nettle
BENEFICIAL Organic non-alcoholic nettle extract. It eliminates
uric acid and is an effective alkalizer. Studies in Europe have shown how nettle increased urine flow and reduced residual
urine. I would put two (2) drops in a cup of warmed water and drink this tea following each meal. I found it gave me an extra boost of alkalinity when most needed it. Nettle is high in potassium and in my opinion [unless one is potassium restricted] an excellent food to eat, and drink to have. Nettle root
affects hormones and proteins that carry sex hormones (such as testosterone
or estrogen); this may explain why it helps benign
prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Nettle leaf (1000 mg daily) suppresses
the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha and in this way might be useful
for kidney health. Here is an article about stinging nettle extract lowering creatinine. I suspect the chief reason it does this is because stinging nettle is an affective alkalizer, a potassium rich alkalizer, and it diminishes uric acid. If any decide to take stinging nettle non-alcoholic extract be sure to get frequent checks of your serum potassium. High potassium can stop a heart's beating. Nettle also lowers cholesterol, helps Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy and gout. |
