Stinging Nettle (Urtica Dioica) 250 seeds (#2251)

Perennial plant 70-80 cm tall. The usable part is the leaves, which contain many vitamins and mineral salts. Nettle cleanses the body of toxins, strengthens the hair, is also used in rheumatic diseases and in the treatment of skin diseases.
The plant has a long tradition of medicinal uses.
Stinging nettle greens have been used for centuries to treat joint pain, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. For many people, a bracing cup of nettle tea is still a panacea for a wealth of health issues. It’s no wonder since stinging nettle greens are loaded with antioxidants as well as lutein, lycopene, and iron. The health benefits aside, stinging nettles are also delicious
However, the nettle leaves, the young and non-stinging nettle leaves, can be eaten until late summer.
Stinging nettle occurs in moist sites along streams, open forests, and ditches, on mountain slopes, in woodland clearings, and in disturbed areas such as roadsides and old fields. Gows in moist, nitrogen-rich or even poor soils.
