“When in doubt, use nettles” David Hoffman,

Nettles are often a favourite herb of western herbalists, so join us at Herb Folk this month of find out why. 

Our guest educator is naturopath and kids herbal author Alyson Maier, who’ll share about nettles’:

* history + folkore
* herbal actions
* energetics
* how to grow and harvest
* how to use nettles as food and medicine
* how to make medicine
* safety and contraindications

We’ll get hands on making a foragers nettle soup and while that’s cooking, Alyson will demonstrate how to make a nettle and rosemary hair oil. 

Alyson will also read us her newly released kids herbal book on Nettles which you can pre-order now.

I love learning herbs in-depth like this as you really get a feel for the core personality and essence of each herb. It’s this depth of knowledge that helps you confidently know when and how to use nettles in daily life.
