Untitled. Για πολλούς είναι ένα ζιζάνιο, για αυτούς όμως που ξέρουν, είναι ένα από τα πιο θρεπτικά και θεραπευτικά φυτά που συναντάμε στην ελληνική ύπαιθρο. Η τσουκνίδα στην αρχαιότητα έχαιρε μεγάλης αναγνώρισης από τους γιατρούς της εποχής. Στην προσπάθεια τους να θεραπεύσουν τους ασθενείς τους, μελετούσαν τα βότανα και ανακάλυπταν τις ευεργερτικές τους ιδιότητες. Έτσι, ο Πλινιός, ο Διοσκουρίδης και ο Ιπποκράτης την ανακάλυψαν και τη χρησιμοποιούσαν για την αντιμετώπιση πολλών συμπτωμάτων και ασθενειών. Για φαρμακευτικούς λόγους χρησιμοποιούνται τα φύλλα, τα άνθη και οι ρίζες της. Τα φύλλα της περιέχουν μυρμηκικό οξύ, χλωροφύλλη, σεροτονίνη, ακετυλοχολίνη, γλυκοκινόνες, και τανίνες. Η απουσία οξαλικού οξέος, την κάνει κατάλληλη για άτομα που πάσχουν από αναιμία, γιατί χωρίς το οξαλικό απορροφάται μεγαλύτερη ποσότητα σιδήρου.
Έχει βρεθεί ότι έχει αντισπασμωδική δράση, σε περιπτώσεις ρευματισμών ή ισχιαλγίας. Ακόμη, η τσουκνίδα έχει διουρητική δράση και προάγει την καλή λειτουργία των νεφρών. Carvings from Poland.

The Willow Bark Slip Whistle is a nice easy little project requiring only a small knife and a piece of freshly cut willow.
The piece of willow should be about thumb width in diameter and about a hand span (150mm) in length (this will be plenty for the whistle and also give you a good length ‘working handle’ to carve with safely). For this example I’m using a piece of Grey Sallow as it is locally abundant in the area, but any willow will work just as well. It works best in the spring or early summer when the sap is rising in the trees. Safety first, note the comfortable sitting position with elbows resting on the knees, and a wooden chopping block for cutting onto. Elbows on knees helps to prevent a very serious injury such as cutting through your femoral artery, and having a wooden block to cut on will protect the edge of you knife. Step 1. Using small diagonal shaving cuts, cut the end of the stick into a whistle mouthpiece shape. Step 2. The completed D shape. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5.
