Purple nettle for your daily well-being
Its power doesn’t end there. It aids sleep, reduces stress and relieves tension after a long day. It is a real pampering ritual, ideal as a substitute for classic herbal tea.
Lovers of natural cosmetics can also use it as a skin tonic or hair balm: it helps fight acne, stimulates hair growth and soothes skin irritations.
A jewel for your garden and biodiversity
Purple nettle is not only useful for humans. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and pollinators, thus strengthening local biodiversity. After composting, it turns into a natural fertilizer, rich in nutrients for your plants.
It is such a discreet ally that works very gently in your garden.
How to use it every day?
Infusion: pour 250 ml of hot water over 1 tablespoon of fresh or dried leaves. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
In the kitchen: Add a few washed leaves to salads and soups.
External Use: Crush a few leaves and apply to the skin to soothe a sting, sunburn, or minor wound. Far from being an intruder in your garden, purple nettle is a veritable natural pocket knife. With its health-promoting properties, rich nutrient content, soothing properties, and biodiversity benefits, this plant truly deserves its nickname, “garden treasure.” So next time you see it… reach down, pick it up, and let it surprise you.
