Common Nettle - Health Through Nature
It is well known that gardeners remove it from their gardens, considering it a mere weed. However, nettle has valuable properties that make it increasingly appreciated in herbal medicine. Its growing popularity is mainly due to its wide availability – after all, it has no high growth requirements and can commonly be found in nature. It grows practically everywhere in the world, except in tropical zones and the two poles.

Nettle - what are its components?
Herbal medicine particularly values nettle for the presence of many components. Their diversity makes it one of the most valuable herbs in the Polish climate zone. It stands out for its significant content of vitamins A, K, B2, and C, and also contains a large amount of minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Nettle also contains active organic acids and phytosterols. It is the richest natural source of iron, which makes it especially suitable for consumption by pregnant or menopausal women.

Regular consumption of nettle - benefits
Due to its high iron content, nettle is particularly recommended for people suffering from a deficiency of this mineral. Iron deficiency leads to serious consequences such as pale skin, a general feeling of fatigue, and in extreme cases, anemia. Iron deficiency affects the low capacity of bone marrow to produce hemoglobin, which impairs oxygen circulation in the body and leads to hypoxia.

Pregnancy and menopause - special recommendations
Common nettle is also valuable for pregnant or menopausal women. It promotes milk production, which is the most valuable food for newborns and babies. The components present in nettle also accelerate the healing of postpartum swelling.

Other benefits
The plant is recommended for people suffering from urinary problems, mainly due to its diuretic properties. Nettle is also excellent during the spring and autumn solstice periods, mainly because of its ability to strengthen the body's general immunity. People with acne-prone skin should also regularly drink nettle infusion.

Nettle - application
Like most plants, nettle is most often administered as an infusion. Syrups are also useful in cases of colds or other illnesses, as they strengthen the body's general immunity. The cosmetic industry has also recognized the qualities of this plant, hence its presence in many hair care preparations and products to combat dandruff and itching. By adding nettle to your bath, you can ensure your skin is well nourished.

Contraindications
To date, the use of nettle does not present particular contraindications. Exceptions concern people suffering from kidney failure. The diuretic properties of this plant can indeed contribute to excessive strain on these organs. It is also not recommended for people with diabetes to use nettle.

Nettle tea
Herbal teas are the most common mode of administration. This is also the case with nettle. Preparing this infusion is a bit more complicated than with other plants, but again, this activity should not pose major problems. First, pour a measured amount of the dried plant into a pot, add cold water, and bring to a boil. Then cover the pot and let it boil for another 5 minutes. Once this step is completed, turn off the stove and leave it covered for an additional 10 minutes.
