Nettle Leaf Herbal Tea / Pokrzywa

The chemical composition of nettle contains a number of trace elements (iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, etc.), several vitamins (especially vitamin C), tannin, and protein. Therefore, it is invaluable to the body.

Nettle tea has a diuretic effect, improves metabolism, and is recommended for liver and gallbladder disorders. It is also recommended for rheumatism and gout.

Nettle tea strengthens blood vessel walls, purifies the blood, normalizes the female cycle, and increases milk production during breastfeeding.

It is important to note that nettle tea is contraindicated for kidney and heart failure, as are many other herbs with diuretic effects. Nettle tea is also not recommended if you have thick blood, thrombophlebitis, or varicose veins.

Nettle can be perfectly combined with rosehip. You can take 2 tablespoons of nettle leaves and a handful of rose hips, pour boiling water over them (about 2 liters), and let it steep for 2-3 hours in a thermos. It will be a very tasty, and more importantly, a healthy, beneficial tea.

We wish you good health!
