I have debilitating migraines all the time and my doctor keeps giving me pills that don't work, I'm tired of it. I saw a video from the honeystead TH-cam channel that was about how she uses feverfew for her headaches. Coincidentally, I had it growing in my yard and now one homemade capsule a day and no headaches for almost a year now.
Woah cool! You could probably grow a ton of it, dehydrate it, and store a big mason jar worth to store for years.
amen!
Please check-out Dr. Patrick Jones, the Homegrown Herbalist.
Try eating magic mushrooms once a month. You may wig out for four hours but the body release is insane. Watched a video about a guy that has cluster headaches and how he stopped it with shrooms by eating them once a month.
Pinch between your thumb and first finger for 3 minutes.n you can even use a clothes pin!
This year I was taking Black seed oil, one teaspoon a day for another complaint and realized that this was my first time no tree pollen allergies. I missed one day and my eyes were suffering. Hope this helps someone.
Great video by the way ❤❤❤
This is interesting. I to was taking BSO for another ailment but stopped using it. Now I'm waking up with the same hold 'morning head congestion' I used to have. When I was on the BSO my sinuses cleared up but until now I had never made the connection. I'm going back on the BSO. ;)
How do you guys get the BSO down the hatch tho?
I am wondering the same thing. I have Blackseed oil as a salve, but not sure how to put it in the capsules? Or how much?
Been taking that also, it's great !!
@@labradorite8256it's not enjoyable but doable......have some water or another beverage handy to drink after you swallow the BSO....
I encapsulate my herbs too. I just sent one sister 600 Turkey tail she has cancer and another sister over 1000 caps of different herbs. I’ve done my own for 25 years.
@Peggy Stephens May I ask if you add any other herbs to your capsules for cancer? Please and thank you 😊.
what is the material of the capsule? Is that healthy to swallow? Just seems unhealthy but I known nothing about these things... sounds fantastic you've done this som many years!
@@Luisa-cs2pdthey are veggie capsules I'm told.
Hello May I ask how is your sister cancer ? Has it been cured ? And what herbs you used please?
I used to get sinus headaches all the time. They were awful. 😞
I had purchased food grade coconut oil for my skin, but found that it wasn't very useful. So I decided to make use of it by adding it to my breakfast toast. It was really good quality coconut oil, and was wonderfully fragrant.
I used it for a week, and one day realized that I hadnt had any sinus headaches! I continued to use it, and kept track of headaches, but essentially, I have NEVER suffered from them again. This was probably ten years ago now.
This still absolutely amazes me. I'm so thankful. God provides so many wonderful cures. 🌿
Hopefully this may help someone else.
Thank you... and for giving God the glory He deserves!
Take 50% dried Alfalfa herbs and 50% dried Nettle herbs. Blend or grind into powder form. Fill 00 size capsules with powdered herb.
Perfectly put. I never subscribe to people like her who waste my time and the time of others. The lack of awareness of these kinds of people make them insufferable at times for highly productive people. You did, 10 seconds what took her 10 minutes to do.
Nothing she said, BTW actually works. Black Seed Oil works if you can handle the nasty taste.
@@zippitydoodah5693 they're trying to make a living helping educate people. what are you doing?
@@femiidowu-read9620 " _educating_ " people improperly can harm them. One's intent ( " _trying_ " ) is neither important in this instance, nor sufficient for the purpose of their aim. Alfalfa is in the ragweed family. People who are not " _educated_ " about this fact can end up in the hospital because of this video.
HOWEVER, caveat emptor being the rule of the moment here, you are still taking 50% of something that has a higher likelihood of CAUSING an allergic reaction than preventing one, and 50% of something that would probably show some measurable evidence of helpfulness . . . possibly canceling each other out, wasting everyone's time, effort, and money. But you're right . . . let's focus on _feelings_ and " _trying to help_ " . That's WAY more important.
FTR, I'm retired now. Military to government service, to community service to retirement.
I don't owe anybody an explanation for my life's work. And if I applied your logic, then it is ME that is truly " _trying to help educate people_ " so that they do not waste resources or come to harm.
@@zippitydoodah5693you can always forward the video 🙄
What kind of nettle? Stinging nettle? Dead nettle? There's all sorts out there.
