- Join me (Herbal Jedi) in a deep dive into Stinging Nettles and learning how to harvest and use this healing plant as food and medicine.
Nettles are known for their stinging hairs that can cause skin irritation, but they are also one of the most important spring greens we can find in the natural world. Once harvested, nettles can be cooked or steamed to remove the sting and added to soups, teas, pesto, or as a substitute for spinach in recipes.
The health benefits of consuming nettles are numerous as they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds.
Let us know in the comments if this is a plant you have connected with, and how you like to work with stinging nettles.

This guy should do a kids show for plants. 😊
❤yes
😊
Or even a plant show for kids?
Not sure plants would be interested in a show about kids...
Wow, I never thought I'd see someone who loves nettle more than me. Beautiful
Yay! My brother returns! Just in time cuz we really need your heart in the world!
I swear by Stinging Nettle for seasonal allergies. I used to really suffer during allergy season but after drinking 1 or 2 cups of Stinging Nettle tea a day early on in the season I haven't had to take allergy medicine in about 5 years. I usually buy a pound bag from amazon that lasts me a very long time.
Wow that’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Loved your video on CZcams today! I used to drink nettle tea everyday and I loved the flavour! But alas eventually I stopped drinking my nettle tea ( ready made teabags)
Time I started to have my nettle tea on a daily basis again - you've inspired me!!!
When my mum left my dad she didn't have much money and relied on nettles for eating on a regular basis which she used to go out and pick herself!!
Loved your video very much...... thank you for sharing your plant wisdom!!
That combined with Mullein worked well for my congestion. Nettle for the sinus and mullein for the chest. Opens everything up. Whether as a tincture or as supplements, it works
I couldn't imagine having to get stinging nettle from Amazon. This makes me feel blessed for living in the heart of nature.
woooh that is cool
I make soup and salve with fresh nettle here in the UK. The seeds I dry out and add to salads or bake in bread. Great info, thank you for sharing. 🌱
Highly recommend mixing it with black tea, 1 gram dried nettle to 2 grams of tea with milk.
Awww, I really enjoyed this video. I use nettles here in England ( I’m an American transplanted here, so I had to learn). I found that nettle mixed with peppermint 50/50 makes a nice tea and you can even add milk and it won’t curdle. I have an allotment garden so I have a ready source for both. I also make nettle quiche….an old war time standby here in England. Next job is to make some nettle powder and use it in stews, kefir smoothies, sprinkled over salads, etc….btw, I LOVE your vest. I must look into that type clothing!! Thx again for an entertaining 15 min. I sing to my plants and garden, too. 🎵😊
Great info I collect nettles dry them ( hung in bunches under trees) then either chop or grind them for cooking or teas. Fab info thank you !🙏🏽🎶
Could you please tell me if it is a hard move to make, living in England? My father’s family is from there, I find the place fascinating though I’ve never been there.
@@florachildressEarth2Flo We moved with a 6 and 4 yr old back in 1988 …36 yrs ago. And it was blooming hard, really hard! I cried on the airplane the whole way. Leaving family and all my friends behind was the hardest. Houses are SMALL, no closet space, and a lot of street parking, ( no driveway) unless you have a bigger budget than we did. The NHS is compromised right now, and leadership of the country is up in the air. I did not become a citizen until 2018, …I am retired now and life is ok. But I have spent 15 years trying to get back to the USA. My Brit hubby won’t go, even with our daughter now in Florida, married. Now we are thinking of retiring in northwest Ireland because our best friends have left England. Home is where the heart is.
