- Nettles infusion — anti-histamine, blood alkalizer, strengthens nervous system, not sedating, but toning by feeding nervous system (nervine) par boil or steam the nettles if putting them in salads or pesto (stinging nettles); detoxify and alkalyze
- Wild oats: (not domesticated oat grain), milky tops of wild oats, spring plant coming up early; feeds the nerves; especially good for people in urban areas, especially with electronic activity blasting your nervous system; good as fresh – use tincture 5 drops 3-4x/day; glutin allergies might react to wild oats