Caution! Alfalfa is in the ragweed family. I am highly allergic to ragweed and when I tried this, my allergies blew up. I need to try it with only the stinging nettle and hopefully I'll have better results! :)
Glad you said that. I'm allergic to ragweed too. She needs to give warning. I'm gonna try nettle tea
It (alfalfa) also has an ammino acid that increases inflammation in conditions like lupus. Honestly I have wondered if we are supposed to eat grasses.
@@jamithompson358 I find nettle tea to be useful. Not alfalfa.
@@debbiepark9387 There is literally no plant with any amino acid profile more bioavailable, more balanced, or more abundant than that which one gets from red meat. Eat beef. Especially use the bone broth. It will help.
Stinging nettle tea helped my arthritis pain immensly!
Thanks soooo much! I did get the alfalfa & neetle , I ordered cap machine and put it all together....I made 500 caps and shared with my family. I didn't realize that these herbs are so good fir your body. I have been taking about 4 a day and I haven't taken any sinus meds at all! No sneezing! No sinus infections! I live in Oklahoma. Thankyou so much for sharing this wonderful thing!!!!
I held out till Christmas, and ended up getting the capsule machine (used your link 😊). This was a great video and very helpful for me. I appreciate it, and thank you. God bless!
I ordered that little pill machine and the herbs for the allergies. Also seen in the comments feverfew for migraines I ordered those also. It would be so nice if you would do a weekly video on natural herbs for different things. Thank you so much for up for contributing to this community. Been watching you for a long time.
Yess I also ordered the machine and alfalfa and nettle to put in the capsules. Other ingredients to make pills would be great.
i would love to know if it help the allergies at all
One of the best things that helped my family's allergies was drinking raw milk. We live in one of the highest seasonal allergy centers in the USA and raw milk basically cured them.
That doesn't work if you're allergic to dairy though. Raw honey supposedly helps too. I can't do much sugar though, so both of those are out for me. This is a great option. 😊
That's great , 😃
Excellent. Wonder if other raw mills work or just cow. I am allergic to cow milk and my daughter is also in addition to beef and cattle hair!
Agree an goat milk best.
@@Momma_Tomma Used 2 work at a raw milk dairy, and we had lots of customers that were lactose- intolerant, but they could drink raw milk, no prob.
I found a wild patch of nettle growing on the borrowed property where our garden is. Yay! I'm going to nurture it.
That's a pretty nifty capsuling device. For decades I've filled my own capsules one by one, by hand.
I've always loved how I can have control over the dosage size of my herbal remedies, by filling my own capsules. It's great for households with children.
Alfalfa tablets definitely help with allergies but she’s right you have to take a lot and often. We use Shaklee brand. I have used nettle before for tea and it’s wonderful. Helps with stress and a lot of things.
Hey, another shaklee user here 🙂
We've not personally used the alfalfa but years ago my Mom had it for my brother.
Could you tell me how many do you or recommend to take to help with seasonal allergies?
I have made turmeric capsules with that same device. I love it and it’s so much cheaper than buying them.
That really takes me back to about 1978 I used to work as an encapsulator at a pill factory. I spent all day making about 300 or more capsules per batch with great big barrels of whatever drug it was I was making that day. I am sure that this will be much much better for everyone than anything I ever made. 😂. Thank you so much for this info!
Apricot seeds help with cancer. I have witnessed that first hand ❤❤😊
My now 6 year old developed hay-fever last year. I'm doing a cure with him, you sting yourself once a week with a nettle through out the whole season starting in spring! It's worked for someone else. Your immune system attacks the nettle sting and 'forgets ' about the hay-fever. He's so good at it!!
Please explain in detail . Thanks
I do that for my Fibromyalgia.
what is really neat is the juice from the nettle stems rubbed on the nettle stings stops the stinging in just a few seconds.
Aw bless him what a brave little boy 🤗
I grew up where stinging nettle abounds but my kids were never around it. On a visit to see family my oldest wandered into a patch of it looking for a ball. The screams. Bless his heart, I felt so bad for not thinking of explaining to him to stay out of it. Up to that point he had been begging us to move states to live there, after that he wanted to go home that day!
