Stay Healthy with Nettles, Dandelion and Rocket

The power of nature

There’s a wild plant remedy for everything: stinging nettles, dandelion and arugula (also known as rocket) are all plants with a long tradition of use as medicinal remedies, although their effect has increasingly been forgotten. Nettles can be used to help with allergies, rheumatic complaints, fatigue and burns. Dandelion is detoxifying and alleviates stomach disorders as well as gout pain. Arugula loosens the mucus that comes with respiratory diseases and soothes the vocal chords. The book includes many recipes for applications and selftreatment.
