What is Nettle?
Nettle, also known as stinging nettle, is an herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the urticaceae family. Once dried, nettle loses its sting. Recognized as a whole-food multivitamin by herbalists.
Nettle is one of nature's richest sources of iron but also contains serotonin, potassium, silica, vitamins A and C (antioxidant) and a host of other minerals! Known for encouraging dapples in horse's coats.
