THE POWER OF STINGING NETTLES
October 14, 2024Medicinally I feel they are often overlooked, with many herbalists preferring the annual polypore Reishi. RBP has many of the same properties as Reishi Mushroom. It has bitter and cooling properties. Its actions include Regulating blood sugar, improves immune system function, helpful for rheumatoid arthritis, improves digestive function, absorption and elimination, improves hepatic function, reduces systemic inflammation, reduces menstrual cramping and pain, reduces digestive inflammation/ulcers, increases neutrophil count, systemic tonic, reduces headaches, anti-tumoral, stops bleeding for topical wounds, traditional for fevers and chills. It is considered Styptic, Immunomodulatory, Anti-tumoral, stomachic, hepatic detoxifier, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-histaminic, circulatory stimulant, emetic in high doses.It can be very helpful for people with immune system problems, MS, Lupus, Chronic pain, preventing cancers and so much more.
Once you have harvested your RBP spore pad it is important to process it by cutting it into strips before it dries and becomes hard. I use scissors to cut it into strips before leaving it our to dry. RBP lends itself great to a tea or ground and added to coffee. The hot water extract contains Polysaccharides and anti inflammatory properties. To get the anti tumour and other properties and the mushrooms full benefits it will need to be tinctured in alcohol. and then extracted in water. The two liquids are then blended together to make what is called a double extraction tincture. This is something you can buy here in my store. It is always important to harvest as sustainably as possible, use all you take and only take what you need. Be kind to our Mother and she will continue to care for us.
