benefits of nettles

Some of you may recognise the name Urtica Urens as the homeopathic remedy, utilised in – guess what - cases of itching and stings.

Why eat nettles?

Nettles are one of the most powerful iron sources in the vegetable kingdom.
Great for anaemia, for during menstruation (to top up departing iron stocks) and as a general blood tonic. Whenever you feel run down, or tired, think nettles!

Eating nettles or drinking the tea can make your hair brighter, thicker and shinier; it may improve your skin - clearer and healthier, good for eczema and other skin conditions. Nettle tea is also a tonic for house or garden plants!