I found it on her blog page! Link found in description area of video.
Steep 1/2 teaspoon of each herb in a cup of not quite boiling water for 5-10 minutes, then sip. Make this tea multiple times daily.
Love your channel and excited to try this! Just wanted to note that you might want to add some type of legal disclaimer regarding medical information to the description box of this video. With society being so litigious these days, I just want y'all to be covered ❤
Maybe they’re not afraid of society’s latest “fear”.
Someone I know says,” This is what I would recommend for my family and friends.”
What a cool way to pack capsules! I just have this tiny spoon and pack mine over a bowl of what I'm packing into them.
If I'm sneezing and snotting, my quick go to is stinging nettle tea. My all time hero for a sinus headache is purple dead nettle tea.
Where do you find that tea?
@@dianaspy6733 It grows wild, but I've never seen it on our farm. A lady at one of our local Amish stores told me about it and sells it. I bought a small amount and then more. Honestly the thought of walking around and accidentally brushing against something that stings made me decide to buy instead of grow it.
@@lindachandler2293 did you find the dead nettle at the same place or? I'm growing the stinging nettle in a small raised bed for that reason its out of the way. I'm super interested in the purple dead nettle though.
@@brittanyragon6033 No. Purple dead nettle might or might not be a distant relative of stinging nettle. Purple dead nettle has no sting at all. Daddy told me a story about stinging nettle when he was a kid and I never wanted to grow it, but I don't mind buying it from someone else that doesn't mind growing it.
@@lindachandler2293 yes I know it doesn't have a sting to it. I'm wondering where you are finding it? Super interested in trying to use it/grow it, But don't have a source for it.
All Natural Organic ‘ local honey ‘ is all I need for my allergies . One teaspoon in a couple inches of warm water - the body absorbs the honey better , mixed in warm water .
Interesting, never heard of this !
Definitely!
It can be beneficial. However under the care of allergist if you have really severe allergies because you can have a cross reaction with pollens , herbs. Be careful. I can't do chamomile because It makes my nose run for 3 days. You may have to start your raw honey in a microdose under your tongue. Like the tip of a toothpick or pen sized. Tiny....
You know that anything you eat or drink is pulverized and liquified by your body long before it reaches the intestinal tract.
@@princessbabibear4794 or go to a doctor and get real medication that won’t cause allergic reactions rather than a TH-cam crunchy mom.
I’m so glad I ran across this video because I really have bad allergies due to dust and if it gets really bad I break out in a rash! Thank you so much!
Hey!...did you try this for your dust allergy? Did it work for you? I have a terrible dust allergy right now :( Thanks!
Love it!!! My husband takes allergy medicine every day! Giving this a try❤️
Definitely , go the herbal way .
Allergy med’s ruin your liver .
Please let us know how it works
Vit D3 comes in a tincture. I get the D3 that has 2500iU per drop. I put it on top of hubby's smoothie. 4-5 making total 10 000 iU drops when it's hay fever season. Smoothie ingredients: Apple, carrot, celery, pineapple, coconut cream and milk, berries, and fresh herbs, kale or spinach. Hubby's hay fever this year has been almost nil. I've been married for 31 years now.
@@laurajones6398 Awesome 😎, I’ll look that up 👍
How did this work?
I was so tired of hand filling my capsules and was almost ready to toss them until you showed that tool. Thank you for showing how to use that capsule tool. I have had pain and allergy remedies but I like in capsules instead of my teas.
This channel teaches me so much! I purchased all the items and am saving up for a freeze dryer too!
I’ve made teas and tinctures and honey but I’ve always stayed away from doing my own herbal capsules bc it seemed so tedious. Thanks for sharing this, I’ll definitely save $$ and plastic packaging this way!
God bless you, Carolyne. I have learned so much from you and Josh, and from the School of Traditional Skills.
Oh my goodness!!!! I have an older capsule filler. I have to put the tops on one by one. I love this!!! Going to be getting a new one. Thanks you Carolyn!!!!
My name is Anita too 🎉
I would love to try this! I am growing many medicinal herbs in my garden. God bless you with 11 kids!
