Help & Advice: Nettle juice and itchy skin | | | Is there a recipe for nettles or spring nettles soup or something similiar, which can be used to help ease an under skin itch? | | | Paula Kelly |
| | Hi Paula,
Try this. It's very nutritious and a great blood cleanser. Also young nettle tops steamed with a little butter and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper is great for eating and will help.
With positive health

Nettle Potassium broth:
Ingredients: 50gm/2oz washed young nettle tops, 125gm/4oz washed and diced carrot; 125gm/4oz washed and chopped celery with leaves; 50gm/2oz washed and shredded raw spinach, cabbage or greens; One litre// one and three quarters of a pint of water; 2tbs washed and chopped parsley; 1 tbs washed and chopped chives:
Method: Add all the vegetables to the water in a large saucepan, cover, bring to the boil, and simmer for 30 minutes. If desired add 1 teaspoonful marmite or organic marigold buillon and a small pinch of cayenne pepper. This potassium rich broth can be served as a clear soup, discarding the cooked vegetables, or liquidized if preferred to make a thicker soup. Serve with a sprinkling of finely chopped parsley and/or chives. A cup of cooked brown rice can be added to the soup a few minutes before serving if desired.
