Cleansing from toxins
Perhaps, the main task, value and power of the nettle herbal tea is the purification and detoxification of the blood. Nettle matcha is a potent immune cell activator.
The main problem of body intoxication is malnutrition, which leads to excessive clogging of the blood and, as a result, liver intoxication and adrenal problems. The wide range of beneficial nutrients found in nettle makes it an ideal body detoxifier and blood purifier.
As a diuretic, it can also help eliminate toxins from the body quickly. Nettle also helps to improve the absorption of nutrients in the intestines and maintains the digestive process by preventing the build-up of dangerous toxins. Nettle herbal tea stimulates the lymphatic system, helps rid the body of toxins in the kidneys, and is also used in the treatment of urinary tract diseases and kidney stones.
Women Health
Burning nettle contains several active ingredients that affect women’s health. It is known to relieve cramps and bloating in painful premenstrual symptoms, and also to minimize blood flow during menstruation due to its astringent properties. For women going through menopause, burning nettle smooths out the transition period, so the hormonal shift in the body is not so dramatic.
Characteristics
The high quality of this herbal tea depends not only on the proper production or fermentation process, but above all on the quality of the raw material. The main problem of herbal teas is the chaotic collection of raw material (the herb) in the wrong place and at the wrong time, or the disruption of the drying cycle. A high-quality herbal tea that can have all of the above-mentioned healing properties, can only come from bearers of the herbal tea tradition who respect the plant and know how to unleash its power: healers, shamans and herbalists. Otherwise, all you get is useless grass.
