Sold by weight. Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica), organic, cut and sifted (leaf only, not stem), Bulgaria, a/k/a Stinging Nettle. The analysis of the fresh Nettle shows the presence of formic acid, mucilage, mineral salts, ammonia, carbonic acid and water. It is the formic acid in the Nettle, with the phosphates and a trace of iron, which make it such a valuable food medicinally. Nettle has a reputation in herbal medicine and is regarded in homoeopathy as a useful remedy. Preparations of the herb have astringent properties and act also as a stimulating tonic.
Nettle oil can be used externally for skin problems and rheumatic/arthritic aches. Actions: Astringent, diuretic, tonic, nutririve, hemostatic, circulatory stimulant, stimulates milk production, hypoglycemic.
Warm nettle tea doesn't taste like a normal tea...not bitter, spicy, minty or lemony. Its more like a strong stock of a rich, deep, green plant essence and it's one of the most nourishing drinks of all. Whenever you feel run down, tired, or even irritable, make some. Many of the benefits are due to the plant's very high levels of minerals, especially, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, silica, iodine, silicon, sodium, and sulfur. Nettle also provides chlorophyll and tannin which are a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, and B complex vitamins.
Nettles also have high levels of easily absorbable amino acids. They're ten percent protein, more than any other vegetable. Nettle is anti-asthmatic: the juice of the roots or leaves, mixed with honey or sugar, will relieve bronchial and asthmatic troubles and the dried leaves, burnt and inhaled, will have the same effect. As an expectorant, it's recommended for asthma, mucus conditions of the lungs, and chronic coughs.
Nettle tea compress or finely powdered dried nettles are also good for wounds, cuts, stings, and burns. The infusion has been used internally to stop excessive menstruation, bleeding from hemorrhages, bloody coughs, nose bleeds, and bloody urine. It is known to help blood clot, but major bleeding is dangerous, indicative of a serious underlying condition. Use for minor cuts.
Please consult a medical professional if you're unsure of how to use this herb. Certain herbs should not be used by young children, pregnant/breastfeeding women or the elderly without first consulting a medical professional.
