RE: My Ten Favourite Items for Camping and Survival

Ha that might be true! Some.people like to put themselves in nettle intentionally as well .. I think it does give you a buzz of some sort! Wasn't it the Romans who used to put them in their winter boots to improve feet circulation or something?

Sort:  

Wow, I never knew that about the Romans. Only how some people fill their bathtub with nettles and lay down in it. Supposedly it prevents rheumatism.

Yes, I guess because of circulation? There's also anecdotal evidence re arthritic knees and woman slapping their knees with it to very good effect. It's little bits of knowledge like this that stand you in good stead for times when we may not have access to conventional medicine.

A-men to that! Let's keep the knowledge alive.
