1 oz - Organic Nettle Leaf

Nettle, also known as stinging nettle, is a perennial herb native to Europe, Africa and North America. As the common name implies, the plant is armed with hair-like stingers that inject histamine and other inflammatory chemicals when brushed against.

Nettle leaf has a long history of use as a food crop (the stingers fall off in hot water) and today we know that the herb is highly nutritious.Dried nettle herb is commonly used in herbal tea blends, although it is also frequently encapsulated or tinctured.

• Allergies: Some individuals may be allergic to nettle. If you experience any allergic reactions (such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing), discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

• Kidney disease: While nettle is beneficial for urinary health, individuals with kidney disease or those who are on diuretics should consult a healthcare provider before using nettle, as it may increase urination and put strain on the kidneys.

• Blood thinners: Nettle may have mild anticoagulant (blood-thinning) effects, so if you are taking medications like warfarin or have a bleeding disorder, consult with a healthcare provider before using nettle.