Allergy season has been SOOO bad this year! My 6 year old has never shown signs of allergies but this year they’re horrible! I don’t want him being medicated every day like I had to be when I was a kid so now I’m on a desperate mission to research and heal our allergies naturally! I really hope this works for him!
@Yechiala Same in Sweden, I've been suffering like never before... still, I already had 3 years of some kind of sensibilisation or cannot remember the name but it is get rid of the allergy. I did that about 12 years ago and it doesn't help. Such a waste...
We're in West Virginia and it's been the same here for my middle daughter and husband. She has been getting really bad nosebleeds as well. I'm definitely trying this!
I’ve heard this from others in the U.K. too
@@Luisa-cs2pd Samma här... Både jag och min äldsta dotter (40år) har haft enorma problem med allergi i år! Bägge äter vi dagligen dessa kemiska mediciner, som inte alltid fungerar. Ska helt klart prova att göra dessa kapslar. Nässlor, växer ju som "ogräs" här ute på landet...
@Christina-cq6hq, not to alarm you, but consider checking your daughter's blood pressure when she gets a nose bleed. Sometimes it's a sign of elevated BP.
Well your probably not going to believe this but I am living proof. I got allergies at age 11 and when I was 37 it turned into asthma. I had 2 different inhalers and would have to go to the doctor about every 4 months for steroid and antibiotic treatment because I couldn't control the symptoms. I finally came to the conclusion I was going to die from this if I couldn't find another solution. So I found some info on peroxide and breathing problems like pneumonia. So I put collodial silver and peroxide in my nebulizer. 2 parts silver 1 part peroxide and after 3 treatments the wheezing started to clear. I couldn't believe finally something was actually helping clear my lungs. About a month past and my breathing was good enough I was only using my rescue inhaler if I had to walk alot and the other one not at all. So by 2 months no inhalers or doctor visits ever again. But my sinuses were still congestion and I decided to get a nasal sprayer fill it with the 2 parts collodial silver 1 part peroxide. I knew that it probably would burn but I wanted to be a normal person again. I sparyed it in one nostril and yes it did burn for about 10 seconds but stopped. I could feel it bubbling for about 5 seconds and instantly felt releaf. So in 3 days of using this spary my sinuses were completely clear I had not felt this good since before I got allergies at 11. But I was sure as soon as allergy season came back and the pine pollen I want be sneezing just like normal for me again.. But no everything has changed. My allergies would start in March and it's the middle of May. Nothing, no watery eyes sneezing, feeling feverish nothing. I can sleep all night and breath through my nose and no sneezing in the morning. It's truly a miracle from GOD I have found this. Maybe it could help others
Amazing! What percentage of peroxide did you use. Thanks for sharing. ♥️🌟👍🏻
Wish I could contact you personally! Thanks for the brilliant info! Do you add any water?
@@PrayerOpensDoor I just use the common peroxide
@maltipoos off grid HalleluYAH (praise Yah/ Yahweh His Hebrew Name)! That is wonderful! On your peroxide bottle, what does it say the percentage is? Please and thank you ma’am.
I completely believe it, you have to use food grade hydrogen peroxide though and be careful with the amounts, you have to use saline water to protect the lungs, the concentration of hydrogen is too high must be like 5ml to a 200ml saline water/colloidal silver combo
I use Purple Dead Nettle and Star Anise tea for my husband's allergies. Works better than his old Rx with no side effects.
We love our capsule maker! I use it to fill turmeric capsules. Now I have another use for it! Thank you!
Wonderful!
I've been using nettles, alfalfa, and many other herbs for 25+yrs!! Also have a capsule maker!!
When she is saying nettle is there a specific kind to mix with the alfalfa? Are either hard to grow?
Grandma always made nettle tea as a Spring Tonic. Works well for treating the rash or itch if you run into a bush of them too.
Yes. Herbal tea was seasonal remedies. 👍
I just placed an order. Growing up in Houston ragweed was an issue but moving to TN I am suffering 6 months out of the year with allergies. Looking forward to doing this. Thank you for sharing.
Hello where did you order from?❤
@@bdchantell45 check their website in the description. That is where I ordered from.
did it work for you allergies?
yes @@JOKER71791
@@AnnaEmertDid it work for your allergies?
