• Stinging Nettle has been traditionally used in European herbal medicine to support immune function, often prepared as a tea or decoction. Its use is based on its high content of vitamins and minerals that may help bolster the body’s defenses.

  The mechanism by which stinging nettle supports immunity is not fully characterized but is thought to involve the provision of essential nutrients such as vitamin C, iron, and potassium, which are known to support immune health.
