Nettle (Urtica dioica) Cut Herb, Powder & Capsules
Nettle Herb comes from Urtica dioica, a familiar plant found throughout Europe, Asia, North America and many other temperate regions. Also known as Stinging Nettle, this hardy herb has a long history of traditional use in European herbalism.
Nettle gets its name from the tiny stinging hairs found on the fresh leaves and stems. These hairs can cause a temporary stinging sensation when touched. Once dried, however, the herb no longer has this characteristic sting and can be used in teas and other herbal preparations.
For centuries, people have valued Nettle as a traditional botanical. Herbalists have used the leaves and aerial parts in a variety of preparations, including herbal teas and blends. Nettle has also been used traditionally as a nutritious wild food in many parts of Europe.
Nettle Cut Herb, Powder & Capsules
Our pure Nettle is available as cut herb, fine powder and vegetarian capsules. The cut herb is well suited to making herbal tea or creating your own herbal blends. Alternatively, the powder provides a finer form that can be mixed into suitable drinks, foods or herbal preparations.
The powder contains the naturally occurring plant compounds found in the whole dried herb. Unlike a concentrated extract, it is not standardized to a specific percentage of an individual compound.
For those who prefer a ready-to-use format, Nettle capsules provide another simple option without the need to prepare the loose herb or powder. All three forms provide Nettle in its natural dried-herb form.
Today, Nettle remains a popular traditional botanical among people interested in herbs, herbal teas and natural plant products. Its long history, distinctive character and versatility have made it a familiar herb in traditional European herbalism.