Thank you for sharing this. It has come in at just the right time. I've used the last of my over the counter meds and did not want to buy any more...wanting to do herbal.
i drink herbal tea every day with nettle. burdock. dandelion. and mullein, so I think I will just add alfalfa to it. I tried to add horehound to the mix but the taste was bad, so I'm going to use the capsule machine for the nasty tasting one. Thanks so much
LOVE this!!!! Always so excited to learn herbal remedies and how to do it! The encapsulator is fantastic! Blessings on y’all- Liz in FL☀️
I was excited to see this video as I suffer badly with allergies, however I'm allergic to weed pollens so can't take nettle😢😢😢
Carolyn, Thank you so much for all your knowledge. I would never have thought that those pills would be so easy to fill.
Also Nettle tea with licorice tea made together is good for breathing allergies.
Thank you so much for this information, it is so timely! Our daughter turns 17 today, and for three years she's been taking a generic form of singulair (montalucast). Earlier this month, our allergist has moved and we got a new doctor who informed us that singulair is considered a "black box" drug. I had to look up that term... it can cause depression, stress, and anxiety in teenagers... My out going, fun loving daughter has been struggling with all of those! I am so frustrated! I immediately purchased the capsule-it and the herbs. When she returns from Youth Camp tomorrow, she's starting herbal allergy capsules!😊. God Bless you from NE Florida!
Bless you for being such a proactive mom!!!! 💖💖💖
Montelukast can also give some children night terrors.
Well done & good luck to you
& your family! BIG PHARMA

Singulair messed with my sleep and caused me to sleep walk. I've been using Nettle for years for allergies and it works great! I buy them
at a health food store--Nature's Way Nettle Leaf.
What is the name of both Herbs🤔 From 🇬🇧
I wish there were good instructions for using the machine included with the item. Therefore, I really appreciate you demonstrating how it is to be used.Thank you, Carolyn
Turmeric is also AMAZING!
Used to cap my own olive leaf extract! Thanks👍🖖👋
Thank you so much for this! It's going on my to-get list. I've got nettle/raspberryleaf/peppermint/thyme tea I drink, but I can't get the kids to drink it. 😆 This will help so much with getting nettle in my allergy afflicted kiddos.
I put young nettle shoots in my kids smoothies😊
I powder all of these and put them in my husband's yogurt and although it turns it green, he doesn't mind it at all.
It's coming to Summer, what a good time to turn that tea into POPSICLES for the kids‼️
Have you tried it in smoothies? They probably won't notice :-) And how about in soups or food in general, wouldn't that work?
Iced teas
I ordered me the little pill maker and got the herbs and made them and I cannot tell you the difference that it has made in my allergies.
Going to have to look into this and many more. My family and I have had mold poisoning for the last 6 months since we moved to TN pushing to build out our homestead and assured there was no MOLD in our rental, Yet finally testing it ourselves and discovering we have been living in a MOLD RENTAL HOME. It got me bad being I slept in the worst concentrated room most nights our youngest slept with me in the same room and now I have a stutter and soo many other symptoms. If you have any suggestions or anyone else please please send them our way. Thanks for the awesome videos yall publish. ☺
I'm actually speaking to a mold detox specialist in a few days. I'll let you know what she recommends if you'd like...
@@sincerely-blet me know too if you would be curious
@@sincerely-b Oh that would be awesome. Kim has been doing alot of research and reading book after book. Its crazy so many things get misdiagnosed by western medicine and pumping full of pharma
I have been mold compromised also...I found that doing Doug Kaufman's antifungal diet is a good start, then rotating antifungal herbs about a month at a time for each one has helped tremendously over time. I use grapefruit seed extract, cinnamon, mct oil( from coconuts), garlic, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, caprylic acid(from coconuts) chlorophyll. I also take psyllium husk at night to help bind up the dying organisms poisons they release so that stuff doesn't recirculate making me feel crappy. Good. Luck! Molds and fungi love sugar....so be strict about abstaining from that! Remember...it akes time to kill all the pocket colonies they form I side you. Taking a good probiotic like Dr.O'Hiras has proven to help beak down the capsules fungi make to enclose their little colonies making them accessible to the herbs getting I'm and killing them!
@@marthasundquist5761 Thank you!!!
