The three look alikes are:

How to use Purple Dead Nettle...
You can use any above ground part.
*To make a tea, you can use it fresh or dryed. Just put some boiling water over it, steep and strain.
*You can put it on salads raw.
* You can also make a tincture out of it. Fill a jar 3/4 full of fresh plant material. Then pour vodka or brandy over it. Put a lid on the jar. Let sit 6-8 weeks. If using weaker alcohol or glycerin let sit longer.

Always take caution to correctly identify a plant when foraging.

Purple Dead Nettle 🌿

One of the first little plants to pop up in early spring—and it offers gentle, nourishing support for the body.

✨ Supports seasonal wellness and immune balance✨ Rich in antioxidants that help support cellular health✨ Contains natural compounds that support a healthy inflammatory response✨ Traditionally used to support skin comfort, minor irritations, and overall skin balance✨ Provides vitamins and minerals (like vitamin C and iron) that support energy and vitality✨ May support gentle detox pathways, including lymphatic flow✨ Traditionally used to support wound care when applied topically✨ Mildly astringent properties that support tissue tone and balance✨ Often used as a calming herbal tea to support overall wellness

This humble “weed” is a beautiful reminder that nature provides what we need, right when we need it 💜

Always be sure to properly identify wild plants before using.
