#Nettle has a long #medicinal history. In #medieval #Europe, it was used as a #diuretic (to rid the body of excess water) and to treat #joint #pain and has been used for hundreds of years to treat #painful #muscles and #joints, #eczema, #arthritis, #gout, and #anemia. Today, many people use it to treat #urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged #prostate (called benign prostatic #hyperplasia or BPH). It is also used for #urinary tract #infections, #hay #fever (#allergic #rhinitis), or in #compresses or #creams for treating joint pain, #sprains and #strains, #tendonitis, and #insect #bites.
Sold by the gram. Please bring or order a bag
MINIMUM ORDER IS 100g OR $5 WORTH and buy a bag or other suitable container (search JAR or BOTTLE on our website).
You can bring your own container if you are picking up. Please make sure that you bring bottles for liquids and wide-mouthed jars or bags for solids. Please make sure that the containers you bring are the right size. To use your container for oils, the bottle must be exactly the right size because I will be filling your order by volume. A 1000mL J jar, not a quart jar. In case of shorting due to metric versus imperial measures, I may fill your container right to the top, your measure might be short, or I may ask you to buy an extra container.
