Why We Love Stinging Nettle

Did you know stinging nettle is treated like an inconvenient nuisance and discarded like a useless weed? If only people knew the treasure of benefits it offers. My family and I consume stinging nettle as tea to relieve inflammation of muscles, headaches, and even swelling after major surgeries. Even NIH recognizes its many scientific benefits.

The only downside it is that it’s called stinging nettle for a reason. If you look at it closely, it’s covered with tiny needles that sting you, so you have to protect yourself when handling it, or you’ll suffer big time.