@@lesliebeaumont9512 thank you for sharing your story Leslie, it sounds so wonderful that you got to live in England, I’m sure it was very difficult for you being so far away from home! You have probably been there longer than in USA, I’m thinking you may be about 60ish? Anyway, I’m 67% European, which I knew my dads family was from England, they probably came over on the Mayflower,,,lol,, my sister spent 4 years over there in England, she did not like it, said the people were not friendly at all, I don’t know, never got to see the place for myself. Your husband was in the service? I mean, how did he convince you to move there so far from family. When I married my first husband, I was only 18, my dad was overseas when I married, when he got home he, my mother, what was left living at home, I had 2 brothers and a younger sister still at home, they all moved to Florida, we were in CA at the time, San Diego. So I watch a lot of the British shows, like Last of the Summer Wine, Hyacinth and As time Goes By, does the scenery look anything like it does in those shows? Well, I hope you get to move to where you want to go, I’m sure there are many beautiful places over there.❤️
@@florachildressEarth2Flo Yes, many beautiful places here….I lived in Wales for 4 years, North Yorkshire for 9 years, and in the southeast near London for 4 years…now I’m in the Midlands for the last 18. My husband was born and raised here and left for Canada when he was 13, went to HS in Toronto and always wanted to come back to England. We met in Pennsylvania, married there, and he emigrated back to England with me and the kids in tow, but I’m stuck here now, it seems. I’m 70 and time is running out, but I have made the most of it and have gained some wonderful friends. Our weather is pretty awful, btw. What ‘they’ say is true!
Love love love this video. Nettles is one of my favorite herbs too. I started craving nettle tisane after I lost several units of blood during surgery for my heart. I had several cups a day, and it strengthened and fortified my body with minerals to help bring back my health. I love the flavor of nettle and add it to soups too.
Anytime I feel out of whack nutritionally, nettles balances me out and gets me back to the center.
I love your vest! Thank you so much for your buoyant positive energy.
I sauté nettles, lambs quarter, morel mushrooms, garlic and shallots' together and eat with meat and potatoes.
Add hosta shoots to the mix. Like asparagus in taste.
If ya find some wild mustard toss some in. All that together is one of my favorite meals.
Ooo yum! Lol... now I'm hungry 😊
I’m not religious nor spiritual, but I consider that plant “sacred “.
IF you think it's sacred, you're spiritual.......Just saying, we ARE ALL spiritual beings, temporarily inhabiting our temporary bodies. Best wishes fellow spiritual one.
Our creator made all these herbs for every sickness we weren't attended to use man's medicine but the Lord's medicine❤
You are so informative. I hate stinging nettles but after watching your video I kinda love them. 😂
Hi Herbal Jedi, I'm a newbie when it comes to knowing anything about stinging nettle, if you could possibly post some precise recipes that I could follow, I would be most grateful, especially the tortilla recipe, tincture, tea and some others with exact measurements, thanks so very much for sharing your knowledge with sll of us out here, also, all the comments from your followers, with the recipes that they have made with this wonderful plant, who knew, I didn't, so thanks everybody for your input also, please have a blessed day and life. ❤
So glad to see you back and Hi from Glasgow Scotland UK. 🌿💙🌿
My husband thought I was crazy/well maybe I am but anyway after listening to a podcast by Rosemary Gladstar a guest talked about using stinging nettles for skin tightening so I decided to whip my face with one of the stinging nettles while cleaning them up for dehydrating. I looked like i'd been stung by bees all over my face and neck. I was thinking it would be like that microdermning people do to generate new cells. .. people that have money lol I just have stinging nettles. Glad to see you back! you're one of my favorites. You look very healthy and refreshed. Some more ways I use nettles 😊 is I like to dry them when they are younger for tea/infusions and then gather more for making soups for the year. I use my instant pot to make a bunch to freeze. Also with the dehydrated nettles, I like to make seasonings with nettle powder mixed with mushroom powder that I've also gathered usually chanterelles, matsutake, and cauliflower. One thing I've yet to do is make a tincture with nettles. I tried once with the roots but didn't wash them for some reason, it was one of my first tinctures made but next time will rinse them a bit first. .. oh also I like to make hair rinses with nettles and horsetail, sometimes sage and rosemary.
Try the seeds in the fall. They have a nice nutty flavour and make a great addition to gomasio (as sesame salt table condiments)
Can you please share your hair wash recipe of the nettle. I'd love to try that
@@heatherpoirier3978 usually I make a rinse the same time I'm making an infusion to drink so I'll add nettles, horsetail and mint -sometimes with honey let it sit about 4 hours then drink some and save some for the hair rinse and with the strained herbs I'll make another hair rinse but this time add a bit of acv.
