So, I'm going back to drinking nettle leaf tea and started re-educating my self about its benefits. Just wondering who consumes it and if they've found any lasting benefits? If I recall correctly, @Jennifer and @Blossom consumed it?
I also read something on a board somewhere (looking for studies now) which I found very interesting was that nettle leaves actually help lower lactate in addition to the laundry list of other benefits...
Pound for pound I think we'd be hard pressed to find something that checks so many boxes in the health department and if fiber is an issue, just make a strong brew...
Urtica spp.: Ordinary Plants with Extraordinary Properties
"Supports the liver, kidneys, thyroid, adrenal glands, intestines, bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, etc. It is a natural antihistamine, removes uric acid and dissolves kidney stones. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and trace minerals. It helps to stop diarrhea and bleeding, and is a natural diuretic. The sterols in nettle are anti-inflammatory, immune supporting and dilates blood vessels improving circulation and regulating blood pressure. It is fed to farm animals to increase their growth and give some animals thick healthy coats. Some people also use nettle leaf extract to help restore hair growth and color. Fed to chickens it increases the protein content of their eggs and increases their shell hardness." so says one of my favourite herbalists
