Easy to Make Healing Nettles Infusions!
I love my nettles infusions! Nettles infusions are a nutritive and strengthening tonic for the entire body. This delightful herbal infusion is full of chlorophyll and iron. Infusions are a tasty and easy way to support the body with additional nutrients.
Nettles infusions are a great blood purifier and fatigue fighter. Because they are in high in iron, they are very supportive for women around their monthly moon cycle. If you’ve been feeling run down or fatigued, especially around your cycle, you should consider incorporating nettle infusions for an extra nutritional boost.
It is said that if you drink a quart a day for a month, your energy will return to you. I began drinking nettles infusions consistently when I went through a phase of extreme fatigue. I would have to say that it worked like a charm. After drinking a quart a day consistently for about 3 weeks, I felt more lively and energized than I had in months.
Nettles is also a good herb for protection, hex breaking and reversal spells. To create a nettles infusion for protection, charge and bless the nettles with your intent and maintain your focused intent as you make the infusion. While its brewing, you can place the jar on your altar within a circle of charged protective stones such as black tourmaline and smokey quartz. You can also sprinkle some nettles around the jar with the stones. To further charge the brew, you can chant over it, breathe on it and ask your protective spirits to lend their protection and blessings to the charged mixture.
While drinking a cup of your magickally brewed nettles imagine the infusion flowing throughout your body, nourishing your adrenal glands, protecting your organs, helping to clean your blood, and extending its protective plant energy outward around you strengthening your aura with a nice protective glow.
The taste of nettles is kind of green, not super green like a shot of wheatgrass, but more of a green tasting ice tea. I prefer to drink it cold with nothing added, but if the taste is too strong for you, try using it as a base for a soup. Drink a quart of this infusion in divided does throughout the day. Use nettles infusions consistently for a few weeks to yield the results. Give it a try and see how you feel!
