Nettle in ALCOHOL is stronger than any medicine, my grandfather used to say: remember this recipe for life!

For joint pain and swelling
Massage the mixture into aching joints before going to bed – it is especially good for aching wrists and knees.

It is also effective in the treatment of varicose veins: it should be applied with a cotton swab to the affected areas.

This is an effective home remedy that I highly recommend.
