Harvest nettles before they flower: they are more vigorous (nutrients are released into the flowers after flowering). Choose young shoots only a few centimeters long.
• Young nettles can be prepared as an infusion; older ones should be boiled briefly to neutralize the stinging effect.
Nettle and alcohol for healthy hair and joint pain relief.
This is an excellent home remedy for external use. Nettle prepared with alcohol is an excellent natural solution for withdrawal symptoms and also helps with joint and muscle pain and swelling.
This is especially useful for people suffering from rheumatism or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Recipe:
• Using a wooden spoon, pour the fresh nettles into a 300ml glass jar until it’s about three-quarters full. Add the remaining alcohol (vodka or rakija).
• Close the container tightly and leave to rest for 4 days, pressing the nettle every day with a wooden spatula.
• After 4 days, filter through cheesecloth.
