Nettleleaf horsemint
medicinal Mints
Mints are a wonderful way to begin a healing journey with herbs.
They are generally considered safe and have many uses. Nettleleaf Horsemint is absolutely one of those plant allies. Like all mints, she is great for digestion, stomach aches, and colds. She loves to relieve minor and severe pains in the back and associated with rheumatism. She can be used internally, as well as externally as a poultice of mashed up leaves and applied to swellings. One of her surprising and very exciting traits is to help us with dreamwork or “Lucid Dreaming”.
Another wonderful plant for the dreamers!
