What is Nettle (Urtica sp.)?

The nettle is not exactly one of humanity’s favorite plants. On the contrary, it is often referred to as a weed. This is mainly due to its leaves, which are covered with numerous stinging and bristly hairs. When touched carelessly, these hairs certainly live up to their name and can leave unpleasant marks on the skin. This happens quite easily, as the plant – which can grow up to 150 cm tall – is found wherever people live. It thrives in gardens, forest edges, and meadows alike. People often try to fight this ancient plant deliberately, but this is not easy, since its deep rootstock is hardy and resilient. Its four-edged stem and clusters of small, inconspicuous flowers up to 10 cm long also withstand many environmental challenges.

For our products, we use only ground leaves and roots. This way, you benefit from the full power of the plant. Of course, we adhere to our quality promise and use only plants from natural, organic cultivation.

A medicinal plant with a long tradition

Despite its modern reputation, the nettle is one of the oldest medicinal plants on earth. As early as 3,000 years before our era, the ancient Egyptians valued Urtica for its soothing effects on various types of pain. The knowledge about this healing plant was also preserved in antiquity. The Greek physician Dioscorides described numerous uses, especially for ailments of the excretory organs, pain, strained movements, and to support the respiratory system. Another ancient source summarized its benefits succinctly in the 1st century AD: “The leaves soften the abdomen, dispel flatulence and promote urination.”

Even the healers of the Middle Ages, such as Sebastian Kneipp and Hildegard von Bingen, placed their full trust in this plant. Kneipp recognized its unique cleansing effect on all bodily fluids, while Hildegard praised nettle mainly for its beneficial impact on digestive discomfort. In folk medicine, people have long relied – and still rely – on the unique composition of active ingredients found in this native plant. In addition to its traditional uses, nettle has also been successfully used for skin problems, to stimulate metabolism, and to support the liver, gallbladder, stomach, intestines, and pancreas.

What’s inside:

Nettle contains a true abundance of highly effective plant compounds, such as:

• Phenolic acids (antioxidants that may slow the aging process and help keep inflammation under control)
• Flavonoids (powerful antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals)
• Coumarin (known for its calming, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties)
• Chlorophyll
• Carotenoids – these secondary plant substances are among the most important antioxidants and provide effective protection against free radicals
• Vitamins (A, C, E)
• Minerals and trace elements: iron, potassium, silicon, magnesium, phosphorus
