In early spring, the nettle sheds its leaves. You can find it everywhere - in parks, yards, mountains, where nothing else can grow. It is undemanding to the terrain, independent and durable. It was once the first food in the spring.
Nettle contains the so-called organic iron, which is mainly in red blood cells. Anemia, helplessness and weakness are due to the lack of this organic iron.
Feeding nettles is able to purify the blood and increase the transport of oxygen. Picking it in the spring, we capture the first solar energy that illuminates its leaves. Everyone who needs energy after the winter should turn to it.
Nettle can grow both outdoors and in pots, and can be used at any time, as a medicinal tea or brewed - even raw, as a salad, with fat. It is recommended to anyone who can take the time to type it.
Nettle can be consumed all year round. In the spring it helps against spring fatigue, in the winter it will help when we have overdosed on the holiday food, and if we are busy in everyday life, we can try to replace coffee with nettle tea.
Collecting and drinking nettles seems easy. However, this is not entirely true. There are a few recommendations to follow when we decide to pick it up and use it. One of them is related to the picking process. If we want to carry out treatment to purify the blood or eliminate spring fatigue, we must take the nettle at the waning moon.
For other medicinal plants, the opposite is true. Nettle tea is drunk again at the waning moon and between 15-19 for better effect. The best is the young, spring nettle.
It is good to choose a clean place for picking nettles. It is best if there is water nearby. In no case should it be picked in populated areas and around roads.
Remember to pick only the tips of the nettle, not the whole plant. Gloves are used for this purpose, because, although useful, nettle burns are also quite painful.
You can help yourself with scissors, and collect the collected in envelopes. When you get home, spread the harvested nettle for a few days in a colorful shade to dry.
Apart from healing and strengthening the immunity, nettle is also used to make a number of culinary temptations, typical for Bulgarian cuisine.
