Our Heavenly Father thought of everything we need for our body 💗
He sure did, it's in the Bible.
I was out foraging nettle the other day and my knee hurt so I tried it. It only stung for a few minutes then the pain almost completely went away for a few hours. Needless to say I have stung myself a few times now. It's like eating spicy food, it burns but feels good🥴
I know that it helps with arthritis and joint pain.
I did not realize that it was growing in a certain area of my yard. Not knowing which team it'll look like I thought it was a non useful plant. AKA: weed.
As I went to pull the plant up out of the ground of course I got STUNG!!!!
In turn I took a closer look so I could identify it.
Due to having to go somewhere within an hour of time I just left everything alone.
I have been having arthritis problems with my hand and at the end of the day it dawned on me that I had been pain free all day from the time I had touched the plant.
Since that moment I have been trying to learn more about it so I can try and help others.
My introduction to nettles was when I moved to Idaho. I was bird hunting with a friend when I waded into a large stand of plants. I was wearing a T-shirt. My friend looked at me in horror, I couldn’t understand what was wrong. He explained to me I was standing in stinging nettles. For some reason they didn’t effect me. I saw nettle root supplements and investigated, now they use the whole plant. I take capsules twice a day.
I knew of a man who had really horrible arthritis and would use a certain scorpion type to sting him every few months in order to control his arthritis. He said he'd never felt better since he began putting up with arthritis by using the scorpions to help him. He just happened to have been stung by one while in his bare feet and said a couple days later his arthritis was nearly completely gone. So he tested the theory that it may've helped by collecting one and allowing it to sting him. It worked like a charm for a few months.
I add fresh nettles to eggs in the morning. Yummo!
Excellent! I have been feeling challenged health wise recently, and remembered eating NETTLES 50 years ago while living in the forest, and foraging mushrooms and other wild foods. I now live in the desert, so haven’t really thought about harvesting nettles, But found dry nettle leaves at local Food Coop and began making nettle tea. It has made a huge difference, My love affair with nettles has been renewed. Looking forward to your E-book. Thanks so much.
What an excellent video! It couldn't come at a better time. I've been dealing with terrible arthritis in my neck and I'm pre-diabetic. What's really crazy is I have stinging nettle capsules in my cabinet and I forgot about them!!! 🙄 I will definitely be taking them now!!!
Where does one get Stinging nettle in pill form.
I got mine from Vitamin Shoppe.
If you drink any diet drinks or energy drinks, stop! Tbey wreck your blood sugar and send it into metabolic syndrome.
Can you give us an update? Have you felt better ? Thanks
Not pill form but I know where to get high quality extract.@@jonhawkins7510
I never knew they were good in any way! I thought they were my arch nemesis that wouldn’t die. Turns out my front, side & backyard are filled with something awesome! I will now use my ex-enemy for the benefit of my family! Thank you for your video- wish I would’ve found it sooner 🥰
I love mixing my teas. Favourite is Nettle, Dandelion leaf with a little fine liquorice root as a sweetener.
..if I can, all herbal teas if cooked, should be cooked in a glass pot (vision glass wear) NEVER metal pots because the herb will react to the metal (oxidation(?) ). Also if you drink nettle tea you should stop drinking coffee
Stinging nettle is awesome. I fry it with coconut oil, garlic and other greens.
Been using it for years for allergies, works better than anything else. Good to learn of it's other benefits!
How do you consume it for allergies?
This tea has definitely lessened my bloated stomach and I am sleeping better. I am unable to get fresh nettles, so I am drinking a cup of nettle tea daily.
My cousin got eczema and it's very frustating for him. The rash even start to appear on his face. It's just drop his confidence. The medicine from the doctors didn't help. Finally, he start to eat organic food, drink stinging nettle tea and consume moringa powder. Less than a year the eczema and even the allergic to processed food is gone. Health is very presious.
Edit: I forgot to mention the bitter leave.
What’s bitter leaf? Is it the same as Nigerian bitter leaf.
@@abimbolatevi8533 I think it's different. Some people called it king of bitter . The scientific name is Andrographis paniculata.
Its great to hear you're cousin is feeling better🙏😊
@@honeybee2356 thank you 😊🙏
@@elpanderohabanero2915 waow nice. How to turn it into cream? Yes, after drinking the tea, usually we also rub the skin with leftover leaves from the tea.
Hi there! You just now popped up on my you tube page! I have two HUGE patches of Stinging Nettle on my property. I am trying to get into the uses of it. I cut some the other day and its drying to try making tea with...
