Dried Nettle Leaves, Powder or Root Powder 120g.

Stinging nettle leaf is a gentle diuretic, helping the body to process and flush away toxins. It flushes the kidneys and bladder to prevent and soothe urinary tract infections. The tea is ideal for sodium induced water retention and high blood pressure. Its diuretic effect decreases bloated “water weight” and other edema, streamlining and slimming the body. An added plus, nettle tea (alone, without other herbs) is considered safe in pregnancy and helps with aching legs and swollen ankles.

The herb’s diuretic action also flushes excess uric acid from muscles and joints, helping to relieve arthritic pain and inflammations. Also in its role as an anti-inflammatory, nettle tea is effective in treating the symptoms of itchy, watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing common in allergy season.

Because of its nourishing, diuretic, and anti-inflammatory properties, nettle tea is a natural beautifier to skin and hair. Nettle tea has been shown to clear acne and eczema as well as encourage thicker, shinier hair and new hair growth.

For acne prone or dull, congested skin, I would suggest drinking three to four cups of nettle tea a day for two weeks. After two weeks, take a week off drinking it and see how your skin looks and feels before resuming.

Like many other herbs, various parts of the plant, including the leaves, stems, and roots possess medicinal properties. And in herbal medicine, knowing how each part of a plant differs from the other is important for proper treatment. Although both highly medicinal, their properties differ, here’s how…

• The root of the nettle plant has been considered a tonic to the kidneys and bladder by herbalists through the ages, used to treat various urinary problems. Today, it is recognized for its powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-diabetic qualities, as well as a primary herbal remedy for benign prostatic hyperplasia. In fact, in Germany, nettle root is used in clinical practice for this condition. Most of the nettle roots health benefits trace back to its anti-aromatase mechanisms. Aromatase activity is the enzymatic conversion of androgens into estrogens. By inhibiting the aromatase enzymes, nettle root not only effectively suppresses prostate-cell metabolism and growth but may also health with breast cancer and other estrogen-related diseases such as hair loss and PCOS.
• Looking now at the more herbaceous parts of the nettle plant; these have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that make them useful for painful conditions such as arthritis and sore muscles. Also, the nettle leaf and stem have anti-histamine properties, which may help with allergies and allergy-related problems. In fact, nettle (Urtica dioica) extract shows in vitro inhibition of several key inflammatory pathways that cause the symptoms of seasonal allergies, and may possibly reduce the body’s production of histamine.

Got it???

If you are interested in utilizing either nettle root or stinging nettle you’ll want to make sure to get a proper dose and extraction.
For the dried leaf, this is usually taken either fresh or dried and turned into a tea, with the ideal dose at 2 to 4 gm, three times a day.
For the root, this is best taken in extracted form, be it alcohol extraction or hot water, powder extraction like this. A dose of 500mg three times daily will help you achieve its effects.

Although considered safe, always Thoroughly research any herb before using it. If taking prescribed drugs, consult with your doctor before using. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid if pregnant or nursing. Those with low blood sugar or low blood pressure should use caution as Nettle can lower both.

Drinking the tea for two weeks will also give you shiny, thicker-looking hair. To heighten the effect, you can rinse your hair with the tea as well. Research has shown that stinging nettle may also be effective in reducing scalp conditions, dandruff, and male pattern baldness.

The leaves can be used to make tea, beer, wine and soup; they can also be added to cheese and are the traditional ‘wrapping’ for Cornish Yarg cheese. The plant can also be used to make paper, and a natural insecticide can be obtained from the leaves as well as an organic plant fertiliser. Green dye can be obtained from the leaf. An extract from the plant is used in the cosmetic industry to make shampoos for dandruff prone hair and for strengthening hair.

To make tea use one tablespoon of dry leaf to one cup of steaming water and steep for at least twenty minutes. The tea can be sweetened as you wish. I use honey and a slice of lemon. Why not make in bulk, steep at least an hour and drink it as a refreshing iced tea. You will find you begin to crave this tea as your body craves the nutrients it brings.