I've been using stinging nettle and honey. 600 mg of freezedried nettle and four tablets of local honey.
Y''all just rocked my world. I've been messing around with creating a power greens supplement out of powdered greens we've gathered around the place, and now I have the way to take them easily. That'd also be a great SOTS class.
What if Im already alergic to alfalfa? 🤔
This was a God send video for me. Have lots of nettle, an hay close buy.
Nettle worked incredibly well for my daughter and cleared up all of her symptoms in about a week with continued use. She even took less (about half as much) than the bottle recommeneded. After using it a few short years she no longer suffers from seasonal allergies at all and doesn't need to take the nettle anymore. I don't know why anyone takes allergy meds, I hate the way they make you feel and they don't work as well as nettle.
That's great!
Wow being reading learning. Just stinging nettle used to clear up allergies ? I’ve have to get some n try. May I asked exactly how you used the nettle…grinder n swallow or a tea???
@@pamelawilkinscool tea works. You can mix it with juice if you want.
@@granmabern5283 thank you
@@granmabern5283 Thank you
For grown up it is easy to wash it down with water or mix the powder in water and drink it.
Love this Carolyn. I have a similar capsule maker and use it to make turmeric capsules and charcoal capsules. I will have to order the alfalfa though so i can make these!
Nettle is a great replacement for spinach… if you have it around, with gloves pick the youngest leaves or stems, steam and quickly fry with butter.. and you are done.. very yummy
This was amazing... I would love if you could do a video on asmatha. Thanks for sharing your info
Asthma is a life threatening condition. It's advisable to only try herbal remedies while having the medicine on hand. A friend of mine has an asthmatic son who has found a lot of relief from mullein tea, because it is mucillagenous (coats the esophagus linings) and calms the respiratory system. It doesn't interfere with Albuterol inhalers, so you don't have to worry about interaction there.
I used to deal with asthma, but thankfully no more! It's been a healing journey with a good holistic doctor to help me. I made lifestyle and diet changes. Also, I avoid fragrance scented items as much as possible. Best to you. 🤗💕
I think I'll mix some in with my batch of switchel, since I drink that stuff daily, and it's all natural ingredients too.
This was exactly what I needed today - THANK YOU!
I am sorry...I just found your link! Keep up the good work! Always love watching your videos.
Alfalfa, nettle, and gelatin capsules. You can add crushed feverfew to calm sinus headaches too.
Nettle ,alfalfa,gelatin (halal)
I never even thought about making my own capsules...game changer.
I love watching your videos. Thank you for the information
I tried this and is helpful but way too many pills. Made an infused mtc oil. Now only need 2-4 capsules. Thanks for the information ❤
I squeeze fresh carrot juice every morning. I add one tablespoon ful of green powder to the juice and mix a little bit. I dry stinging nettles, asparagus, spinach in a freeze drier and when they are dry I grind them into powder in a vitamix. Even alpha alpha can go that way. No need for capsules.
They're convenient for those of us who don't prefer to consume them that way.
That's what I need to do because I have a hard time swallowing pills!
Capsules ok. Can be formulated in many forms. People differ. Today's lesson on capsules. Good
I use nettle as a tea :) works great!!
Wow, this was very educational! Thank you for sharing this.
I just have been meaning to restock nettle. Its growing like crazy here. Great video.
I cut out all gluten, and sugar and that did it for me. No more seasonal allergies.
So much truth to this! I cut grains & sugars and went almost full year without allergy/sinus issues

Thankyou so much !! I actually bought the little machine and just gave up on figuring it out!! This helped greatly!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this! I bought one of those a couple of months ago and have slowly been making my own capsules. This is one I'm definitely going to add to my collection! My kids are too young to swallow capsules yet so theirs are in glycerin because it's a little sweeter. I want to try my hand at gummies for them next. Please, more of these videos and recipes!! I love watching you!
These capsules would be great for traveling too, especially air travel.

Can we make a tea intead
Yes, more on how to make it here: homesteadingfamily.com/easy-home-remedy-for-allergies/
This sounds so wonderfull, right now, I have to take a 24 hr over the counter allergy medication daily. I really would love to try doing this. Thank you so much on sharing this
Honestly that's better than having to choke down 4 large herb capsules 3 times a day every day for months.
