Choosing between hand picked nettle tea and pre-packaged

Posted in Blogging by on August 30, 2011 No Comments yet

When traipsing in the woods, nearly everybody will go out of their way to avoid stinging nettle plants as touching them with exposed skin can be very painful. However, as with a lot of things in the wild, nothing is what it appears

Nettle Tea

A tea made from the nettle plant is really healthy, and it can be produced by simply boiling and steeping the plant’s leaves.

Apart from the minerals and vitamins that it gives, it also provides an anti-histamine agent to fight skin conditions, allergies, gout pain as well as other health issues. It facilitates better milk development for nursing mothers and it is also helpful when used on the head as a hair growth compound.

You might not need to explore the forest in order to find some nettle leaves, as these have become available from your preferred health food stores.

Many people don’t want to create their own organic product however, lots of consumers make use of organic products for their own reasons.

There is nothing complicated about creating nettle tea; you simply pick out some nettle leaves (using hand protection, obviously), boil them (cooking the leaves deactivates the “stingers”) and seep the leaves.

When you are done, remove the leaves, add sugar or honey to create a delicious taste then you’re all set for the tea.

Like any others, I’m a bit uncertain that the boiling method will remove the stingers; since failure to boil it adequately can lead to an awful tummy ache simply because nettle recipes may vary.

Additionally, what type of environment does the nettle plant you are getting the leaves from live in?

Is it a type of environment which has virtually no direct contact to any dangerous chemicals like pesticide sprays or is it truly an untouched location?

If it is the second, the nettle leaves may have soaked up those toxins, which, will consequently, be taken in by you.

Furthermore, it’s hard to get nettle plants growing in the city.

It is not safe to grow a nettle plant in your house if you have children or domestic pets that may accidentally injure them when they brush against the nettle plant.

Buying nettle tea on the web or through organic health shops could be a better choice rather than making it yourself in order to get the benefits it may bring.

Do not let that keep you from consuming it and obtaining the benefits!

It’s quicker to buy dried nettle tea from the shop near you rather than go looking around the sides of roads.

As an added benefit, by getting your nettle tea from a health food store, you’ll probably have the opportunity to find a tea containing nettles as well as other natural remedies in the form of dried plants and herbs.

That is if you get enjoyment from having a few cups of tea for you to obtain the goodness of nature.

Nettle teas of any type, loose or bagged, are really price-friendly.

Moreover, for those who have grown their own nettle plants they’ll just easily go over their property and harvest them with no charge!
