I had the pleasure of meeting her and watching her concoct a poultice to heal a horse with proud flesh on his head. They vet was scheduled to euthanize the horse in a week. She healed his head and lived a very wonderful life. Rosemary is AMAZING!!!
Thank you, Rosalee and Rosemary. I feel so honored to be able to share in your wisdom. Such an interesting and inspirational conversation between two amazing women herbalists. I have been experimenting with Nettles and I'm pretty sure it will always be in my life going forward.
What a blessing to see and hear this. Rosemary Gladstar has been a constant inspiration to me since I first found her book ‘MEDICINAL HERBS A Beginner’s Guide.’ How wonderful is it to walk into that perfect, just right niche that God/Goddess/Mother Nature chooses for us so early in her life and to follow through her entire life! Her willingness to share with the world should be a lesson to us all. And thank you, Rosalee, for your new podcasts. You have already taught me so much and now with your podcasts I look forward to much more.
Nettle is very healing to my hands where they swell and ache i love it in tea and soups and cooked by itself with spices shes a wonderful teacher and medicine
Rosemary Gladstar is so amazing! Thank you for this wonderful interview! Loved her sharing and her spiritual connection to the natural world. I feel the same, and absolutely need to be out in nature, that is how I recharge, renew and feel the happiest.
Thanks Rosalee! I was wondering what was coming up that it would interest me so, Rosemary. ;-) I just discovered a you tube channel of a family in rural Russia where they show how the cook their local foods and Nettle is widely used. They make like a mini calzone filled with cooked nettle and then boiled this as a ravioli. But the Pesto, ooh yes, I will need to try this. Maybe like the parsley pesto in your Alchemy of Herbs. I love that pesto. We will not tell the Dandelions. LOL. PS: I tried to walk without shoes on the grass; the fire ants really enjoyed it. Hahahaha. Oooh, they bite so hard. I can't walk barefoot here. It is risky. Hahaha. We live in South Carolina. I have to plant nettle from seed. It is pretty dry hot in the summer months. Dandelions and violets are happy for a short window that when I see them I rather enjoy their beauty. I have planted seed, but they are slowly multiplying. Soon I will be able to harvest them in abundance.
Rosalee and Rosemary Gladstar! What a star-studded duo! Thank you both so much for your love and knowledge of herbs. I am so grateful for you both more and more as I learn my way through herbs. Thank you! By the way, I love nettles too and look forward to trying the pesto :)!
What a delight! My two favorite, most influential herbalists in my journey together in one video. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom. I’m loving both the RU-vid channel and the new podcast!
LOVED the interview. Nettle is 1 of my favorites too as a medicinal, though I've never had the opportunity to use it fresh. I usually have it as a tea or a 24-36 hr steeped infusion. Thank u both for continuing to share your very special & helpful knowledge!!! God makes so much available to us to help us thrive!🌼🍄😊🌿🍀
Rosalee & Rosemary, THANK YOU! so much for sharing your time, talents, and knowledge. You both have been instrumental in my journey learning about all the plants that bless my land. Your books are always handy and I refer to your videos often. My herb jars are slowly being filled due to the inspiration you both give me. :)
Beautiful show Rosalee!! I feel like we are all just sitting around as friend having tea talking about what we love. Getting to know more about herbs better and understanding where Rosemary came from is wonderful. She is a truly wonderful woman. Everything felt very comfortable and natural. I love all the things you do Rosalee! Thank you so much for your work. Brings much joy to everyone.
Thank you both for this video on nettles. It is a rare treat for me, and I'm sure everyone here too, to be able to learn from two great herbalists. I have been so wanting Stinging nettle in my life, and my own patch to cultivate for a long, long time because she is so hard for me to find in my neck of SC midlands. To my amazement, this Spring, Nettle blessed me finally with a healthy stinging glorious plant. She has put her roots down in my new raised bed in the Soil3 humus compost bedding we filled it with. As of Summer solstice, she is already starting to put out trailing seed stalks and I found the older the plant, the less sting she has on the upper leaves. I would love to learn more about how to grow and propagate, harvest and use Nettle-as well as other types of medicinal herbs. This video was a start. Thank you.
