Nettle Energizes and Flushes the Body

Nettle (Urtica dioica), sometimes called Stinging Nettle, may be the most nutrient-dense plant in the world! This weed is much more than a painful stinging weed! It supports crucial bodily functions. Nettle leaf tea energizes and flushes the body. It restores depleted energy, maintains normal urinary elimination, reduces inflammation, lowers blood sugar, and strengthens the body’s musculoskeletal system. NutraTea herbalists have crafted eight uniquely healing tea blends with Nettle: NutraTrim, NutraCleanse, NutraUric, NutraRelease, NutraThyroid, NutraBone, NutraMother, and NutraPreg. 

Nettle contains:

• Vitamin A, C, K, B (2, 3, 6, 9)
• Iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium
• Fatty acids
• Amino acids 
• Terpenes
• Carotenes
• Polyphenols

Energizes

Nettle tea itself acts as a stimulant, providing an energizing effect without caffeine. Its wealth of iron supports natural energy levels by boosting red blood cell production. Its B vitamin content helps the body convert food into energy. NutraThyroid is a Nettle tea blend that supports normal energy and hormone levels and thyroid gland function. NutraMother tea contains Nettle for energy support, but the tea also supports lactation and the female genito-reproductive system. NutraPreg tea is formulated for people in the first and second trimester of pregnancy, people looking to maintain optimal health during pregnancy, and those who wish to help prepare for labour. NutraPreg supports the body’s vitality, digestion, immune system, mental wellbeing, and relaxation

Flushes the Urinary System

Nettle is traditionally valued for its ability to support urinary tract function. It may be effective in managing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that affects urination. By acting as an anti-inflammatory mild diuretic, nettle promotes urinary flow and helps flush toxins from the body, which may also reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. NutraRelease is a Nettle tea blend that helps manage the flow and balance of fluids in the urinary system. 

Lowers Inflammation

Nettle strengthens the body’s locomotor system and helps maintain flexible joints, muscles, and tendons. The plant is rich in bioactive compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acids, which lower inflammation throughout the body. This makes Nettle tea perfect for people suffering from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, because Nettle can reduce joint pain and stiffness. NutraBone is a sturdy Nettle tea blend that improves joint mobility, promotes overall bone health and the body’s natural flexibility, while reducing pain and swelling. NutraUric is an alleviating blend of Nettle and other natural diuretics that ease the swelling around joints, flush uric acid, and minimize inflammation and discomfort. Nettle enhances the renal elimination of water and contributes to normal urinary elimination functions. Legend has it, walking through a field of stinging Nettle or lightly beating oneself with a fresh Nettle branch can relieve inflammatory arthritis symptoms! 

Healthy Blood Sugar and Heart 

Compounds in Nettle lower blood glucose and improve insulin sensitivity, so it can help people manage type 2 diabetes. Its antioxidant content protects blood vessels from oxidative stress, which is a key contributor to heart disease. Overall, it supports waste excretion.  NutraTrim tea blend with Nettle supports weight management, stimulates the metabolic rate and removal of toxins, and helps control blood sugar levels and cravings. NutraCleanse is a purifying tea blend to help eliminate toxins that impair the digestive function, encourage bowel movement and the excretion of waste, while regulating healthy digestive enzymes within the gut. The Nettle in both these blends supports urinary elimination and the excretory function of the kidneys.

More About Nettle

Nettle tea is a long-time staple in traditional medicine across Europe, Asia, and North America. It’s a perennial flowering plant that thrives in temperate regions. It typically grows between three to seven feet tall and is easily identified by its jagged, heart-shaped leaves and fine, stinging hairs that cover the stems and foliage. These hairs contain histamine and formic acid, which can cause a mild burning or stinging sensation when touched. Despite this natural defense mechanism, once cooked or dried, the stinging properties are neutralized, making nettle safe and nutritious to eat or brew as tea.
