About this episode
Today, I tell you about the medicinal properties of Snowberry/Wolfberry/Coralberry and Taxus, or Yew. We discuss the poisonous properties of certain medicinal herbs, and why you must do your own research - in some cases the toxicity is overstated, but in others guru type fraudsters encourage the use of plants that are so dangerous they can kill you!Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902 Judson Carroll - YouTubeTune of the week:Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me on guitarI show you how to play John Hurt's "Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me". This is a fairly complex tune compared to most of his music. It is in the key of C and show both a big Jimmie Rodgers influence and ragtime guitar.https://youtu.be/Csg0jxC_EIENew today in my Woodcraft shop:Toasted Holly Coffee Scoop - Judson Carroll Woodcrafthttps://judsoncarrollwoodcraft.substack.com/p/toasted-holly-coffee-scoopEmail: judson@judsoncarroll.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/supportMy new book: A Daily Catholic Devotional Reflections on the Daily Mass readings January-June, 2026: Caroll, Judson: 9798270034252: Amazon.com: Books https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FWJMD7CLRead about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guide
