Nettle Leaf (Urtica) Herbal Tincture Extract
MADE WITH FRESH PICKED NETTLE LEAVES
Nettle leaves are powerful health promoting herbs that grow abundantly in the wild. The Nettle Leaves I am using for this tincture are grown in a special corner in my garden.
Nettles are rich in chlorophyll and minerals such as iron, chromium, zinc, copper, magnesium, silicon, cobalt, and calcium. Nettles are also high in vitamins A, E, D, C, & K.
Nettle tincture has been used to possibly ease symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is also used to purportedly alleviate symptoms of hay fever. Women who are breast-feeding may use nettle for its high content of calcium and iron and possible diuretic effect to enrich and enhance the flow of breast milk. Nettle may also soothe symptoms of urinary-tract infection by increasing urination and helping to rinse bacteria out of the urinary tract.
Nettle leaf has also been used as a herbal hair and scalp formula for centuries. Nettle leaf extract seems to promote hair regrowth and thicken hair, as well as reducing dandruff and scalp conditions when used as a rinse (mix a few drops of nettle leaf tincture with water). For stimulating hair growth, the old herbalists recommended combing the hair daily with expressed Nettle juice or nettle leaf tincture.
How to use Nettle Leaf Tincture?
You can use the nettle leaf tincture internally and externally.
Suggested amount internally is to take about 30 drops mixed in a glass of water or other beverage and drink the entire contents, 3 times a day.
As a hair rinse mix a few drops nettle leaf tincture with water (about 30 drops for 1 cup of water) pour it over your washed hair and let it soak for about 5-10 minutes, then rinse. This promotes hair regrowth and thicken hair, as well as reducing dandruff and scalp conditions. It is also recommended combing the hair daily with putting a few drops on your comb or hair brush.
As mouth rinse mix about 30 drops Nettle Leaf Tincture with 1 cup of water and rinse your mouth with this mixture daily.
