✅ Nettle Tea:
Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried nettle leaves in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Drink up to twice a day.
✅ Nettle Capsules or Extracts:
Follow the dosage recommended on the bottle. Look for organic, wildcrafted sources.
✅ Fresh Leaf Tapping:
Gently slap fresh leaves (wear gloves!) onto painful joints. It stings for a minute, but often brings relief soon after.
✅ Nettle Oil or Salve:
Infuse dried nettle in oil (like olive oil) for 2–4 weeks, then strain and apply to joints for regular use.
✅ Nettle Powder:
Dry nettle leaves and grind into powder. Add 1 tsp to smoothies, soups, or sprinkle on food.
Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) is more than just a wild weed—it’s a botanical ally in the fight against arthritis, joint stiffness, swelling, and general inflammation. Its gentle yet powerful properties make it a go-to remedy for both short-term flare-ups and long-term support.
Used with consistency, nettle may help you regain mobility, reduce reliance on painkillers, and support a more comfortable, active life.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
While stinging nettle is generally safe when used properly, it may interact with certain medications, especially blood thinners, diuretics, or anti-diabetic drugs. It’s always wise to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new herbal routine—especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a chronic health condition.
