Nettle with Rhubarb & Apricot Elixir: The Greening. Nourishing Seasonal Support and Conflict Resolution.

Introducing the elixir for Ostara: Nettle! Now with Rhubarb and Apricot!

I’ve been a long time lover of Nettle. I started drinking it nearly fifteen years ago at the end of my pregnancies to build up my iron and calcium, milk supply, and to aid in the kidney function of me and the little ones. That’s when I fell in love with its nutritious, nourishing nature. In fact, I still drink it every morning in my daily tea blend.

As with any change in the seasons, there is always a new issue at hand. In the winter, we deal with dry skin and in the spring we deal with allergies. Besides being the epitome of The Greening, another wonderful correlation Nettle has with Ostara is its ability to help with upper respiratory health, especially during allergy season when pollen is invading our air.

Magically, Nettle is used for protection and to drive out negative energy. The essence has been used to open communication after a conflict.

The pairing that Nettle got this turn is Apricot and Rhubarb. Both fruits are associated with the spring. Rhubarb is an early grower and adds a great tang to the elixir, just around the edges. It brings the spring energy of fertility and creativity, as well as protection, like the Nettle.

I also added some Apricot for ancestral magick. I made this Nettle Elixir for my Popaw in bulk. One of his medications gave him this crazy itching and the elixir helped. It kept coming back to me to add Apricot, because me and Monie shared an obsessive love of them. And it feels right. They belong together just like my Monie and Popaw.

Apricots offer a heartwarming, peaceful energy that draws us closer to those we love. Isn’t that amazing?

The Nettle in this elixir was wild-harvested and homegrown by yours truly, stinging tingles and all.
