What is Nettle (Urtica sp.)?
Nettle is not exactly one of humanity’s favorite plants. On the contrary, it is often dismissed as a weed—likely due to its stinging and bristly hairs on the leaves. When touched carelessly, they can live up to their name and leave an unpleasant burning sensation on the skin. This happens quite easily, as the plant, which can grow up to 150 cm tall, thrives wherever people live. Whether in gardens, forest edges, or meadows—it feels at home. Many people try to eradicate this ancient plant, but not with much success. Its deep rootstock is winter-hardy and very resilient. Its square-shaped stem and up to 10 cm long clusters of small, inconspicuous flowers also withstand many adversities.
For our products, we use only finely ground leaves and roots. This gives you the full power of the plant. As always, we stay true to our quality promise and use only plants from naturally organic cultivation.
A Medicinal Plant with Ancient Tradition
Despite its reputation today, nettle is one of the oldest medicinal plants known to humankind. As early as 3000 BCE, the ancient Egyptians appreciated Urtica for its pain-relieving effects. In ancient Greece, the physician Dioscorides listed numerous uses for the plant. Nettle was often used for disorders of the excretory organs, for pain, accidental injuries, and to support the respiratory system. In the 1st century CE, Dioredes summed it up clearly: "The leaves soften the belly, dispel bloating, and promote urination."
Even medieval healers like Sebastian Kneipp and Hildegard of Bingen trusted in nettle’s power. Kneipp praised its unique cleansing effects on all body fluids, while Hildegard of Bingen recommended it especially for stomach issues. In folk medicine—both then and now—people rely on this native medicinal plant’s unique composition. In addition to its traditional uses, nettle is also successfully used for skin conditions, to stimulate metabolism, and to support the liver, gallbladder, stomach, intestines, and pancreas.

Sanfte Reinigung von innen – perfekt für Frühling!
Ich mache jeden Frühling eine kleine Detox-Kur und habe dieses Jahr die Brennessel-Tinktur ausprobiert. Was soll ich sagen? Ich bin begeistert! Ich fühle mich wacher, leichter und habe das Gefühl, dass mein Körper entlastet wird – vor allem die Verdauung funktioniert besser. Außerdem ist meine Haut klarer. Ich finde die Qualität super, vor allem weil sie ohne unnötige Zusätze auskommt.
Für Stoffwechsel und Haut einfach top!
Ich habe die Brennessel-Tinktur wegen meiner träge gewordenen Verdauung und wiederkehrenden Hautunreinheiten bestellt – und wurde positiv überrascht! Bereits nach etwa einer Woche merkte ich, dass ich mehr Energie hatte und meine Haut deutlich reiner wurde. Ich nehme die Tropfen morgens und abends, verdünnt in Wasser – der Geschmack ist krautig, aber gut auszuhalten. Das Produkt wirkt sehr hochwertig, ich finde es toll, dass sowohl Blätter als auch Wurzeln verarbeitet werden.
