My favorite leaf – Nettles (I should have a pic of this hike) Once when I lived in England I accidentally sat in a nettle bush attempting to wee on the side of a hiking path. I’m not sure how I missed seeing it but it was quite entertaining (to other parties)! Nettles have little stingers that are triggered by pressure and they shoot right into your skin, burning and itching. Now, you can easily wilt nettle greens, completely eliminating the finger trauma, or you can take it

My favorite underappreciated herb – Chamomile We all know Chamomile as part of the bedtime teas that are common available. But good quality infusions of chamomile help inflammatory bowel disease, soothe skin rashes and itchy spots. It is GREAT for kids because it is so mild tasting. Your chamomile should really be smelly – a bad tea won’t smell like much, a good one will have lots of volatile oils in evidence. #chamomile #inflammatoryboweldisease #sootheskin #rashes #itchines
