Urtica dioica. This is a small area of the meristem, a dense jungle of undergrowth, on the very top of a perennial plant that was a big part of my childhood. Mostly combating them when walking in the woods with my dog in the pacific northwest. The dense undergrowth is referring to the bacteria and fungi that have found a safe spot to flourish on the nettle. #botany #microbiology #microb #blackandwhite #stingingnettle #urtica #scanningelectronmicroscopy #electrons #fungi #nanoscape

@Regranned from @o.g.wiz.one - Healing Acne Naturally Cut back or cut out entirely all animal products, meat and dairy products. Eradicate all refined grains, even the tasty pastries (donuts, cookies, and cakes). They may taste good under the illusion of taste but they are no good health and nutrition-wise. Stop consuming caustic and effervescent beverages that are highly acidic like soda. Commercial brand fruit punches, fruit juice from concentrate, hot cocoa, coffee, energy drinks, booze (alcohol), etc. should also be left alone or cut down. Eat more raw fruits and vegetables. These are mostly alkaline, nutritious, and healing along with plenty of Spring water. Abstain from using commercial facial products as these mostly contain harmful chemicals. Wash your face with a good all-natural soap (some Black soaps are great) OR no soap at all. Scrub your face gently with a loofah brush or a wet cotton towel (in a circular motion). Do some deep cleansing action. This will help to open up pores. Beginning water on your face should be warm (helps open up pores) and after cleansing/scrubbing, use cold water (which helps to close pores). 👉Avoid using alcohol on your skin. The stuff burns because it is a poison. It is made from petroleum and has no business on your skin. Instead, use essential oil of tea tree oil and/or witch hazel (some brands may contain a small amount of alcohol, look for a brand containing no alcohol). Make sure you dilute the tea tree oil with water (whatever amount of water you use). Always use a botanical oil to use on your face and body, oils such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil, babassu oil, or grape seed. Facial steaming is something I highly recommend for skin care and for purposes of healing acne or any other skin disorder. You can buy a little compact unit for about $30.00 - $40.00 at Bed, Bath. Steaming greatly helps to open up pores and to release toxins from the skin. 👉To heal the skin you MUST start from the inside out. Period! To cleanse the blood, use Nature/Neter. Good blood cleansing herbs include #YellowDock Root, #BurdockRoot, #DandelionRoot and #StingingNettle (all of which are in the BlackRootTonic) to name a few. -
