Nettle (Stinging Nettle) (Urtica Dioica)
Deeply Nourishing Mineral Tonic for Whole-Body Vitality
Nettle is one of the most nutrient-dense herbs in Western herbalism, treasured for centuries across European, Indigenous, and traditional folk medicine. Often called a plant multivitamin, nettle is valued for its ability to rebuild, strengthen, and restore the body gently over time.
What Nettle Is Known For
Nettle leaves are exceptionally rich in minerals and vitamins, including iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, silica, vitamin C, and chlorophyll. Once dried or cooked, the sting is neutralized, revealing a mild, green, nourishing herb ideal for daily use.
Rather than stimulating, nettle feeds the body at a cellular level, making it a cornerstone tonic herb.
