Crisis & Mora
Hey, I heard you’re working on that new nettle tincture—can I see what you’ve got? I just want to check for any hidden risks before we try it.
Sure, I’ll pull up the notes from my herb journal. The nettle tincture is a thin, green liquid that I’ve steeped nettle leaves with a touch of honey and a few drops of lavender oil to soothe the sting. I used a 15‑minute infusion and filtered it through a cheesecloth. I tested a small dose on my own hand yesterday; the skin tingled for about a minute and then cleared, so no lasting irritation. I’ve marked the batch number, the date, and the exact ratio of nettle to honey—just to keep everything clear. Let me know if there’s anything else you want to double‑check.
Looks solid—green tint, honey balance, a splash of lavender to calm the sting. The 15‑minute infusion is fine, and your test on the hand shows no lingering irritation. Make sure the lavender oil is food‑grade and keep a small batch for a second trial on a larger area just to be sure. Label everything clearly, store it cool, and you’re good to go. If anything changes in the scent or color, flag it right away.
Thank you! I’ll do a second trial on a larger patch tomorrow and keep the lavender oil food‑grade. I’ll label each vial with batch number, date, and the ratio on the side, and store them in a cool, dark place. If the scent turns sharp or the tint shifts, I’ll note it in my journal right away. I’ll keep you posted on the results.
Sounds like a solid plan. Keep an eye on the scent and color, and you’ll catch any changes early. Let me know how the second test goes. Good luck.
Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on it and update you right away. Good luck to us both!
You’re welcome—stay sharp, keep the logs tight, and we’ll get this working perfectly. Good luck!
Thank you! I’ll be careful and write everything down. I’ll let you know as soon as the second test is finished. Good luck to you too!
