Stinging Nettle

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of the most nutritious herbs available, high in chlorophyll, Vitamins A and C, potassium, protein, iron, calcium and fiber.

Taken daily over a long period, nettles is a tonic that will benefit the whole body, but especially the lungs, stomach and urinary tract.

The high concentration of minerals in nettles makes it an ideal treatment for anemia.

Applied to the scalp, nettles helps to stimulate hair growth.

A fantastic treatment for seasonal allergies, asthma, urinary disorders, diarrhea, cystitis, and arthritis.

Even the stings of the fresh nettle plant prove to be medicinal! Allowing affected areas of arthritis to be stung with fresh nettles relieves arthritic pain.

Nettles may be harvested fresh (wearing gloves is recommended!) and steamed or added to soups and sauces for a nutritional boost.

Dried nettle leaves make an excellent tea.

Adding powdered, dried nettle leaf to your favorite recipes is a wonderful way to get the benefits and nutrition of nettle into your daily life. Let thy food be thy medicine!
