Nettle Properties

We grow and use it in our detox programs for its exceptional detoxifying and remineralizing properties. Rich in vitamins, minerals (especially silica), proteins, and antioxidants, nettle helps eliminate toxins, support joint and bone health, combat fatigue, and enhance skin and hair vitality. Whether brewed as a tea, added to dishes, or taken as a powder, nettle is a natural ally for cleansing, energy, and overall wellness—used with care and respect.

Rich in gypenosides, it helps the body manage stress, support immune function, and enhance natural detoxification. Typically consumed as a soothing herbal tea, Jiaogulan is a gentle yet potent ally in fostering balance, resilience, and holistic well-being.
