Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a perennial herb in the Urticaceae family, recognized for its nourishing properties and vibrant green foliage. Known as "stinging nettle" due to the fine hairs on its leaves and stems that can cause a temporary stinging sensation upon contact, nettle is native to Europe but thrives in moist soils worldwide. Harvested in the spring before flowering, its deep-rooted nature and nutrient-dense leaves have made it a staple in herbal traditions across cultures.
Nettle is often steeped as tea, producing a dark amber brew with a rich, earthy taste. It has long been appreciated for its supportive role in maintaining overall vitality. Traditionally, nettle has been used to promote healthy urinary function and to gently sustain respiratory well-being during seasonal changes. Its deep green energy and mineral-rich nature also make it a beloved herb for replenishing and fortifying the body.
Precaution: No known precautions exist, but it is always advisable to consult a healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, especially if pregnant, nursing, or on medication.
