Nettle is just such an underrated plant, simply miraculous. It grows literally everywhere. All you need is two cups per day, in the form of a tea, to detoxicate your body. Same goes with St. John's wort, dandelion, horsetail, goldenrod or a cistus. Also get yourself a pot of an aloe plant. Profit.
Thank you for the time you take for others
Thanks for the video! We have plenty of nettles in the back yard! I have to wear gloves to touch them. Thanks for the good tips! And I love your accent, too!
In my country we use no gloves to increase blood circulation. The grannies beat their joints with it due to arthritis pain.
If you want long Har make a scrub from sugar powdered dry nettles and Hanna. Rub in in good and leave it as long as you can. Wash and use very mind shampoo conditioner combo
@@svelanikolova5776 I always get severely stung...I have to wear gloves. It's quite painful and will throb for hours
When my mother was pregnant she would drink a blend 50 50 of alfalfa tea and nettle tea. It quickly became my favorite tea not only for how it made me feel but for the taste!
This was such a joy to watch! You’re a natural. Thank you
Just moved into a new enviroment and was wrestling in the grass without a shirt with my friend and i was shocked to find the next morning all these burns on my torso!!! This plant really does sting and it hurts!!! (Duh lol) But now i kinda wanna harvest some when you say theyre common and have health benefits. Thanks!!!
THANKYOU, I have alot of body pain because of old injuries from a car accident, I collect stinging nettle and boil and freeze it until needed then add to soups, stews etc and it greatly reduces my pain xo
Fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. 🙏🏽 🌱
Loved this video and it’s also really helpful. Thanks a lot!
Excellent teaching video! You get right to the point. There is no filler content. You are knowledgeable. And pleasant. I am blessed with a patch of stinging nettles right behind my home. We live on four acres away from any highways. Now that I have the information I need, I will be harvesting from a sloping triangle patch that is about 12x12x20 ft. I am excited to know that this is exactly the right time to start harvesting. Thank you so much!!
So glad you posted this! I have nettles & have always wanted to harvest them instead of just weeding them, THANKS!
You are so welcome!
Interesting Video's on Nettles.
Does the plant die off after the top has being harvested. . . ?
Only thinking of time lapse until another harvest could be made. . . . .
Thank you for everything dear
how beautiful! thank you for sharing
Just subscribed to your channel , as made a basic Nettle soup just now , absolutely smashing & very filling lol
Thank you for your excellent video! My neighbour has let her garden overgrow and it’s full of nettles, about 100kg could be harvested. I can reach over the top of the fence, I will get my gloves on and get myself a handful to make a tea. It’s incredible this was not spoke of more during covid pandemic. It could have saved a lot of stress for people unable to get ivermectin.
In the Caucasus, the stinging property of the nettle is used to treat arthritis. My mother in law tells of how her mother used to line her bed with the leaves and then get into bed wearing only her underwear so that the stinging would increase blood flow and help her joints. For me, I’m not sure I could endure it, but it does comfort me when I’m harvesting and get some sting.
AMAZING! Thank you for sharing, Amanda!
thks for the knife cutting explanation. It allows me to stand in one spot and cut in a circle with one hand and place the cutting in my bag with same hand. simple but effective.
Peggy thank you for your help xx
Thank you for your appreciation, VICTOR CRAIG! That means a lot lot me!
Fantastic video. I'm subscribing. I always use plantain herb for nettle stings and harvest with scissors and a basket. Your very brave. 😊
I found Nettle really helped my daughter and my Asthma. Today I have found Japanese Knotweed has healed my lung health with daily smoothies. I'm trying Nettle again for my daughter for Asthma and Hay Fever. She sadly does not drink all her smoothies or herbal teas. But I hope to encourage her to try. 😊🦋🐝😊
Love this!

I love this video. I feel like I’ve levelled up just watching it. You are so genuine. Thank you ❤ Big question for you, very important for me to know, could Nettle Tea be combined with say another tea or herbal tea like Red Tea or a Turmeric blend? Maybe as a subtle micro dose to a pre-existing tea routine. And if you have an opinion of the practice of blending different teas or herbals I’d be interested in your thoughts. I believe I’ve reached “heal by beverage” status over the past few years. I’ve felt enormous gains.
Nettle soup is very good....ate one today😋
My favourite!!!

Wow! What a great video. I’m only half way through and blown away with how lovely she explains things and how knowledgable.
I would love to learn about herbalism and gardening/ growing herbs and foods for health. Can anyone recommend me any books/ websites/ materials that might help ❤😊
You are so cute 🤩 love your energy!
Thanks for sharing.
Nice video. Can you freeze the nettles for use during winter or scarcity?
Thank you for the video, you are beautiful!
Awww....thank you, Steve Kloop!
Excellent ❤❤❤❤❤
They are always along river banks too.
Yes, they like moisture! :-)
I like this😊
Thank you so much ❤️✨

