Common Questions

What are the health benefits of nettle, stinging nettle?

Nettle, or stinging nettle, is a nutrient-dense herb that is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium, iron, and magnesium. It is known for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and has historically been used to support urinary health, alleviate allergy symptoms, and promote joint health. Additionally, some research suggests that nettle may help in managing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men.

What are the health risks associated with stinging nettle?

Stinging nettle may cause skin irritation and rash upon contact with its hairs, which contain irritating substances. Consuming raw stinging nettle leaves may also cause a stinging or burning sensation in the mouth and throat. However, cooking or drying the leaves neutralizes the stinging effect, making them safe to eat.
