    Nettle

    Nettle has been used traditionally by the Ancient Greeks for its healing powers, especially removing venom from snakebites. Nettle is considered a nutritional food, containing iron and other minerals, together with Vitamin C and beta-carotene. Nettle leaves are believed to be cleansing, detoxifying and act as a diuretic. Women who become bloated just prior to their period, may find using nettle leaves beneficial.



    Nettle leaves also contain natural anti-histamins chemicals, which may make them useful during the spring season. Nettle root is most often used by men during the later years, as it may help to maintain a healthy urinary system. Use 250mg of nettle leaf powder, three times daily, for allergies and water retention. Take 500mg of nettle root powder for urinary problems.
