Nettles Nourish Naturally
Today I’m sharing one of the herbs I reach for the most, especially during the holiday stretch when sugar sneaks in everywhere, schedules are messy, and everyone seems to be catching something. Nettles have been one of my favorites for years. If you’ve ever wondered why some people swear by this humble, mineral-rich plant, this episode will make you see it differently.
I’m breaking down what makes nettles so special, why I lean on them right now, and how they help the body stay grounded when life gets a little chaotic. I’ll also walk you through how I use them, who tends to benefit the most from daily nettles, and the situations where this herb isn’t the right fit.
In this episode, I’m exploring:
- Why nettles outperform a lot of “flashier” herbs
- How holiday stress, sugar, travel, and viral exposure drain your mineral reserves
- The way minerals influence mood, immunity, cravings, and calm
- My go-to morning nettle blend and why I don’t skip it this time of year
- The types of people who usually notice the biggest difference with daily nettles
- The simplest ways to prepare nettles so your body actually uses what’s inside
- When nettles aren’t the right herb and what to watch for
This is a good episode for anyone feeling a little depleted, overstimulated, undernourished, or just curious about how one plant can do so much by giving us what we’re often missing.
