- Introduction:
- Nettles are weed-like plants that are found in most places, especially in ditches and
moist areas. Sometimes, Nettles are referred to as "stinging Nettles" because of
their irritating sting it leaves behind when brushed. The herbal medicine is made from the
leaves of the plant, and processed so that the stinging caused by the leaves is
deactivated.
- Micronutrient Tonic:
- Nettle leaves are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins, and this makes it
a popular supplement to diets for people who are weak and exhausted, and/or anemic, and
help it to earn its nickname of being an overall "body tonic". Also, with its
very high iron and Vitamin K content, it is often prescribed for women who are menstruate
heavily, in order to decrease hemorrhaging and replace lost iron.
- Urinary Cleansing:
- Nettles also are well-known for their beneficial effects on the urinary tract. They
induce a mild-diuretic effect, and are used to treat inflammatory conditions in the
urinary tract.
- Research has also indicated promising results for people who suffer from hayfever
allergies, in that Nettles has shown to reduce the symptoms caused by hayfever.
- Suggested Dosage:
- In 250mg capsules, standardized to 1-2%. 2-3 capsules daily.
- Safety:
- On occasion, mild digestive disturbances have been reported, and on extreme rare
occassions, allergic reactions have been a reported side effect. If any of these reactions
occur, discontinue use immediately. Nettles has shown no toxicity at suggested doses.
