Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica) Description
Nettle leaf, derived from the stinging nettle plant (Urtica dioica), is a nutrient-rich herb widely used in herbal medicine. It is packed with vitamins (A, C, K, and B-complex), minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium), and powerful antioxidants.
Traditionally, nettle leaf has been used to support overall wellness, particularly for:
- Blood Health & Circulation – Rich in iron and chlorophyll, it helps support healthy blood flow and may aid in treating anemia.
- Joint & Muscle Health – Contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can relieve arthritis, muscle pain, and stiffness.
- Allergy Relief – Acts as a natural antihistamine, helping to ease seasonal allergies and hay fever.
- Urinary & Kidney Health – Supports detoxification by promoting kidney and urinary tract function.
- Hair & Skin Health – Encourages hair growth, reduces dandruff, and nourishes the skin with essential nutrients.
Nettle leaf can be consumed as a tea, tincture, or supplement and is also used in skincare and haircare formulations. Despite its stinging nature in raw form, drying or cooking neutralizes the sting, making it a versatile and beneficial herb for health and wellness.
