The Magic of Nettles

Nettles are amazing

Nettles are wonderful plants. As they grow everywhere you can pick them. Please be careful & use gloves & also pick them from a location where dogs cannot get to.

Nettles:

2) Reduce inflammation
3) Contain natural anti histamines so can help with allergic reactions
4) Stimulate the lymphatic system which is one of the main ways in which the body detoxes.
5) Improves skin conditions

Nettles and the Heart

Nettles and their effect on inflammation

There are lots of ways of using nettles. I allow some nettle plants to grow in my garden. I pick the leaves fresh (using gloves, of course) & add them to my smoothies. The fresher the food, the higher its healing vibration.
You can make nettle tea.
There are some wonderful recipes on the Internet for Nettle soup.
