Nettle is a powerhouse herb loaded with essential vitamins and minerals. We use Nettle in several of our tea blends, as well as in infusions and tincture form. In our opinion, no home apothecary should be without a jar of dried nettle (or a patch of fresh nettle in the garden, for that matter). Add it to your cup of tea or smoothies for an extra vita-boost, toss a handful in soups and sauces, or make a dry leaf tincture with organic nettle leaves.

As shared by The Herbal Academy, "Known as an overall nourisher and strengthened, stinging nettle leaf (Urtica dioica) is chock full of vitamins and minerals most notably magnesium, calcium, iron, and protein that can be easily assimilated. (Wood, 1997 & Weed, 1989). According to herbalist Rosemary Gladstar, nettle is also “one of the highest sources of digestible iron in plant form” (Gladstar, 1993, p. 29)."


Stinging nettle’s leaves are believed to provide a wide variety of nutrients, including:

  • Vitamins: Vitamins A, C and K, as well as several B vitamins
  • Minerals: Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium
  • Fats: Linoleic acid, linolenic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid
  • Amino acids: All of the essential amino acids
  • Polyphenols: Kaempferol, quercetin, caffeic acid, coumarins and other flavonoids
  • Pigments: Beta-carotene, lutein, luteoxanthin and other carotenoids
  • ***What’s more, many of these nutrients act as antioxidants inside your body.
