NETTLE SPRING TOPS: A FIRST-RATE TONIC FOR RHEUMATISM AND ALLERGIES

Nettle Spring Tops have been used as an anti-inflammatory over the millennia in many different cultures both East and West.

Modern research has shown that Nettle Leaf relieves degenerative, rheumatic conditions, because it suppresses the release of inflammatory cytokines, which are critical regulatory proteins that are produced by cells of the immune system. Botanist James Duke believes this action arises from the bioactive compounds that cause the characteristic sting of the leaf.(1)

Similarly, Duke notes that Nettle Leaf is a highly effective, indeed, powerful natural remedy, when it comes to treating allergies.(2)

To top it all, with its high content of chlorophyll and vitally important minerals like boron, nettle rejuvenates the body, acting as a nutritive tonic.

Health Canada has given its formal approval to St. Francis Herb Farm’s product, “Nettle Spring Tops” (NPN 80010083).
