Stinging Nettle Tincture
Product Details
Itch Weed is what I grew up calling this plant because that is what happened whenever I came in contact with it - I itched like crazy!
I later found out it is called stinging nettle, or Urtica dioica. And I have learned how to handle it so I don't get "stung".
Nettle also has a diuretic property for treating enlarged prostate and low urinary flow.
Stinging Nettle may help support:
- allergies
- digestion
- kidneys
- adrenal glands
- rheumatism
- diarrhea
- multiple sclerosis
- Alzheimer’s disease
- skin irritations
- mouth sores
- hemorrhoids
- internal bleeding
- blood in the urine
I forage this plant in central MN.
Comes in a 1 oz amber bottle with dropper.
I use the folk method for making all my tinctures, which uses no measurements except sizing things up with your eyes. So I put the plant material in a jar and then fill with alcohol.
Dosages -
Tinctures are meant to be used as medicine in small amounts. Add 10-20 drops to your tea, juice, water or directly into your mouth when needed.
Dosages for children are not provided in most herbals. To determine the correct dose you need to consider the size of the child, the ailment, the power of the herb you intend to use, and the adult dosage.
Young's Rule for determining dosage uses the child's age divided by twelve plus the age. The dosage for a 4 year old:
4/12+4 = 4/16 = 1/4 of the adult dose.
