The Wisdom of Nettle 🌿

It is said that a young student once went to his old herbal master and complained:
“All plants are friendly to me – only the nettle stings and burns. Why is it so hostile?”

The master smiled and led him to a large, strong nettle by the roadside.
“Brush quickly over it with a hasty swipe,” he said.

The student did so – and of course, his fingers burned immediately.

Then the master said:
“Now try again. But this time slowly, consciously, and with a steady hand.”

The boy gently placed his hand on the leaf, stroked it without haste – and nothing happened. No burning, no pain.

The master explained:
“The nettle teaches us: Those who go through life hastily, carelessly, and impatiently get hurt. But those who act mindfully, gently, and consciously unlock even the fiercest healing power.”

The student looked at the plant and noticed for the first time its strength, its scent, its vitality.

The master concluded:
“Many people avoid the nettle because they only look at it from a distance. But those who dare to truly engage with it recognize one of the most powerful healing plants there is.”
