Nettle Leaf

Has phytochemical compounds that white blood cells feed off of, nourishes and keeps white count strong without making it go berserk Herb with multiple benefits including urinary tract and immune support While you’re not likely to find nettle leaf listed elsewhere as an adaptogenic herb, it is a star adaptogen, ideal for supporting our bodies through periods of stress. Nettle leaf contains a vast ocean of more than 700 undiscovered phytochemicals. It is life-giving and lifelengthening, an amazing anti- inflammatory for tired organs, and contains healing alkaloids yet to be discovered through scientific research. In women’s health, the ovaries get a lot of attention for producing the reproductive hormones. This means that when a test shows that a woman’s hormone levels are deficient, healthcare professionals tend to blame the reproductive system, which sometimes results in a prescription for unnecessary hormone replacement. In truth, the adrenal glands share the job of producing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in women. Low hormone test results often mean that the adrenals are either overactive (and therefore the excess adrenaline’s corrosive nature is interfering with accurate readings) or underactive (and therefore they’re not keeping up with production of sex hormones). The only way you can get an accurate reading from a hormone test of how the reproductive organs are doing is if the adrenals are perfectly healthy and balanced. So many women in their 20s and 30s are being told they’ve entered perimenopause, when the real cause of their suffering is adrenal fatigue. In countless cases where a woman’s reproductive system is considered the problem, it’s really the adrenals that need help—which is where nettle leaf comes in. This anti-radiation wild food is amazing for pampering the adrenal glands and other members of the endocrine system that are overburdened, overworked, and overfatigued. And since the ovaries are part of the endocrine system, nettle is a win-win—it helps address multiple sources of hormone disruption at once. Nettle leaf is the ultimate reproductive herb of all time, especially for women. It enhances egg production by supporting the follicle-stimulating hormone that’s integral to producing an ovum, and also rids the body of toxic estrogens that have entered from outside sources such as plastics and pesticides. Rich with bone-building and boneprotecting nutrients such as silica, nettle leaf also has more than 40 trace minerals in their most bioactive, bioavailable, and assimilable states. All of this, plus nettle is a potent pain reliever that enhances our ability to thrive.
