I wanted to shUnexpected Benefits and Manageable Side Effects with Nettleare my experience with…

I wanted to share my experience with the Nettle headband as someone with complex health conditions, hoping it helps others considering this treatment.
The most remarkable effect came on day one: I experienced temporary sensation in areas affected by hemiplegia for the past decade. Specifically, I could feel texture and temperature on the right side of my face during the session and for about 20 minutes after - something I hadn't experienced in 10 years. While the full sensation didn't persist, it was amazing.
Regarding menstrual symptoms, which were previously severe (requiring strong pain medication and causing severe nausea/vomiting): my first period after starting Nettle was notably different. The pain was minimal - describable as "distant" rather than overwhelming. I only needed occasional CBD and a hot water bottle, rather than my usual medications. The bleeding pattern also changed, becoming lighter and more manageable.
I did experience one day of prolonged scalp irritation sensation (without visible inflammation) and a light headache, but these resolved within 24 hours. Subsequent sessions were more comfortable.

Truly Revolutionary Product

The Nettle from Samphire Neuroscience is absolutely a game-changing breakthrough in the field of female health. I have suffered from debilitating PMDD for the past 3 years and have noticed a significant improvement in my mood since using the Nettle. No other treatments have delivered on their promises like the Nettle has, and no other treatments are targeting the root of the problem like the Nettle does. The app experience is seamless. The customer service and support is INCREDIBLE. The product itself is comfortable and easy to use. I experienced a tiny tingling when I first started using the Nettle, but I've since gotten very used to it - and now I can't wait to stimulate when I get home. Thank goodness for this product and the breakthrough work they are doing at Samphire Neuro. Keep up the great work!! I highly recommend.

I've been using the Nettle for three months, and the changes have been remarkable. My mood and motivation have improved significantly, and I’ve experienced zero menstrual pain! it’s been a total game-changer! I’m honestly blown away by this incredible technology and wish more women could experience its benefits.

It worked for me very quickly and strongly

I've been having period pain since I was 12, started having or realized having strong anxiety symptoms and depressions (low motivation, strong fatigue, irritability, low mood) on a cycled schedule from day 19 to day 26 of my cycle. Like a clock.
Realized that and tried to work on it with very good habits (exercises, routines, diet), mental health support and treatment, I have a very nice supportive partner. I tried taking more vitamins B spectrum, calcium, zinc, magnesium, omega 3 throughout my cycle. I took melatonin to sleep, implemented a sleep routine, etc. Honestly, tried it all. It all helped to a certain degree, but theses days (19 to 26) were still bad mood day, just good behavior and doing what I had to do. I tried the Nettle on day 21 to 25 since that's when I received it. Wow, one of my most annoying symptoms was insomnia, I couldn't fall asleep on most of theses days.
I just felt sleepy at 22h00 and fell asleep that night. Day 21 is usually more about anxious feeling, overwhelmed in general, lil hamster racing. Well. After the nettle my mood was normal like in my follicular phase. The day after, I was doing great, like my normal me. I feel deeply lucky and grateful. My partner notice how much more productive and cheery I am for this phase of my cycle. For me the fact that I fell asleep so easily is truly a signs that it works. Emotions are sometime's complex to isolate but sleeping? I didn't even think of having this great outcome. I would sincerely suggest to try it. I will keep updating in the next months for the period pain and if the improvement are stable.

Also for the side effect: all I have is some itchiness during the treatment. I would say I'm sensitive to feel things, but tolerate well strong sensation. This is light and I don't see how it could discourage anyone to continue treatment since it's helping me with my mood, mindfullness and sleeping habit therefore also my productivity and stress level. :)
I didn't get any headaches, nausea or tingling as mentionned in the description of possible side effects.

It's also very easy to install since the video show all the steps for it and it's quit simple.
20 mins of chatting with my partner or cuddling with the cats usually during.

Worth my money cause damn I spent so much more on trying all the other stuff that didn't help as much as this.

First time Nettle user

I came across Nettle a bit in despair for a solution for a) heavily noticeable PMS symptoms that affected my life before and during my period and b) very strong period cramps and high pain levels. To this date I had not found a solution for any of the PMS symptoms and the only solution I found to treat the pain was general painkillers. The pain is so strong that I start taking them 2 days before my period and continue back to back until pretty much the period ends. Even with that, the pain is normally not fully gone.

I am a very recent user of Nettle and lucky for me, it came just in time to try it out 5 days before my last period. During the 5-6 first sessions, I could notice straight away changes in my mood. My head was clear and it felt I was in the right mindset to get going with normal tasks during my day (work, exercise, social events, etc..). Regarding pain, I still experienced strong cramps in days 2 and 3 of the period and I had to resort to painkillers during those days; however, the amount of painkillers I needed to take decreased significantly from around 9 days (before and during period) to just only 2 (during period).

Using the device is very straightforward. Personally, I need to add lots of water to the sponges to have good contact but after some sessions it is easy to figure out what works for you.

I am looking forward to trying it more consistently in upcoming cycles!

A Revolutionary Solution for PMDD

I am absolutely amazed by Nettle! After just seven sessions, I’ve noticed a remarkable positive effect, especially emotionally. Normally, I struggle with depression, self-doubt, and a significant lack of energy right before my period—but this time, none of that! Instead, I feel empowered, confident, and full of energy. Even my period itself was less painful; for the first time, I didn’t need painkillers (and I usually rely on 2-3 ibuprofen). The pain was manageable, and that alone is a huge relief.
My therapist also noticed that I seemed much more stable and balanced.
The application process is super easy: during use, there’s a tingling sensation on the scalp, which felt a bit strange at first but quickly became ok—especially when adjusting the device to fit better. The app is intuitive and guides you seamlessly through the process, with clear and simple instructions. The customer support is warm and responsive; every question I had was answered promptly.

To me, this feels like the future of PMDD treatment—revolutionary! For the first time in years, I feel like I’ve regained a sense of control over my life as someone who suffers from PMDD. Although it’s still early, and I’m only one cycle in, I’m already so grateful to have found Nettle. This is an honest, unpaid review from a deeply satisfied user. I’m looking forward to sharing more updates if anything changes. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with PMDD!

It does work!

I was skeptical at first, unsure if the headband would help me. It does! My mood swings have significantly decreased and so has my cramps. The band can take a little getting used to, but it’s so worth it. It took a few months (about 3 months) of proper use before I actually started seeing the effect but I expected that.

User experience review - highly recommend

I’ve been using the Nettle headband by Samphire Neuroscience almost since it’s launch and it’s made a remarkable difference to my depression and anxiety that I experience as a result of PMDD. I have a long cycle and experience 2 weeks of PMDD that used to feel completely unmanageable, when I use Nettle from ovulation onwards I experience a significant reduction in symptoms. I’ve also tried other treatments including antidepressants and TMS but none have been as effective in alleviating some of my symptoms. It’s also great to be able to use it at home and to not have to commute anywhere or have any extra appointments. The app is very informative and the team are lovely and respond quickly to any questions or concerns. I’d highly recommend trying it if you have the opportunity!

Long-term user experience

I have been using Nettle for almost a year and it is truly a life-changing creation (if you are a woman suffering from PMS of course). It has not only helped me to become more aware and be more in tune with my body, but made me more conscious about my bodily sensitivity. The headband has a tingling sensation and the interesting part is that the sensation varies in intensity of sensation (even though the strength of stimulation does not change) depending on the day of the cycle. It's fascinating how our bodies work and I hate to think I used to heavily fill it with painkillers every month.
