Top Comments of this video!! :3
I met a woman years ago in a book shop who absolutely vibrated with energy. Her eyes were super white, her skin glowed, her hair was spectacular... I know this may sound crazy but it's 100% true. It was so obvious I was compelled to say something, ask her 'her secret' or whatever... I didn't want to seem weird but I had to talk to her so I said 'Excuse me, your hair looks so healthy and vibrant - what do you use?" Unbelievably, she said she hadn't used shampoo for years, all she ever put on her hair was a strong tea of stinging nettles! Turns out she drank stinging nettles tea, ate nettle leaves, soaked in a tub of boiled nettles after dry brushing, rinsed her hair and gargled with stinging nettles! She called it her magic friend. So glad I found your video - I'd sort of forgotten about these wonderful plants! ❤️ I'm getting stinging nettle tea tomorrow...

I grow stinging nettle in a pot here in Florida and use it regularly. One thing I do is whenever I have a painful arthritic flareup in my thumb, I go and sting the area. The first time I did this for a couple of months whenever I had a flareup, and then I realized that I stopped having flareups all together, for years. Rarely, do I get a flare up now and it’s easily been over 10 years since I did this.

As a British guy I must admit I did chuckle to myself when he said "there's never a time when I see stinging nettles and I'm not really excited".
He'd be in a constant state of euphoria almost anywhere in the UK! They are very widespead here and generally regarded as a pest. There are nettles growing 6ft tall right accross the road from me, for weeks I've been wishing somebody would strim them down, but now, as a life long hay fever sufferer, I am seeing them in an entirely new light. Thank you for this.

I hope you know how much I appreciate your channel. I used to be a pharmacy technician and I left my job in order to get a more rewarding job. I got a great job at my church here in Seattle where I helped run the kitchen where we fed hundreds of people who were in need of a good meal five days a week. I was just crossing the street and I was hit by a distracted driver and I was rushed to the hospital and I was in a coma for three weeks and I was only given a five percent chance of survival and I am so thankful that I am now able to get back in the gym again and I workout three times a week. Thank you for your post and I will be looking for you next video. I hope you have a great week ahead and I love the nettle tea. Thank you so much for sharing your positive energy 👍🍀

As a teenager (I'm 63), I used to pick the wee leaves to make tea and the larger leaves for a hair rinse that leaves your hair shining. If you quickly & firmly take hold of the leaves they don't sting. Very charming young man with a real enthusiasm for his subject that leaves you wanting to learn more from him. Thank you.😊

At the time of writing this, I'm 35, I grew up in the UK and when I was 5 or 6 I have a memory of "Old people" making nettle tea and nettle jellies etc and us kids were all "Yuck" as we just associated nettles with stinging.
Remarkable how much natural medicine has been forgotten as generations change.
This video is 4 years old and I'm late to the party but thank you for this!

In my country, Bosnia, southeastern Europe, we eat these stinging nettles only during the spring time, like march, april, when they are growing, and are considered young and juicy. We pick them up fresh, they grow everywhere, so usually we go to some place where there is no car traffic, so we ensure they are clean, we eat them for breakfest, like out them in some butter and pan, and crack eggs over it, we also make like spinach type dish, we also put them in cornflour and make cornbread with them, we can make pie of it. They are really healthy and tasty, ive been told as a kid that they have alot of iron and will give me strength thats why i ate them always, i was told this by my grammas. Usually when they grow big, people dry them and make tea of them. And of course, folks pick them to scare the children to discipline them lol. That is the use of stinging nettle in my country. Also they remind me when they blossom ans grow tall, they remind me of weed or marijuana. I know marijuana is kind of prahistoric plant, because of male and female ones.i beleive also that nettle is like a fossil, survived millions of years here. It just gives me that old ancient vibe. Great plant all in all.

I used to rub it on my arms before school and would get sent home for the day. The rash would only last about 2 hours. Mom finally caught me grabbing it from yard next door lol good times.
