November's Health Tip - Stinging Nettle

Anyone interested in a natural approach to health will find herbal teas and herbal infusions to be a great asset. Abundantly found and very affordable, they both make a great ally in maintaining a high level of health. Having enjoyed a certain popularity in the 60s and 70s, they are presently still viewed as a bit of an oddity with the general public. This is a shame, considering the history of herbs as one of humanities' greatest source of healing.

I've recently become acquainted with "Stinging Nettle". I am amazed to see how beneficial it can be. Using the dried bulk leaves and preparing them as an infusion, Stinging Nettle will provide you with many health benefits. Stinging Nettle is a tonic that will nourish, cleanse and revitalize many different organs and systems within the body. It's also a great energy and stamina booster on days when you feel tired and sluggish. Stinging Nettle's elemental content includes many vitamins and minerals such as iron, silica, potassium, manganese, sulphur and vitamins A & C.

Susun S. Weed in her Book (Menopausal Years - The Wise Woman Way) lists the following benefits of drinking an infusion of Stinging Nettle:

Nourish, strengthen, rebuild kidneys and adrenals Ease and eliminate cystitis, bloat and incontinence Rehydrate dry vaginal tissue Nourish and energize the endocrine glands Nourish and rejuvenate the cardiovascular system Normalize weight Ease and prevent sore joints Relieve constipation and reduce hemorrhoids Create strong, flexible bones Stabilize blood sugar Reduce fatigue and exhaustion; improve stamina Reduce and eliminate headaches Nourish and support the immune system Nourish and heal the digestive system Nourish and strengthen the nervous system
I can personally vouch for many of the above benefits and highly recommend Susun's book. There are many ways of using Stinging Nettle. While making a tea with the bulk leaves is the most common method, making an herbal infusion provides more potent benefits. Again Susun Weed writes a wonderful article on her web site about the advantages of using herbal infusions over teas.
To make an herbal infusion add a cup of dried leaves to a litre container of water that was brought to a boil. Make sure you use a container that will not break from boiling water, such as a canning jar etc. Seal and let stand overnight. Strain out the leaves and drink within a day and a half. Two to four cups a day is recommended. Your can read more on preparing an herbal infusion here. Stinging Nettle is available at most natural food stores (ex: Nature's Fare). Buying the bulk leaves tends to give you a fresher more potent product. Packaging should be air tight and opaque to protect the leaves. Exposure to light and air will weaken the medicinal properties of any herb. Store in a dark, cool place.
Caution: To the best of my knowledge, there are no reported health risks associated with Stinging Nettle. Susun recommends to not use the fresh "flowering" Stinging Nettle for food or medicine. Stinging Nettle Photos A Reminder: Do not forget that while you can read my health tips directly on my web site, I have written a book entitled Inner Care, which is a compilation of ten of my health tips revised and expanded. Inner Care sells for $15 and makes a wonderful gift for anyone interested in optimum health. Inner Care is available by contacting me directly or can be purchased by credit card using our *PayPal* shopping cart. Visit our Products' Web Site - Inner Guidance Page by clicking here.

Lifestyle Choice:

The beauty of drinking herbal teas is in the simple pleasure they give and the healthy benefits they provide. As with most positive lifestyle choices the benefits of becoming acquainted with herbs goes far beyond the immediate experience. A wealth of knowledge about our bodies and our health opens for us, as we introduce healing herbs into our daily routine. We now witness with awe and appreciation the mystery and wisdom of nature as it provides us with these wonderful allies to assist us to optimum health.
