Took myself for a little evening walk on the wild side - found some lovely violets, lots of elderflower, nettles gone to seed, wild yarrow and in the front some cleavers - also known as “sticky Willy” as they have a tendency to cling to you! They’re excellent medicine for clearing toxins from the body, decreasing congestion and stimulating the lymphatic system. Yarrow which can be brewed into a tea enhances circulation and may reduce high blood pressure. Going to dry out the nettles in the sun (yes it’s sunny in Ireland!) and take the seeds off to make a gomasio like condiment. Nettle seeds are supposedly wonderful tonic for the kidney and adrenals. Loving country life! ☘️😍 #wildfoods#walkonthewildside #foraging#feasting#eatfromnature #abundance #irishcountryliving #homesweethome#irishchef #goodtobehome
