Stinging Nettle
This week I continue my BLOG posts on various Herbs from my book Northern Plant Lore - this week is Stinging Nettle.
Keep in mind that all the herbs in my book were ones that are documented in the old Anglo-Saxon texts, and that have been proven effective scientifically by the German Commission E study.
* Personal Note - I had my first encounter with Stinging Nettle on a business trip to London. I went jogging one afternoon through a lovely meadow....Yikes! I had no clue what it was, or why it was (aptly) called Stinging Nettle. The hairs are like getting glass needles stuck in you - very irritating. Wear proper clothing while gathering this :)
This Article has two parts. The Herb and Leaf have certain uses, and the Root has different uses. So I present two separate tables for your reading pleasure.
Learn where to find it, how to grow it, get detailed historical information and more:
Northern Plant Lore: A Field Guide to the Ancestral Use of Plants in Northern Europe
 |
Authored by Eoghan Odinsson,
Foreword by Stephen Pollington,
Over a thousand years ago the Anglo-Saxons used willow bark to treat headaches; modern pharmaceutical companies use the same basic ingredient - salicin.
They boiled the bark in holy water and added a few other unnecessary ingredients, but they had a basic treatment that worked a millennia ago! And they called this the Dark Ages?
Northern Plant Lore explores the plants and herbs used by the Anglo Saxons for medicinal purposes, and compares them to the list of plant and herbs proven effective by modern medical science. Not every plant they used worked, but Northern Plant Lore will show you which ones did, and how you can use them today.
