• Harvest nettles before flowering: They are more vigorous (nutrients are released into the flowers after flowering). Choose young shoots that are only a few centimeters long.
• Young nettles can be prepared as an infusion; older nettles 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 pain and swelling in joints and muscles.
This is especially useful for people suffering from rheumatism or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Recipe:
• Using a wooden spoon, place the fresh nettles into a 300 ml glass jar until it is about three-quarters full. Add the remaining alcohol (vodka or rakija).
• Close the container tightly and let it stand for 4 days, pressing the nettle with a wooden spatula each day.
• After 4 days, filter through cheesecloth.
