NETTLE IN MODERN TIMES
Nettle leaf is included among the approved herbs in the
respected German Commission E Monographs. It boasts a
great number of nutrients, including significant amounts of
chlorophyll, protein, ascorbic acid, calcium, magnesium,
Vitamin K1, potassium and zinc.
Such nutrients work together
to promote the health of skin, bones and joints and encourage
a healthy immune and respiratory system. As well, nettle leaf
contains flavonoids such as quercitin, kaempferol, and rutin
that help to maintain healthy levels of histamine in the body.
Histamine release is associated with allergic reactions, where
tissues become damaged and inflamed. Nettle leaf helps to
maintain your body’s defense system and increase histamine
efficiency.
Further, nettle leaf extract promotes the healthy
modulation of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines- key
components associated with normal immune function.
The
immune system’s natural response to environmental stresses
is associated with the production of these compounds. These
responses are healthy within a normal range. However, these
compounds can be found at unhealthy levels and ratios when
tissues are damaged and inflamed. Collectively the nutrients
and phytochemicals in nettle leaf support the body’s normal
and healthy response to poor nutrition, indoor and outdoor air
pollution, allergens and other toxins in the environment.*
