Stinging Nettle Leaf Tea
Stinging nettle can be used to help support symptoms of joint pain (disorders of the muscles and joints), irritated skin, joint pain, and anemia. Today, many people use it to help support urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate (called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), urinary tract health concerns, for kidney stones, for hay fever (allergic rhinitis), or in compresses or creams for helping support joint pain, sprains and strains, tendonitis, and insect bites.
In fact, some small but well designed studies are beginning to suggest that certain traditional uses have scientific validity, particularly joint pain especially when used in conjunction with anti-inflammatory medications (see Possible Interactions), and BPH. Plus, recent laboratory studies are offering plausible explanations for why stinging nettles might help support joint pain and several of the complaints already mentioned.
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 tea bag for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea brewing method (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
