what are the benfits of drinking nettle leaf tea or is the nettle leaf capsule a better choice?
Nettles are high in calcium, magnesium, iron , silica and potassium as well as righ in Vitamins A and C
High iron content and high nutritional content means that nettle tea is useful in the treatment of anaemia and fatigue.
Drinking nettle tea regularly can sooth achy joints and muscles. It is therefore beneficial for people suffering from arthritis.
Nettle is also praised for its digestive benefits in helping to sooth bloating and digestive discomfort
Currently, nettle root is more commonly used medicinally than the above-ground portion of the herb. In Europe, nettle root is widely used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate enlargement. Like saw palmetto, pygeum, and beta-sitosterol, nettle appears to reduce obstruction to urinary flow and decrease the need for nighttime urination. However, the evidence is not as strong for nettle as it is for these other treatments.
Note: Before self-treating prostate symptoms with nettle root, be sure to get a proper medical evaluation to rule out prostate cancer.
Nettle leaf has become a popular treatment for allergies (hay fever) based on one preliminary double-blind study.
Nettle leaf is highly nutritious and, in cooked form, may be used as a general dietary supplement.