Stinging nettles are one of my favorite herbs/vegetables. I use it for everything. We make a lot of food with it during spring, I dry it for tea and I make a wonderful white wine with it too. 💕💕 Nettles
How do you make wine with it? Where can I find that recipe?
@@vinceaiello3163 if you are an experienced wine maker you can use the recipe in “Drink your own garden” by Judith Glover. It’s available on kindle and you can find copies on eBay as well. All other places it’s very expensive. The reason I say you have to be experienced, is that JG doesn’t add many instructions and measurements like gravity in her recipes. Otherwise they are great. There are also recipes for it online
Wow!
Thanks Rosalie for all this great info. I've been using nettle tea a few times per week but will now do it daily and see what happens. I'm on a sugar free low carb diet also which is helping my rheumatoid arthritis. Cheers
Love all your info!
14:36 #2 wait it out.. I'm so glad you mention this. Getting people to understand the body wants to adjust, cleanse, adapt is challenging, and often, they'll give up too soon for a little temporary discomfort. Blessings 🙌✨️
I’ve always known stinging nettles are edible but never gave them a try. My daughter has been getting interested in foraging. Looks like stinging nettle is on the menu this week. Thanks for all the helpful information.
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you , loved it !
Thank you dear Rosalee 💛💛💛
Nettes growing in the wild I’ve seen them over eight feet tall. These plants can really get big if they are near a water source. Like a river or stream.
Awesome video very informative thank you
Awesome! I never knew any of this!!! Thank-you!!!
Thank you Rosalee for all the Super info🌿💗🌿
I LOVE YOUR BOOK
Thankyou for sharing, very interesting.
Lovely thank you ❤️🍀
Thank you for this post! I want to learn about herbs. Thank you for the free ebook!
Absolutely brilliant information. Thank you so much!!
Never tried this yet! Wow.
Great channel!!!
Very informational, thank you so much!!!
I just made a vegetable soup (ribollita) and not having any kale (cavolo nero) I used what I could forage: mallow and nettles along with normal white cabbage that I had on hand. Yum. Nettles are one of my favorite foods, I have been foraging nettles for 40 years having been introduced to nettles by my Italian friends back in 1976. I cultivated a patch for years and every time I moved, I started another patch. I have now finally gotten a patch started here on Leros Island, Greece, having learned when and where to get them going (I discovered them growing really well in the "manure pile" of my neighbor goat herder!!) I was pleased as punch that I now can have them fresh at least part of the year (they die back during our harsh summer weather, but come back!) . I love nettles in Fritattas and make a garlic nettles risotto. I also just blanch them, toss them with very very lightly sauteed garlic and LOTS of EV olive oil. Thank you for this indepth "study" on stinging nettles!
Your soup, frittatas, and risotto all sound delightful! YUMMY!!! Thank you for the nettle inspiration.

@@HerbsWithRosalee I was warned by someone some years back that nettles might not be the best thing to eat during menopause, but I can't remember why!! Maybe Rosealee could shed some light on this issue. If I want to relax and learn, I watch these wonderful, calming and informative podcasts! Thank you!
Great information as always! Thanks, Rosalee
Excellent video, Rosalee, danke. I am an old woman from Germany living in ME. and my mother, who was an herbalist, died a healthy 100 years old. She never used aspirin, or any painkillers. We ate nettles like spinach with eggs. I have a very difficult time here in US finding nettles. I found some a few years ago on a private property and dug them up. They are growing now in my garden, but not nearly enough for my needs. To me they are more precious than the most beautiful rose especially since I have bad arthritis in my knees. I do rub them with the nettles - but what will I do in the winter? Btw. the seeds are extremely healthy as well - who needs expensive chia seeds?
Loved reading your comment, made me want to tell you that taking nettle capsules has helped my severe arthritis (knees, too). You can but it online in most herbal companies. Cheers
You can freeze them no?
@@loverainodie I suppose so, but I wonder how that affects the outward healing properties for arthritis. Of course I dry them for tea. I have the first nettles growing and I already rubbed them in my awfully sore arthritic knee. In Germany there are areas of nettles left alone just for old people to go in and get stung, sort of a spring ritual along with making the spring cure with little wild herbs and flowers like violets, dandelions, etc.
