For me personally, I give all the glory and praise to the Most High, our Creator!!! HE knew and HE knows what all of His creations need in order to stay healthy and strong. It's the adversary who is trying to poison us all. It amazes me how people, not Doc Jones, give glory to a Big Bang. Stinging Nettle....amazing! Outside is our real farmacy! Thank you for this video Doc Jones.

I’m from Canada and our yard is full of them. My husband has allergies, so I started giving him nettle tincture before bed. I was shocked to notice within a couple of days he had quit snoring. He snored so loud it kept the house awake. I’m assuming his snoring was caused by allergies. That was a major bonus.

My great grandmother survived deportation to Siberia on stinging nettle…you can make soup with that or replace spinach in your salad

I used a nettle tea, multiple times a day, for a week to treat a UTI and then realized I had not had a cup of coffee for that entire week. Usually I would get severe migraines (from withdrawal) but this plant was revealed as a anti inflammatory also after I did more research. Definitely a fan of this plant!

At 42yo this has quickly become my new favorite plant. Not only is it nutritious and tasty, it's good for the ol' prostate 😂

If you know anybody who’s human and has a body. I love that. I had no nettles on our property so I bought some seed last fall. They wintered out in a flower pot and survived the winter and the critters. I now have four plants about a foot tall. I’ve already harvested some leaves for tea. My sister is human and has a body. I will share this with her. Thank you

It's in my homemade green powder, I sprinkle on literally everything I eat.

I started out investigating herbs for my stomach because my prescription caused a terrible kidney infection and nettle is one of the ingredients in my tea. I made sure I had recipes because as always you need to be careful and now I have numerous recipes that have been helping me with my health and I am 74 years old.

Thank you so much for putting the name of the herb in the title. I hate videos that tease with things like 'This is the cure for and then you watch half the video before you know what it is. It loves people 🤣

Stinging Nettles grows extremely easily too. Even easier than mint in my experience. Years back I dug up one from the woods and put it in a 3' x 1' wood planter. It easily filled the entire planter and out-competes any other weed. After winter it comes back on it's own each year. I only need to get some gloves and pull out some of the plants each year to give space for new growth to occur and throw in a little fresh dirt.

I emailed Doc Jones about what the heck to do with my accidental stinging tincture!
I tinctured it fresh and didn't let it wilt first. After 6 weeks I took it out of the jar and it stung me!! I'd preserved the sting! I coffee filtered it 5 times and I can still feel a zing in my tongue.

So anyway, topically feels fine, no sting. It works a treat on arthritic pain and even a fresh injury that's swelling. Reduces swelling and pain really fast! Get it on soon enough and you'll avoid bruising.
So far on a few friends the tincture lasts 5 days for joint pain.

I put it in my medicinal garden and forget for a minute until it gets me. I like the tea with a little lemon balm also.

I love hearing the laughter in the background when doc Jones makes a joke. Doc Jones really is funny. It makes us teaching more enjoyable

Cant' have enough from your teachings and suddenly you come up with funny clip, which makes me laugh and keeps an smile on my face for a while! I use stinging nettle in all our soups. so appreciate for all your teachings! Can't wait to take your entire course of herbalism. Am so passionate about all wild plants and we've using and eating them for 3 years. We no longer buy spinach or kale from stores, we eat those AMAZING wild plants and noticed so much difference, we are over 50yrs old and have minor aches here and there when eating the wrong foods but when eating these amazing foods, we feel better than ever! so we try our best to eat real foods daily.

I have been using Stinging Nettle on and off over a year. I have done alot of hand smacking with it for RA pain. It does help. I pressed my first Nettle Tincture today! So pleased! I am pretty new to all the plant foraging and being so greatful for what God has provided for us to heal. And for great teachers like you Dr Jones to educate us with your knowledge of the fabulous plant world.. I really appreciate your generosity. . 😊

Stinging Nettle seems to help my inflammation and arthritis. I love using natural herbs to improve my health.

[dfreak]

I actually planted some! It's doing great. I put some in the ground, so hopefully it grows. A lot of my comfrey died and my mints won't spread. 🤣

[normabussey]

I harvested nettles the last 2 seasons, so much gratitude for your teachings. The world is shifting back to beautiful, natural healing. 💜💜💜

Hello, l am in one of those white spots on the map, in Manitoba. Nettles are all over here, l pick them up for soups and tea, further north probably not everywhere, but very common as far a 400 km north of Winnipeg
