Nettle

Urtica dioica

Stinging Nettle has been used across Europe, Africa and North America for thousands of years as food, fiber and herbal support. Once dried, it loses its sting and becomes one of the most mineral-rich, nourishing herbs available. Many herbalists consider it a foundation herb for daily wellness.
