Nettle is a plant that has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties. Nettle leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. In traditional medicine, nettle has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including allergies, joint pain, and skin conditions. Nettle is also said to have a positive effect on the digestive system, helping to soothe digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and constipation. Additionally, nettle is said to have a nourishing effect on the adrenal glands, helping to reduce stress and support overall health.

Nettle has metaphysical properties that are associated with protection, purification, and grounding. It is often used in rituals and ceremonies for protection, purifying negative energies, and promoting grounding and stability.

To perform a protection ritual with Nettle, burn the herb as a smudge, visualizing negative energies being banished and replaced with positive, protective energies. Alternatively, add the herb to a salt bath with essential oils of Sage and lavender. Adding Quartz, Shungite, Amethyst, and Red Jasper to the bath soak can promote grounding, cleansing, and protection.