I use a fine mesh mini strainer to sift my powders before capping and it seems to work out pretty good.
UPDATE: it works! Nettle tincture is keeping away my ragweed allergies completely. I take just 3 drops every few hours 😊
Original comment:
Nettle is genuinely a miracle! I love this plant so much. Recently harvested some and made a Nettle tincture for the first time. My fall rag weed allergies can be completely managed with Nettle tea so I'm excited to see how the tincture preforms 🌱
What kind of nettle? Just leaves, or stalk too ?
@@cautious1343 Stinging Nettle. I used the leaves ☺️
@@RewiredforJoy how do you get rid of the stingers?
Boosting your gut with collagen peptides and Bone Broth and fermented foods will be a great way to prepare for allergy seasons. Does wonders for my reaction to Ragweed! If I need something early in the season I use Nettle and Sinus Calm (homeopathic remedy).
@@GG-dq6dx Those are great suggestions!
The company allergena makes a blend for every zone of weeds and trees etc to help allergies it’s amazing. You get the one for your Zone
Cool! Thanks for sharing 👍
Yes!! I love this stuff, started taking it last year and took it three times a day for a long time. Now I only take as needed, which hasn't been much! ❤
Stinging nettle, dead nettle or....? What form? Leaves? Seeds? Stems? Roots? I know with stinging nettle each of those plant parts is beneficial for different symptoms/conditions. I'm still learning so much, and appreciate your info.
She is referring to Stinging nettle. Most people that grow or forage use the leaves and dry them. If you order online it should tell you what part of the plant is being used. She said "cut & sifted' but that's not an indicator of which part was used.
The root is good for inflammation. The leaf for hay fever.

Thanks for sharing your herbal allergy remedy 😎 I have a smaller capsule machine, and it's very helpful.
This is interesting. Thank you. I grow a box of nettles and try to drink the tea regularly...I didnt get round to it enough this year and have had seasonal allergies so once done..this sounds like a good idea.
Alergi starts when level of vitamin D3 - (25 OH) is below 30 ng/ml, and alsow after vacsination.
My vit d levels are too high. Over 200. I haven't accepted a vaccine in decades. Yet I still have allergy/histamine issues. :(
Not at all. Allergies and vitamin deficiency are NOT linked.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! you are amazing! And THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video, and for this information! I am so excited as I've been using this supplement for 2 weeks. I see some changes in the way my sinuses usually react when I sneeze... there is a big difference just in these two weeks. I started sneezing every morning, which makes the nose runny and dripping. Yesterday I took 2 caps every two hours (during the day) and when I woke this morning, no sneezing😮 . I am so very grateful to you!🙂(((hugs))) especially since I'm canning and I use my back porch, outside and it's already 10am and I havent sneezed once
😀💕
That is amazing!
Nettle tea with raw honey is how we deal with allergies... it is very plentiful on our property!
Love this and can definitely use this information for my family. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
I suffer from congestion and a clogged left ear for quite awhile. I know that it isn’t hearing loss in the ear but nothing seems to get rid of it. Do you think this would help? Thank for for all the videos and information that you and your husband share! God bless! I hope that you and your little one are doing well.❤
The same thing is happening to me and the ear never clears no matter what I take..
Try homemade kefir milk, it has done wonders for me. I had this for years and surgery, meds, sprays but nothing helped til I did the kefir daily.
@@karenwalker4270 I don't know Annie this. How can I find out more about it?
I hate auto correct. I don't know anything about this
Really nice video..helps me inch my way forward out of the quagmire.. thanks for sharing ..I'm living in north london..uk.
@Carolyn, can you tell me which herbal medicine book you would recommend to someone who is just getting into this? I don't need a ton of detail, but would like to learn how to make tinctures teas and oils, and something with colored pictures would be a joy😊
@Carolyn, I am interested as well !!