@@weissblau I thought you meant internal use. I'm here as my mum has RA and I wanted to know more how to help - so thank you that's interesting
@@loverainodie Bless you for being a good daughter. Both internal and external uses are beneficial. Another thing that helps are beestings, they helped me. Research it for best results and best wishes to you and Mum.
Love your name 'of the forest', very appropriate.
Thanks for sharing! I will try to use this nettle herbal!
I just came from a new friends farm and what did I bring home? A basketful of nettles! Wow! Cant wait to learn more🥰
Awesome, enjoy!
Thank You 🥰💞💖
You are so fascinating!!!
Thank you for sharing this. It is an answer to my prayers.
I’m so happy I found your channel!
Welcome!!
THANK YOU HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE HELPFUL.
I make it into a iced tea!! I pick nettle leafs, raspberry leafs, dandelion leafs, CERTAIN pine needles, chamomile, and organic honey. Me and the kids are IN LOVE with the tea. 🥰
That sounds nice and healthy 😊
@@billyhopkins5145 also very refreshing, and delicious. :)
Sounds like a great tonic.👍
I'm going to try it by making iced tea. Thanks for letting us know your method.
@@tandrahill302 make sure you don't boil it for very long at all! You'd break a part all the goodies the plants have! I bring it to boil, then let it steep till it's cooled off quiet a bit. By then it's pretty dark. Then I filter out the pulp, and what ever is left in my tea pitcher, I fill it up the rest of the way with water. :) I'm glad to have helped. It's amazing stuff for you, and is the best iced tea I've ever had.
Thank you so much ,you are an absolute star ,look forward to seeing more of your videos .😲
Awesome video.. thank you 😊
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for your brilliant expertise and knowledge, 👍👍❤️
Thank u, great information.
🙏👏👍☘️
Made my first tea today
Wow love your presentation.. thank you from East Africa
I had my first attempt at picking, drying and making nettle soup. It was delicious. I have heard though that nettles shouldn't be used once they come into flower because they can be damaging to the kidneys (maybe more calcium is present).
The boreal herbal wild food and medicine plants of the north by Beverly Grey also mentions that once the nettle enters flowering and seed- setting stages, the old leaves develop gritty particles called "cystoliths" that can irritate the urinary tract if eaten or ingested as a tea.
You are a very good teacher.Thank you very much darling.
Thank you so much for this interesting video. God bless you 🙏
Awesome 👍 thanks so much❤️
You are so welcome
Good information and well presented.
Thank you!
Excellent video, thanks.
Tres intéressant.
Merci!
I love nettle tea
i have Wild Remedies in my bathroom and regularly read in it.
Stinging Nettle is the herb I am studying now so this vid is very timely. It’s a good one, as always. Thank you so much.
Hey, need help about more info on stinging nettles in India.
Great information. I'm going to increase my nettle intact starting now! I also give it to my dog. Thanks.
I enjoy nettle tea.
It growths everywhere in england
I pick nettle every single morning and eat it daily. Never miss a day.
I love your videos.
Rosalee, I live in the northwest part of the country......Oregon and Washington . Is east coast better than west coast for herb varieties? 🙃
Awesome vid :)
I can tell you brushed against my troublesome arthritis actually goes somewhere else I can now get playing my guitar again it just bloody works truelly
Wow thank you so much for this valuable info. New subscriber
Glad it was helpful!
I have a strange hypothesis to ask, I was out in a rare Sunwave here in Belfast Northern Ireland on a sunlounger and without shifting, the chair tipped and I realised I was Rolling into the rewilding nettles and it was a rough rough Night. Yet here is my strange findings, I have reduced fatigue, and improved stamina and endurance. Now I am not about to repeat the process, yet I seem to have received a transformative dose of stinging nettle's benefits. I will ask a friend or TH-cam for help to turn this large portion of nettles into juices. x!
Did you try it again? " I gots to know"
I am so excited since I recently found a plant to purchase! I had it in my garden when I lived in VA over 20 years ago. And I loved drinking the tea throughout the spring.
Thank you for all your information, 💚💜👏👏
You are so welcome!
Thanks! I've been armchair learning about herbs for several years now and believe if I chose only ten or so herbs to learn very well that stinging nettles would be one of them. I simply want to mention that in Matthew Wood's The Book of Herbal Wisdom that nettles were used to make cloths, rope and netting. And, that the linen is of the finest quality found in burial sites in the steppes of western China that are over 2000 years old in perfect condition. During WWII the Germans' uniforms were made of nettle and are still in perfect shape. I think stinging nettles can be grown on a mass scale, many business opportunities...
