Herbalist’s confession time- I don’t really like Nettles.
🍃
Now, you either gasped in horror or took that in blankly. See, in the herbal world, are Queen. However, I just don’t enjoy how they taste, and this is SERIOUS sacrilege.
🍃
I do, though, know just how magnificent Nettles are. So when I felt myself getting low- tired, lethargic, sad, cold- and put it together with a heavy cycle and bumping up my exercise, I realized I needed Nettles.
🍃
An “overnight infusion” is a classic way to drink your Nettles. You just pour boiling water over a pile of Nettles, fresh or dried, or a handful of teabags, and let it sit overnight. All that time extracts so many minerals from this truly wonderful plant, including Iron. So much Iron. Yeech.🤢
🍃
“Holistic Lifestyling” is my way of explaining how connected and interdependent you are, like a whole garden right there inside your skin. When it comes to caring for yourself, there’s no magic pill- and part of the reason is that regardless of how “perfect” an herb or an exercise might be, if you can’t or won’t do it, it won’t help you at all- that’s in the Lifestyle part.
🍃
So I made my overnight Nettle infusion, and then heated it up this morning with a good handful of Hibiscus from I knew I’d never drink it plain, but add something red and tart and I’m a happy camper. Part of working with me is letting me help you find what makes you a happy camper too, so the “doing” of our work is the least-hard part of it all!
