Nettle

Turns out you could do with Nettle, and a lot of it. I'm afraid you're max-level-stressed (exhaustion stage).

This means you've been going through stress for a very long time indeed. It's worn you down and now you need to concentrate on nourishing yourself, taking time to rest and relax.

Nettle is like a food. It's high in Vitamin A, B, C, D and K as well as iron so helps replenish the system. It can be drunk as often as you want but you should have it at least 3 times a day. It'll take a few months for this to build up in the system and you might want to see a herbalist. But you’ll find Nettle in our Aunt Flo drinking chocolate and Soothe + Comfort tea.

It's likely that you need some personalised advice as Nettle is a tonic best combined with relaxants and adaptogens in this situation. You can find out more about seeing a herbalist by clicking the link below.

Always consult your health practitioner before trying a new herb.
