HOW TO USE
2oz of organic nettle leaf brews approximately 15 to 20 cups of loose-leaf herbal tea.
Steep one to two teaspoons in 8oz of boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes for a rich, earthy, deeply nourishing herbal infusion. For maximum mineral extraction, many herbalists recommend a long, cold, or room temperature infusion: add two tablespoons to a quart of water and steep covered for 4 to 8 hours or overnight. The result is a deeply mineral-rich, nourishing herbal infusion that is one of the most nutritive preparations in the Western herbal tradition. Pairs beautifully with lemon balm, peppermint, or oatstraw.
Organic nettle leaf, known botanically as Urtica dioica, is one of the most nutritionally dense plants on earth and one of the most revered herbs in the Western herbal tradition. Used for centuries across Europe, North Africa, and the Americas as a daily mineral tonic, a seasonal allergy remedy, and a comprehensive nutritive herb for women's health, pregnancy support, and iron-deficiency anemia, nettle earns its place as a true herbal staple. At The Herbal Scoop, our certified organic bulk nettle leaf is sourced from a kosher-certified, organic-certified facility and sold in small batches from our herbal tea shop in Narrowsburg, NY, so you always get the freshest, most potent nettle available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is nettle tea good for allergies and hay fever?
Yes, and this is one of nettle's most well-documented benefits. Nettle leaf contains compounds that inhibit histamine production and block several inflammatory enzymes involved in allergic response, functioning similarly to a natural antihistamine. Studies have found that freeze-dried nettle leaf in capsule form reduced allergy symptoms in the majority of participants who rated it as effective as or more effective than over-the-counter allergy medications. Drinking a strong nettle infusion daily during allergy season is one of the most traditional and well-supported uses of this herb.
Is nettle tea high in iron?
Yes. Nettle leaf is one of the richest plant sources of iron available in herbal tea form, alongside calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamins A, C, K, and folate. Because nettle contains vitamin C alongside its iron, absorption of the non-heme plant iron is enhanced. Many herbalists recommend nettle as part of a nutritional protocol for iron-deficiency anemia, particularly for women of reproductive age, pregnant women, and anyone recovering from blood loss.
Is nettle tea safe during pregnancy?
Nettle leaf is one of the most widely used pregnancy herbs in the Western herbal tradition, valued for its exceptional iron, folate, calcium, and vitamin K content. Many midwives and herbalists recommend it as a nutritive pregnancy tonic. However, some sources caution that large amounts may have mild uterine-stimulating effects, particularly in the first trimester. The most widely held guidance among herbalists is to use nettle in moderate amounts as a tea during the second and third trimesters and to consult your healthcare provider or midwife before adding any herb to a pregnancy routine.
Is nettle tea good for hair growth?
Yes. Nettle is one of the most searched and recommended herbs for hair health. Its high silica, iron, and mineral content support healthy hair follicle function and scalp circulation from within.
What does nettle tea taste like?
Nettle tea has a rich, earthy, deeply green flavor similar to a strong spinach broth, more savory than most herbal teas. It is naturally caffeine-free and becomes more palatable with a squeeze of lemon or a blend of peppermint or lemon balm. Many regular nettle drinkers come to love its grounding, mineral-rich flavor as a daily ritual.
