The Gift of Nettles: Nature’s Immune Booster


Nettles are one of the most valuable plants you can find during this second spring. Their fresh shoots are packed with nutrients and compounds that help lower histamine levels, reduce inflammation, and ward off coughs, colds, and allergies.


Harvesting nettle shoots early ensures you get the most tender and potent parts of the plant. These young shoots can be used in teas, tinctures, or cooked as a nutritious green.


How nettles support your health:

  • Lower histamine to ease allergy symptoms

  • Reduce inflammation linked to respiratory issues

  • Provide vitamins A, C, iron, and antioxidants


When handling nettles, wear gloves to avoid their sting. Once cooked or dried, they lose their sting and become safe and beneficial to consume.


Creeping Ivy: An Overlooked Remedy for Respiratory Health


Creeping ivy is often seen as just a garden climber, but it holds surprising health benefits. Traditionally, ivy leaves have been used to ease respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and coughs.


Ivy contains saponins, which help loosen mucus and improve breathing. Making a tincture from fresh ivy leaves is a simple way to capture these benefits.


How to make an ivy tincture:

  • Pick fresh, healthy ivy leaves (avoid any with damage or discoloration)

  • Chop the leaves finely and place them in a clean glass jar

  • Cover the leaves with high-proof alcohol (like vodka)

  • Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks, shaking it occasionally

  • Strain the liquid and store it in a dark bottle


Use the tincture in small doses as a natural expectorant to support your lungs during cold seasons.


Building Immunity with Bespoke Treatments


This second spring is an ideal time to focus on your immunity. Creating a personalized bespoke treatment plans can help you feel stronger and more resilient. Combining natural remedies with therapeutic practices enhances your wellness journey.


Consider mixing these options to tailor your treatment:

  • Herbal tinctures and teas

  • Massage therapy to improve circulation and reduce stress

  • Facials or reflexology to stimulate healing and relaxation

  • Gua sha, cupping, or heated compresses to ease muscle tension

  • Hot stone therapy for deep relaxation and improved energy flow


You can choose the combination that fits your needs and lifestyle. These treatments not only support your immune system but also promote overall balance and well-being.
