Nettle improves blood circulation, but also relieves allergies, lowers blood pressure, etc.
Nettle contains potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, protein, fiber, sodium, vitamin A and B6. It is also rich in linoleic, palmitic, stearic and oleic acid. Contains kaempferol, quercetin, caffeic acid, beta-carotene, lutein and other carotenoids . It can be consumed in different variants: as a main ingredient in salads, as a soup and as a main dish.
It contains enough iron and vitamin C, which makes vegetables ideal for the production of red blood cells. This makes it possible to irrigate the limbs. Therefore, regular consumption of iron is associated with the prevention of anemia or fatigue, which is characterized by general weakness, exhaustion, headaches and cognitive impairment.
Nettle has many other benefits such as:
It has antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties that suppress pollen allergies such as cough, sneezing, hay fever and asthma. Nettle can alleviate even allergic reactions to animals. These properties are lost if the nettle is not harvested or processed properly.
It can help with some health problems, including uterine infection. The compounds in the plant also help reduce kidney and gallbladder stones. It is also a natural diuretic, helping to quickly remove toxins and prevent bladder infections and fluid retention.
High blood pressure is dangerous to health because it puts a person at risk of heart disease and stroke. Animal studies have shown that it can help lower blood pressure by stimulating the production of nitric oxide, which helps to dilate the muscles of blood vessels.
Nettle can be consumed daily, but can also be used as a main element in beautification. It helps with damaged and treated hair. It is rich in sulfur and silicon dioxide , which prevents hair loss, but at the same time accelerates hair growth and makes it healthy, strong and shiny. For this purpose, nettle tea can be applied to the hair 1-2 times a week to achieve visible results.
