If I drink a cup every 4 hours my allergy symptoms are totally gone. No side effects at all, I just feel normal! It's a miracle. #naturalremedy #wildforaging #foraging #naturalmedicine #tea #grownostr #homesteading #permaculture #permies
Purple Dead Nettle Antihistamine Tea https://i.imgur.com/eVr44tj.jpeg Been drinking 2-3 cups of purple dead nettle tea throughout the spring allergy season. I can now say for sure that this tea is the best natural allergy remedy I have ever tried. I can be out stomping through chest high grass with clouds of pollen in my face resulting in extreme eye swelling, wheezing, endless sneezing and overall misery. After drinking the tea (and washing the pollen off my body), my symptoms are gone in minutes. There are zero side effects too. Truly been a miracle for me. #naturalremedy #wildforaging #foraging #naturalmedicine #tea #grownostr #homesteading #permaculture #permies #alleries nostr:nevent1qqszfezldsva8vsgl77chnr3zq462d2wqepyp95lj8ua0grdw2fnx7qpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qf5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajsxpqqqqqqzydx66r
Sent this one to my wife. She has histamine issues and we have a ton of purple deadnettle in the spring.
That's this plant, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamium_purpureum
I bet a tincture of this would work pretty well
Developing the perfect wild foraged herbal antihistamine tea https://i.nostr.build/cBTjk6i584arU6HA.jpg Last year I started making tea with purple dead nettle, a spring ephemeral weed with powerful antihistamine properties, which has effectively alleviated all my allergy symptoms. https://i.nostr.build/9zrVJ.jpg Now that I know the tea works, I'm working on adding other wild foraged herbs to improve the flavor. I was adding a spoon of honey with each cup to mask the spinach flavor of the purple dead nettle, but drinking several cups a day added up to a lot of honey. https://i.nostr.build/pNlMtf8GI6d3JmVh.jpg So far I've been happy with a mixture of purple dead nettle, wild rose flowers, mullein, and sumac berries. No honey necessary, it tastes very similar to basic black tea. I've also found that the tea still works well after keeping in the fridge for a few days. Instead of brewing a fresh cup each time, now I brew 32oz of tea at once. It's been refreshing to have a cold drink after being out in the sun getting covered in pollen and having my allergy symptoms quickly dissolve away. #naturalremedy #wildforaging #foraging #naturalmedicine #tea #grownostr #homesteading #permaculture #permies #meshtadel #allergies nostr:nevent1qqszfezldsva8vsgl77chnr3zq462d2wqepyp95lj8ua0grdw2fnx7qppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsy6q3ua80awknlxp6m368qssqghct6ra6scca4meepumhcswkuwegrqsqqqqqpgtr5hu
Dead nettle is member of the mint family, the leaves just kind of resemble nettle
