When Hemp Nettle Grows and Its Impacts

 

Hemp Nettle is typically found to grow during the warmer months and can be a source of pollen allergies in susceptible individuals. Here is when it usually grows:

 

Growing Season

 

  • Hemp Nettle primarily grows from late spring through early fall.
  • The peak growth period usually occurs in the summer months.
  • Pollen release is most likely during this time frame, affecting those with sensitivities.

 

Where Hemp Nettle Grows Across the USA?

 

Hemp Nettle (Galeopsis spp.) typically grows in certain parts of the United States, particularly in the northeastern and north-central regions. It can also be found in scattered locations across the country, often in disturbed areas like roadsides, fields, and grasslands where the soil has been disturbed.

Tips for Avoiding Hemp Nettle Allergy

Identify and Avoid Hemp Nettle

 

Learn to identify Hemp Nettle plants to avoid areas where they grow. Knowing their appearance helps you stay away from places they thrive, especially during peak growing seasons.

Wear Protective Clothing

 

When venturing into areas where Hemp Nettle might be present, wear long sleeves, pants, and gloves to minimize direct contact. This protective clothing acts as a barrier against pollen or plant oils.

Keep Your Environment Clean

 

Regularly clean your home, especially during the plant's flowering season. This reduces the amount of pollen and plant particles indoors, lowering the risk of allergens in your environment.

Consult an Allergist

 

If you have a known allergy to Hemp Nettle, consult with an allergist for personalized advice and potential treatments, such as medications or allergy shots, to manage symptoms effectively.

Diet to Ease Hemp Nettle Allergy Symptoms

 

Consume Anti-inflammatory Foods

 

  • Fruits like berries, apples, and pears help reduce inflammation.

  • Chia seeds and flaxseeds are excellent plant-based sources of omega-3s.

 

Enhance Your Diet with Probiotics

Incorporate Antioxidant-Rich Foods

 

  • Consume foods rich in vitamin C like citrus fruits, strawberries, and kiwi to support the immune system.

What Food Worsens Hemp Nettle Allergy

 

Foods to Avoid for Hemp Nettle Allergy
