Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Nettle is good for gout, too…and I would imagine other inflammatory diseases. Sharyn From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of Suzanne Nettle leaves make a tea used for anemia and blood purification, and an expectorant for clogged lungs, and a diuretic for kidneys, diarrhea, dysentery, piles, and hemorrhoids. Rich in iron, potassium and silicon, nettles combined with comfrey, mullein, or horehound can be used for asthma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I also use Nettles for my allergies and hayfever - drink nettles tea daily during times when people are cutting hay nearby or the cottonwoods are flying and don't have near the bad symptoms - is best if grown locally.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I'm still having a hard time reconciling the words " nettle " and " tea " . It just seems so foreign to me to make tea from nettles. I sure could have used it back in CA during haying season. Out here in CO, though, our allergies are almost nil now.

I know someone - well, a few someones, actually - who are dealing with Hep C, and the allopathic route is kicking their fannies. They might be open to suggestions from me. For myself, I am in the process of checking the cinnamon/cholesterol theory...(I'd know even sooner if I had been taking the amount I MEANT to take)!!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Evie, Can't say whether it is better or not as what works for one may or may not work the same for another... If milk thistle doesn't work then try dandelion root.. OR try them together as a combo.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Dong Quai root is a general tonic for menstrual cramps, irregular cycles, and menopause, and relieving insomnia, hypertension and cramps, and blood purifier, warming the circulation for both genders.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Best herb for Hep C is milk thistle, they would need to check with a naturopath or integrated medicine doc first though if they are taking allopathic treatments too.
