If using fresh nettle, carefully harvest the leaves (wear gloves to avoid stings) and wash them thoroughly. If using dried nettle, ensure it’s free from contaminants and ready for use.
Infuse the Oil:
Place the nettle leaves in a glass jar and pour your chosen carrier oil over them, ensuring the leaves are fully submerged. Close the jar tightly and store it in a warm, sunny spot for 2-3 weeks, shaking the jar every few days to ensure even infusion.
Strain the Oil:
After 2-3 weeks, strain the oil through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the leaves, leaving you with infused nettle oil.
Use the Oil:
Massage the infused nettle oil directly onto areas affected by bone or joint pain. The oil's anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate discomfort and promote healing.
