| Description: Plant Description Nettle is a dioecious perennial, herbaceous plant that grows about 1 to 2 m (3 to 7 ft.) tall. The plant grows in moist sites along streams, coulees, and ditches, on mountain slopes, in woodland clearings, and in disturbed areas. It thrives in damp, nutrient-rich soils, but can colonize a wide range of other habitats. It has widely spreading rhizomes and stolons, which are bright yellow, as are the roots. Stem is simple or branched, erect or sprawling. Leaves Leaves are green colored and are 3 to 15 cm (1 to 6 in) long and are borne oppositely on an erect wiry green stem. The leaves have a strongly serrated margin, a cordate base and an acuminate tip with a terminal leaf tooth longer than adjacent laterals. The leaves and stems are very hairy with non-stinging hairs and in most subspecies also bear many stinging hairs whose tips come off when touched. Leaves are dark green on the top and are a paler green and downy on the underside. Flower & Fruit Flower is green to white in color, with drooping clusters of four petals per flower, and occur in the leaf axils as well as at the stem tips. Male and female flowers usually grow on separate plants of the Nettle, hence the species name dioica, meaning "separate," or "two houses." Flowering normally takes place from May to October. The fruit is small, flattened, lenticular achenes. The plant is used as a medicine, as a food source and as a source of fiber. Health Benefits: 1. Improves Prostate Health Prostate enlargement and cancer are both serious factors to consider as men age, but Nettle has proven to be an effective means of preventing prostate growth. However, due to the chemical pathways that this treatment takes, Nettle can only prevent the growth, not reverse it once the growth-factor and testosterone-stimulation has occurred. 2. Detoxifies the Body Stringing nettle consists of wide range of beneficial nutrients, which make it an ideal detoxifier for the body and it has been known to gently cleanse the body of toxins. Nettle can also ensure that those toxins being neutralized in the body are then removed quickly. Nettle is known as an alternative, meaning that it can improve the nutrient uptake efficiency of the gut and ensure that the digestive processes run smoothly, thus preventing the accumulation of dangerous toxins. It also encourages the lymphatic system, helping to rid the body of excess toxins in the kidneys as well. 3. Osteoporosis and Bone Health Boron, an important mineral element, can be found in Nettle. Boron has been scientifically connected to maintaining calcium content in our bones, which means that Nettle, can help slow the start of osteoporosis. When you combine that effect with the hormone-regulating impact that Nettle has, which helps to regulate and monitor bone health as well, it seems like this herb truly can do it all. 4. Improves Heart Health Nettle has the ability to positively affect the heart. Research has revealed that frequent consumption of Nettle tea can help lower systolic blood pressure and relieve tension and stress on the cardiovascular system. 5. Promotes Feminine Health Nettle has a number of active components that affect feminine health. For painful premenstrual symptoms, Nettle can calm cramping and bloating, while also minimizing blood flow during menstruation due to its astringent capabilities. For women suffering menopause, Nettle is also useful as it can smooth the transition and act as a restorative so the hormonal shift isn't as dramatic in the body. 6. Treats Respiratory Issues Nettle is used in a number of treatments of a variety of respiratory conditions, including hay fever, asthma, and other seasonal allergies. Research has shown that certain extract combinations from Nettle can considerably reduce allergic reactions in patients. Regular consumption of Nettle tea has been used to treat asthma in Australia for generations. 7. Kidney and Gallbladder Health Nettle has nephridic qualities, meaning that it can help to break down stones in the kidney and gallbladder, preventing those painful conditions from worsening or requiring those stones to be either passed or surgically removed. Also, as a diuretic, Nettle helps to eliminate toxins quickly, thus protecting against bladder infections and excess fluid retention (edema). 8. Aids in Pregnancy Nettle tea is often recommended for women who are undergoing excessively painful labor, and it can also help protect against excessive bleeding, as it can act as a coagulant. Furthermore, Nettle will help to encourage the production of milk and make lactation easier for the newborn. 9. Gastrointestinal Health Nettle extract supplements have been recommended for reducing nausea and diarrhea, and as with the menstruation and menopausal effects, Nettle can also calm ulcers and hemorrhoids. 10. Skin Care When the extracts are applied to the skin, Nettle has been proven to reduce the severity of acne and can even prevent bacterial infections of various types. Due to its antioxidant properties, it can also speed healing, reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes, and promote anti-aging to reduce wrinkles and age spots. 11. Improves Circulation Nettle consists of higher amount of vitamin C and iron content which makes it ideal for stimulating red blood cell production. Vitamin C enhances iron uptake in the gut, while iron is a crucial component of hemoglobin. By increasing the RBC count in the body, circulation increases, wound healing speeds up, and the body's extremities receive essential oxygenation to boost energy levels. For the same reason, Nettle is often recommended to relieve fatigue or anemia, which is characterized by general muscle weakness, exhaustion, cognitive difficulties, and headaches. 12. Anti-inflammatory Activity Nettle is a stimulant and rubefacient substance, making it very effective against various inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis or chronic muscle pain. Research has shown that Nettle tea or herbal supplementation can effectively treat gout, soothe muscle pain, and reduce symptoms of arthritis. |
