This Indiana Stinging Nettle is foraged on several wooded areas in central Indian far away from any crop fields, roads, or walkways to ensure that they have not come into contact with any herbicides, insecticides, etc. Only the top few sets of leaves are harvested off each plant to ensure that the colony will continue to prosper.

The leaves are dried whole in small batches, then hand-crumbled (after they are washed of course!) into air-tight jars and stored in a cool, dark place until it is packaged for shipment.

Scientific Name:

Urtica dioica

Description:

Sinting nettle is a plant of the nettle family Urticaceae that grows in full sun forest clearings in eastern and central North America. It has a single or branched stem with opposite leaves, stinging hairs, light green flowers in panicles, and leaves with toothed margins.

Uses:

As far as nutrition is concerned, few other plants can match these beauties. They’re packed with iron, calcium, vitamins C, K, A, and B, as well as sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Nettles are also surprisingly rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene and lutein, and they have oodles of essential amino acids too.

It can be used as a tea, or cooked as one would prepare spinach. If you choose to enjoy this as a tea, please be sure to strain it properly after steeping to ensure that all trichomes are kept out to prevent irritation.

In addition to being incredibly nourishing, stinging nettles have a variety of different medicinal uses. Some of those include, but are not limited to:

Iron Supplement for anemia and heavy menstrual bleeding

Alleviate Adrenal Fatigue

Calcium supplement for osteoarthritis and osteoporosis

Mild diuretic
