This tea is a natural diuretic and can flush out toxins from the urinary tract thus helping to prevent the formation of kidney stones.

This lovely tasting tea aids digestion and helps combat stress, as the menthol present in the tea acts as a muscle relaxant which helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Nettles contain beta sitosterol a natural plant sterol ester, well known for boosting the immune system, and is used for heart disease and high cholesterol amongst many other numerous health benefits.
I brewed this infusion for five minutes at 100oC and it really has a wonderful smell and a truly fantastic taste, fresh and lively.
It goes without saying that if you're pregnant (or are under the doc for anything) caution should be exercised with herbal decoctions.
