Nettle tea benefits

One of the most important nettle tea benefits is its ability to reduce the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for various types of inflammation. This unique property makes nettle tea and other nettle products useful in the treatment of gout, arthritis and even certain kinds of allergies. It is also a mild diuretic, making it useful for bladder, kidney and urinary tract disorders. Some additional internal nettle tea benefits include:
  • Treating anemia
  • Boosting the immune system
  • Restoring nutrients to the system
  • Treating coughs, colds and congestion
  • Battling urinary tract infection
  • Dissolving kidney stones
  • Treating bladder problems
Try drinking nettle tea the next time you have a kidney or bladder infection, but make sure to consult your doctor first. Never take nettle when on prescription drugs without first consulting a doctor, as serious reactions could occur.
