Nettle Leaf (Organic, Cut and Sifted)

Stinging nettle is a plant, and the root and above ground parts are used as medicine. Stinging nettle leaf has a long history of use. It was used primarily as a diuretic and laxative in ancient Greek times. Today, most of the scientific research on stinging nettle has led to its use for diabetes and osteoarthritis. It is sometimes used for urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), muscle pain, and other conditions, but as with many complementary and alternative medicines, to ensure appropriateness for you, please consult your physician before use. In foods, young stinging nettle leaves are eaten as a cooked vegetable. In manufacturing, stinging nettle extract is used as an ingredient in hair and skin products. Please consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications. Keep out of reach of children.
