Drive-by botany: Purple dead-nettle and Morrow’s honeysuckle

Hello everyone 💜 Today I'm making a tincture using the Purple Dead Nettle plant. Purple dead nettle is an intriguing plant that's been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. It's known for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, as well as its ability to help with conditions like arthritis, gout, and kidney issues. To start, you'll need: 1. Purple dead nettle (make sure it's not been sprayed with chemicals!) 2. High-proof alcohol (I use 151 proof or higher) 3. Glass jar or bottle wit
