Hello Susun Weed,
I first discovered your work looking for a way to prepare nettle and
have been reading your ezine for a many months now.
I have a question to which I cannot find an answer. Maybe you can
help: Can I mix nettle and hawthorn and drink about one litre a day
on a regular basis, like I do with straight nettle?
Many thanks for your response,
Hello,
Yes, we think of simples as one herb prepared on its own. If you feel there
could be concern with adverse reaction, you might start with one herb and
use that for one week, once you feel its working with you rather than
against you, then you can try another for one week, etc...when you then
know each herb you plan to work with, the use of them can be interchanged.
For instance, I may take a dropperful of hawthorne berry tincture each
morning, and I drink nourishing herbal infusion of nettles with breakfast,
and then some oatstraw infusion in the afternoon. If I am sick or feel the
need, I may add to that dosages of Echinacea or yarrow or whatever I feel
will be helpful, depending on the condition.
Here is an excellent article by Susun Weed on using herbs simply and safely
