Product Details

Urtica dioica is a popular plant for foragers during springtime as a nourishing, healthy vegetable that’s easy to digest. Historically, folks living in the European countryside have been known to make a wholesome beer with nettles and dandelion. The root contains a high number of sterols and has traditionally been used in western herbal practices as part of a comprehensive male care tonic. Our organic nettle root powder can be encapsulated, tinctured, or incorporated into culinary recipes.

Nettle has been used worldwide for centuries in a variety of countries and cultures. It has been eaten as a wild food plant, applied topically to the skin, and drunk as an herbal tea. It was used extensively for its fibers and was woven into cloth. Nettle fibers were considered to be high quality and comparable to flax or hemp in Northern Europe.

Nettle supports healthy urinary function and has mild diuretic action and helps to maintain upper respiratory health.*

Nettle is a dioecious, herbaceous, perennial plant. The soft, green leaves are borne oppositely on an erect, wiry, green stem and have a strongly serrated margin. The leaves and stems are very hairy with nonstinging hairs, and, in most subspecies, also bear many stinging hairs (trichomes), whose tips come off when touched, causing paresthesia. Urtica dioica belongs to the Urticaceae family.
