  • mountainroseher... There are so many different ways to use nettle and you'll probably learn some new ones with jim in this twenty five minute video. He'll teach you about nettle sting therapy and how he effectively used it for his own tendonitis. jim will share his secrets of raw spiced nettle treats and his favorite herbal combinations for nettle infusions. He also gives a great description of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how he likes to use nettle to help people who are stuck in their sympathetic nervous system state. Have you ever wondered when you should drink the infusion and when you should take the tincture? jim has a great answer to this! He'll also discuss how to use nettle seeds for kidney health, adrenal stress, and as an aphrodisiac. There's even a guest appearance by 7Song who discusses using nettle root for BPH and other prostate concerns.

    I love how Jim explains ssssooo much! 🤩 I had an accident in August and today -May 2nd- I still have a numbness and tingling sensation to the 4th and pinkie finger! Allopathic medicine takes ages and nobody was able to help me comprehend what is happening, so you actually saved me with this video! Thank you ❤

    Great video and I loved the wookalar reference. Anyone who has seen the movie "Private Eyes" would recognize it.

    • @herbcraft
      @herbcraft 10 лет назад +3

      so, trusting that you picked that up without googling it, you're the *FIRST* person to peg the wookalar reference in the probably 12 years I've been using it. And so, I'm gonna offer you a prize: send me along an email and I'll try and figure out what it's going to be (probably not single serve non-diary creamers; Howie Brounstein has already made that his trademark prize...)

    Really cool guy! I dig his attitude about nature and how it can be so healing to us.
    Reminds me a little of Mr. Green Deane from Eat the Weeds, which is one I enjoy watching on youtube. I will say that sometimes my hands and fingers get stiff so I tried the Nettle sting test and in no time they were "Normal" and that left me, HAPPY!

    When do people add water to their extract, I often see labels that say 80% ABV, I wonder if they water it down once extracted or add the filtered water during the extract process

    • @mountainroseherbs
      @mountainroseherbs  Год назад

      For our in-house extract production, we add in the filtered water during the extraction process! I'm sure there are different ways to add it in, but many herbs have both water soluble and alcohol soluble properties so you would want both in there the whole time :) I hope that helps! -Gracie

    eating older nettles creates a build up of calcium, it calcifies the body that can cause kidney failure.. but if nettle seeds fix kidneys it shows that in nature everything gets balanced out.

    • @herbcraft
      @herbcraft 8 лет назад +3

      the "eating older nettles can irritate/damage the kidneys" thing is often quoted but there's close to no hows or whys for this caution. Wild foods dude Sam Thayer says of the issue "The nettle question I have looked into some, and I believe that there is absolutely no basis for the belief that they should not be used for tea after flowering. I have seen no coherent explanation of the supposed problem, although I have frequently heard and read that somehow the cystoliths in the nettles cause cystoliths in the bladder/kidneys. I know of no evidence to support this idea; in fact, the proposed link does not even appear physiologically feasible. Mature nettle leaves contain structures called cystoliths: hardened calcium carbonate concretions. Stones in the urinary tract are also sometimes called cystoliths. However, these cystoliths are not the same thing at all; they differ in their composition, structure, and etiology (origination). Nettle cystoliths cannot somehow transfer to the kidneys and cause irritation-this is physiologically impossible. Increased levels of calcium in the blood might increase the likelihood of developing bladder/kidney stones, but the calcium in nettle cystoliths is absorbed little, if at all, anyways."
      I think Sam is correct that a big confounding thing here is some confusion between the botanical term cystolith is being confused with the medical term cystolith. At the very least, there's pretty much ~no~ actual detailed information to explain the mechanism by which nettle could irritate or damage the kidneys. Have you seen any?

    • @JackHernandezGentlemanJack
      @JackHernandezGentlemanJack 8 лет назад

      ***** I just explained, calcium deposits.. causes kidney damage

    • @herbcraft
      @herbcraft 8 лет назад +1

      calcium deposits = kidney damage isn't explanation enough to justify the statement that "nettles cause kidney failure". Cases to cite?

    • @herbcraft
      @herbcraft 8 лет назад +4

      okay, you're one of those.
      I'll say this to address the issue:
      It's my video, anyone watching can use the info within it to judge the value and depth of my knowledge. They can also look up info on my site, or stuff that's been published elsewhere. I say that "eating older nettles creates a build up of calcium, it calcifies the body that can cause kidney failure" is almost certainly an inaccurate statement. There's just really no concrete evidence to support it.
      UNLESS... you want to take the word of a youtube commenter whose citation is "knowledge gathered and stored in my brain", and who exemplifies the adolescent mentality of so many youtube commenters. If that's the case, by all means, save your kidneys and don't eat older nettles.

    Seeds contain everything the plant needs not just to grow, but to exist, it is Whole. So a Nettle Seed Tincture, would inherently contain the Entire Spectrum of the whole planet. They will contain these properties fresh or dried. Take this into consideration, as dried weight will hold more seeds.

    Everyone is different chemically. I've done this wadding up nettle leaves and eating them in Wilderness Awareness classes. I really disagree with this homeopathy stuff. Thinking we can handle nettles or get stung by bees to provide some immunity is just nutso. If anything, one that is sensitive to this stuff gets more sensitized. Called histamines? I love cooked nettles; like a more gritty spinach.

    • @herbcraft
      @herbcraft 5 лет назад +1

      no mention of any king of homeopathy anywhere in this video, and no where do I say or suggest that stinging yourself with nettle will cause any kind of "immunity" to nettle sting. But many people can and do "handle" nettles, and topical use (urtication) is a very very old practice.
      Gritty nettle probably is the result of cystoliths (mineral concretions) on the leaves. These are present on older leaves; younger leaves make for much nice eating.

      You're right, they can get quite invasive! But sometimes in life when the path gives you nettles, you have to make nettle pesto!
