RE: Medicinal Herb Profile - Nettle
Thanks for the tip on nettle tea for allergies. When I was pregnant my midwife had me take encapsulated nettle for allergies (plus the pregnancy benefits you mentioned above) but it wasn’t 100% effective for me—my biggest woe is grass pollen though. I’m intrigued to try it out in tea form instead and see how that works.
Thank you! I hope you do give it a try, I know things for differently for different people but I was floored at how well it worked. I even had a family member come visit who battled chronic allergies. I made her a cup of tea and she had complete relief as well. Fingers crossed it works for you as well.
Crossing my fingers as well—that grass slays me every spring! You just drink one cup of tea per day?
1-3 cups to stop symptoms, 1 a day to prevent. In the summer I make an iced tea with Nettle, Red Clover and Peppermint that the whole family drinks. Also, you may look into a tincture as well...it would be more potent perhaps.
