Nettle
When I was a little girl I wanted to live in a cabin in the woods surrounded by our dear nettle wisdom. Thick bushes of it all around the perimeter. Like a wise security blanket.
She gives me grandmother energy.
My childlike wisdom must have known having nettle in abundance was perfect for my constitutional make up. Blue eyes need extra help with lymph cleansing and nettle is one of the best herbs for this support.
Because nettle thrives in the harshest conditions, her spirit empowers us to push through burnout, build emotional endurance, and find strength in the face of adversity.
Nettle has deep roots in European folklore, often acting as a bridge to ancestral wisdom and past generations.
Burning nettle or placing dried leaves around the home is traditionally used to banish spiritual stagnation, break curses, and clear unwanted entities.
Tied to the spring equinox, nettle helps you safely cross thresholds, inspiring personal growth, renewal, and the courage to bring new ideas to life.
On a physical level she increases urine output and increases the removal of uric acid. So get ready to p*e lots, if consuming her. The diuretic action of nettle makes her useful in the treatment of edema, arthritis with swollen joints, and congestive heart disease. The root is indicated in BPH and uterine hemorrhages. Is specific for nervous eczema and will strengthen and support the whole body. Plays an important role in chronic and degenerative condition of the musculoskeletal system such as RA, OA, gout, joint pain and myalgia. And one of the best herbal allies for cleansing our lymph system.
Provides high levels of nutrients like iron, Quercetain, Vitamins A, B2, B5, C, K+, Ca+, silicon, chlorophylls a and b, and minerals.
And also one of the best detoxification herbs.
How could you not love nettle!?
Fun fact; when I fell pregnant the nettle in our garden grew in abundance, when it had wavered before, and thats the wisdom of plant spirit medicine. When there is a need, our plant spirits know and always provide.
