The underappreciated treasure from your garden!
"Queen of Weeds" – this honorary title was bestowed upon the stinging nettle by Rudolf Steiner. Why? Not only does it play an important ecological role – insects and birds flock to it, and it serves as a food plant for over 30 species of butterflies – but it also offers an unparalleled abundance of healthy ingredients as a medicinal plant for us humans.
In the nettle, we find carotenoids for eyes and as an immune booster, B vitamins for healthy nerves, vitamin E for fertility and as a free radical scavenger, vitamin K for healthy bones and wound healing. The flavonoids in nettle protect blood vessels and the heart, plant acids have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, chlorophyll is important for detoxification and defense, and amino acids support cell and muscle building. In terms of minerals, nettle boasts calcium, potassium, phosphorus, chlorine, magnesium, silicon, easily usable iron, and the rare trace elements manganese, boron, and copper. We even find traces of gold! These minerals are extremely important for energy production, the immune system, water and acid-base balance, blood formation, bones, and teeth. Even mood-lifting serotonin can be found in this underestimated plant!
