A healthy tea with Nettle leaves
Hello friends,
How are you ? My name is @amana, and I am a new user on the Steemit platform. I joined to share my feelings and the things I enjoy. Today, I want to write about a herbal tea made from nettle plants, which is very useful at home.
Probably, every person knows nettle, which grows in the garden, in the forest, in the fields and is considered a weed.
But few people know that the leaves of this plant are characterized by various useful properties and are used in many therapies in combination with other means for the treatment of many diseases.
The beneficial components of nettle tea are due to the presence of a large number of biologically active elements that are initially contained in the plant itself.
For example, during the thermal processing of nettle leaves, substances are released that can reduce pain in certain diseases. Amino acids in the herb have a beneficial effect on protein metabolism in the body.
Nettle contains a large amount of water, almost 85%, in addition, the plant consists of fats, fiber, proteins and carbohydrates. The medicinal herb is also distinguished by its rich vitamin composition.
Many representatives of the B vitamin group have been found in it. Among them are thiamine, pyridoxine, riboflavin, pantothenic and folic acid.
Of the microelements, the plant is enriched with manganese, zinc, iron, copper and selenium. Macroelements are represented by chlorine, magnesium, calcium, potassium and phosphorus.
The stem and leaves of nettle contain phytoncides, essential oil, and starch. The stinging hairs that cover the leaves of the plant are enriched with formic acid and other nitrogen-containing acids, which is what causes nettle burns.
