Stinging Nettle Seed Tea Naturally Grown
Nettle leaves have long
been used for making tea, however it is felt that the seeds of Stinging Nettles
are the most nutritious part of the plant. They are considered to be a natural
source of vitamins, specifically vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, minerals,
especially iron, silicon, calcium, selenium, potassium, and magnesium as well
as essential fatty acids. Nettle seed is often used to support overall
vitality, promote healthy hair and nails, and enhance energy levels. They can
even be sprinkled into your food as an excellent way of bringing nutrition into
your diet. Nettle seeds, as well as the roots, are stronger in their action
than just the leaves, and have been used for helping the adrenal glands and
treating the prostate gland. According to the National Institution of Health (.gov)
“Stinging Nettles have several health benefits. The nettle has antioxidant,
antibacterial, and pro-health effects in all of its parts. The bioactivities of
these functional components may be important in the prevention of arthritis, and rheumatism.”
It goes without saying that if you're pregnant (or are under the doc for anything) caution should be exercised with herbal decoctions.
