Nettle (Urtica dioicia)

Nettle — Urtica dioica

A familiar plant of British hedgerows, nettle has been valued for generations as a nourishing spring green and a staple of the traditional European apothecary. Once dried, its characteristic sting is lost, leaving an earthy, green botanical with a rich place in household herbal history.

Traditionally enjoyed in herbal infusions and seasonal botanical preparations, nettle leaves contain naturally occurring minerals and plant compounds.

Ways to use: Herbal tea infusions, botanical blends, culinary preparations where appropriate, and traditional herbal hair rinses.
