    Nettles and "praiseach" spread very quickly and destroy the land in which they grow. Chicken weed makes the soil very poor. Nettles, when boiled with other food, are good for fowl, especially turkeys. Nettle water, as a tonic, is good for the blood. The slimy substance on the root of the dockleaf is good for easing and buring a nettle sting. A green nettle leaf, placed on the tongue, and pressed against the roof of the mouth, will stop a bleeding nose.
