Adults: Bring tea kettle to boil. Steep 1-2 tsp in 8 ounces of water for 11 minutes about 3-4x daily. If preferred, use sweetener of choice, we love maple syrup in our tea or try one of our infused herbal syrups. If you use honey DO NOT add honey until tea temperature is 98.4 degrees or below. This ensures beneficial enzymes are intact.

stinging nettle
Nettle is thought of as a tonic for its high vitamin and mineral content. Nettle's actions may also be antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and may have analgesic properties. Nettle also supports the cardiovascular system.
Because nettle is nutrient dense it is considered skin food. The minerals and antioxidants support and nourish our skin from the inside out. The high vitamin c and silica content may
support collagen synthesis and skin repair.
Nettle is considered a natural anti-histamine, it contains compounds (like quercetin and other flavonoids) that may block histamine receptors and reduce the amount of histamine released in the body — which is the key driver of allergy symptoms like itching, swelling, and sneezing.
Nettle increases urine output while decreasing the uric acid plasma levels. The diuretic action of Nettle makes it useful in those dealing with; fluid, retention, eczema, certain skin disorders, arthritis with swollen joints, gout, and congestive heart disease.
