Many of us consider it nothing but a nuisance. An irritant that we just want to get out of our yard before it grows too big. Yet the very weed we are most anxious to get rid of is a healer.

Stinging Nettle

The Benefits Of Stinging Nettle

1. Flushes The Kidneys

Susun Weed in her book, “Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year”, Tells the story of a woman who was due to be put on dialysis. Using nettles tea she was able to completely rebuild her kidneys.  Any accumulation of minerals in the kidneys, such as gravel and stones, is gently loosened, dissolved and eliminated by the consistent use of Nettle infusions.”

When used with large amounts of fluids in “irrigation therapy” it helps in healing urinary tract infections (UTI), urinary tract inflammation, and kidney stones (nephrolithiasis). 

2. Nettle Heals The Prostate

Stinging nettle root is used for urination problems related to an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]). These problems include nighttime urination, too frequent urination, painful urination, inability to urinate, and irritable bladder.

BPH is a histologically diagnosed disease and is present in 8% of men aged 41 to 50, 40 to 50% of men aged 51 to 60, 70% of men aged 61 to 70, and more than 80% of men older than 80 years. 

Benign Prostate Symptoms

The classic clinical presentation of BPH is the experience of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). These symptoms include:

  1. Frequency
  2. Nocturia
  3. Urgency
  4. Incontinence
  5. Slow or intermittent stream
  6. Straining, and terminal dribbling (Table 1).

These symptoms are experienced moderately to severely in 25% of men in their 50s, 33% of men in their 60s, and approximately 50% of men in their 80s.

Nettle relieves the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.  In a clinical trial, 287 BPH patients who had been treated with nettle (Urtica dioica) showed a significant reduction in IPSS, serum PSA and prostate size.

3. Helps In The Healing of Diabetics

The plant contains compounds that may mimic the effects of insulin. In a three-month study in 46 people, taking 500 mg of stinging nettle extract three times daily significantly lowered their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo.

4. Regulates High Blood Pressure

Stinging nettle has been traditionally used to treat high blood pressure. 

Firstly, it stimulates nitric oxide production, which acts as a vasodilator. This relaxes the muscles in your blood vessels, helping them to widen. Additionally, stinging nettle has compounds that act as calcium channel blockers, this relaxes your heart by reducing the force of contractions.

In animal studies, stinging nettle has been shown to lower blood pressure levels while raising the heart’s antioxidant defenses.

5. Helps With Arthritis

Stinging Nettle was used as far back as the ancient Egyptians to treat arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation tells us this about the nettle plant:

“The antimicrobial, antioxidant, analgesic and anti-ulcer properties of stinging nettle have been studied in Germany and Turkey. Stinging nettle is high in potassium, calcium, and magnesium and may be helpful for gout.”

Don’t Use Nettle When It Is In Bloom

When the nettle begins to flower it signifies a change in the plant. A change that benefits butterflies and moths, but is dangerous to humans. As John Wright tells us (in his Hedgerow book):

‘At the first sign of flowers you must stop picking. The plant will now start producing cystoliths – microscopic rods of calium carbonate – which can be absorbed by  the body where they will mechanically interfere with kidney function.’

How To Use Nettle Leaf

To prepare Nettle tea, add a tablespoon of nettle leaves to a cup of hot water. Cover the cup and let it steep for five (5) minutes before straining it. Drink a few cups of nettle tea during the day. You can also add nettle to your salads and meals. Once the leaves are cut small they will not irritate when ingesting. Irritation occurs when the leaves touch the lips. 

Aloe Vera The Miracle Healing Plant

The ancient Egyptians called Aloe Vera the “plant of immortality“. Both Cleopatra and Nefertiti attributed their beauty to this plant, spending much time soaking in baths filled with Aloe. It is also known as the medicine plant, the treatment plant, the miracle plant, and the healing plant.

Man has used the plant for over 5,000 years. We generally use it for topical applications, eg: burns, cuts and general skin improvement. However, Aloe Vera has much more than just topical value. Drinking Aloe juice has many health benefits as it detoxifies the body. More and more uses are being discovered almost daily. Here are some of the reasons you should be using the aloe vera plant: 

1. Helping With Weight Loss

Aloe juice speeds up metabolism; it helps in the promotion of proper digestion; and also aids in the burning of extra fat and calories. The juice from the aloe plant helps reduce water retention and fat accumulation. It contains lots of soluble fiber. This soluble fiber binds with the fatty foods we consume and helps in their elimination. Thus preventing the absorption of excessive dietary fat.

To accomplish this the aloe gel must be taken at least once daily.

2. Aloe Vera For Beauty

Aloe Vera Your Complete Beauty Treatment

The Aloe gel has been used for eons as a beauty treatment.  Aloe is used in many beauty and hair care products. The gel is a superior moisturizer and is anti-aging.

  • It helps remove wrinkles and facial lines.
  • Repairs sun damaged skin.
  • Acts as a sunscreen
  • Treats dark spots.
  • Heals acne and whiteheads.

Applying the gel morning and evening can help in the removal of skin blemishes. Also drinking the gel daily helps bring about beautiful skin from the inside out. 

Create Firming Mask

The aloin (the brown substance that seeps from the leaf when it is freshly cut) acts as a facial mask. Simply take the aloin from a freshly cut leaf and apply it to your face before going to bed. The gel will harden and bind the skin together. On arising simply wash off the gel to reveal beautiful, firm skin. 

3. Aloe Vera A Diabetic Cure

Lowering of blood sugar is a well-known effect of Aloe vera juice therapy. Drinking Aloe increases the secretion of insulin, thereby helping in the control of sudden spikes in blood glucose. Many diabetic patients are known to have reduced their medication when aloe vera juice is consumed regularly. 

If you are diabetic, frequent monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential when you start on Aloe vera juice. Diabetic medication should be adjusted accordingly under guidance from a qualified health practitioner.

4. Unusual & Unexpected Clinical Responses To Aloe Treatment

The active ingredient in Aloe is the molecule called Mannose. It is a ‘cell for function’ and an energy molecule. Remarkable studies over many years have revealed that the Mannose in Aloe has almost miraculous healing and restorative properties. Here are some of the miraculous results:

  • Down Syndrome – healed completely.
  • Dwarfism in infants completely healed and their appearance transformed to that of normal children.
  • Fetal Alcohol Syndrome – These children went from having an IQ of 52 to over 100 with the continued use of the juice. Even their appearance changed.
  • Leukodystrophies (a brain defect where these children’s brains don’t develop) – they came out of commas and begin to develop.
  • Alzheimer’s patients who had lost the ability to speak for between one (1) to two (2) years were restored to full capacity. 
  • Old Stable Strokes – up to 26 years, major sensory and motor defects returned to normalcy.
  • Parkinsons – over 300 documented Parkinson patients that have responded.
  • Cancer was completely healed.
  • Aids patients had their sores disappear.

The Dangers of Aloe

Aloe is as powerful as it is dangerous. What makes it dangerous? The answer is Aloin, the brownish/reddish substance under the skin of the Aloe plant. Not only is Aloin a mild laxative, but it is also toxic. Continued consumption of it can poison the system.

Making Aloe Juice

To remove the Aloin, cut the leaf and place it in a bowl of water. Leave it to soak. The water will turn red. Drain off the water and place the aloe in a fresh container of water. When the water has turned mildly discolored, remove the leaf and extract the gel.

To remove the gel cut off the sharp edges of the leaf. Slice the leaf in two along its entire length and scope out the gel. Once you have extracted the gel blend in some water.