My son missed 2 days of work because he was feeling awful due to his sinuses, i have stinging nettle root capsules that i bought for me, i read the benefits of stinging nettle root and i mentioned to him that it could help for his sinuses and allergies and started taking them, one capsules a day and in 2 days he was feeling so much better that he would come to my house just to drink his capsules on his own with out me nagging 😂 it worked with my allergies too, i highly recommended it, it did work for us❤
Caroline, thank you so much for this video! This is such a relief to find something so easy to make and better for the body than what is currently out there. Do you have any ideas like this for something like inflammation or celiac? I would love to see more videos on other easy homemade remedies like this. Thank you again!
I'm don't have celiac but bad IBS for decades. Going gluten free for 5 years didn't help much. Once I embraced the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) my excess weight just fell off (it was inflammation) and I could finally eat without pain. You can start with the book, "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" and there's also a lot of info online now. It includes some limited dairy but once I dropped that I no longer had any seasonal allergies and my constant sinus drip resolved. Dairy causes inflammation. It was daunting to start but after 2 weeks the change was so huge there was no going back. Totally changed my life.
@@GallieSallie thank you so much. I appreciate the info 😊
I use that capsule machine also. It is so easy and quick!
If these plants/herbs help with seasonal allergies, would they also work for (relatively mild) dust mite and/or cat allergy?
Can you do a video for what you would do for your kids with allergies? Btw love this so much, you’re wonderful. May Allah bless you
CAUTION: I have allergies and wanted to read up on this natural remedy but found a lot of reasons to be cautious with alfalfa: may cause or be harmful to those with lupus, may be a blood thinner as high in vitamin K and therefore take caution if you are on other blood thinners, may reduce how well birth control pills with estrogen work, may decrease blood sugar for diabetics which could cause too low blood sugar. Please do your homework yourself. Be safe.
Yes, let's all do our due diligence. The advice here is confusing for folks.
Here's the scoop:
Most green plants are high in Vit K, which is why doctors & nutritionists tell patients that are on Rx blood thinners, to keep their intake of these plants to a minimum.
Vit K acts as a blood clotting agent, and will counter act the purpose of the blood thinners. Although, the best advice given to my husband after his double heart valve replacement, was to rest as much greens as he wanted, but to be consistent in his consumption so that the regular testing one must have done, will accurately calculate the dosage of blood thinners.
I take extra Vit K because I bruise easily and often have such profuse and drawn out nose bleeds that they put a halt to my plans for the day. Vit K helps me go about my day free of nose bleeds.
Again, Alfalfa is high in Vit K. If you are on blood thinners, proceed with caution, and have your INR test done more frequently.
Yes, definitely read up.
This is not putting down or criticizing this information being given us in this video though.
To me, it's just a given to research into *any* health remedies especially those I will be putting into my body. I do the same for Rx the doctor recommends.
It's our own responsibility to check into remedies and such. We know our bodies and what health issues we're having.
** I appreciate there are people who will show us alternatives to over the counter meds. But there is no way they are going to know your own personal health history. **
So.
*Do your part and do the research and check if it will be safe for YOU.*
We have Google. It's a lot easier now to find information.
Isn't K for clotting?
Yes were sneezing more than ever so much chemical spraying in the environment and pollution. So Glad to see this
It's worth trying... my guy's allergies are so bad that no medicines help and I can't bring wild lettuce anywhere near my house. It's so hard to watch them grow and not be able to bring them in and dry them but that's what we do for love, right?
My adult son is soooo bad that on spring and autumn mornings, his eyes will be visibly swollen. He will sneeze endlessly. It's AWEFUL for him. I bought some nettle caps from amazon, and he took 3.... within 15 minutes, all signs of irritation were gone. Totally. He said he's NEVER had anything work like that. Now he carries a bottle with him in his car so no matter what, he knows he has them.
My allergies are the worst of anyone's I've ever met (pollen). I've been doing a salt and water nose rinse every morning (sometimes night as well), with a daily pill and two nose sprays (azelastine and Flonase). Works like a charm. I know this is an all natural channel, but if you guys are as bad as I am, it's worth sharing the combo that works for me while you search for the natural equivalent. Good luck!
Looks like a great natural remedy!
I wonder if this works because of the high level of quercetin in both but especially alfalfa?
Love quercetin it does wonders
THANK YOU! I have been searching for a remedy. I'm definitely going to give this a try ❤
That looks like such a handy capsule machine! We use local bee pollen for allergies too. 😊
