In order to prepare this miracle medicine at home, you need to know what exactly (from which part of the nettle) you need to make an elixir. An important point before cooking is that you need to harvest correctly, otherwise the final result will not be what we would like. If the goal is to prepare a medicine from nettle leaves, then you should wait for the period when it will bloom. It is during this period that nettle contains the largest supply of nutrients.

The leaves should be carefully separated from the stem, after which they should be laid in two layers to dry. A very important point is that the leaves should be constantly turned over, otherwise they will turn black. After proper drying, the nettle leaves remain useful for another two years.

Nettle seed medicine is made using almost the same technique. Seeds are collected when the plant is fully ripe, after which the buds are cut and dried for 5 days. After this, thresh the buds to get the seeds, and then dry the seeds themselves for several more days.

One of the options for the "extraction" of useful substances from nettles is the roots. They gather until the ripening and movement of the nettle juice has begun. The roots must be cleaned, then chopped and dried in the sun.Roots are said to be much healthier than the leaves themselves. Medicinal drugs can also be made from nettle juice.

Before you start preparing this elixir, you first need to decide on the goal: therapeutic, cosmetic or preventive aspect. After that, you will need to determine the amount of the desired product, because at any time you can do more than throw away the spoiled medicine. And you can also add any other oils: chamomile, lemon, lavender, burdock - all that you want. But the main aspect is that there may be allergenic reactions to any components of this medicine, so do not forget and check. A few drops of the solution should be dripped onto the back of the wrist.

One of the simplest and relatively quick recipes for making nettle essential oil is such a standard option as:

• then pour in sunflower or olive oil;
• Allow this mixture to infuse until it begins to darken, it is advisable to store this mass in a cool, dark room; the approximate time for nettle oil to infuse is two weeks;
• all other ingredients can be added to your taste.

For example, the resulting mixture can be rubbed into the scalp before washing the hair or added to the shampoo or hair balm a few drops, and then wash your hair in the usual way - all this will give your hair a new life, they will become fresh, light and silky. No one has canceled skin care, so this extract can also be added to existing creams for the body or face.

A nice bonus will be the fact that nettle oil has a “healing” property from cellulite and stretch marks, which are so hateful to the fair sex. The recipe is also very simple: just add the nettle ether already made to the anti-cellulite cream or massage oils.

Another use of nettle oil? this is hair removal. For this method, seeds are most often used. According to one use case, the seeds should be rubbed into those areas of the skin on which unwanted hair grows. And also the seeds can be poured with oil and allowed to infuse, and then apply the resulting emulsion to the hairline. This method of hair removal is very individual.

However, along with the benefits of nettle, it can also hurt if you use it excessively or do not adhere to safety rules.

Do not eat a nettle plant as food if it has not passed a preliminary good heat treatment, since it can burn the entire mucous membrane of the body.

Various reviews can be heard from people. Some are categorical and claim that there is no benefit from it, while others, on the contrary, inspire everyone that nettle saved them from hair loss, from problem skin or problems with the gastrointestinal tract. However, you should not be guided by the opinion of people, since everything is individual. Each human body is able to perceive and respond to certain factors in its own way.
