Nettle is an incredibly nutritious plant, containing many vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and a rich array of fatty and amino acids, Nettle is a fantastic medicinal for women using leaves and roots added to hot water or blended in to a matcha.
Nettle root is an herb with a long
history of use in traditional medicine, and it's one of my favorite plants for hormone balance. I have a friend who suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder that affects approximately 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. One of the symptoms associated with it are
Androgen excess,
Androgens can:
throw your menstrual cycle out of whack
make it tough to get pregnant.
Acne
Excessive hair growth on parts of your body
The good news is that there are things you can do to manage your androgen levels, and one of them is adding nettle tea in to your routine.
In herbal medicine, nettle tea is also used to help reduce inflammation throughout the body's systems so think about inflammatory diseases such as ARTHRITUS and LUPUS and cardiovascular diseases. its a powerhouse of goodness!
I've added Chamomile from here in the Adirondacks grown on my land, it gives a beautifully honey undertone and helps not only relax your body but your mind too.
