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.

Jim McDonald and 7Song. Two amazing Herbalists.
We are huge fans of jim and 7Song here at Mountain Rose Herbs!
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 ❤
We're so glad you found this video helpful! 🌿
I absolutely love Mountain Rose Herb Company! Your products are the best and customer service is courteous and friendly. I have learned so much from these videos! Thank you!!
Jim. You are invigorating like a nettle, love it and very informative- thanks for the intro to 7song
Fab, really enjoyed watching this. Jim you're very engaging and inspiring, thank you! :D
Awesome. He's a great teacher.
great presentation. very informative and likable.
Thank you this was awesome I watched it while infusing herbs. Really I enjoy this so much.
Loved this. :) So interesting about the seed and I can't wait to try the fresh plant with some mustard. Thank you! Also You are hilarious
Marvellous lecture!
I Love sting nettles :)
I loved this video! Thanks for sharing
made a nettle and potato soup last week. Great herb for tea, etc
MOUNTAIN ROSE HERBS RULES!!!!
I would love to get nettle and other herbs
I am on alert 8:00 for the wookalar sometimes too!
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!
thanks!
loved it
I learned about a new herb today (: thank you! I 3 MRH!
What a FABULOUS VIDEO! He's so easy to understand and the analogies help incredibly! :D Checking out 7song's website and herbcrafter right now! :D
Great video and I loved the wookalar reference. Anyone who has seen the movie "Private Eyes" would recognize it.
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...)

Awesome!!!!!! I knew having Tim Conway as my favorite actor would pay off some day! First time I saw the movie was in the 80's when I was a teenager. I loved it and couldn't stop watching it.
Interesting video about nettles. Looking forward to learning more. :-)
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
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
Had no idea we could eat it. My friend has TONS of it.
Trying to perchase nettles , is hard ! I like to grow what I eat ?
Hehehe a blockade with fancy cars...I totally agree! Great video thanks for sharing =)
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.
That's a great point, Robin! Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
yes
...is an awesome band.
Anemone? I've not heard of this one but I need it...along with nettle. Anxiety and nervousness is driving me crazy. I miss my old chill self. Life stuff sort of messed it up.
info from 7Song: 7song.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Herbalists-View-Anemone-for-Panic-Attacks.pdf
Wookalar? What is that?
You're so cool, I loved your attitude and personality..you did a great job explaining on Nettles..I hope you'll do more videos on herbs and roots..Thank you for sharing this. :-)
thanks!

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.
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?
***** I just explained, calcium deposits.. causes kidney damage
calcium deposits = kidney damage isn't explanation enough to justify the statement that "nettles cause kidney failure". Cases to cite?
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.
***** You need to chill mate
what is the music from the beginning of the clip?
it's me playing a bamboo flute; soundcloud.com/jimmcdonald/huron-river-song

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.
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 need to come to England there is nothing but nettles I hate them if you go on a walk in the countryside you have to wear long trousers otherwise you'll get stung
You're right, they can get quite invasive! But sometimes in life when the path gives you nettles, you have to make nettle pesto!
