make tinctures (soooo easy) and start using them. I loved the school. Best choice I ever made!

      • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

        So glad you enjoyed it Marisa. Remember that you have lifetime access and that there are lots of new additions and updated in the pipeline. And we can always use the experiences ad perspectives of graduates on the student forum. :0)

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      Yup. Full strength.
      The only time I dilute a tincture for topical use is if I’m spraying the Poultice formula tincture on an open wound. Then I’ll add 1 tsp tincture to 2 oz water because alcohol is a bit zingy on an open wound.

  6. Loraine Lott says:

    As always I love your information videos Doc!! I’ve had this question a long time now, but it just surfaced again after watching your pain video.
    When harvesting bark from willow, cramp bark and others, do you just whittle the whole stick down until it’s gone or at what point do you stop? Does this make sense? Of course I’m insecure about it and it holds me back! I have 2 cramp bark and a willow but I never harvest it because I don’t know the details of it all.
    Ok. I appreciate all your help and knowledge!
    Thanks again!

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      The “bark” of trees and shrubs consists of two layers, the outer dry bark and the inner green cambium. When herbalists talk about medicinal bark, they’re almost always talking about the cambium. It’s usually pretty easy to see separation between the cambium and the wood.
      On cramp bark and willow (at least on the young green branches o willow) I just take both the outer bark and the cambium because the outer bark is so thin, it’s not worth the time and effort to separate it off.

  7. Karen Melhouse says:

    Loved the information. I hope to make use of one or more of these herbs. I’ve dealt with chronic pain from a winging scapula caused by spinal assessory nerve damage most likely from lymph node removal and radiation treatments in 1997. In 2011 I had anaplasmosis and then undiagnosed Lyme disease. Something did a job on the nerve. The orthopedic doctors tell me that it will not get better and do not give advice on dealing with it except for gabapentin, which I have stopped. I’ve started white willow extract hoping to get some relief. Looking for advice.

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      That one could have been on the list too. I guess I should do a video about prickly lettuce so it doesn’t feel left out. :0)

  8. Susan says:

    Dear Doc,
    I’m agreeing with Beverly, It’s hard to hear you sometimes. Do you have a transcript of this video? That would be great to have!
    PS: You are my fav vet and herb guy!

  9. Dena says:

    Hi Doc, I enjoy watching your videos. They are informative and entertaining! What would you suggest to take internally or apply topically to the hands and forearms for carpal tunnel syndrome numbness and pain? And how often should It be done? Thanks in advance.

  10. Shannon Nevil says:

    Hello Dr. Jones, I received my first order of some of your tinctures and powders. I bought Hops, Teasel, Cramp bark and NoMoSpazms powder. I am starting with Hops first. My husband has tendinitis. I am only applying topical since he is on so many heart meds. Your video on pain brought me so much hope.

  11. D. Harris says:

    Hi Doc Jones,
    I’m in Australia. Is there any prohibition, that you are aware of, against importing the tinctures or herb powders into Western Australia?

    I bought your EBooks on herbs, (the download is vastly cheaper than international postage) and an loving it.

    I’m saving up to join the school. I am retired and on a fixed income so I need to juggle a few things to make room in the budget for the tuition. Based on your YouTube video content, I feel it will be worth the investment in time and money.
    God bless you,
    Beth

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      Hi Beth, I don’t know what Australia’s laws are on importing products. You’d have to ask your local folks.
      The good news is, there is a lot of commonality with plants from North America and plants in Australia. Apparently the same British folks tracked the same weed seeds in on their shoes. LOL
      I have a number of students in Australia and am always amazed at how many of the plants I use grow in their back yards too. :0)

  12. Belinda Taylor says:

    My husband was in an auto accident in 1994 when he was thrown from a vehicle going 60 MPH. Years later, he has pain. He has treated with neurologists, chiropractic, spine doc – little relief. He is now taking the Teasel Tincture along with NoMoSpazms and reported relief the FIRST day! Thank you so much Dr. Jones!!!

  13. pukikipo says:

    Hi Doc,
    In the video, you said that you have to know what you are doing, but applying a tincture externally will not interfere with pharmaceuticals taken internally. I hope I got that right. Would a salve work the same way, used externally? It will not affect or interact with a pharmaceutical internally?

    • Dr. Patrick Jones says:

      Yes. Lotions, salves or topical tinctures have much less interaction with or impact on internally used pharmaceuticals than internal herbs have.