Drawback to commercialization - it has to be dried before processing - cost ineffective
@@markgrabowski8662 Well, it seems like the Germans found a way.
Hemp has been an industrial grown crop a century ago, rope for sailing ships , linens, modern uses include ,car body strength alternative to fibreglass, linen, construction materials. It's been tried and promoted in Saskatchewan but as usual, big established Corp. throw stumbling blocks into the competition.Oil industry, rope and auto body panels became industry standards.
I am in love with Nettles! Thank you so much for making these informative and inspiring videos. Your energy and enthusiasm is contageous!!
Blessings from Sindh Pakistan
Thank you. I enjoyed the information. I will use it. It rpbably grows here.
Thank u ever so much it benefit me I never trie be fore now I will have ago
Thank you. Well done. I learned most about Stinging Nettles from Dr Duke’s marvelous home patch that anyone could come and harvest. He encouraged experimentation with ourselves as our own laboratory.
Where can we buy your book? Cause we live in South Africa.
I love nettle, I use like tea, like juice, put in flour makes chupati , makes, spinach mix nettle, I use different methods from long long time.
It was a lot,but you were organized,direct,and to the point. Glad I watched .
I lightly sting myself on the back of my hands, once a week, which stops my hay fever & rhinitis all through summer..I used to suffer badly before using nettles, I’ll make tea & soup from them soon..
Just discovered you & very grateful.Subbed and signed up with email.Thank you
Great video! We love eating nettle with our meals! and making tea! It tastes so amazing and the earthiness of the tea yum!
I like what you are saying and I have to confront my ego and get going with nettle.
I use it in tea daily, also just made a tincture, have made Spatzels as well as just cook it with olive oil and dandelion greens as a side dish.
Yes! Thank you so much for this information. I think we have nettle growing in our yard, but I am not totally sure. Seems like what we have has a lot more scary looking needles....I better get your book and see an illustration . One thing I have to say, I appreciate your voice and I don't think I heard even one "Ummm" or other word whisker!! Amazing! So refreshing. I subscribed and am off to watch the rest of your videos.
I just got stung by one my mom said it helps so I watch this and it helped a lot tysm!
Thanks, lots of great information. I appreciate it, 🤗🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I blend nettle leaves, aloe vera and mint and/or oregano. I then strain the mixture and mix will coconut oil and various organics like thyme oil, camphor and tea tree oil. It makes a great rub for arthritis and rheumatism that doesn't prevent cartilage regeneration.
Wow Ron. That sounds amazing! I might just try that but I will put my own spin to it. Thanks for posting. Our Creator is wonderful!
I love Nettle for seasonal allergies and itchiness! Also, love growing it and cooking with it. :)
Thank you for interesting video for how long you can use nettle leaves in capsules thanks in advance
I appreciate so much your explanations, especially your clear voice and showing captions! Thanks a lots!
Glad it was helpful!
awesome video thank you.... fried with garlic, butter, pepper and salt
Loved this. I have always had a fascination to herbs especially for medicinal. This was a great video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I use it as a tea and a pot herb, it also get sauted in a mix of domestic and wild greens
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome!
I like the explanation, stinging nettle many people ignore it because they don't know what it's used for
My mother made wonderful nettle soups. Delicious and noutritious.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. What a great contribution.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the added knowledge of this plant. It used to be my enemy cause it stings me
I have helped a large prostate I had and also my hair has stopped receding as well this is with nettle root.
Great information! We start our spring season with TNT. Each morning we have Toast, Nettle, and Tea. A very good combination.
We just moved to 2 acres of land, and I'm pretty sure I've found quite a bit of nettle growing on it. My husband is concerned about me just picking a wild plant and eating though. But I have both your books, so I'm pretty confident, I'm right. Also, my allergies are beyond horrible, so I really want to start using nettle.
It's always good to consult multiple sources when identifying a plant for the first time. The thing with nettle is that it has key ID qualities, opposite toothed leaves, square hollow stem, etc. But also that it stings!
I’m kinda scared myself
Hi Stacy, it sounds like what 'peter rabbit might do' 😯🤭💕
You’ll be amazed how nettles take away seasonal allergies. My wife, a medical doctor, is now a believer. I steam the top, tender portion of the plant, purée it and save some in the fridge and freeze the rest in ice cube tray or small containers. After frozen you can empty them into a gallon plastic bag. We use them in smoothies and add to soups.
