Description Organic Nettle (Stinging) Leaf Tincture 50ml Urtica dioica This organic nettle leaf tincture is a traditionally prepared 1:5 liquid extract made using the percolation method for efficient and thorough extraction of the plant’s soluble constituents. Crafted from carefully sourced organic nettle leaf, ethanol (40% ABV) and purified water, it is prepared as a balanced herbal extract. Nettle leaf has a long history of traditional use in Western herbalism and European folk practice. It has been valued as a nourishing herb and has commonly appeared in traditional preparations for general wellbeing. Often referred to as a foundational plant in the home apothecary, nettle has been used for centuries as a mineral-rich botanical. Each batch is handcrafted in small quantities and clearly labelled for transparency and traceability, reflecting traditional herbal practice and careful attention to process.
