Purple dead nettle salve, $10. Another “weed” promptly forgotten, and one in the mint family. Like the dandelion, this plant is completely edible and the benefits of these little bundles are many. Found to have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties and even mild pain relief. Centuries passed, this plant has been used for allergy relief, as cough syrup and in poultices for minor cuts and injuries.This salve is a staple in any herbal or non herbal first aid kit. It makes it a strong candidate for relief of body aches, pains, bumps, and bruises.
