Don't destroy it, use it!

Or get out, but aside from the joke, we know it’s still a useful herb. Already as a child, we experience the sting of nettles, which our parents immediately told us that it is not a problem if it hurts, at least our immune system strengthens, we become stronger. Even if that’s the case, we’ll probably consciously avoid the nettle from now on so we don’t have to go through the burning pain again. It is not a beloved plant in the garden either, especially if there are children. Instead of making an attempt to eradicate nettle, it would be much more worthwhile to think about its collection and use. Let's say the arguments.

Hiking in the woods can often come with nettles, which is why many consider it a weed. However, with just a few variations, it is much more of an herb.

Tea reduces inflammation in the body and can be used as an adjunct treatment for any disease because it does no harm. In men, it can reduce prostate enlargement.

Not only can it be used as a tea and herb, but it can even be incorporated into our meals as a leafy vegetable. It can be made from soups, vegetables, is also excellent for salads. At the same time, the beauty industry has also discovered its effectiveness, so nettle bathing reduces the inflammatory problems of the skin, strengthens the nails.
