Pure, simple, and elegant, "Stinging Nettles" are an ancient plant long recognized and valued by ancient cultures, aboriginal peoples, and natural healers for "...all that ails you..."
Nettles are rich in vitamins A, B, C, E & K, and are abundant in natural minerals. They are very high in iron, protein, and essential amino acids, and in fact have the highest protein of any vegetable or plant on Earth. Nettles are traditionally used to cleanse and clear the urinary tract: the liver and kidneys, and for prostate problems; they are believed to help relieve hay fever and asthma, and are used as a tonic for the blood, for menopausal symptoms, and to brighten and clarify the skin, eyes, and hair. Nettles are also used for treating joint and muscle inflammations such as arthritis, rheumatism, gout, sprains, strains, and tendonitis, and have been shown to have a mild anti-inflammatory effect. Nettles are used to help lower blood sugar levels, as an expectorant, and for their anti-viral properties.
Nettles are truly one of nature's greatest healing and nurturing plants!
Nettles have been eaten and enjoyed all around the world for generations, and are wildly loved for their delicious, refreshing, enlivening, and nutritional properties. They are a traditional survival food for pioneering homesteaders, who prize the tender spring plants, which are used like spinach. Once nettles are dried and/or cooked, they lose their "sting" and can be easily handled and heartily consumed. Our 1-1/2 cup dry nettles package is perfect for tucking into your survival stash to reconstitute later for use as a "daily leafy green" in your balanced and varied diet. The small bag of "Plen-Tea" dried nettles is more than enough to support the "leafy green" nutritional needs of two adults, for one week. Add a healthy pinch of "Plen-Tea" Nettles to your favorite soups, sauces, and other recipes for a hearty and robust body, texture, and taste. Mixture may contains some blossoms and seeds.
Plen-Tea Nettles also make the best tea! ...delicious, refreshing, light and invigorating. You'll love it!
Use approximately 1/3 cup of dried "Plen-Tea" nettles per gallon of tea.
(Our small 1-1/2 bag of dry nettles makes 4-1/2 gallons of tea!) Brew traditionally or use for sun tea. Delicious hot or cold, plain, sweetened, or flavored to taste.

Our light-hearted and light-bodied "Hilari-Tea" mix features our finest wild-crafted Pineapple Weed (aka wild or false camomile) including the whole flower cones and the fine, lacy top leaves, added to a base of our fabulous Plen-Tea 100% Natural Green Nettles Tea.
Pineapple Weed (Matricaria matricaioides) is native to the Pacific Northwest, and smells vaguely like pineapple fruit or ripe apples. As tea, the lovely cone-shaped flower heads acts to calm the nerves and stomach, and expel gas from the digestive tract, and is often used as a treatment for diarrhea. It is a known is antispasmodic, carminative, galactogogue, sedative, and skin vermifuge.
Pineapple Weed has long been used for stomachaches, flatulence, as a mild relaxant and for colds and menstrual problems. The tea is soothing and helps to calm frazzled nerves and insomnia. In weak tea form it is especially useful for ill children with colds, colic, and for teething infants. Children love the taste and smell! When applied externally as a wash, it acts to hinder itching and soothe skin and scalp sores. Native Americans give it to a new mother after birth, believing it helps to bring in good healthy milk.
Similar to chamomile, but sweeter and milder, Pineapple weed is often used as a perfume or aromatic and to soften and freshen the skin. It is also often used as an insect repellant.
"Hilari-Tea is also very nice added to casseroles and stir frys, and compliments muffin, cookie, and bread recipes (add to dough before baking).

