Thank you for sharing your experience with Nettle! I really enjoyed reading about all the synchronicities and how it has had a spiritual, emotional and physical impact for you. A true plant ally indeed. I’ve only used it in infusions for iron replenishment so it fascinating to hear how multifaceted its uses can be for individuals.

I really love NS Spagyrics – in particular Valerian & Licorice. I got Valerian to help me sleep, but it ended up soothing overactive nerves, expelling wind/tension in my GI & giving me incredible vivid dreams with memory recall that I wasn’t expecting – yet it all incorporated to what spirit was communicating. And the Licorice was excellent to reduce postpartum hot flashes which also blew my mind!

You’re welcome and yes; a dropper full of the tincture should be good! I’ve had Rosemary on my wishlist and would love to try it in the future…it sounds like the two make a great combo. I also took Sajah’s advice in one of the videos where he mentions Vatas needing more magnesium and it’s been super helpful as well! I hope your wife gets the healing she needs with the upcoming season! 🥰

Oh I probably used a full dropper of the tincture at a time on avg. And 3-5 drops of the essence. It can be a little tricky to figure out the dosing at first cause there were times that I got too sleepy and a bit of unwanted brain fog. But once I figured it out, it was a great plant ally for sure.

Well I used the NS tincture for the licorice – I don’t believe they have a full essence option. But I used both the tincture and essence for the Valerian and it’s so potent! I’ve never had it as a Decoction cause it just seemed easier to put the drops in my water – especially when I wanted to use it in various unplanned moments. I’m a mother to a toddler so I found it helpful to get me to sleep if my sleep rythme was thrown off from all the times I had to wake up at night. And it’s nervine effect is definitely calming to that overactive mental activity…I’m also a gemini so it resonated astrologically too haha

I definitely recommend it to your wife since she’s vata as well! And because it has so much volitial oils, it’s good to keep the body warm which vatas need. And it’s amazing at reducing bloating which is another common wind/tension issue that vatas can get.
