The first thing to about about nettle tea is it is packed full of nutrients. Some of those include minerals, vitamins and even protein.

In fact nettle leaf powders contain on average about 30% in protein content.

When you make an infusion of nettle which we will get into later in this post you are getting deep nutrition to your body.

In a strong infusion you will be nourishing yourself with B Vitamins to combat stress, trace minerals like boron for bone building, selenium for autoimmune issue, zinc & vitamin C for your immune system and hair growth.

In the roots you can find copper, zinc, calcium, manganese and magnesium.
These trace minerals play an important role in your bodies hormone system, muscle contractions and metabolism.

Then you’ve got vitamins A and K to help with strong vision and heart disease prevention respectively.

Although nettle is great year round it has traditionally been used where vegetables were scarce. Nettle is so rich in nutrients it can really help us in the winter months when our diet may be lacking in fresh veggies.

One of my most favorite nettle tea benefits is how chlorophyll rich it is. You can learn more about the benefits of chlorophyll in my post here. 
With this kind of nourishment you are sure to awaken your own super power, vitality and resilience.

Nettle for Hair Health: 
What’s more is that nettle has iron and silica. These nutrients help build strong hair as well as contribute to lengthening the growth cycle of your hair.

We also mentioned B vitamins in nettle tea. One of those is Biotin.

Biotin is key in making keratin which is how the hair keeps strong and intact.

Because nettle is anti-inflammatory and loaded with antioxidants it can help protect the scalp from fungus, and hair loss.

We can also see from studies like this one here that DHT can be blocked with the use of nettle. What happens is the enzymes in nettle help modulate the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

It seems that when this happens it increases the prostates cell growth.

Nettle tinctures and nettle root teas can help reduce the cell growth and help to normalize urine flow and prostate inflammation.

Nettle tea for men can be a great natural remedy for this type of ailment.

While nettle tea has been deemed as generally safe it is best to talk to your health care practitioner first.

Because nettles are loaded with nutrition, nettle tea infusions can be very helpful in increasing fertility and/or to get nourishment to yourself and your baby.

It  can be an aid after birth in ensuring you do not become anemic or get postpartum anemia.

The vitamin K mentioned earlier helps to slow down the loss of blood after giving birth.

The other thing is it can really help you create more milk for breastfeeding since it is so rich in B Vitamins and other nutrients.

The benefits of nettle tea for women are plentiful, so drink up ladies.

It seems to really lessen the cytokine storm that happens in those with rheumatoid, osteoarthritis etc.

Both topical treatments like a salve or cream and internal nettle tea infusions are effective.

It is a wonderful natural supplement to keep in your medicine cabinet.

You can think of your adrenals as your internal energy center and nettle helps to build that vital life force within you.

Check out the recipe below for a deeply nourishing adrenal tea to combat fatigue.

The enzyme reactions and how it effects receptors in the body allows for lessening of things like hay fever.

It may seem counterintuitive because nettles contain histamine. But histamine has been used to treat allergy issues. 

This is due to the anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory properties.

A woman reported a skin rash on her nipple.

By using a compress she had made with nettle leaf she was able to alleviate the rash and continue breast feeding within a couple of days.

Creating a compress over eczema or rashes may be helpful in this case.

Nettle has been known to strengthen the kidneys.

It also seems to lessen fibrosis which is scarring basically.

This is very important for organs like the kidneys that are susceptible to fibrosis and can easily be damaged.

Taking nettles helped those undergoing kidney transplants as well.
