Agreed! I've been suffering from seasonal allergies for several weeks with no relief from traditional medicine. Out of desperation I bought liquid stinging nettles leaf after seeing that it worked for some people. I took five dropper fulls immediately at about 8pm. I noticed only a mild difference within 20 minutes. Still though, I took another five dropper fulls a few hours later. The next morning my eyes had less mucus in the corners, but my face was still swollen. I took five dropper fulls again twice in the morning. Then again five dropper fulls in the afternoon. By 5pm I was feeling much better and my face was significantly less swollen. By 10pm, I felt 80% better. This worked after Zyrtec, Claritin, Xyzal, Allegra, and Prednisone did not. I am only at the end of day 1, so I can't say yet what is going to happen tomorrow, but feel optimistic that I will be back up to 100% with zero symptoms. I ordered two more bottles. I bought the Horbasch nettle leaf brand off of Amazon for 9.99. I used half the 2 ounce bottle within a 24 hour period. I just ordered 2 more bottles.

Noticed something seriously missing from your stinging nettles page, a top remedy for hay fever (seasonal allergies) is stinging nettles (which I've personally used and it knocked out my hay fever (fall pollen allergy) out!

I've used stinging nettles tinctures, but boiling them in water a bit, draining off the water (tonic) and drinking works too. I've heard the leaves can be rolled up (needles inside) and chewed is another oral method.

Stinging Nettles for Hay Fever is #1 or seasonal allergies should be top of list (IMHO). Peace
