​Role in Detox:
Nettle activates the entire endocrine system and especially the thyroid and adrenal glands, activating the body's innate intelligence and absolute ability to restore itself to perfect health.  As a diuretic and kidney restorative Nettle purifies the waters of the body, aiding the kidneys in their role of filtering metabolic waste from the blood and lymph. Nettles is also considered a supremely nutritive plant (containing a complete amino acid profile as well as providing highly charged mineral and vitamin content) and so is one of those rare plants that detoxifies and builds tissues simultaneously, making it ideal for all cleansing protocol.
Considered a nutritive plant, Nettles are considered safe and taken in amounts suited to consumption as a green leafy vegetable.
While all parts of the nettle plant are edible, the leaves and stems can’t be eaten straight from the plant due to the barbs. Instead, you must blend, juice, crush, dry, or cook the plant before eating it to deactivate its stinging potential.
