When dried and powdered nettle is added to poultry food, this increases egg-production. Pigs do well on boiled Nettles. A bucket of nettles covered with rainwater and left soak for a week, strained and put into a spray acts as a useful insecticide in the garden against black fly and aphids.
There are several superstitious beliefs surrounding nettles:
- Dust nettle around the house to keep evil out and send it back.
- Throw nettle onto the fire to prevent danger.
- Hold in the hand to ward of ghosts.
- Dispel fears by carrying nettle with yarrow.
- Wear as a charm to keep negativity far away
Caution
Only use young leaves. Herbs contain active substances that can cause side effects and interact with other medications, herbs, or supplements. Therefore, herbs must be taken with care. Contact with skin can cause an allergic rash.