🌏💗💗💗 thank you!
I am very happy to find your channel. You are uplifting and inspiring. Thank you for your time and knowledge. I look forward to listening to many of your videos past and to come. One important tip. Always cover your tea cup or pot with a glass of stainless steel cover. This helps keep in all the beneficial oils and nutrients. Nettle tea is one of my go to herbs for many reasons, one being allergies. I love strong and long steeped teas.
Awesome, LARK'S GARDENS! Thank you for sharing!
thank you!! i am going to make nettle cake
Those birds in the background 🥺🥺🥺
Hi Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I understand that once the nettle start producing seed, you cannot harvest the leaves for consumption, can you give us advice on that please?
do you use those stems you pick also in your cooking or do you take the leaves off first? amazing content!!
My mother in law takes the leaves off and then blanches the stems separately and serves them with some lemon juice and good oil, almost like zucchini noodles. Very tasty. She usually dries the leaf for tea.
Good morning, Peggy. Your thoughts on using alcohol based nettle tincture topically. Like for sprains, tendonitis, arthritis and other pain. Thank you.
I love your videos, you speak my language (herbs and everything natural) I had read that it is not good to harvest the leaves while they are seeding. Is this correct please? Apparently, there is some kind of toxin in the leaves at this point.
No toxins, it's just that there is not much energy in the leaves when the plant is producing seeds...
Watch this...

Dear Peggy, thanks so much for your work. You really give me some hope, since I have been suffering from allergies from age 3, with symptoms that are very similar to yours. I also like to put nettles into my green smoothie, but I am not so consistent with them yet. One question: Would you recommend juicing nettles or is the tea really better? THANK YOU!!
Juicing is great, dried raw nettle powder is also great.
And tea is the softest from all.
@@GutFeelings Thank you for the clarification
Hi Peggy, I see that other vloggers recommend hanging up the nettles to dry and then simply stripping them off their stems when ready. You agree it's that simple? If put in a jar when dry, how long do they last? Cheers Tony
yes, that's a cool way to dry them. I would not leave them out like this for weeks though as they lose potency when exposed to sunlight over a long period of time. Stored in a jar they can last easily till next nettle season!
We just had our first frost here, can I still harvest after they have been hit by frost? Thank you
Thanks for the video, i want to know if i can blend only leaves for smoothies , or i can blend it with stamp?
the top leaves with stem are ok, further down they get more stringy...
I just started growing stinging nettke. Cant find any in my area. So i didnt know about the three row trick. And i harvasted some for a tincture. But i just randomly harvasted different leaves. Are the lower leaves not good to use?
Can you do this all year round though
Hi! I was wondering why you harvest only the top 3 pairs of leaves? I’m sure there’s a reason… curious mind here 😊
Thank you for this wonderful video!
Which counyry n place is this ..nice greenary ..love it
This one is shot in Leipzig, Germany at a lake.
I have a nice, small crop of nettles between my house and my neighbor's fence, quite a narrow area. I would like to use them as food and tea. Once I harvest the top three pairs of leaves, I will want to eliminate the rest of the plants (more will grow) to prevent stinging when I pass through this area, as I often do. Should I save them or dry them for tea? How? Thanks. your video was helpful.
i wish i was there so i would be able to pluck the leaves and store their seeds
Hi where do you live, here in illinois it is hard to find it.
Hi, I'm worried that maybe dogs or people might have urinated on the nettles in my local park. If I wash or steep them in cold water would that lesson their nutritional value? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
I'll pass picking the ones around my place with bare hands or any exposed skin. I am very interested in trying them however. Seems like they might help with a lot of things I suffer from.
Good luck picking Canadian nettles like that, you'd be taking a trip to the hospital! LOL
Yup so true. If you even brush Canadian nettles very lightly by accident once you're in a world of pain for days.
I was thinking the same thing. I just brushed by some one day and at least 24 hours of burning tingling. I used lepages glue to make a skin over top then peeled it off to try and remove the microscopic hairs and then antihistamine cream to try and abate the intense burning tingling. Painful! Would never try this here in BC Canada.
How are you touching them and not getting stung when u put them in the glass?
This stuff is the bomb. Is more potent than spinach.
Give it to your plants as mulch as tea as a foliar spray
Drink it or eat it
Dry if for you bunny.
Fermented nettle foliar spray or seed soak ( see the video from Hue Richard's on the exact recipe spray early in the morning
A similar knife is a MoraKniv if anyone would like a similar knife. Not a sales pitch, I own multiple.
I think stinging nettle is related to shiso. They look very similar.
How do you dry them?
Please can I wash before using it?
On my nature breaks I always walk by nettle plants and wonder, can I really harvest it anywhere? Is there no risk whatsoever? Thank you!
Do you wash the nettles before using in a tea or skin product etc it doesn't wash away the health benefits for example? Thank you
I have some in my garden. Could I use them. My garden is next to a derilict building and some stuff has been dumped around there
In this case it's best to get them from another area or get the organic nettle tea or powder here...

Yes, that's correct!
Tea, soup, nettle leaf powder in smoothies... all great!

