You’ve probably walked right past it without realizing its value…
That small plant with fuzzy, heart-shaped leaves and tiny purple flowers?
👉 That’s Purple Deadnettle, and despite the name, it doesn’t sting at all!
Often mistaken for a weed, it’s actually one of nature’s hidden gems—used for centuries in folk medicine.
Purple Deadnettle is edible, medicinal, and gentle on the body. It’s not a true nettle, and it offers many health benefits:
🩸 Anti-inflammatory & wound healing – great for minor cuts, scrapes, bug bites, and skin irritation.
🦠 Antibacterial & antiviral – helps support the immune system and fight infections.
💧 Astringent & soothing – useful for acne-prone or irritated skin.
🌸 Natural detoxifier – supports the liver and kidneys in flushing out toxins.
🍃 Rich in vitamins A & C and antioxidants – boosts immunity and overall wellness.
You can eat the young leaves! Here are some ideas:
Toss them in a fresh salad
Blend into a wild greens pesto
Steep into a mild herbal tea
Add to soups or omelets for extra nutrients
