Nettles

A popular spring tonic, Nettles contain large amounts of nutrients, especially iron, calcium, silicon and potassium, and are opening and cleansing to the body, stimulating all types of elimination.

Nettles are also reputed to be alkalinizing to the blood, and to both remove uric acid and prevent its crystallization in the kidneys and joints, possibly helping with arthritis.

Nettle has also shown some activity against allergies, and studies indicate that Nettle root has synergistic activity with Pygeum for the treatment of prostate disorders.
