Hey everyone, lovely to have you here again and welcome if you are new here.. Hope you enjoy me talking all things nettle. Let me know in the comments below if you use nettle and how it works for you on your path! Don't forget to subscribe for more chats! I am hoping to get out and about very soon and take you to some places in the UK for walks and wandering! Much love and light, C xx
Here in Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Ocean our nettles grow to more than a foot and are super healthy and powerful I have been blessed by them for the past 60 plus years and have learned and developed many life promoting practices
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of nettle, this is wonderful to read and know how much it works with your energies. Blessings to you x
Yes native Americans used it for aching joints like back pain by stinging themselves with the leaves where the pain was and I also saw a video my Native American saying they used it for hair loss as well with a special infusion
Hi, thank you for your comment, that's really interesting to know. It's amazing how many uses plants have, just when we think we have covered many, another one appears.....thank you for sharing xx
thank you Nettles are a miracle super food and medicine. Highly nutritious. contraindication: Eat nettles when they are new growth before they crystallize their spikes. The mature plants are high in silica and long term wouldn’t be good for the kidneys.
hello! Very nice podcast. I've used Nettles for years, but oddly enough, I add it to my cough syrup for Spring and Fall colds because of the rich nutrients it provides. Unfortunately, where I used to live in Texas, USA, they don't grow everywhere, and not well in the heat or the poor soil where I lived. Now I live in France and it grows everywhere here. As we get closer to moving to a new property, I took note that it grows in abundance in the garden and can't wait to have my own personal crop of it to use fresh. I have heard about the recipes to cook it like spinach, but since I only had it available to me dried, I limited my use of it primarily as teas and tinctures. I enjoy the taste and often combined it with raspberry leaf when I had PMS cramps or alone as a tonic. I will refer to this particular podcast along with my few volumes of references I fortunately brought with me from the US. Thank you!
Hello! Thank you so much for you lovely comment, it's great to read the personal uses for plants. Love how you combine it! I hope you are enjoying France, have you been there long?
@@alchemicalserenity only 10 months 😊 I love it here though my spoken French is progressing slowly. People here are lovely. I have noticed how frequently herbs are used and readily sold as medicine in their whole form. But these are still regulated. For example in the US I could get tinctures of coptis chinensis for stomach issues but here, it is not allowed
@@alliep8946 it's the same here with regulations. When the UK was part of Europe we had the same problems, mind you, since Brexit I don't think we have moved forward at all. Brussels certainly locks everything down. At one point we weren't even allowed to call a Brussel Sprout vegetable by it's name, because if it wasn't actually grown in Brussels then it wasn't a Brussel Sprout! We all went, "What? Seriously?" and there were lots more too they tried to regulate If a cake had a town our county name like "bakewell tart" it wasn't allowed to be called it unless it was made in Bakewell town - it didn't work, we didn't listen, we didn't care - we left the EU!!! lol I did 6 years of French in school, through my German is a bit better. Have a lovely weekend, it's mothering Sunday for England this Sunday as our tradition is different to the rest of the world. Love and light x
😃 Happy to listening to you again, Carolyn! 😃 Since I'm not a seasoned practitioner, I'm still new to plant energy and herb magick, but I will learn about it some day. So thank you for this interesting topic! 😃 🤔 There are some urticae in my yard and every time I try to cut them their thorns make their job pretty well. 🤣Those urticae are the home of many insects as well as the grass that started to grow here even with its flowers! All that teaches me that there is no beauty in nature without wilderness, as much as the wilderness itself can nurture and can bring exuberance and bio-diversity! 😃 Stay great, my friend! Many blessings! 😃
Hello! Lovely to hear from you and thank you for listening in I appreciate it and your comments. We are all on different paths, if you had asked me about 5 year ago how much I worked with plant energy itself, it would have only been about 25%. But then I did some work in Glastonbury one day whilst visiting and from that point onwards plants, especially trees, were shouting at me to go deeper! I love that you don't necessarily want to work with plants, but are happy they are there looking atter the bio-diversity of our planet - that's also just as important. Love and light to you and have a great weekend xx
For one just simply stack a bunch of Nettle leaves on your cutting board and go over them with your rolling pin or with a serving spoon to soften the little stickers and then chop up fine with a good knife and eat as letuce or any other salad or add to your other salad leaves
Yes I also fell in the stinging nettle patch as a child in summer with bare legs and arms! Weirdly I kinda like getting a few stings now and again. I like the tingly feeling you get after the initial sting. I have got lots of seeds stored but when I put them in my tea I end up getting pain in my bladder....could I have stones?? Am I drinking too much in in too short a time, I have seen that you should drink it a little bit over a whole day. At the moment I am avoiding it due to my reaction. Anyone know..?

Nettles are a miracle super food and medicine. Highly nutritious.
contraindication: Eat nettles when they are new growth before they crystallize their spikes. The mature plants are high in silica and long term wouldn’t be good for the kidneys.

Couldn't agree more. We are so blessed with all these plants who want to help us! xx

@@alchemicalserenity 😃 Yes! Trees are so powerful!
Thank you and have a great weekend you too! 😃
I use stinging nettles daily in a ‘joint juice’ along with ginger and turmeric extract and orange juice. Work great coping with overall inflammation.
That's fantastic! And great to read it works for you. Plants amaze me! Thanks for sharing x
For one just simply stack a bunch of Nettle leaves on your cutting board and go over them with your rolling pin or with a serving spoon to soften the little stickers and then chop up fine with a good knife and eat as letuce or any other salad or add to your other salad leaves
Ohhh, I like that idea, thank you so much for sharing! Love & light, Carolyn x
You can also use the nettle sap itself to stop the sting
Thank you for sharing, I didn't know that. Much love and light xx
Can you please do a ‘How to’ on Comfrey? Thank you
ruclips.net/video/ARaYSmoqKdQ/видео.html - already have, there you go!
@@alchemicalserenity that links to chervil. I’m interested in Comfrey.

Leave this with me I will check with a friend who is actually a clinical herbalist here in the UK, and she what she says....bear with me xxx
