One man thinks he has found the cure for hay fever but it may not be for everyone, he said:
All my life I suffered from hay fever. I pretty much choked to death every summer. Then a few years ago, an old man (crazy old man according to my wife) told me to try nettles.
Basically, as soon as the spring starts, he told me, and the first nettles sprout out, pick a bunch and sting myself with them. Do that once a week until the end of autumn. Apparently this would make my immune system concentrate on nettles and forget about the pollen.
To my wife’s horror and the amusement of the fellow walkers in parks and forests, I soon started the “therapy”. This is my hand in the nettles bush 🙂 And lo and behold it worked…I haven’t had any problems with pollen for 3 years now…
So there you have it. Just wanted to share with you my experience. Just in case someone is interested in use of herbs for medicinal purposes…
And as the law requires, here is the disclaimer: don’t do this at home 🙂