Love you both...this was great and you two are such great inspirations for me and generations of plant people. I spent a nettle harvest day years ago using bare hands with the intention of connecting more deeply with the plants and to see if intention altered the sting. It was a great experience and a great harvest...and my thumb and forefinger were numb for a couple of days. ;^)
What a perfect way to start your podcasts Rosalee. Thankyou so much! Rosemary Gladstar is such a great blessing to us all and to hear her sharing her love of Nettle (mine too), is an absolute delight. Together the two of you, so generously sharing your wisdom and joy is the best gift of all. Nesto is definately on my to do list as soon as my nettle returns in abundance. I usually eat the fresh tips and seeds straight from the plant but will endevour to make it to the kitchen :-) Until next time xxx
I hate I missed it live, but so happy to see my favorite herbalists together! You both are a wealth of knowledge and this was like Christmas! Thank you both, for sharing with us! 💜💜 🌱🍃
Thank you for this wonderful podcast interview. I really enjoyed the personal shares of experiences with Nettle as well as the final thoughts on how plants inspire us with their strength and tenacity. I agree with Rosemary, nature is what fuels my spirituality. Thank you Rosalee & Rosemary!
Hi your podcast popped up while I was on utube so I gave it a go. I love it! I love the interview with Rosemary as well. I have purchased and seen her brand in the store for a long time! I love hearing her background! Take care!
Thanks so much for this wonderful information, from two matriarchs. Can I just ask a question. I was picking Nettle, Clevers and Plantain on my morning walks and making tea with them. I had to stop as I was piddling all the time. should I have persisted or was the combination wrong
Those are all lovely diuretics so that explains that effect! The diuretic effect could lessen a bit overtime, but if it's still bothersome after a couple of weeks then I would drink less diuretic teas.
Do you know where I could get Stinging Nettle fresh in southern East Tennessee? I'm trying to grow some, but not sure it's going to germinate. (Maybe I'm just impatient) There's just so much to learn. And how great to be able to listen to both of you together. Thank you.
Great information - I love nettle too, but there's no way I can eat them raw, as even a tincture made from fresh nettles from my garden (infused for 6 weeks), caused me to feel a stinging sensation throughout my body for a long time - not fun. Also, the name of the Tibeten yogi saint who lived on nettles and even turned green from them is Milarepa, not Milarapra.
What about valerian for pain .i had a tumor on my spinal cord. I have terrible neck and back pain. Also i just. Put up 2 elderberry trees. And anise tulsi andneed a good recipe book. Is wild lettuce dangerous
Great video thanks so much for putting it out there, I was wondering can nettle be transplanted from one location to another or can it be dug up and saved to plant later and if so when is the best time to do this? I live in souyh eastern part of Ontario Canada and planning on moving to the northern part of Ontario.
Is it better to dry stinging nettles for storage or freeze them? I have some stinging nettles growing in my yard and want to take advantage of them for using in the winter.
Nice show ladies! How exactly does a person harvest nettle? Basil is pinch the stem at the top of leaves of 3 or 4 so to get a dense or less lengthy plant or pull the whole plant... but nettle?
@@HerbsWithRosalee the spiritual connection with "Nature" was very uplifting and heartfelt Rosemary. This is what continues to move me back to the garden. I am so grateful for all the knowledge you and Rosalee have of Herbs and their benefits. Thankyou for caring and sharing !
I would love to try using nettle in my diet. But, I have inherited the gene for hemochromatosis. which causes iron overload. And will harden your organs. Since it is a vegetable iron and has calcium with it would it be safe to have it in my diet?
Rosmary recomendes eating the fresh young nettle, raw but on the other hand she recomendes to steam the nettle very well, not lightly steamed. why is that? if it is ok to eat fresh and raw why is it not recomended to just lightly steam?
It's not recommended to use the leaves after the plant has gone to seed. You can work with the seeds. See my interview with David Winston for more info about that.
