Stinging Nettle Tea Recipe

This special tea is one of my favorite teas that are badass for my healing toolbox for viruses, cancer, or anytime I feel a pain, swelling, or a flu coming around. I use it as an everyday medicinal tonic for myself and my son because of it’s overall digestive aid, calming effects, anti-inflammatory magic helping you if you are cleansing or just being in tune with your health!

Stinging Nettle is the main ingredient in this tea and for good reason. The benefits of it spans wide in the many ways it touches almost every part of the body. Nettle promotes bone health, can increase muscle mass, relieves tension and stress on the heart, and treats respiratory issues. It’s anti-inflammatory, improves circulation, detoxifies the body and promotes feminine health.
