My iron levels have always been on the anemic side and I find that I crave the taste of nettle infusion! Love it. I also just harvested some young nettle to make compost tea for the garden.

Thanks for your comment. Happy the nettle is nourishing both you and the garden!

Great advice. I've used it before for my son's seasonal allergies with great results. Bought it organic frontier herbs in bulk. I need to get back to giving it to him daily.

Ever since I saw your first video 1 1/2 years ago, I fell in love with your teaching style. I've been making tea infusions to drink, for hair rinses, and facial toners for myself. QUESTION: AFTER AN 8 HOUR INFUSION, AM I ABLE TO REUSE THE HERBS FOR A SECOND INFUSION.

Wonderful teaching thank you

Welcome and thank you for watching. Enjoy your nettle.

I so enjoy your videos, and I would love to start a medicinal herb garden, and teach my daughter and grandson how to use herbs to heal themselves, but I have no idea where to even begin. 🙄

Hello Dinah, thanks for your comment. Yes, wonderful for you to start a medicinal herb garden to share with your daughter and grandson. If you like, you can begin with learning the wild plants that grow near you (my book Foraging & Feasting + this KZread channel will help with that) and also you can start by planting easy-to-grow plants like: lemon balm, mints, calendula, sage, oregano, hardy marjoram, thyme, and so on. Start small, if you need. Excited for you!

Yes, so sippidy dippidy! Nettle is power.

I actually feel that nettles can be more cooling.. It is interesting. It is a burn remedy and is also indicated in cases of hot inflamed irritated tissue/joints (much like the nettle rash). I feel that it is indeed stimulating but more of a cooling stimulant.

With plants though you know it can kust go either way sometimes 😆

Yes, I know what you mean: plants can go either way and nettle can be cooling. Still in my experience, it tends to be heating. Also dosage (how much a person consumes) and who is doing the consuming (the person's constitution and acute state) will influence the plants affects. Thank you for your comment.

Hello to you in South Kerala from the Hudson Valley of New York USA. Sure, leaves should stay fresh in the fridge for a few days. Roots are typically gathered after the aerial part goes dormant. Here is a video about that here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rIBqj8aigNi_dKg.html Not sure when that is for you in Kerala.....? Thanks for subscribing and please enjoy all the videos on the channel!

@@DinaFalconi your content is the best imo. It’s detailed but just the right length. Nettle tea has significantly improved my asthma. Thank you for teaching us how to use plant medicine to heal ourselves & others 🙏🏼 big gratitude. Do you offer an online course?

I hv some nettles growing 1-1/2 high that hv no seeds, even Now! I Petaluma California. Standing next to to tall seeded ones. Those work? 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

Sounds like you can harvest seed from the tall seeding ones, and greens from the new growth ones. Lucky you!

Thank you! Can you use fresh leaves and stems? Is it the same quantity if so?

Best to dry nettle for maximal water extraction; since drying breaks the cell walls and facilitates the release of the plant chemistry into the water.

Of course you can eat nettle fresh, and usually cooked, but for making infusions I think drying produces a stronger result.
