Urtica dioica · Dried Leaves · Traditional Herbal Infusions

With its deep green character and long tradition of use in European herbal kitchens, Stinging Nettle Leaf is a familiar and versatile botanical.

Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a perennial plant recognised for its toothed leaves and the fine stinging hairs found on the fresh plant. Once properly dried and prepared, the leaves have an earthy, leafy aroma and a distinctively green flavour.

Our dried Stinging Nettle Leaf is offered as a pure single botanical ingredient for traditional infusions and blends.

At Flowers from my Meadow, we keep it pure and uncomplicated: dried Stinging Nettle Leaf, carefully packed for your herbal pantry.

How to Prepare

For a traditional nettle infusion: Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Stinging Nettle Leaf to 250ml freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes, then strain. Serve warm or allow to cool.

Precautions

Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or if taking prescription medication or managing a medical condition. Nettle preparations are not a substitute for treatment of urinary or other medical problems.

Avoid use if you have a known sensitivity to Stinging Nettle. Discontinue use if irritation or an adverse reaction occurs.
