Show 262: Symphoricarpos and Yew

Southern Appalachian Herbs

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 - YouTube Tune of the week: Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me on guitar I 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_EIE New today in my Woodcraft shop: Toasted Holly Coffee Scoop - Judson Carroll Woodcraft https://judsoncarrollwoodcraft.substack.com/p/toasted-holly-coffee-scoop Email: judson@judsoncarroll.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/support My 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/B0FWJMD7CL Read about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54 Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.html Available in paperback on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47LHTTH and Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faith https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.html Available in paperback on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK Visit my Substack and sign up for my free newsletter: https://judsoncarroll.substack.com/ Read about my new other books: Medicinal Ferns and Fern Allies, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/11/medicinal-ferns-and-fern-allies.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMSZSJPS The Omnivore’s Guide to Home Cooking for Preppers, Homesteaders, Permaculture People and Everyone Else: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-omnivores-guide-to-home-cooking-for.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKX37Q2 Medicinal Shrubs and Woody Vines of The American Southeast an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/06/medicinal-shrubs-and-woody-vines-of.html Available for purchase on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2T4Y5L6 and Growing Your Survival Herb Garden for Preppers, Homesteaders and Everyone Else https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/04/growing-your-survival-herb-garden-for.html https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X4LYV9R The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Bitter Herbs: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-encyclopedia-of-bitter-medicina.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5MYJ35R and Christian Medicine, History and Practice: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/01/christian-herbal-medicine-history-and.html Available for purchase on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09P7RNCTB Herbal Medicine for Preppers, Homesteaders and Permaculture People: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2021/10/herbal-medicine-for-preppers.html Also available on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09HMWXL25 Podcast:  https://www.spreaker.com/show/southern-appalachian-herbs Blog: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/ Free Video Lessons: Herbal Medicine 101 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7QS6b0lQqEclaO9AB-kOkkvlHr4tqAbs