@@opheliabells ty for sharing!
@@heatherpoirier3978 sorry for not having a 'recipe' i rarely use them, it's kind of a joke around here because even though I'll use the same ingredients my cookies never turn out the same way twice ( for example) but yeah I'm just using it as a conditioner and usually do leave it in my hair without rinsing out.
Good to see you back. Just harvested nettles today, here in Pennsylvania.
This Spring when I had a poison ivy rash, I whacked my skin with stinging nettle to calm the burning sensation and it worked wonders. I do realize that most people wouldn't try this but it really helped.
I've been so stung by nettles over the years I no longer really notice it - except perhaps a little in Spring after a winter of dealing with the dried version. I store nettles as tea, as seeds, and ground nettle for breads, as tinctures and as ointments, also jellies - nice with cheese or drizzled over veg and I am trying wine. I use nettles as fertiliser for my veg and plants. It is one of my favourite plants along with dandelion - used similarly. My winter tea is based on nettle with added plantain and nasturtium, sometimes elderflower if colds threaten, and I add cinnamon and turmeric/ginger or if I can deal with the heat, cayenne. I'm 65 and can work outside pretty much all day without any trouble at all - and I do mean work. People have asked me where my stamina comes from and I always say ''nettles'' and give them some so the idea is becoming popular again.
When I was a child the old lady ''hedgewitch'' in my Highland village told me that God put the sting there so that animals wouldn't eat the most precious plant He gave us. She had a few such stories.
Thank you for keeping the old ways alive.
Your energy is really inspiring! We live in the redwoods and nettle is everywhere! I never knew it had sooo many uses. Thanks for this info!
I once got stung all over both legs wen looking for my brand new drone i never found it but i felt AMAZING my legs were humming not hurting and i felt so good . Im going foraging this week end . Thanks brother
Amazing stinging nettle! In Czech Republic is growing everywhere just as weed. My grandpa was cooking with it. After many years I got back to stinging nettle benefits. I live in USA now and plant my stinging nettles in my yard. I’m harvesting the seeds too. One of my favorite herb. Thank you for your video ❤
I grow her in grow bags and harvest, dry and use it in infusions. She is nourishing, energizing and addictive. I have also added it to my green juice; both delicious.
Sometimes if winter comes late the tall nettle stalks will send out little green leaves and it will be the only green in the woods. Dont eat them! I did, and had kidney trouble around that time and came to learn that you shouldn’t eat nettle after its gone to flower as the plant becomes high in silica ( if I remember correctly) which is essentially powdered glass… other than that this is my favorite plant… thanks for the great videos! Love from Iowa!
Also, Amanda Blunck is the most beautiful woman in the world
Peace, love, and nettles to you Jon :)
I used them from my garden at that point - but ONLY after parboiling or as tea.
Nettle is great filling for pastries along with cottage/fresh cheese
Brilliant mate, You have convinced me to enjoy the benefits of nettles. I've just made my first tea, I do feel a bit calmer after drinking it.
You are such a gift. Thank you so much for all the free information you share.
Sooo happy you are a bare hand nettle picker human!!! I also!! I am a gardener and a potter by trade and my hands LOOOOVE getting zinged by her!!! wooohooo!!Nice to see you back in the woods again Jedi!
If you were lucky enough to have RA/Sjoggies you would able to pick as many nettles as you want - the inflammation of the condition actually seems to 'cancel out' the sting response
Thanks. I love nettle soup. Just add an odd potato, onion and garlic.
Thank you Yarrow, such a joy to see you amongst the Spring nettles! Vibrant green 💚
I love using fresh nettle in pesto that i tuck away in jars to the freezer. I dry for tea daily infusions great tonic for Spring. In fall i harvest seeds to sprinkle on yogurt, veggies. I tuned into the documentary The Nettle Dress wow inspiring had no idea the beautiful fabric matrerial made from our dear Nettles.🌿
Great video and thanks for explaining this plant. This plant is totally amazing, I have arthritis in my feet and eczema this is helping me 100% another great plant provided to us from God!
