Soft‑Dried White Dead‑Nettle
Gentle Gut & Bladder Forage
Tender tops of white dead‑nettle (Lamium album) picked before flowering, then air‑dried until soft and velvety. A sting‑free cousin of the true nettle, it’s naturally mild, slightly sweet, and prized in traditional herb lore for soothing tummies and supporting healthy urine flow.
