How to make a Nettle Infusion
An infusion is considered the most medicinally potent water-based herbal preparation. It generally contains a great deal of herbal matter and is steeped for a long time. In the case of a stinging nettle infusion, it should be steeped overnight with the resulting drink a deep green in color. It is super easy to make a nettle infusion. You should use only organic stinging nettles (urtica dioica) that are of course free of pesticides. Our nettle tea leaves are certified organic, non-GMO and grown in the Green Mountains of Vermont.
Directions:
Place one heaped tablespoon of dried nettles in a quart mason jar.
Pour hot, not boiling, spring water over the nettle leaves.
Close lid on jar and leave overnight.
Strain out leaves.
Add 1/4 cup lemon juice (optional)
Sweeten with honey (optional)
Nettle Tea is an adaptagen and so it works well with other flavors. Try adding a peppermint tea bag to the mix or even a chai tea bag for completely different flavors. Do not however add a ginger tea bag if treating for kidney issues.

GOOD ARTICLE ABOUT NETTLES AND MAKE THE TEA
Nettle tea is springtime’s natural elixir. One of the earliest green plants to emerge each spring, nettles can be easily brewed into a tea which has healthful, restorative benefits which boost the immune system and awaken the body to spring.
The benefits of nettles have been documented for centuries, with claims both anecdotal and scientific, that nettles treat a wide range of maladies. Nettle tea is used to improve heart action, for headaches and for any internal bleeding. Nettle is said to be extremely beneficial for the kidneys, being useful in expelling gravel from the bladder and dissolving kidney stones. It is a powerful blood purifier that drives out toxins and metabolic wastes by stimulating the kidneys to excrete more water. Nettle tea is said to clean out the entire intestinal tract while activating the body’s natural defense mechanisms. It is used as an overall health tonic and to treat high blood pressure, anemia, skin inflammations and more.

LOTS OF REMEDIES FOR THE STINGS INCLUDING IN COMMENTS

For stinging nettle burns/stings, place sticky tape on afflicted areas and pull off (the tiny spines will be mostly removed), follow with a dabbing (not rubbing) of hydrogen peroxide (it bubbles the remaining spines up and away), rinse and pat dry. This works very well for me though I am extremely sensitive to nettles. I got significant relief in minutes instead of the days I had to wait until the stinging stopped.
I LIKE THIS
Good!

NETTLE HAS MAGNESIUM
FOOD SOURCES OF MAGNESIUM
As we’ve mentioned, if farm soils are well-mineralized, leafy green vegetables, seeds, tree nuts and whole grains are fairly good sources of magnesium. Certain wild-crafted forage foods really stand out, however, such as nettles (860 mg per 100 grams) and chickweed (529 mg per 100 grams), and add many tonic and nutritive benefits to both human and livestock diets largely due to their high mineral content. Kelp, ancient denizen of the sea, contains spectacular levels, as do most sea vegetables. Remember that they are continually bathed in a solution whose third most abundant mineral is magnesium. And authentic, unrefined sea salt is a very good source of magnesium, along with trace minerals. Utilizing bone broths on a daily basis will provide another excellent source of minerals, including magnesium, in a highly assimilable form.
