Stinging Nettle // The name says it all; if you touch this plant, it will hurt! Acid in the hairs of this plant result in a burn like skin reaction. Use baking soda, the spores from a sword fern or a nearby banana slug to help soothe the discomfort. --- If you can avoid the sting, Nettle can make a delicious, nutritious meal. Cook it (bake or blanch) to neutralize the acid. It can be used to make sauces such as pesto, or brewed into a tea. --- #herbalmumbles #herbalism #forager #forestfood #stingingnettle #freefood #medicinalplant #herbalist #pnw #witchywoman #hedgewitch #greenwitch #herbalwisdom #kitchenwitch #homeremedies #herbaltea (at Columbia Springs)
