Nettle hydrolate

The stinging nettle – the defensive super herb

It is also called the queen of wild herbs. And rightly so. The stinging nettle grows up to a meter high on the edges of paths, in gardens, on meadows and in forests. Whether in the sun or in the shade, it looks for its place and once it has settled there, it is difficult to get rid of it. Perhaps because of its countless hairs filled with histamine and formic acid, it looks like a queen, often unapproachable. But the stinging nettle is a real nutrient bomb, especially in spring when the shoots are still young. Minerals such as iron and silica, vitamins and tannic acid are just some of its valuable ingredients.

Use of nettle hydrosol

The skin and hair in particular benefit from the active ingredients of nettle. Nettle hydrosol is the perfect hair tonic for hair loss and to strengthen hair roots. Since nettle can regulate the pH value of the skin, the plant water is very suitable for cleansing and caring for oily skin. It can also fully develop its balancing properties when processed into a cream.

When taken internally, the countless vital substances stimulate all body functions and have a blood-purifying effect.
