Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I have t daughter who is quite allergic to many things, and will frequently break out in hives in response to ???. When she hit her teens and started having an allergic response to seemingly everything😿💩, I took her to the allergy specialist (200 mi RT) and got her tested, so we knew what we were dealing with (dust mites, pet dander, mold, grasses...). Went thru desensitization rx, decreased contact with allergens (we DID keep the cat, who had adopted US😹😻), etc. I am an RN, who has always been interested in herbal medicine and natural remedies.😊 She has graduated from college now, and is out on her own. Lives in an old brick building (well over 110 years old with her cat, and works at one of the few family-owned small town newspapers, which is housed in an equally old bldg and stores a copy of every paper -printed issue they’ve ever printed IN the bldg! (Can we say ‘dust mites, mold, rodents and cats altogether?!?). YIKES! She has put on an extraordinary amount of weight, and is having knee issues, gallbladder, migraines, SOB, heavy menses, and generally doesn’t feel well.😢❤ My sweet, funny, tender-hearted baby is only 32, and I hurt for her!💔 Will pass along this video to her! Thank you! Blessings😘🙏😇😪🤧🙄🤗✌🏼🦠

Thank you SO much for offhandedly mentioning that nettle tastes different if you steep it longer. What a difference! This should be common knowldege.

My grandson has suffered from mastocytosis, since he was 3 months old. Body produces far to much histamine. It's horrible what this child went through yr after yr. He's 10 doing much better. I mean he deals with it. April I love all your videos and all your knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing

[@colleenmclaren7365]

I am super excited to hear this vid !!!!! I just med a lady who has this histamine mast cell problem and got sent to the hospital because she got stung by a bee- anyway….. I told her to look you up April because you might have some advice to give her and she said she would look you up and here is this awesome vid that will help her!!!!!!!!! I’m super praying that she will find answers from you April how to heal. Thanks so much for helping others - You are making our world a better place to live!!!!!!!!

Use stinging nettle for knee pain. Just break off top of plant and gentle rub over arthritic/sore area. Works like magic❤

[@user-hn9wu2zt1r]

Awesome! Thanks April for the recipe. Got nettle cleared by my allergist and I am sooo ready for starting this daily. Allergic to all trees, grasses, shrubs etc. And yes I said all. The amount of meds I take is a joke. Need herbs in my life❣️ thank you for helping me be a better human.

[@banningo]

How's it going for you? I know it's only been a month but have you seen a difference yet?

[@mizzkathryn7]

I just have to share this.I've been very busy in the gardens enjoying the last couple of days the weather has been perfect for being outside. Sending you pictures of my beautiful poke root plants. I'll be pulling up much of that before they go to seed. About 10 weeks ago I pulled up a beautiful poke Root and I've soaked it in some organic olive oil and calendula flowers and cloves. So I first made a salve by adding the beeswax to it and then cooling it in the pot in the refrigerator and then whipped that up until it was like whipped butter. It is absolutely amazing for pain. I've had shingles for about 8 days I'm almost over it now and I was just dipping my finger into the oil before I even put any beeswax in it for the pain on my shoulder and my back it has been amazing for pain. Happy prepping

[@sandradewys1936]

Something I need to make for my hubby’s swollen sinuses. Thanks April , you’re a life saver for my family . ❤❤❤❤

[@megarensmusic]

Having had an allergic reaction to some pharma drugs for arthritis, and coming out in an itchy rash, I think this may be beneficial. Always grateful ❤

[@Nicola-Lore]

Hello April ! I am beyond grateful everyday for your shared knowledge. I have a pretty good naturopathic/holistic doctor and you touch upon things that she doesn't even consider. I can't wait to try this for my "bakers and brewers yeast intolerance" that I think is caused by histamine issues. I came to this conclusion after a short correspondence that you and I had in the comment section of one of your videos, which took me down a deep dive on histamine. Thank you for that ! I just think you are the best !!!

[@sheisofthewoods]

You're so welcome! Also my brain says to check out my milk kefir video, could be that you're missing particular bacteria that would otherwise break down the yeast!

[@teresahoye6477]

I have terrible sinuses. Thank you for this video.

[@auuuumbers]

Omg I knew you were one of us! I have watched your videos for a long time. You are literally my favorite!! I trust you because you are so knowledgeable and bring the science. I have the MTHFR gene too & hypermobile EDS/dysautonomia. I noticed your hypermobile fingers. I’ll be tested for MCAS soon, but I’m realizing for me pharmaceuticals are just not where it’s at. I will follow this recipe immediately. You are a such a godsend.

[@harblinshaven6303]

Hello Mrs. April, I always thought I was lactose intolerant BUT after I found it was cats and pork that I then fixed I am able to use dairy without much issu. I can't eat a gallon of icecream but I use heavy cream, half and half and butter regularly without any stomach problems. As for this tincture I'm going to try it because all of my children have allergies to many things that we all could benefit from this. Thanks for all of your help and motivation to use something other than a lab made pill!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ellevaruna1744]

I always dump the finished product into a french press and keep it in the fridge. Very easy to strain it that way.

[@tammyplourde2859]

Thanks! This was so informative! Another thing that butcher coats don't address. I have histamine intolerance and suspect that I have MCAS. I spoke to a doctor about it and she said there is no need to test because they would treat it the same way, with antihistamines. I'm definitely going to try this, and I will start off reaaaal slow because it seems like I have reactions to everything.😮 Would love to know what you take for b-12.

[@sheisofthewoods]

That's absurd! I'd get my B5/B12/Vitamin C levels checked, I use B12 shots that I order from Amsterdam since we can't buy them in the US but test first because after supplementing tests are useless.

[@bjbutton57]

Should this tincture be kept refrigerated? Thanks!

If you add your herbs... and add hot water just to 1/2 or 3/4 jar, you can stir to get rid of the air... then continue to fill to the top. (saves the overflow)

[@dilcrawf]

I use a dropper of oil of oregano (made by me) in morning and evening and it’s been very helpful with keeping my sinuses open and congestion down in chest as I am asthmatic. Going to try this recipe too.

[@dilcrawf]

@@sanorarae5478 yes, I infused fresh oregano (which I can harvest at county park next to me) with extra virgin olive oil for 2 weeks. Strain and put some in small dropper bottle and store rest in dark place and refill little bottle as needed. You can infuse longer than two weeks but that’s all I did to try it out. Keep little bottle in medicine cabinet for easy reach. I put under my tongue for a minute and wash down with a drink of water 😊

This is just what I needed, I am having the biggest histamine storm of my life right now, not that I knew that until watching this video, this is the second time I’m watching, after the first time, I immediately ordered skullcap, I have nettle but am a bit scared to use it on its own 😬 I have the worst allergy skin rash and welts at the moment, and guess what, it came after I ate aged feta! I knew this but had no idea about the histamine intolerance. Thank you April🙏

[@stephanygates6491]

I foolishly introduced akkermansia muciniphila right after having an acid purge reaction to whey protein that cleared out much of my microbiome. It also cleared out my mucin, so I experience each population explosion as a histamine reaction, making as much mucin as possible to protect my gut and feed them at the same time. I've been itching for months, especially on my arms. I'm trying your infusion as soon as I can get the skullcap root. Thank you!

You may consider homemade milk kefir (store bought is fake) just to get the bacteria more balanced out!
