NETTLE - BOWEL BUSTER


Nettle grows up to four feet tall and has toothed, pointed leaves that sting when touched. In spite of of its stinging, Nettles are of considerable use in many ways. Nettle is used in cooking, and once cooked they lose their sting. Cook as you would spinach and use in salads. A great source of vitamins A and C, iron and a variety of other minerals.

A cup of warm water followed by a cup of nettle tea first thing in the morning will get you going in the bowel department-Nettle also cleanses the liver and helps keep infections at bay. Two cups a day should keep you as regular as clock work. I find a cup in the middle of the day is a great pick me up too. And for those with oily skin, implement Nettle tea to your daily regimen and you will see a marked improvement, so, afternoon tea should be a delight. Add honey or lemon for a refreshing taste.
