Henry here again. Every single time I come here, since you moved to Barcelona, I leave here filling warm and soft and reflective. No newsletter had given me that.

Thank God for mum, thank God for growth, thank you for being present in your journey. Sorry about the flu and those remedies should bang.

Feel better soon. I incorporate a cold infusion of 1 cup Nettles and 1/4 cup Marshmallow, dried leaves and stems, into a quart jar. Fill jar with herbs and top off with cold water, let sit overnight. Heat can destroy many good properties in herbs, and why the cold infusion.

Thanks so much Gayle! I think the cold infusion strategy is super smart! I’m really looking forward to trying this. Never had nettles before but I’ll go searching , also do you mean like regular haribo marshmallows?

Haha, no sugar when sick 😁 there's a dried plant/herb called Marshmallow. Also, you can always play wit amounts by lessenin or adding any dried amounts. Marshmallow tends to mellow stronger herb flavors. I forgot to add that you will strain the liquid in the morning after your brew sits all night. There's just so much goodness in Nettles, and it's often written as "Stinging Nettles".
