Nettle (Urtica dioica)
Stinging nettle is potent and ancient medicine! Its ancient medicine includes slapping the fresh leaves over arthritic or stiff areas in the body to help bring blood flow to the area. Internally however, it is known for its incredibly nutritive benefits! It is very high in iron (and vitamin c, which you need for proper iron absorption), calcium, magnesium, potassium, it is basically full of minerals. It is known as a “styptic”, where it can stop or slow down bleeding (externally and internally). It has a “depurative” action, which means it helps to open up detox pathways — helping to reduce toxicity in the system and improve skin health. If eaten or tinctured fresh, it is a strong anti-histamine (it actually pops up just in time for spring allergies!). Also great to produce breast milk in new mothers — often added into the classic blend of raspberry leaf, nettle, alfalfa, and oat straw for postpartum.
