Nourishing Nettles: Medicinal Zing Worth the Sting

The Herbalist's Path

This episode is about Nettles. Yes, “those”nettles. Urtica diotica. The “stinging” ones. But there’s a ton of medicinal zing other than the (still medicinal) sting. How about a nettle tea? Or nettle Pesto? What!?

Yeah! Nettles are actually one of the most nutrient dense plants we have to work with in our world and they can be used as food and medicine in so many ways. It’s full of vitamins, minerals, protein, & chlorophyll. The benefits of nettle are far reaching from young to old, from a mommy-to-be to an allergy sufferer. Yes, even the sting can be helpful with inflammation in particular to musculoskeletal pain. Of course, stinging yourself for health benefits is not for the faint of heart, but if you try it, we’d love to hear about it! That sting can also make harvesting a little tricky. In this episode, I go over some things to keep in mind to keep both yourself and the plants safe. Check out a video on safely harvesting nettles here. So join me in taking the nasty out of the nettle because nettles are neato!
