Product Description
Nettle, or Urtica dioica in Latin, has long been known and used as a powerful blood purifying herb. Its Latin name is derived from the word 'uro', which means to burn, as the stinging sensation of nettle is familiar to everyone. This sensation is caused by the fluid in nettle, which contains histamine and formic acid among others.
