Physical use

Nettle is a clever plant, with all its parts being used in herbal medicine. Each part of the plant targets different areas of the body. The nutrient-rich leaf is used to treat skin and joint conditions. The root of the plant is specifically antiprostatic, meaning it reduces symptoms related to the prostate gland. Nettle seed acts as a kidney tonic, helping to strengthen and enhance kidney function.

Energetic use

Nettle guides us inward, encouraging us to pause, be present, and trust our emotions. It serves as a reminder when we may be moving too quickly or without awareness of the present moment. When we are still and present, we become more open to new forms of nourishment. Synchronicities, messages, and opportunities for growth are all around us – pay attention to what you are receiving.

  • Allow your hard exterior to soften, and accept compliments graciously
  • Open your arms and heart to receive, trusting that you can handle life’s complexities
