August 02: Hello friends. ❤️
I want to start out by saying how much we appreciate each and every one of you, you dedication, your words, your passion, and everything you've put into the community here. Unfortunately, the bell has tolled for our dear Canis. There are many factors and reasons that have gone into this decision, and I apologize if it feels sudden. The site will remain up for as long as necessary for players to retreive their information and posts.
If you have questions, you are more than welcome to reach out to me via DM.
Thank you for everything. ❤️

Stinging Nettle
Medicinal ToxicFound during: Spring, Summer, Autumn
Looks similar to Peppermint when very young, but grows tall and spindly with reaching leaves and stalks hanging from it with tiny white flowers. Very high in nutrition, can be dried for winter use. The juice of the nettle can be used to help alleviate stings, and an infusion can help with burns. Externally, it can be applied to bruises. The plant is used to treat skin complaints. The plant MUST be blanched (in hot waters) or completely dried to use. Otherwise, the stinging sensation can be very unpleasant. Eating the plant without drying or blanching could cause an allergic reaction similar to anaphylactic shock.
