Thank you soooo much for sharing this educational info! I subbed immediately! I also shared with just a few friends who appreciate a knowledgeable human as much as I do. Looking forward to bringing your vidz! 🙏🤗🤗💚
That’s so kind I started doing the vids aFter spending hours searching for “all” the info I needed. So thought it important to share what I’ve learnt. Incase anyone else was searching with me xx
Pleasure lovely. I did notice this info was omitted from most of the info I’ve come across But it’s quite an important one to know. I only came across it as I use nettles a lot in my cooking We have someone who suffers from kidney stones and calcium absorption issues. So I did thorough research first Happy foraging
Is it true that in the UK your nettles have male and female plants? I've found in northern NY state our sun loving nettles have both male and female on the same plant. I started harvesting flowers when I came across the correct information and waited for the seeds to develope. Which is happening now. Ever couple days I'll harvest the laden, well develope seed pods. I leave them out for a day and then bring them in and place on a window screen over a collection box. The seeds are so tiny they fall through the screen! I gently stir them with a spatula shaped pice of wood. I have not been to the forest lately to see what the woods nettles are doing. Can't wait to get out and see how my ginseng patchs are doing. Lots of nettles there.
@@timothylongmore7325 I couldn’t say that it never happens. But in the almost 15 years I’ve been foraging nettles I am yet to find a nettle plant with both. It have found each stalk to either be one or the other. However as the grow in masses it could be possible that one plant had both a male stalk and a female. I leave a section of my garden behind my greenhouse for the nettles to do their thing so I can ensure they’ve not been sprayed as cannot really trust list of unsprayed areas released by our local council. Our local park is listed as unsprayed but I’ve personally seen them doing it for the past 5 years So my harvests are smaller but safe and sufficient for my needs ❤️
Im glad you are NOT a doctor They work for the big pharma companies Instead people like yourself and many others work for the people’s well-being This planet was set up with all what we needed to thrive The more I dig into herbalism myself the more I understand that. And how marvellous each plant is, often having many uses Big fan of nettles although firstly year collecting seeds, got three massive drying racks and that’s just only a touch in the garden Nature is supporting until is our time to reincarnate somewhere else Many thanks for this video ❤
Thank you so much. And you’re so right about nature I grow many “wild” edibles and medicinals in my garden by harvesting seeds and spreading the seeds. From echinacea for immune boosting to valerian for mental well being. I developed a horrible chest infection and cough earlier this year and out of nowhere coltfoot and a giant mullein plant popped up in my garden which I use to ease the symptoms As it’s their first year the mullein should not have flowered but when my daughter got an ear infection which didn’t ease after a week of antibiotics then 5 huge spears of flowers appeared. So I made an oil infusion with the flowers. And her ear infection was gone in 2 days. 🥰. I’m doing a video on the oil and tincture today 🥰. Thank you again for the kind words and keep researching
Wish I saw this before going picking. Thumb & finger still throbbing a day after. Tried pulling seeds off the stem straight away & not dry. Serves me right for looking at an Instagram vid instead of proper research 🤦♂️.
Ooh ouch. Bless ya but we have all been there 🤦 if there are any nettles that are not seeding., try making a tea with a few of the tips. The internal antihistamine effects seem to work quicker than a topical application of plantain or doc I always double check anything o see on instagram 🤣
Thanks for the feedback. It’s good to know there’s people out there it’s helping So far as purchasing, I found it hard to find a supplier of acceptable quality or price. Much easier to find a suitable site where they grow (no chemicals or pets spraying) and harvest my own if you’d like to contact me on Facebook “Carly furlonger”. Il happily send you some till you’re able to harvest your own. I grow them at home now so I can control their environment
@@theherbothecarynaturalheal318 I live in a apartment in Tx facing east can I still plant them in plant soil , do they like bright sunlight I don’t have Facebook but would love to buy from you do you have instagram, Or Etsy ?
Hi Thanks so much for the nice video. Could you explain more about using wine with them.... maybe even in another video :) I'd never heard of that! Heard of vodka and even vinegar but never wine! I get Port Wine really easy where I'm at :)
I will definitely do a video on it this week. It basically boils down to water, alcohol or oil soluble aspects of the plant. So we usually cover all bases Although usually a vodka is used. I prefer a decent wine for both taste and efficacy
I pop a teaspoon (5ml one) in a litre green smoothie and drink throughout the morning Advice says anything over 30g or taking after 4pm is likely to keep you up all night. It is a potent stimulant. But a spoon full daily works for me
Don’t eat the leaves once they’ve started seeding. I have 2 patches in my garden. One I allow to go to seed and the other I mow back every couple of weeks so new shoots grow and I can harvest the Young tips Hope this answers your question
The seeds that you say are not drooping are in fact flowers on the male plant which you do not want to pick or consume. This is basic knowledge. Why do you think you have the know how to make a video like this.
@@OneSomebody1 I am fully aware they’re the flowers. As I am fully aware that you’re clearly an unpleasant person. If you had taken a second to read some of the comments you would have realised that many people did not know not to consume the leaves a plant that is in flower /seed. So the phrase if you have nothing nice to say is obviously lost on you. Clearly my posts are not for you. So kindly and abruptly MOVE ALONG !!!
@@OneSomebody1 I am happy for you. I have rewatched my video twice. Other than referring to them as lateral lying seeds that aren’t ready What other information is so incorrect ? I make it clear that the rest of the plant should not be consumed once they’ve reached this stage. And that only the drooping seeds are suitable. This is the first time I have felt the need to comment back to a comment like this
A wonderful calm voice with a very informative video. Thank you!
Thank you so much I’m glad you enjoyed the video I will admit I’m not a fan of my voice. But the info is important. So I cope 🤣

Thanks for sharing I didn’t know you can eat the seeds are there any that you recommend to buy ?

So you put the seeds in the capsules?
Yep. I get them off amazon. Il add the link. All the excess gets hidden in smoothies. Yoghurts and dinners

Do nettle seeds increase testosterone or affect estrogen? I want to be careful with possible hormone affects.
I believe the root has been used to help with impotence but not sure about estrogen. However if pregnant. Or trying I alway advise caution
How much should we consume a day?
I pop a teaspoon (5ml one) in a litre green smoothie and drink throughout the morning Advice says anything over 30g or taking after 4pm is likely to keep you up all night. It is a potent stimulant. But a spoon full daily works for me
OK, so did you say don’t eat the nettles after they have started seeding?
