Your weekly herbal drop is here, sis. 🌿 We're in Week 4 territory — Balance, Energy & Glow. If you've been DRAGGING — tired before the day even starts, hair shedding more than usual, skin looking dull — this one is for you. NETTLE (dried stinging nettle leaf) The quiet powerhouse. Don't let the name scare you — dried nettle doesn't sting, it nourishes. ☕ WHY IT WORKS: - Naturally rich in iron — and Black women are some of the most likely to walk around low and not even know it - - Loaded with calcium, magnesium & vitamin C (which helps your body actually absorb that iron) - - Supports steady energy, healthy hair, strong nails, and that glow that comes from the INSIDE GREAT FOR: - Low energy & that bone-tired feeling - - Hair shedding or thinning - - Dull skin - - Recovering after your cycle - - Any sis who runs on empty and calls it "normal" BREW RECIPE: 1 tbsp dried nettle leaf 2 cups hot water Steep 10–15 minutes, covered (the minerals live in the steam) Strain, then add lemon + a little honey Drink once daily — morning or early afternoon is best TIP: Nettle is a builder, not a quick fix. Give it 2–3 weeks of consistency — that quiet discipline, sis — and watch your energy come back online. This one's pulled straight from the 28-Day Herbal Tea Wellness Course. If you want all 28 days — daily teas, benefits, and full healing routines — drop "TEAS" in the comments and I'll send you the link. 🌿 & that's the tea. ☕