New to your channel and boy you brought back a lot of memories from my grandmother. She is known to make tea and give this to us when we were small. I think it’s time I start following her remedies.
The way you're handling those Nettles, you must be immune to the Nettle sting. I'm a huge Nettle fan, but I would never handle Nettle that way. I grow a lot of Catnip and I've discovered that Catnip rubbed on the area will get rid of the sting. I still do not like being stung by it and I would warn people watching this video to keep there children away from it.
I was wondering why he didn't feel the sting!
I get why he's like that. As a teen I got stung by them daily to the point I didn't mind. But now I can't imagine letting myself get stung like that, lol.
Where do I get a nettle vest?
It’s enjoyable!
It's great to see you back Yarrow! Thank you!
So excited to see you back, love!
definitely one of my favourite parts of living out on the west coast!!
Brilliant , I've a lotta Nettles growing , harvesting some after watching this . Thanks .
You are the Mr. Rogers of herbs!
Nettles are a super powerful. Thank you for sharing.
Another great educational video. Thank you ❤❤❤
I love nettles! 💚🌱 Mostly have used them in dried form to make very strong tea to keep seasonal allergy symptoms at bay. Very effective! And for clearing mucus, and general deep nourishment, blood tonic. I have also used the same strong tea in cooking as a substitute for veggie broth when I haven’t had any. I have heard how the sting is good medicine for arthritis, but don’t have personal experience with that. I loved watching you express your relationship with nettles and your expression of gratitude to the plant! Kindred spirit🎶 🙌 I learned so much about nettles that I never knew before watching your video. Very interesting about the protein content and all the ways nettles effects various protein metabolisms in the body. Inspiring video. 💚Thank you!
Yesss!!! Welcome back dude! Very appreciative of all the videos and knowledge. ❤
Ty for taking time to teach me about this intriguing plant and or herb I'm just beginning my journey
Wow! You put your heart and soul into it! It was well-researched! Thank you!!
One of my favourites!! And I kind of like the sting! I moved to a place with no nettle, so I just planted some on my deck :)
Nice addition to soup and quiche.
Thank you for being simple to explain I enjoyed the netles with you
I dry a bunch of my stinging nettle to make my own tea bag blends to use year long. It’s a great gift to give my family & friends too.
lovely to see foraging nettles- in the koots --
Omg you are amazing!!! Thank you for your knowledge and teaching!!!
Glad to have you back.
I make an infusion of it and drink 2 cups every other day. My seasonal allergies are gone.
Thank you so so much for this great info, that's a lot of healing for one plant.
Loved every minute of that. Thank You.❤
I use the tea for my knee joints and it helps very potently.
Thank you so much, for sharing your wisdom and good nature. I adore nettles and I thought i knew a lot about them until I saw your video. Yeeeeey!
just great 🤩! Thank you 👃. Nicole from Switzerland
I just started growing nettles! Can’t wait to try it.
I love nettle, I infuse it and we drink a quart each every 3 days. Good to see you again.
Hi Jedi , thanks for sharing your experience with us. About to subscribe and follow more of your vlogs . Have a great day . Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺.
This video has valuable information. Thank you for this.♥
Just planted a controlled patch of Nettles today- excited to work with it!
love you brother and good to see you again, thanks for sharing
I'm sold on nettles thanks to you. I hope it doesn't have a poisonous look-alike. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge.
You have inspired me. My sister has been wildcrafting for about a year now and I have been a bit lazy and let her do it. Lol It’s time to step up, so stinging nettles is where I’m starting. Wish I could post the pictures of then hang drying but it’s ok. Thanks for your hard work.
I enjoyed your song and your enthusiasm. I like mine with navy beans and cayanne pepper. A kind of bean stew.
My absolute favorite edible and medicinal...worth the sting♥️
I grow I grow them in my garden. Love love LOVE them!!
Hi I'm just learning about herbs and my husband and I love her teas thank you for this awesome video 🤗
Thanks for the video. I have started making nettle pancakes and they are delicious and energy boosting. I grind dried nettles into a power and mix it with the ingredients for pancakes.
