Nettle contains iron and it is amazingly beneficial for anemic people, mostly because it helps the creation of red blood cells. The consumption of nettle stimulates urination, reduces rheumatic pain and stimulates the secretion of milk in nursing mothers. Nettle is also largely used in cosmetics. Nettle root extract can be found in many hair loss products.
It contains flavonoids, sterols and other compounds with positive effect on the overall health. Nettle contains large amount of chlorophyll, minerals (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron), vitamin C and provitamin A.
Boil a bunch of young nettle leaves in one liter of water for 15 minutes. Filter the nettle tea and drink it during the whole day. Nutritionists recommend regular consumption of fresh nettle tea for a month.
Nettle is rarely included in the everyday menu, even though it is really delicious food. You can cook it like spinach or simply chop and add it to your favorite omelette. It can be prepared in many ways, same as any other vegetable. Even though nettle pie is a delicious dish, nettle soup is quite popular in Europe, the only dish where nettle is the main ingredient.
Scientists have not discovered any side effects caused by the application of products containing nettle. But still, you should be careful when using nettle or nettle extract, because large amounts of nettle can cause skin rash and obstipation. Nettle should not be used fresh because it can damage the kidneys. Given that nettle affects intense urine secretion, if you often include it in your diet, try consuming more foods rich in potassium.
