🌱 Spring Vitality & Renewal
In this video we meet Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) — one of the most nourishing and abundant spring herbs, and a powerful ally for rebuilding strength as we enter the new astrological year.
With the New Moon in Aries, energy begins to rise again.
After the slower, clearing phases of late winter and early spring, this is a time for movement, vitality, and renewal.
Nettle supports this shift by deeply nourishing the body, building the blood, and helping us reconnect with strength and resilience.
🌿 In this video we explore:
How to identify and harvest young spring nettles
Why nettle is such a powerful nutritive and mineral-rich tonic Its traditional use for blood building, fatigue, and vitality
How it supports conditions like gout, rheumatism, and joint stiffness
The meaning of the nettle sting and its traditional uses
🍲 Ways to work with nettle:
Nourishing nettle tea / mineral infusion
Traditional nettle soup
Using nettle as a wild food in everyday cooking
A look ahead to nettle seeds and root later in the year
We also touch on folklore, seasonal rhythms, and how nettle supports the transition from winter into the active energy of spring.

This video accompanies a longer Substack article, where I explore the herb more deeply — its medicinal properties, folklore, and its place in the seasonal shift from winter to spring.
