The unrecognized treasure from your garden!
"Queen of weeds" - this honorary title was given to the nettle by Rudolf Steiner. Why? Not only does it play an important ecological role - insects and birds fly to it, and it serves as a caterpillar food plant for over 30 species of butterflies - but as a medicinal plant it also offers us humans an unparalleled wealth of healthy ingredients.
In nettle we find carotenoids for the eyes and as an immune booster, vitamins from the B group for good nerves, vitamin E for fertility and as a radical scavenger, vitamin K for healthy bones and wound healing. The flavonoids in nettles protect blood vessels and the heart, plant acids have an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect, chlorophyll is important for detoxification and defense, and amino acids support cell and muscle building. In terms of minerals, nettles are rich in calcium, potassium, phosphorus, chlorine, magnesium, silicon, easily digestible iron and the rare trace elements manganese, boron and copper. We even find trace amounts of gold! These minerals are extremely important for energy production, for the immune system, water and acid-base balance, for blood formation, bones and teeth. This underrated plant even contains the mood-enhancing serotonin!
