Minerals
Did you know?
We need minerals for so many body functions. From bone strength to neurological function, since our soil are so often stripped of nutrients and most of us don’t eat enough high quality fruits and vegetables, many of us are mineral deficient.
Nettles
Dark leafy green herbs like Nettles can Help! Nettles are full of magnesium, iron, potassium, manganese, and more.
A few other examples of high mineral herbs are:
Red Clover
Chickweed
Milky Oats
Red Clover
Trifolium pratense
Chickweed
Stellaria media
Milky Oats and Oatstraw
Avena sativa
A great way to capture the essential minerals in these plants is to make a vinegar!
I like to use apple cider vinegar to make my mineral-rich herb infused vinegars!
