@MeganB Thank you, Megan! 
An allergy tea sounds like a very smart way to use stinging nettle, it sure is loaded with nutrients! I’m sorry your stomach didn’t care for it- I’m afraid I can’t drink it as a tea either, my blood pressure is already so low that nettle makes it plummet and I get really dizzy 
So I figured if my body can’t have it, maybe at least my hair could! 
@Heav3n Thank you, Heav3n! 
And yes- it did give me quite a chuckle to see too 
Here is the video- if you’d like to take a peek, he starts grinding things up around 2:33
@Susurrus Really! That’s very interesting to hear- so many of the recipes I looked at were trying to find a way to get the suds (I don’t really understand how it works, but it seemed to be by adding some kind of soap or chemical). It’s heartening to hear that it might be better to just keep it simple and all-natural! 
@Artemisia Stinging nettles can be a gardener’s bane (the stingers drive me crazy! I always get zapped 
) but they are a witch’s bounty! Here in Europe they use them for a whole bunch of things- tea, tinctures, dishes, healthy and beauty care. Many years ago in Italy we would collect them and stir fry them in butter- very tasty! It seems in Poland it’s more popular as a tea or used for homemade shampoo. No matter what you choose to do with your nettle, you have a treasure trove of possibilities in your garden, Artemisia!
@AileyGrey Thank you for the idea of the shampoo bar- I’ll definitely look into it! I used one once while I was backpacking- it lasted forever and smelled really good. I wonder if it’s something that can be made at home (ideally without the tricky saponification process). And ohhh! That’s exciting! Good luck with your cider shampoo- I’d love to hear what you think of it!
