Monterey Club Nettle Root Cut & Sifted Tea Organic 1lbs 454G

Nettle is a perennial plant that can be found throughout the woodlands of Europe and North America. While most people are familiar with the nutrient-dense leaves, the healing properties of the root cannot be overlooked. Nettle root is considered an excellent tonic for the kidneys, bladder and prostate. It is most commonly used in teas, extracts, hair rinses and supplements.

One of the main uses of nettle leaf dried is as a natural anti-inflammatory. It contains compounds that can help to reduce inflammation in the body, which may be useful for people with conditions such as arthritis or allergies.

Nettle leaf is also a natural diuretic, which means it can help to increase urine output and promote detoxification. This may be helpful for people with urinary tract infections or kidney stones.

In addition to its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, nettle leaf is also a rich source of vitamins and minerals. It is particularly high in vitamin C, vitamin K, and iron, and is also a good source of calcium and magnesium.

Nettle leaf can be consumed as a tea or taken in supplement form. It can also be used topically as a treatment for skin conditions such as ecezma
