Do you know what stinging nettle is? It is a mean little weed that has spines all over it's stems and leaves, and, if you touch them, it injects a little bit of acid into your skin for a day's worth of burning and itching. Sometimes rubbing a maple leaf over it will neutralize the effect. When we bought our property 30 years ago, we had a forest of stinging nettles and burdock to clean out. We have worked very hard to eliminate most of them. So this year, I have watched youtube videos about gardening and herbs, and, they are saying stinging nettle tea is great for arthritis and inflammation. What? I did some research....
I definitely wore gloves to gather them. I still had an elbow get bit. I dried them and sure enough, I could touch them and crumble them.
