You Know You Need Nettle
Urtica dioica, or stinging nettle, as it’s more commonly known, is a super well-known plant that’s got quite a reputation for being highly medicinal and used by many cultures for centuries around the world. In the midst of allergy season, the daily wellness craze, and a pandemic that probably won’t be leaving us anytime soon, nettle is a reliable addition to teas, tinctures, and topical applications…and for good reason. But why? What the deal with nettle and why do you need it in your life?
Here’s what you need to know about nettle.
Upon contact with nettle leaves growing naturally, some people experience a burning or itching sensation due to their hair-like coverings, hence the name stinging nettle. Be careful!
Both nettle’s roots and leaves are well-known to be nutrient dense and supportive of whole-body health. Its flavor is light, grassy, and distinctively earthy.
Nettle leaf is known to support healthy circulatory systems and has positive effects on blood pressure and blood sugar.
Nettle leaf contains vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, and several B vitamins. Like many other herbal ingredients, it also contains magnesium, potassium, and trace amounts of iron. These nutrients can act as antioxidants in your body.
Rhinitis can cause swollen nasal passages and allergy symptoms, and nettle is known to help ease these symptoms and act as a natural antihistamine.
Nettle can help reduce inflammation.
