What Are the Health Benefits of Nettle Tea?
Made from the roots, the leaves or the fruit of the stinging nettle plant, nettle tea is available from health food stores as a bulk tea or as individual tea bags. “PDR for Herbal Medicines” reports that the stinging nettle plant contains chemical components that may benefit some people. Since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not test most herbal supplements, consult a reputable herbalist or a doctor of naturopathy before using nettle tea to treat health symptoms.
