Nutritious Nettle

Dr. Michele Burklund February 13, 2013

I think the question is what doesn't nettle do?

This plant that is even considered a weed here in the Northwest…

contains prostaglandins (decreases inflammation), protein (when dried it contains 40%), calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, beta-carotene, vitamins A,C,D, and B complex.

Nettles are useful in:

  • Blood building

  • Breaks up mucus congestion

  • Skin irritations

  • Water retention

  • Diarrhea

  • Allergies

  • Helps nursing mother's produce milk

Nettle (in the dried form) can be made into a  tea or added to a soup!
