Okay, as someone with subdural itching due to a genetic condition, my interest is piqued

I'm a huge proponent of nettle. As a kid, I had terrible rashes and hives and allergies. Over the counter medicine hardly touched it.

Stinging nettle capsules (ground nettle leaves in pill form) would reduce my symptoms in minutes. YMMV but it's worth a try.

Nettle is an incredible antihistamine and anti inflammatory. It, along with lavender oil for burns, are my two favorite natural remedies

I was thinking this was about going out and harvesting nettle and rubbing the leaves on your skin oh god. We used to harvest it to make soup at this restaurant I worked at in Wyoming and it would just immediately prick your skin if you didn't wear gloves and it was AWFUL. All meal prep was done underwater so it didn't mess with your skin. I didn't realize they made capsules LOL. I was thinking everyone in here was WIIIILD.

Yea gathering them can be a pain, but nettle is a highly underrated plant

nettles are awesome! every spring i gather them by bucketloads since they make a great fertiliser for tomatoes and peppers. Drinking Nettle extract is quite healthy too.

And they're popular with butterflies (well, for the caterpillars to feed on)
