I am excited to share with you the greatest superfood I know - nettle seeds! They help boost your energy, reduce inflammation, and help manage burn out, stress and adrenal exhaustion. 

The magic of nettle leaves

Stinging nettle grows all around us and has been used with great success for thousands of years. The whole plant is used in tinctures, creams, teas and as a food. My mum used to make nettle soup from fresh nettle in the spring and in early summer and it was so delicious!

I have been using nettle in my cooking for many years.

My favourite recipes include nettle soup, nettle pesto or nettle welted with garlic, just like spinach. I have even used it in desserts, like green muffins or pancakes with some spirulina. They look and taste great.

I also love nettle tea, which is deeply refreshing. I make it from fresh leaves that I pick on my daily walks.

The nettle leaves are meant to be used only when the plant is small – before it produces flowers.

Why do I walk barefoot?

Today I want to share with you the power of grounding. I can confidently say that grounding (earthing) has changed my life.

For me there is nothing more healing and rejuvenating than walking barefoot after a long day of sitting in front of my computer. All the tiredness, irritability, and headache, melt away within a few minutes of touching the ground. I always feel a sense of joy and peace filling up my body as soon as I connect to the Earth. I get a huge amount of nourishment from wild swimming, walking or growing vegetables.

In the last hundred or so years we have lost something vital for our health and wellbeing: our electrical connection to the Earth. With the advent of rubber and plastic soled shoes, and insulated mattresses in insulated houses, we spend our days and nights disconnected from the Earth.

Negatively charged particles are present on earth’s surface, and you can get negative electrons by planting your feet on the earth.
