Nettle: a remedy from God that you can find by the forest and that really helps with allergies, rheumatism, and prostate issues

Even in ancient times, nettle tea was highly valued. That’s why it was called a remedy from God. Today we know that by drinking it regularly, many diseases can be cured, or at least the symptoms can be alleviated.

Nettle is also recommended by doctors for treating allergies, anemia, respiratory diseases, various internal infections and inflammations (including inflammations in the mouth and canker sores), it helps overcome fatigue and low mood, prevents hair loss, stimulates hair growth, and prevents dandruff, helps with hemorrhoids, and is recommended for diabetes patients. Recently, more and more studies confirm the positive impact of nettles on cancer treatment. Even old folks knew that nettles cleanse the urinary tract, help with joint problems, rheumatism ...

If you pick nettles yourself, the best ones grow on the edges of the forest or by rivers. Young and bright plants are also stronger than darker and older ones. They are best picked after rain.

How to prepare nettle tea?

Boil water, then pour it over a handful of dried or fresh nettles. Let it steep for 10 minutes, strain, and drink.

You should drink a cup or two a day. Of course, drink unsweetened tea, it can also be consumed chilled, but no older than 1 day.

Nettle is not only beneficial in tea, it can also be used in salads, as an addition to smoothies, but is especially interesting as an ingredient in omelets.

Moreover: nettles contain more vitamin C and beta carotene than most other cultivated vegetables. If consumed excessively, they have a laxative effect, cause heartburn, and create excess heat in the body (not very pleasant in summer). Therefore, eat nettle teas and dishes in moderation and definitely not every day.