honey-flavored flowers,
and the faint cucumber-flavored leaves of Borage
in a base of our delicious "Plen-Tea" 100% Natural Green Nettles Tea
.. lovingly blended to celebrate your radiant health!,
Borage is an ancient plant long used to relieve melancholy, and afflictions of the spirit,
Since ancient times, Borage (Borago officinalis) has been used as a tonic plant for the adrenal glands, and to provide an invaluable support for a stressful lifestyle. It is used worldwide as a potherb and tea for the comfort of the heart, for the driving away of sorrow, and for increasing the joy of the mind. Borage has long been used to make one "....glad and merry, and drive away all sadness, dullness and melancholy..."
Celtic warriors drank borage-flavored wine to give them courage.
Borage is a member of the same family as comfrey. The plant contains potassium and calcium combined with mineral acids and nitrate of potash, and is a popular remedy for skin blemishes. It is a cooling, saline, diuretic herb, which increases perspiration and has mild sedative and antidepressive properties.
A tea with borage helps to reduce fevers and ease chest colds and is often used as a diuretic, demulcent, and emollient, and for fevers and pulmonary complaint. Borage promotes the activity of the kidneys and as a restorative agent on the adrenal cortex believed to revive and renew the adrenal glands after a medical treatment with cortisone or steroids.
Borage is a fairly common domestic herbal remedy that has been used since ancient times. It is a rich and natural source of essential fatty acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA)! Has anti-inflammatory properties and may help maintain healthy skin, joint and cardiovascular function. It has a particularly good reputation for its beneficial affect on the mind, being used to dispel melancholy and induce euphoria. It is a soothing saline, diuretic herb that soothes damaged or irritated tissues. The leaves, and to a lesser extent the flowers, are demulcent, diaphoretic, depurative, mildly diuretic, emollient, expectorant, febrifuge, lenitive and mildly sedative. The tea is used in the treatment of a range of ailments including fevers, chest problems and kidney problems, although it should not be used by people with liver problems. Externally it is used as a poultice for inflammatory swellings.
"Hospitali-Tea" is a delicious, rejuvenating tea, perfect for serving guests to provide a warm welcome and a feeling of the comfort of home. It also tastes great.

Perk up your boring cuisine, and add a powerfully gentle spark to your day
with "Nasti"-Salt's savory promise of grand adventures!
Pungent, Powerful, and gently peppery-tasting (similar to the taste of watercress)
"Nasti"-Salt has the distinctive and long-prized "radish-y" taste of pure, refreshing old-world (Peruvian) Nasturtium Flowers and Leaf, blended in pure, clean sea salt.
Perfect and delightfully colorful in your table shaker, or in a crock at the stovetop for adding a daring dash to your ordinary and bland carbohydrate dishes: rice, potatoes, pastas, sandwiches, soft cheeses, etc....
"Nasti"-Salt is an "old world formula" just perfect as the "new taste in food" we've all been craving! In fact, Nasturtium flower and leaf is frequently recommended for stimulating the appetite and aiding digestion.
Sprinkle on salads, add to egg dishes or vegetables, great on chicken wings and broiled meats....or simply use as a fanciful, colorful, and attention-getting garnish...let your imagination go wild! Nasturtium is known to be an effective treatment for the symptoms of topical and internal bacterial infections, most especially those affecting the skin and urinary tract, as well as the respiratory and digestive systems. It can also be used to treat fungal infections, such as Candida. Colds and flu's may be remedied by this herb as well, although whether nasturtium has antiviral properties is still unknown.
Lively and provocative, colorful and daring, dashing and adventurous ...a little "Nasti"-Salt goes a long way! High in vitamin A, C , and D, and said to "...help filters excessive energy out of your head and into your body." Our all natural old-world heirloom Nasturtium plants (Nasturtiums originate from South America and were brought to Europe by the conquistadors in the sixteenth century), have volunteered year-after-year, without cultivation or propagation, on our old-fashioned family farm and homestead that's nestled alongside a year-round creek in a little valley halfway between the Olympic Mountain Range and the Cascade Mountain Range in southcentral Washington State. The plants have regrown true to strain year after year, without replanting, and have never had pesticides or other modern chemicals used anywhere close to them.
