DISCLAIMER: PLEASE DO NOT JUST USE ONE RESOURCE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE INGESTING SOMETHING!!! Henbit and dead nettle are both in the mint family. They often grow together and are easily confused. Henbit has shorter leaves while dead nettle has longer leaves. They're both invasive species and can be eaten raw or cooked. Both Henbit and dead nettle are rich in iron, vitamins A, C, and K, and they are rich in fiber. They both boost energy and are good for digestive support. Be careful when harvesting them because they can easily be confused with poisonous species that look like them. One of the species is foxglove; it looks like henbit and/or dead nettle when they are first sprouting. Make sure you are picking the right, non-poisonous, plant.
Dead nettle is used for women's menstrual issues; pain, heavy flow, and discharge between cycles (this is why you shouldn't take it when you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant). Dead nettle is also used as a laxative. Henbit can be used as a mild diuretic (help release salt and water from your body through your urine). Henbit can also be used as a fever reducer and bloat-buster.
