    NETTLE LEAF EXTRACT

    This product is not available at the moment

    Urtica dioica is an herbaceous perennial in the Urticaceae family. The plant is known as “stinging nettle” because of its hollow hairs (tricomes) on the leaves and stem that cause a stinging sensation upon contact. Our organic nettle leaf is harvested from large, deep-rooted stands in Europe and infuses into a tea that is dark and rich in flavor.

    It was used extensively for its fibers and was woven into cloth. Nettle fibers were considered to be high quality and comparable to flax or hemp in Northern Europe. Nettle supports healthy urinary function and has mild diuretic action and helps to maintain upper respiratory health.

    *The US FDA has not evaluated these ingredient claims. The nutraceutical ingredient is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
