Stinging nettle is a weed and a pain in the back, difficult to manage because it stings, but it’s a herb you need. There’s no other herb like it and the dried product is inferior as vitamins, phytonutrients and anti-inflammatory compounds are reduced in the drying process. Antioxidants, and enzymes are more active in fresh nettle.
According to my grandparents the sting of the nettle was good against rheuma and I think it’s more than a saying.
Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), is a versatile perennial herb celebrated for centuries as a superfood, anti-inflammatory, and detox herb. Maria Treben praised it for a pletora of illnesses from eczema, kidney problems, sciata, to improve the circulation, tiredness and more serious illnesses.
Nettle is a weed, but it does like nice soil, it grows especially well in horse paddocks. When planting stinging nettle for practical use it’s probably best to keep it contained, because you don’t want to weed it out of other plants unless you like working with gloves.
Stinging nettle is versataile: from cosmetic, remedy, soup, quiche to your favourite skincare recipe this plant ticks all the boxes. Only the fresh plant provides the whole value for the price of a coffee you’re set for abundance. Wether you want free fertiliser, you’re a herbalist or a health enthusiasts you’ll find some space, be it a balcony, courtyard, backyard or paddock.
Maria Treben was an Austrian herbalist and her book “Gesundheit aus der Apotheke Gottes” used to be a staple in German-speaking countries but also made it into the Czechoslovakia (the English edition is inferior though). Stinging nettle was one of her major herbs and she praised it for its blood-purifying and restorative properties. Maria Treben mainly worked with teas and baths and did not recommend many complicated medicines.
Grow a nutrient-packed, multi-purpose stinging nettle plant in your Australian garden and enjoy the health, culinary, and gardening benefits of one of nature’s most powerful herbs.
