Tealand Herbals Stinging Nettle is a shrub that comes from northern Europe and Asia. The stem is covered in tiny, stiff hairs that release stinging chemicals when touched. The leaves, stem, or root from the nettle plant can be crushed and made into powders, tinctures, creams, teas, and more. While people have used it for centuries as herbal medicine, modern research also supports many of the potential health benefits of nettle and nettle tea: Urinary tract health, arthritis and pain, blood sugar management, the power of polyphenols.
