🌿🌿HARVESTING NETTLE🌿🌿
Yesterday I went out to a local Organic Farm to gather a huge bagful of Nettle.🌿🌿
There was a massive area of land covered in the Nettle. My purpose for harvesting it was to add to a batch of my Vegan Soap.🌿🌿
From what I have read about using Nettle in Soap, it's a light skin cleanser, less intense than Charcoal powder, drawing out toxins from the skin. Nettle is anti inflammatory and has other skin benefits with all the Vitamins and Minerals it contains 🌿🌿
I got home and boiled up a big saucepan of water and added half my Nettle, stems, leaves and buds. I left it to boil for a while, then turned off the heat and left it to cool overnight.🌿🌿
This morning I strained out the wilted Nettle (will be great in my Compost) and have ended up with nearly 3 litres of dark green Nettle Tea!!🌿🌿
The rest of my Nettle collection I have hung from the beams over my woodfire to dry, so I have some to use another time!! Now just about to make a big batch of Nettle Soap.....stay tuned!!🌿🌿🙏🙏