@@GutFeelings Hi ! How do you make nettle leaf powder ?
Anita Ui Mhuireagain
She does have a link for purchasing powder in her benefits of stinging nettle video.
Great information, I’m 62 suffer from gout usually take Indometacin when I get a acute attack and I’ve been advised by my doctor to take Allopurinol once a day. Want to go herbal, read somewhere, think it was the Bible about herbs. Thanks, God bless you and multiply your viewers.
Thank you, calvarylife!!! May you feel better soon!
I know you can do this! :-)
Horsetail it's a great herb. I'm actually making a tea of horsetail, echinacea, stevia leaf and nettle right now! The only thing is you should take breaks from horsetail. Horsetail is super good for inflammation and specifically gout. Blessings! :)
I drink nettle tea daily, generally buying the pre-packaged tea bags from my local health food store. Although in the autumn I have plenty of fresh nettle in my backyard and have begun harvesting and steeping the leaves raw in a pot of water. It's best to not boil nettle. A simmer is all you need for the plants to release all of their green, earthy goodness. You can even cold brew fresh nettle leaves in a container in your fridge but it takes 24 hours or longer to create a tea.
I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice but have done a lot of research on the subject, being a 53 year old gout sufferer myself. That said, some studies show that drinking nettle tea on a regular basis is a great preventative against a painful gout attack. Perhaps even more so than the pharmaceutical products you mention. Start a regimen of drinking nettle tea daily for at least 2 weeks before you can expect to see any benefits. I brew a cup in the evenings and let it steep all night, sipping it cold if I awake in the night, then down the remainder when I wake, which is usually when your body is dehydrated so I feel it gets into your system quicker. I have found that you can skip a day or two here and there in your daily regimen without depleting your body of the health benefits of nettle.
It's difficult getting away from pharmaceuticals all together if you suffer from gout. The drug Indometacin works well if you need fast pain relief but it can significantly alter your mental state, leaving you groggy, severely dizzy and in a haze for many hours. But if you absolutely have to walk, I have not found a comparable natural alternative unfortunately. Colchicine is another drug that works well for acute attacks, whereas nettle does not help (in my experience) if you already have a gout attack underway. I am still searching for a herbal remedy that can help during an acute attack but haven't found one myself. Good luck in your journey to better health!
Do we need to boil the leaves to remove burning sensation before using for soup or smoothies ?
No, just put them raw in a smoothie and blend.
I wonder if the "stinging " part of this could cause an allergic reaction in some people ?
Yes.
Just found you, watched a couple of your videos. I too think you're gorgeous.
I like that you take the time to post in the video description what is in video, that way I can keep information in screenshots.

You mentioned in another video about asthma benefits. I have a sister with lung fibrosis issues, she's 60 years old. I can't imagine nettles hurting, what is the best or bests method to aid her?
Mike
Thank you, Mike!
I had asthma myself... it's tough! Celery juice, a super clean diet and nettle tea (if she likes as extra support) would be best.

I’ll be trying to drink nettle tea everyday as hay fever season approaches. I’ll also be ditching dairy (as much as poss) - I will bet my house that it doesn’t work.
talking about positive expectations.... LOL
Gut Feelings talk about positive responses...LOL
💜
Why only cut off the first 3 leaf pairs?
This is also my question!
hi. I have low blood pressure. I don't know Can I use Stingning Nettle to heal my chronic desease?
thank you :)
YES!!!!
Gut Feelings thank you :) Because I’ve read on the internet that stinging Nettle can lower blood pressure. Anyway, I think I use this amazing herb for my healing.
Thank you once more time for such informative videos.
I wish you a lovely day ❤️🙏🏿
Licorice is good for low blood pressure.

I bought nettle loose tea. Can I use it as a powder for the Risotto Rice Recipe?
Technically yes, but it might not taste that great ;-)
@@GutFeelings for numbness in feet and cramping legs at night I need magnesium especially as a vegan. any recommendation? thank u.
@@GutFeelings I also have one other question for you. I see the dentist and my teeth and gums are suffering from acid reflux. She told me to start using digestive enzymes. She also said to ask what food combinations are not working for me. She wants me to get to the root of the acid reflux as my dentist so that she can stop filling my teeth. It is so frustrating to me and I don't know what to do exactly. protein inhibitor pills are not good for me, But is all that the doctor is prescribing.
I heard you can’t harvest them while they’re seeding or after, and the best time to harvest them is before seeding….
Now is the perfect time.
I was harvesting nettles but now the stems are turning dark brown/red. Are they still ok to eat?
That's the oxidation proccess. They are OK to eat but I'd rather use them for tea and pick fresh ones for a soup or salad.
🤗
Can I use dried nettle leaves in smoothie?
Totally, yes!
why dont you harvest the bottom part of the nettle? are they not as potent?
Great question! Ask me on the next LIVE Q&A.
Would gloves help
theres alot of nettles around here but they have all gone to seed. can i cut them back so there are new leaves? I read not to eat the older leaves, cant remember why tho. TY
Absolutely
your volume in too hard to hear
2:09 incorrect. Not every plant has a root. Bryophytes, of which there are tens of thousands of species have no roots. please check your facts before making claims.