Hi! It's great to see you. Thanks for inspiring me in my plant journey. It's been some years and my garden is full of lovely "weeds"💯🎁🌻🌟🦋
I appreciate you and your information so much I make it a point to let the advertisements run through to the end. Thank you
lol that’s hilarious and sweet. Thanks for tuning in, and for sitting through the ads. ;)
I love the seeds to eat as superfood on my salad in the fall too
beautiful work brother, thanks for this gift
Stinging Nettles Spinach jammy , my Grandmother always made this Spinach . Thank. you God bless you .😘❤️👏🏻👌🏻
I have it as tea daily👍🏾🤗🙏🏾
One of my fav wild plants to forage, despite the occasional pain involved 😅 I want to start growing it in my yard eventually they’re beautiful plants 🌱
Nettles just starting here in Ontario. Enjoyed a couple tops and a few moments with my patch. Same patch over 30 years now.
Beautiful presentation! I received a gift of a nettle plant that grew from seeding mugwort in pots inside. I will plant it in the woods and harvest a bit next year. Thanks!
I have a patch near my garden always pick them and use it as a tea dry them also for the winter to have a nice cup of tea
Excellent video except I would've liked to see more info on how to identify Stinging Nettle and how to differentiate from closely looking plants. And how to avoid plants that might have been sprayed with poison.
These plants are all over My garden itching my ankles and hands lol 😆 I'm going to try to pick some today and make tea
This was a fantastic video!
Nettle soup, yum!
They are just getting up to 4-5 inches here(a kilometer away) from Susun Weeds house and Wise Woman center . I make soup, tincture some and dry it in our grainery for infusions and tea. Also boil it to drink for a couple days source . Today is Wednesday,Susun walk day so she comes by the farm and checks out whats growing as well. Green blessings to you and your family Yarrow ❤,always ,farmer john
Magical nettle
I have it growing in my garden...great for arthritic hands, effect lasts for days.....
Isn't it just. When my hands are red with inflammation from RA I rub them with the stinging side works better than the silly creams my GP gives. Also consume about 20mls of nettle tincture daily it has made huge difference to my pain levels
Thank you so much Excellent vidéo 👍
Wow! My algorithm must have read my mind, I'm in my garden bathtub and was just looking at my nettle patch under the cottonwood tree and thinking 'I should harvest those soon' 😁🙏
Where may I locate your garden bathtub? Please 🙏 I need a garden bathtub urgently😊
Good info!! Nice with astrology. Thanks..
Love it. More on psoriasis please. You have mentioned it in passing on your other videos but I think maybe a dedicated hot person/conditions might help alot of people trying to help themselves.
I'm not into the astrology thing. This is great! Good for you for teaching us about nettles. I had no idea about the fabric. So cool! 😎
Lovely video, thank you for sharing your knowledge! Great to see you back 🎉
Personally, I love to make tea out of it and steaming it together with some spinach, onion and potato! Can't get enough of it 😅
Greetings from Germany!
cool vest!!! 🌿
I have been looking for nettles around the river banks and bushes here in Ontario with no luck! A friend of mine gave me some seeds 2 years ago. I have been trying to grow nettles in the pots indoors since then. I love this amazing plant. I can't wait to harvest some nettles to enjoy yheir health benefits when they grow stronger. Thank you very much for sharing this amazing info. Anybody who knows where I can find nettles in Toronto area, please let me know and I will be grateful. Thanks.
Thank you for the video. I like to put nettles in my tea. 😊
I love drinking Nettle tea! ☕ It makes my whole body system feel on track again.
Once I poured unfinished mug of tea into a dying plant and it actually revived it, allowing new growth to appear! 😳
So, if Nettle tea does that for my plants, I can only imagine what it does for my body! ☕🌿💚
Thanks for sharing!
I Love you channel and tapping into all your knowledge!
Much Love and Light coming your way! 🌿💚
Thank you for sharing ✌️💖🤟✨️🧚♂️
I just made wild rice with dried nettles sprinkled over it. Delicious! It really helps with digestive inflamation that can come from proccesed food
Loved it, thanks❤
Thanks for the information 🙏🥰
My favorite 💚
Love all the other native plants! I think I saw some trillium!
Great video!
