NETTLE TEA 80 g

Nettle tea is a herbal drink made from the leaves and stems of nettle, a plant from the Urticaceae family that is known for its medicinal properties. Nettle (lat. Urtica dioica) is a widespread plant found in different parts of the world.

Nettle is known for its wealth of nutrients , including vitamins (A, C, K, B-complex), minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium), antioxidants and other useful compounds. Its leaves and stems are covered with tiny hairs that can cause burning and irritation on the skin when touched, but when the nettle is dried or cooked, these hairs lose their irritation.

Making nettle tea usually involves steeping fresh or dried nettle leaves and stems in hot water and letting them steep for a while. After that, the tea is strained and can be consumed warm or cold as desired.

Nettle tea is often used in traditional and folk medicine for the many potential health benefits it can provide.

Some of the possible beneficial effects include:

1. Detoxification and cleansing of the body: Nettle is considered a diuretic and can stimulate the excretion of excess fluid and toxins from the body.

2. Maintaining skin health: Nettle tea can provide relief from minor skin problems, such as rashes, eczema and acne.

3. Stimulating digestion: Stinging nettle is associated with stimulating digestion and relieving symptoms such as bloating and constipation.

4. Reduction of inflammatory processes: Antioxidants present in nettle can help reduce inflammation in the body.

5. Maintain heart health: Stinging nettle can help maintain heart health and lower cholesterol levels.

It is important to note that scientific research on the beneficial effects of nettle tea is still limited and that nettle tea should not be used as a substitute for treatment. If you have a medical condition or are taking medication, always consult a qualified healthcare professional before using nettle tea or any other herbal preparation.
