INFORMATION: Thought of as a nutritional powerhouse, the common nettle (Latin: Urticae Dioica) has been valued by natural health practitioners for thousands of years. In fact, according to historical record, therapeutic use of nettle dates to at least the Bronze Age (3000 BCE - 1200 BCE). Referred to by nutritionists as a "superfood", this perennial flowering plant has one of the highest chlorophyll counts of all plants and is said to be a source of antioxidants, essential Vitamins, and body-strengthening minerals. It also makes a refreshing, delicately astringent tisane, believed to energize and detoxify the body.
According to followers of Traditional Chinese Medicine, nettle supports the Yin, meaning it can be used to cool the body and strengthen the immune system, kidneys, and liver. Chinese medicine also maintains that a simple infusion of nettle root may stimulate circulation, lower blood pressure, and regulate blood sugar levels. Thanks to its reported anti-inflammatory properties, likely due to the presence of Vitamin K and coumarin (a natural blood thinner), nettle may also be good for heart health. This herbal infusion is thought to ease digestive difficulties, making it an excellent post-dinner alternative to coffee.
