Nettle Tea

Stinging Nettle Tea (Urtica diocia) has for a long time been used to treat allergy symptoms, particularly hay-fever.
A known diuretic and anti-inflammatory, Nettle is used to treat a range of conditions including arthritis and can be great for certain kidney issues too.

Nettle Tea is often used for the following...

• Treatment of allergies by reducing histamine levels within the body
• Anti-inflammatory properties

Put the leaves (one teaspoon) in boiling water until the water turns light green.

Nettles are known primarily for their ability to induce skin irritation following contact. The short-term itching is caused by the release of histamine, serotonin, and choline from the hairs and spines of the leaves and stem and generally goes away spontaneously.

Emily - "The Lavender flavour is more delicate than others I’ve tried, and it’s going well mixed with some Chamomile flowers and Nettle leaves as a night time relaxing tea during my pregnancy."
